Guild Wars 2

For some reason Vizunah Square is 7th of the GW2 leaderboard even though the server isn’t doing anything anymore and is only part of Augury Rock (12th). This might influence matchmaking a lot since we’re now against Piken Square and Seafarer’s Rest, 2 top tier servers. This doesn’t make any sense and it keeps happening every week. We are getting destroyed but we keep ending up against tier 1-2 servers.

Last week, we finished last on our match by a huge margin. This is going to happen again this week.

This is working as intended even though it is very counterintuitive. It isn’t a bug. The way the matchmaking system currently works is that it’ll calculate the new rating for everybody to update the leaderboard. It’ll then make a temporary copy of the leaderboard and give everybody a random deviation between -100 to +100. It’ll sort this temporary leaderboard and then split everybody off into groups of 3 for their matches. Arenanet added this so you’d get some variation in the matches instead of the same matches nearly every week.

Augury Rock’s rating is 1691.558 which means you could be facing any server if you’re unlucky with the random deviation. If you had a +100 adjustment and Gandara + Far Shiverpeaks had a -100 each then you could end up with a match between #1, #2 and #11.

Arenanet need to overhaul the WvW matchmaking algorithm to suit the current state of WvW where the servers are bunched up fairly closely in terms of rating.

To add to that: #1 & #11 aren’t that far apart: 1869 vs 1691. Given how Glicko is scored, with a calculated deviation of 100-200 typically, that’s a statistical tie.

Seafarer’s Rest top tier server? SFR zergs make EotM blobs look like GvG guilds. Our players don’t even know how to use siege.

Sfr haha. The PvErs came back to WvW. Will be interesting how fast they can run when they meet actual fightserver.

Piken is dead btw and not t1 anymore, 50% of their core community transferred to another server for better fights. AR is 1 rank above you.

You should be happy about easy rating points, pips and kdr.

French servers…..they hope between other french servers like there’s no tomorrow and its literally the worst playstyle of all. Sit inside our keeps all day long and build ac’s….

Srsly the match up doesnt even matter, just join a normal server that actually wants to fight instead of camping keeps 24/7 and only nightcaps cause fights too hard. Even fsp blob cancer is better than this.

Time to summon Troma

Top 2 servers what are you talking about? SFR is rank 10 and like 50% population from piken already bandwagoned to other servers.Maybe learn to fight once instead of building 6 ACs to defend a paper tower so you wouldnt complain on forums.

Nice to know SFR is still strong. After 4 years of SFR i had to go to FSP because SFR was empty. I may actually think to go back

As someone on Piken and having fought Angry Rock a few times in the past I can honestly say that we are all targeting you guys because

1. You guys generally suck pretty hard at fighting (some people are decent though) but mainly because
2. You guys are so kitten salty, GH is just about the only server I can say might BM more than Angry Rock.

There’s a reason we all call you guys Angry Rock ya know.

u guys should see the NA… 1 server most of time is completelly outmaned, Anet has been matching empty servers against full stacked servers almost 24/7.

if A and B dont want to fight they can ktrain C.
