Server Match up is terrible

How hard is it for the 3rd place to drop a tier. 1st place move up a tier. It not rocket science anet

Is it so hard for you to read the countless posts as to why 1 up 1 down is a terrible way to have this system work? SoS is going to have a good matchup this week. Maybe all the kittening will stop.

It’s not as terrible as the current system, that’s the point. The goal was to introduce variation to the matchups, and week-to-week movement is better than the loose randomization they have going right now.

Having server ratings in the first place was not a well-thought out idea, seeing as to how servers are not people and their performance can change overnight because of guild movements, while ratings are slow to respond to such changes. That lesson was never more obvious than at launch when you could transfer freely. That flaw is still there, just less prominent since it costs gems to move around. But when people do decide to move, the same thing still happens, you get bad matchups for weeks and months at a time.

We need a system that allows for rapid changes in ranking in accordance with rapid changes in performance. What we don’t need is tier 4 servers randomly being matched against tier 2 servers, fully six ranks apart. That level of randomization isn’t even sound in theory, and is obviously not working in reality. This is supposed to be a “recalibration” period to allow the ratings to resettle in new values, but the numbers being produced aren’t accurate because people are dropping out of WvW. You’re recalibrating the servers to incorrect values so that once you nail down the new rankings and reduce randomization, you will have even more long-term mismatches.

> Anet
> Doing an experiment
> Not controlling variables

The variance is waaay too high right now, but what they plan on doing eventually is to reduce that. If they were to cut it in half you would only fight the people in tiers next to you. The matches like kaineng getting stomped by fort aspenwood would not happen very often at all. If we had 1 up 1 down it would be kittenty matches every other week. What they are trying to do will give us a bit of room so that not every match is easy. The current system is messed up because the variance is much too far.

I also think that this system works much better for the lower tiers than the highest. There are 6-9 servers facing each other in the bottom 3 tiers instead of the same stale matchups.

The best system would be to have someone pick the matches themselves so we don’t get the obvious blowouts.

Calls for boycotts have never worked.

I’ve never heard anyone be happy about the randomized matchups. In T8, casual players have given up on WvW, and the more dedicated players are looking for other games to play.

I am in T8 and happy about the randomized matchups. Look at how much fun FC and ET had when we are stuck together, oh wait, FC got stomped while ET didn’t come out to play. Now another server can take the heat off of FC or ET. Much better system for T8 than there was before.

I meet new casual players each and every day. Players who say they have never really played in wvw before. They only play once in a while I have seen those very same people weeks later. So casual players have not given up on wvw.

Many of our most dedicated are burned out on wvw. Needing to put in 100% of your time to wvw and getting no visible returns is rough. Most people don’t pay for upgrades anymore. Only the dedicated few put in money now.

Your observations differ vastly from mine.

Fewer people buy upgrades because they realize there’s a pretty good chance that the objective will be lost before the upgrade is done. Same reason why people often empty the supply depot when they take an objective.

We wouldn’t be able to keep those upgrades without the random match ups though. I don’t see how this system is any worse for T8. When the match ups were not random we faced HoD or GoM zergs that were so much larger that it was impossible to make serious gains. At least now some large server is always ready to smack the enemies keep while we get hit.

I have met a bunch of really nice folks with the new servers too. I’ll take this over the same old matches any day.

I’m curious to know who the SF Major warrior that was roaming around FC’s borderland was today. He appeared to be a full zerker, hitting pretty hard, and then fleeing as good as an ele after downing a guy with other foes nearby. It seemed he liked to run and have a good laugh after doing so.

Was he a male Sylvari with a Legendary GS?

Pfft what am I even saying, if it was Palace none of you would have survived to even post in here…

think I fought that guy a long time ago, he barely beat me. now that my build is around 20x better Id like to fight him again.

I would tell you where to look for him, but:

A. Nobody knows
B. Once you did find him it would be too late for you

Anyone who plays MMOs knows that the playerbase is notoriously bad at understanding/accepting statistics. How many times have you heard the spiel about droprates decreasing (sometimes it’s true) because of a string of bad luck.

I understand it I’m just suspicious.

