Guild Wars 2

For 2 nights our medium population server has been matched against the same high population servers. Not that I am convinced the population has anything to do with it.

Last night the winner had a score much higher than the total sum of our server and the 3rd participant. They also had all 3 orbs for most of the game and at the end.

Yet tonight we get matched against the exact same 2 servers and got rolled over in 20 minutes just the same as last night.

This is without even mentioning the ridiculous queue times that we are all aware off.

I don’t think anything’s wrong. It’s either that server is still not as good as the ones above them, or your server is not as bad as the ones below you so you still get matched up together cos it’s still the closest match for your server it can find. At least that’s what I think.

You may well be right there. It would be nice to get clarification from Anet on the situation. Right now it’s not worth playing from GH against Riverside and Gandara. Which is a shame because I have been looking forward to WvWvW for such a long time now as has all my friends. We can take the overly long queues but this mis-match is killing any desire to play WvWvW atm.

Actually earlier in the week we steamrolled both those servers then got them as a combo yesterday and lost and tonight we got them again as a combo, my guess is that the three are sitting at the same rank and therefor get matched up again.

That could also be true, though I remember facing Riverside and another German server earlier in the week and they both rolled us up fairly quickly.

Someone elsewhere suggested that perhaps Anet had shifted their frame from 24 hours to 48 hours to extend their stat gathering. Which would explain the sudden rematch against the same servers the following night and it would make sense for Anet to do this.

Without wanting to sound like a coward, I hope Anet have not shifted to a 72 hour, or longer, frame rofl
