Aim
-To come up with a system to balance and reinforce enjoyment of WvWvW
-Do it so that everyone’s efforts are Equal and Contributing at any time without any form of punishment/disadvantage
Analysis
-Current problem creating issue of night capping arises from the PPT system, or the potential for it to “Run Away” with itself if a server can get a +600 PPT for a certain particular amount of time if no resistance is met. If said situation occurs over a 8 hour period, 19200 points is awarded, If it repeats over consecutive days demoralization occurs as other servers in match up fall away in point score and unofficially declare the “Match Over”
Proposed solution
Combination of the old system with emphasis on 12 hour periods where the scoring system remains equal regardless of opposition met, population of other servers, Timezones.
Except you now Get Victory points
Victory Points are to be awarded after every 12 hours [(Set) Yes I’m stealing a idea from Tennis here, bear with me its 0040 in the morning for me and for lack of a better word] Who ever has the highest score with the current system wins the set with the points system being
Winner = 3 Point
2nd Place = 2 Point
Last Place = 1 Point
PPT accumulated scores reset back to 0 and the next set begins.
At the end of the 2 Weeks the Victory Points are added up with the winner being the one with the most points
Now
Server A has Good Daytime / Ok Night time
Server B has Good Daytime / Good Night time
Server C has Ok Daytime / Good Night time
So looking at this setup its fair to say
Servers A B will do well during the day, C might struggle
Server B and C will do Well during the Night, A Might Struggle
Match Plays out over 12 Sets (6 Days) with the following
Set 1 A 3 B 2 C 1
Set 2 A 1 B 3 C 2
Set 3 A 3 B 2 C 1
Set 4 A 1 B 2 C 3
Set 5 A 2 B 3 C 1
Set 6 A 1 B 3 C 2
Set 7 A 3 B 2 C 1
Set 8 A 1 B 2 C 3
Set 9 A 2 B 3 C 1
Set 10 A 1 B 2 C 3
Set 11 A 3 B 2 C 1
Set 12 A 1 B 2 C 3
Server A 22
Server B 28
Server C 22
So in this outcome as Team B has the Balanced Day/Night Ration compared to the other 2 servers after 12 Sets it would be declared the Winner right
But this is half the change
Look at it again
Set 1 A 3 B 2 C 1
Set 2 A 2 B 3 C 2
Set 3 A 3 B 2 C 1
Set 4 A 1 B 2 C 4
Set 5 A 2 B 3 C 1
Set 6 A 1 B 3 C 3
Set 7 A 4 B 2 C 2
Set 8 A 1 B 2 C 3
Set 9 A 3 B 3 C 1
Set 10 A 2 B 2 C 5
Set 11 A 3 B 2 C 1
Set 12 A 1 B 2 C 3
Server A 26
Server B 28
Server C 27
What the hell happened in this match up
Stone Mist Castle
Currently worth 35 + on its own
will now be worth 100 Points (Debatable)
Now your thinking Moose WTF Man??
here’s where it gets interesting
The emphasis is now on SM to attack it because its worth so many points, come on its a Awesome castle deserving to be God Like
At a Price
Notice how in some of the Match the loosing servers gained extra points? This is a result of a new Condition
“When 1st Ranked server holds SM and looses it to either 2nd or 3rd place server, these servers gain a bonus Victory Point as a “Humiliation” factor to the best server losing to a lower ranked server"
“If first place re-captures Stone mist, off one of the other 2 servers, it is awarded no bonus, other than being able to have another chance at solidifying their lead”
“However a new Bonus Points is up for grabs it the other servers can take it”
“In case of two Drawing servers for first , the bonus point system is NOT awarded”
- In Summary
This scoring system in regards to the one week or 2 week matches that ANET will end up deciding on, emphasizes that each set is as important as the first ones, right down to the last one, with the Stone Mist Wild card, able to allow lower ranked servers the chance to claw back, should the leading server allow the to,
Ensuring
Everyone’s Efforts, regardless of timezone, location, “Primetime” matters to the final outcome
Just who is the Best server?