There is nothing to be suspicious over yet. Maybe if after 8 weeks they have been together 7 times you can be. 4 weeks is far too few. No reason to worry for a few weeks.

What I want to know is have anet thrown out the random variable for the 3 ‘T1’ servers? Cause for the past month it hasn’t been random.

4 weeks ago you got SoR/TC/SoS. If you look at Snowreaps’ numbers, the top 3 tiers will fight each other 50% of the time.

Yeah but including this week its been 75%.

Yeah and if you flip a coin 4 times it should hit heads and tails 2 times each. If it hits heads 3 times is the coin broken?

Lowering condition duration is absurd

Posted by: Ynot.8397

Ynot.8397

Heeeey. It’s not like a single Guardian in a group will annihilate any form of condition damage. Ehm. Wait.

I didn’t say it was a good thing but it negates all condi damage after 25% which is a free win against most condi necros.

All conditions applied before reaching 25% health will still continue to go on, not much people do bother with that because there are far more problems running around WvW than Condition Necros. So sure, scrap it. Nobody’s going to miss it.

I know that they continue but for the most part it won’t be a ton of conditions. This thread really only applies to small groups because in a large group using those runes and food to get rid of conditions means that person is not nearly as effective. IDK why you would run that food while zerging around.

Lowering condition duration is balanced by the runes and food you can use to increase duration. The only truly unbalanced thing in this game involving conditions is that silly engi trait that stops all condition effects. It is a grandmaster trait that reduces all condi durations by 100% when health is below 25%.

yeah because being under 25% health is a truly desirable position

FCvDRvSF. I need some revenge against those guys

Based on this week’s scores, which are split almost identically between the 3 for GoM/DR/FC and HoD/SF/ET, it seems like it would be ideal for a GoM/HoD and a DR/SF match up next, with FC or ET as the third. It seems FC and ET do better apart like this. But given that FC still ranks above ET, I’d rather see ET face DR and SF than GoM and HoD and see FC face HoD and GoM. It doesn’t look like ET has faced DR yet.

Yeah I wouldn’t mind facing both HoD and GoM. I’d quite like getting to face our old friends in SF and Dr. If only we could get a smaller version of Kaineng down here. We will make them all pay!!! Or not.

edit: I would not like to be stuck with ET.

Sactum of Rall against two servers combined?

Posted by: Ynot.8397

Ynot.8397

Everyone, I did not post this just to get thrown back in my face, tiers do NOT have to do with population, Sactum of Rall was once in tier 2 – 3, and by points, they got into tier 1.

right. you got more points when the WvW population of SOR outnumbered the WvW population of your enemies.

There is not skill in winning WvW. Only coverage.

NO, it is pure skill, pure comunity , pure coordination for SOR to win.
for others to win it is just coverage

For Blackgate its different. Numbers, community, coordination do not matter here.

For Blackgate, it starts with our morning routine. We start by putting some awesome-sauce on our toast before we make 20 laps around LA with our lolerskates screaming, “WE’RE #1”

Our afternoon meal is a high protein diet. Every noon meal, we kill an afker in LA and roast him over a spittle. Then we take communal man poos into the mystic forge. So maybe community is important here on BG.

In the evening (I can only speak for NA primetime here), we gather the guilds together for an awesome RP session. We work ourselves up into a Tarnished Coast style role-playing nerd frenzy. Battles from Braveheart, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Patriot, The Alamo and Street Fighter are played while a great motivator screams about things precious to the NA players in BG: “MURICA” “FREEDOM” “BALD EAGLES”.

We then go WvW.

So community is important here.

This is the best post on the forums. You win the internet for the day.

Laurels needed for WvW...really?

in WvW

Posted by: Ynot.8397

Ynot.8397

Im a solo roamer. Its a common role in WvW. I have 8 classes. I need 125 laruels to fully gear one character for WvW, using rings from FotM. That’s 1000 laurels needed. The problem isn’t that it takes a week to get the laurels. The problem is, if you do every daily and every monthly in a month you get 40 Laurels. Its going to take me a minimum of 25 months to get all these for my classes. And they are talking about adding Ascended armor this year…

OK… see that part I bolded up top? That’s where you’re screwing up and getting it totally wrong. You don’t need ascended gear for WvW. That is the great lie being propagated here.

