meixing.5439 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 @ devsYou guys should really pay attention on what's happening on T2 NA , second week in a row, when 2 servers are about to tie again??? What are the odds?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Are you saying that a manipulation is the only way that two servers could match in score?How would they accomplish this, given how difficult it is to get everyone on the same map to agree to the same strategy for the night, never mind for the full week?And other than the novelty of a tie, what benefit accrues to the worlds?Besides which: neither coordinating nor double-teaming is against the rules.

displayname.8315 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 A tie means no one has to move up to face the wildly unbalanced cruise control server. It's a good thing imo since the pops are so uneven thanks to the wonderfull people playing this game.T1 is fun unless your a casual.. so it's pretty much avoided by the player base of GW2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
style.6173 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 More specifically, ANET should stop giving BG a pairing. Not sure how it is good for WvW as a whole to hear people yell at others to stop playing so that we don't get more points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser.9873 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 No seriously, AR/JQ and FC/ET are very closely matched, and a tie is inevitable. We are locked together in a death spiral of ties. There shall never be any other outcome than ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovu.7560 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 As someone on a server trying to escape week after week of aforementioned wildly unbalanced cruise control server I still find it somewhat amusing.If two servers can coordinate a successful tie, all the more power to them. At most its a fault of the system, not the players.~ Kovu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anet pocketed a nice 35k gems i bet w the 70 tranfers to get it done. Fun to watch thoYeah, bet NCSOFT sanctioned this. $437.50 will be massive on the books for the shareholders. Anyways, non-tinfoil hat reply here - they could just tiebreak based on the background glicko that's still in the code. Not sure if it's worth it though. Kinda feel sorry for them though. They could try to use their influence on the scores to topple BG out of T1, but 'meh' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liston.9708 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Let’s go for the real manipulation hod/sf 15 behind.. 3 way tie (not sure if it is even possible)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liah.8324 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Hmmmm...that would be amusing! What would happen then? 3-way (so many jokes), does anyone move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Just goes to show, two servers can work together to control a tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalinBlume.9314 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Well, expandas transferred off from AR/JQ out of thin air a couple of days ago so... I don't think AR/JQ will have to worry about it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liah.8324 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Meh, I'm sure it'll be fine. If HOD/SF can't take on two servers at once, they'll drop, and maybe just focus on holding mid/high position there. Who knows. Who cares!? lol Not like there's any extra bits for being up there!

Sovereign.1093 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 its not hard to manipulate points. supposing server 1 2 3.each has same score. the strongest one simply has to focus on one team so x or y goes up or down or catches up.and if the community leaders of each group does it, they can manipulate the score as they will.only the stronger team can do this, but if one guy decides 1 2 will tie, they will.
