What happened with matchup?


Recommended Posts

I’m in a small guild and this time we got put in a dead server group. It’s literally outnumbered in the middle of the day and middle of the night, and has been that way all week.  Hope this isn’t how alliances is going to work because this will quickly kill the game mode off.  At least there is a lot more action in live WvW.

To do Anet's job for them once more:

No, the matchmaking algorithms are not in the beta yet.

They intend to look at similar pieces (size, activity) being formed and then spreading them out.

Exactly where they are with their betas no one really knows though since Anet are not talking about their progression, we do not experience any noteworthy progression when testing and we do not even know what they expect us to test anymore. Of what we can see, some bugs, possibly, may be a bit more infrequent now over the year from beta 1 to this.

Fun fact: This week about as many players was killed in WvW as the total reported casualties in the 5 months of the Battle of the Somme.

Slightly more actually died (everyone falls off a cliff at some point).

the system promise a population reroll every week? so theres no problem.

uhm, no? just because the beta lasts only one week that doesn't mean anything that population rebalance will happen every week in the future too. 

In fact, when ANet went into a bit more detail on what is planned, they told us that they are planning for the seasons (the new "relinking"-cycle after WR is finished) to last 6 weeks (rather than the current 8 weeks). 

The beta-phases just last one week currently, as we are only testing the team-creation algorithm (which isn't even completed yet as it lacks alliance-functionality). There isn't even any matchmaking involved (yet)

6 weeks? well so theres a case to be crazy. why be stuck with a shity server for 1,5 months? lol.

I don't remember the 6 bit but yes its not every week, its your new Team 1Up and 1Down against other Teams but not relinking weekly. Hence the testing cycles of these weekly test so they can figure out how their logic is holding up.

Where did you get 6 weeks from? The original document says 8 week seasons.

For the people that need to brush up

yeah, i got that wrong in my memory, possibly because of the fact that transfers will be locked for the last week of the season. 

however: They also said, that this is NOT set in stone and may be subject to change.