You do not need ascended gear for WvW. If you think you do, odds are it’s not the gear that’s the problem.

I think what your saying is true for now as the ascended set is currently limited. However, they plan to add ascended armor and probably weapons as well. The cumulative effect of a future full set of ascended will indeed be substantial.

Thus if you do not wish to fall behind the power curve in the future you need to get ascended.

But as it stands all of these complaints are silly. If they make the ascended armor and weapons take about 300 laurels people might just have a complaint. Somehow I don’t see that happening.

Please implement 1 up 1 down for matchups

in WvW

Posted by: Ynot.8397

Ynot.8397

I don’t know why people keep suggesting this. Think about it this way. Many people hated their matchup with TC because they were the strongest by far in their fight unless a T1 server dropped in (I think dragonbrand could hold its own but not being in that tier I’m not sure). Now instead of that matchup like that every other week T2 would be faced with JQ, dragonbrand, and SoS. This week dragonbrand is crushing SoS. Imagine how it would be for them to face JQ. Now make these matchups happen across almost every tier every other week. So for half of the year WvW would be absolutely pointless.

Now I might be presuming too much based on the countless threads and just looking at score, but I think that system might just be a failure.

Now lets look at the current system. Tier 1 is even, Tiers 2 and 3 are clear victories, and the rest seem to be fairly competitive. There are week for some servers that are not the most competitive, and that sucks. But I have been in tier 8 since launch and I gotta tell ya, we’ve had much worse.

If you can give us an actual good reason, besides you are bored this week, for a 1 up 1 down system I’d love to hear it. I understand not wanting an easy win, but think about it this way: Next week with 1 up 1 down you’d have a nice big loss.

Server Match up is terrible

Ynot.8397

The 2 lowest servers by far are FC and ET. In someone’s infinite wisdom, they aren’t matched up against each other this week. I guess being thumped by 2 sides instead of one is a great plan in bizaaro world.

You may not be able to fathom this, but we actually prefer not being matched up. We are both too weak to take on any of the servers right now when paired up. When the other two servers are more evenly matched nobody is camping our spawns. Just look at the difference between the last two weeks and the first week of the new matchups. This really is better for us at the bottom.

Scoring is going to turn out the same. Having 2 bigger population servers fight over 4 maps is gonna look a lot like 1 bigger population server fighting over 4 maps. Reset night looks close because everyone is excited to see the new matchup. There wont be any difference by the end of the week.

Just look at FC’s week with IoJ and DR to know that what you said is not true. Now I know that IoJ and DR hate each other so we did better than we should have, but beating DR with a little help is sooooo much better than the week before it or the two after it. http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/48/75

Now I don’t know what server you play on but I can tell you everyone I talked to in that DR IoJ FC match had a lot of fun. We had more people on our teamspeak and people in the borderlands that were very active. The match was great! Did we win? No, of course not. The awesome thing was not being focused constantly. So yeah, this match up is way better for us.

Don’t try to speak for the lower tiers when clearly you have no idea what we feel.

Well aren’t you angry. I’ve spent 7 months of nightly WvW on FC. If you don’t think we beat DR solely because of IoJ’s payback hatred, you are insane. They were taking our towers from DR and then leaving them for us. This is all moot until they do something about the populations of the servers anyway. I’m glad you feel that getting your butt kicked a little less than last week is way better.

Clearly we are not on the same server because we didn’t get our butts handed to us on reset, at all. We went at it with DR and GoM. We even managed to hold SM castle for a while. We haven’t had this many waypoints on the map in ages. We are doing so much better this week. We had around 70 people in our TS for reset night. That population didn’t drop off for about 4 hours. Based off of just reset this week will be better than the last two.

I guess the difference comes from you thinking that 8k down after 24 hours isn’t a butt kicking. The overall score at the end of the week will be a shade closer and we will take third. I like ET because even though its for 2nd place, at least there is a close score battle all week long. None of these matchups is very fun. Losing by 160k and having a few waypoints and losing by 220k and being spawn camped both suck. Everyone shows up for restart and as the scores spread out, they disappear (or pile on) depending on what your server score is.

