Guild Wars 2

Beyond laughable, kittening joke.

haha what else you guys expect

Oh wait! let me L-O-L …

Fail # 176242384562845263454 by ANET

Boomstin.3460:

Meh, i was looking forward to the Gandara-Ag-Fsp matchup.

Same… after we had RS & AM to fight…

Well, thanks for trying you guys & girls at Anet…

But tier 2 EUR exactly same matchup…

Perhaps not enough random element?

Still, sounds like you have been working hard, so thanks for the effort…

T3 EU is the same matchup.

Nice new match up !

By the looks of it i would say that everyone has the exact same matchups as last week…

Way to go…

Same matchups.
No one was able to join EB – everything gone.

Good start for a reset…

Well, atleast they made 3 servers happy. Gandara,Far Shiverpeaks and Aurora Glade thanks you.

Wow, good job Anet. All this work and we have the same matchups -.-

Somehow I fathom the new system did not make it onto the production servers in time… Well, a week delay and back to the drawing board?

clap clap clap Wonk
and again, someone wonders, a-net fails to deliver the content that they promist.
I think i live in a dreamland where devs test their programms on beta servers…..

I would guess that what Curuglas said is pretty accurate. Devon made the announcement about 2 hours ago, so EU might not see the new system but rather NA may be the test dummy this week.

Hmm, ANet, your EU matchups seem to be based entirely on ranking right now – it’s either a bug in your matching system, or something didn’t make it somewhere. Either way, the official post at the top of the forum seems … uhh, how shall I put it – off the mark a bit.

Oh well, better luck next week I suppose

Can we please have an official answer ?

I’m sorry EU. I do hope though that we in NA get the match up swap at our reset later tonight

Croustibat.1304:

Can we please have an official answer ?

since its another bug, they wont…

Can someone smarter then I explain why a simple system of 1st goes up 3rd goes down wouldn’t work? I’m really getting a sense of over complication here…

I’d imagine it’ll take some time with the new system for the scores to adjust enough for more varied pairings to occur. Give it another week or two, then we’ll see where we’re at.

Every week will have a T1 server playing a T2 and T3 server, no matter what.. this pattern continues all the way down the ladder. IE T2 server will be playing a T3 and T4 server..

No one in T3 will want to win because they’ll get smashed by whatever monster from T1 loses and no one in T2 will want to win because they’ll get thrown in with 2 T1 monsters.

I could definitley see some of the matchups being the same but not all. I’m no statistics guru but that seems extremely unlikely.

Fingers crossed for the SoS CD and EB matchup that we earned glicko wise. Its been 2 months of this same CDvsSoSvsSBI battle. If this new random gives us the old matchup i think some are going to go insane.

Yeah, I’m on SBI and I would prefer SBI-BP-AR than another week of the same too. But if they do get the change in for NA, who knows, we could still be together.

Hey guys, there is 1/100000 chance that everyone rolls a 0. That’s what happened, best luck next time.

They weren’t all the same, just mostly. If you look at the numbers on MOS, you can see that the ratings changes were more drastic than usual, some of the servers lost 30+ points and others gained 30+. With the old system you were likely to only receive 20-30, tops, in either direction, with the average being close to +/- 20-25 (excluding outliers and eyeballing it).

Gotta admit it would be funny if the only change in NA was for EB to be kicked back down to t5 again.

Oh, by the posts, I thought it sounded like they were all the same. But still that stinks if most were the same. Unless of course the servers wanted to be the same, which sounds like T1 NA do so they have some hope.

Sure, as opposed the chance of a T1 server rolling the lottery and landing with (2) T3 servers, that would be a ‘smashing’ good time as well. But I digress.

It was more of a rhetorical question with passive aggressive jabs towards the new system that may or may not be bugged, and may or may not be implemented.

But in any case, thank you for the reply

Cheers.

Anyone that thought about it for a second should know that the odds of having the same matchups this week are still quite high. The system isn’t just going to instantly compensate for large rating gaps (especially in top and bottom tiers). It may take 2 or 3 weeks to see some mixing and matching. Quit asking for so much all at once and just play the game.

On SoS we’ll be happy either way. CD has gotten stronger and EBay will join us if we don’t get RNG in NA.

If we do, the odds are against us in a match with SBI so maybe they will get a break.

The new matchups are exactly what they would have been under the old system, which involves a few changes from last week.

I am looking forward to getting stomped by a random set of people now. Hurrah?

Can you explain what “Restarted WvW” means?

this is something Anet don’t understand and need to learn.

if a server see outman buffs all they gonna do is build 100 golems and golem rush everything because they wont face any real fight and try to take everything before a guild or ppls from other borders can join.

in eb it toke me 7 minutes to take a whole map with golem rush 25+1 omega.

because of outman buffs when the zerg joined the battle we farmed them at spawn and they rage quit 30 minutes later.

DevonCarver.5370:

The new matchup code didn’t make it all the way to where it needed. We have addressed that and restarted WvW. The new matchup will be there on restart. Sorry again for the inconvenience.

This dude gettin kitten done man lol

We (on Baruch Bay) suddenly have Riverside and Miller Sound members on our borderland oO xD xD

I would hope that if a T1 server gets thrown into (2) T3 server matchup, they would double team the hell out of them! It just offers different possibilities then WULD.. same servers would be moving up/down every week and would be just as stagnant as it was before.

blah nvm.. lol

Was looking at NA data when I stated that; whoops. Seems like it’s fixed now though.

Nice to see the fixes rolling out quickly.

I’m playing against my own server as SFR player now :x

The probably just restarted the WvW servers, since the statement was past-tense; should still be today.

Woah, we(Abaddon) got some French or Spanish people on our BL. X.x

Ahh, patch day best day

Got kicked out!

They’re updating it atm it seems. And btw, I saw people from my server who were marked as invaders and we were fighting ;O

Suddenly English/German/Polish Map chat mixed <3
So epic… ANet, this is the best feature: All servers vs alls ervers vs all servers. We even fight against our own server members <3

thx for useless fighting, bracket first after reset, now 3rd with 400 points less

edit: nevermind … complete reset
