Per suggestion by @Inculpatus cedo.9234 I'm adding a note that may be related to possible similar root cause, a thread I opened here, but this post may receive more dev attention than the new thread I was instructed to create by the Guild Wars 2 Support Team: This thread seems specific to people who had selected an alliance guild prior to match making and then were inappropriately placed on the wrong team. The issue I describe in my linked thread is: I'm properly on team X (Blue in this case, and was all weekend) and then Monday night: I wait in queue, load EBG and am on the correct team (blue); then queue up for Blue map, and load in as a Red player, which means everyone else in my party is now an enemy, as they still load on the correct blue team. So I queue up for Green map and when I load up I am back as a Blue player.

That seems specific to people who had selected an alliance guild prior to match making and then were inappropriately placed on the wrong team. The issue I'm describing is I'm on team X (and have been for a couple days since the alliance triggered reset) and then one day, I go from one WvW map to another, and now I'm on team Y. Then I change to a difference WvW map and now I'm back on team X (which is where I should have been on the other map). I feel this issue is distinctly different since it has (I believe) nothing specifically to do with the match making process. More likely has to do with logic during loading a map. They may both have similar root causes, but definitely different steps involved in this issue than the thread you indicated. To be perfectly honest, that's why I submitted a bug ticket - forums seems like one of the last places a dev would want to look for specific bug issues, since they would have to wade through 95% bloat to find an actual, distinct issue. However, I was told specifically to make a thread. per GM Zippy the Wonder Squirrel: "You’re also welcome to report a game issue in the Bugs sub-forum of the Guild Wars 2 Forums (https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/forum/9-bugs-game-forum-website/)." And that's what I have done 🙂

That's rather amusing that is seems similarly related being that titan's staircase players were involved in both scenarios. Maybe there is something specifically broken with this particular shard. A "Titan's Staircase" player was healing me as an ally during my brief stay as an enemy before swapping maps and being back on the correct team.

Yeah, you would only be able to access that link if you logged in as me, or the dev/support anet teams. That's the support ticket I logged. This is mostly a bug report post for the devs and the ticket includes screenshots from in game, which cannot be attached to an in game bug report. Hopefully some devs actually read this, though I am somewhat reluctant to expect so. Time will tell... I posted this here as instructed by the GM response to my support ticket (as I mentioned above), so pretty sure this is the right place 😉

Georemjimg.3490 Yesterday at 22:50 I selected the guild "BagS" and upon original reset have been appropriately loading on to the Blue team this entire weekend (Dragon's Claw), until Monday evening. My friend and I waited in a short queue to get to EBG (since it had a queue of 1) with the intent to queue up and port to home bl (blue) after we made it to EBG. We were fighting on the same team, until our queues popped... We both had similar timing on queue and "Travel" pop option; while I was loading, my friend got a popup and then proceeded to load as well. However, when we both finished loading, I discovered I was now on the Red Team (Griffonfall), despite my alliance and team affiliation in my "BETA" selection tab having been unchanged. I have also included screenshots of combat log showing I was "damaging" blue players and they were named (Hololujah is my friend, for instance, with which I had been grouped with this whole time) and also showing "allies" healing me, but named as enemies: ie Titan's Staircase Platinum Knight heals you for x ... We both queued up again to swap to Green map, and after I sat in queue for over 30 minutes, I was able to rejoin my friend on that map as teammates. My friend changed maps almost immediately, presumably because the queue size was smaller (which my friend has almost no queue, and I had a queue of 15 to wait through)? This whole ordeal occurred around approximated 9:30pm Eastern time (ported to Blue "home" map as a Red, enemy), and I was able to rejoin my friend on Green map as the correct Blue teammate around 9:56pm Eastern. I hope these details help, and more info can be pulled from game logs. I had been told by folks in game I should submit a bug ticket online, so I had not submitted anything in game or here until this morning. I presume at this point, submitting something in game would be pointless. I was told by GM Zippy the Wonder Squirrel that I should not submit a game bug ticket, but should post on the forums. Please find all of my screenshots I submitted with said bug ticket: https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/requests/8497424