An 8k difference is nothing compared to the other weeks. I don’t care about the score battle with ET personally. If FC tried to crush ET we would, but most of the biggest guilds (and I’d say the majority of FC) agree that fighting is either not fun or not really worth it. What is the point of kicking down when we can try ourselves by punching up?

Differing opinions I guess.

Scoring is going to turn out the same. Having 2 bigger population servers fight over 4 maps is gonna look a lot like 1 bigger population server fighting over 4 maps. Reset night looks close because everyone is excited to see the new matchup. There wont be any difference by the end of the week.

Just look at FC’s week with IoJ and DR to know that what you said is not true. Now I know that IoJ and DR hate each other so we did better than we should have, but beating DR with a little help is sooooo much better than the week before it or the two after it. http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/48/75

Now I don’t know what server you play on but I can tell you everyone I talked to in that DR IoJ FC match had a lot of fun. We had more people on our teamspeak and people in the borderlands that were very active. The match was great! Did we win? No, of course not. The awesome thing was not being focused constantly. So yeah, this match up is way better for us.

Don’t try to speak for the lower tiers when clearly you have no idea what we feel.

Why can necros use forms when stomping?

To be fair the necro stomp does require 30 points in soul reaping to work well. You don’t get the stability without it.

I don’t mind the stealth stomping. I really hate all the classes with invulns or easy access to stability. I have downed a ton of thieves trying to stomp friends.

Dude it’s kittening frustrating when you want the snickers bar but your dad gets you a kittenty kit kat bar. Your dad know’s that it’s bullkitten, he deserves to get the tantrum thrown all over his face.

But why would you go for a snickers when you can get a butterfinger?

The huge fight last night in FC BL at the ruins was a lot of fun. It really felt like a legitimate open field battle(in terms of medieval esque type of battle) seeing as one zerg didn’t just steamroll the other creating a fight that lasted more then 10 minutes. It was also quite fun holding you guys off at the bridge and then comically switch sides of the bridge.

I switched side hoping our guys would come behind you. It would have worked if you didn’t get another 15 to come behind us at the end XD

To be honest I didn’t even know that they were going to come up behind you guys. I was so focused on keeping track of your forces movement I didn’t see our allies flanking behind. I only started to notice when I saw your guys jumping off the bridge haha :P

We swam away like champs. Fight us underwater next time :p

“With the introduction of Tainted Shackles, we’ll also be adding a new condition to the game: Torment. This condition is designed to play around with movement, one of our fundamental combat mechanics. Enemies under Torment will take damage periodically; as they move, they’ll take even more damage. In looking to expand the condition diversity of thieves and mesmers, we decided to include Torment skills for those two professions as well.” Giving thieves more control in a fight? Good stuff. Just let us necros have it and be done ANet!

Fun video of this matchup from before the random server flips.

Thanks to [Deth] for putting a competitive team together to go head to head (even though it was only once), we appreciated the go and would love to see more of your A squad.

The [KoM]ies and [PAXA] out steamrolling. With a little [PAXA] vent chatter for your enjoyment. ENJOY folks.

Little hint of advice, watch the video in 1080P.

WTF! That guy didn’t know her eye color? What a kitten .

Good video btw.

In this case, you’re the random forum warrior. Have a nice day.

Again saying nothing meaningless.

Only if I had started to record the numerous times I wanted to 1v1 a member of DETH….only to see them turn and run away/wp back to spawn…..Not speaking of all of DETH, but the majority of them will only 2v1, 3v1, 4v1, etc. I have NEVER faced anyone from DETH 1v1, kind of sad actually. You are more like the PAXA of FC to be honest, so go brag about 20v5’s somewhere else.

Haha a shot at PAXA… surprise, surprise! Pro tip: this game isn’t balanced around 1v1s, and you sure as hell are looking in the wrong place for them in WvW. With that said, I would gladly roflstomp you 1v1 if you’d like.

Please make a video of it when you are done! Or maybe a nice slideshow of screenshots. That might actually be cool.
