Leaa.2943 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 And Arena Net proves once again that they pick the same servers for no links whilst the stronger servers rarerly if ever end up on that spot. Deso and SFR are again back to that spot. When are people going to understand unfair this is and how some servers get a better treatment then whilst others is super unfair. I repeat again for a more fair gameplay in WvW ALL hosts should be without a link and then cycle through them all. As int is now in EU It would never ever be accepted by anyone in any other game in a competative game mode, but here people who are in the good spot shuts up or call them self out as something better then those that are unfairly treated and there for this is ok. Hello everybody in EU wake up for goodness sake! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardamon.5426 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 People haven't been playing WvW the last few weeks so the population looks smaller than what it is. Watch the change once the relinks go live 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My condolences. Getting CD is like getting a negative link from experience. We really need double links on some hosts or delete a tier. Though given what's happened so far t1 servers will get them; guess they've just given up on this and going all in on WR.

AR is the 2nd rated server, so shouldn't they have been rerated to full and linked with a low rated server? Remember, glicko has nothing to do with hours played, population, or coverage. Glicko is it's own rating, and takes into account the entire performance history of the server. It is possible to have only 2 full servers of the 24 servers in NA, AND have glicko pair them together based on their glicko score, not the fact that they have more available players than anyone else. The entire matchmaking system in GW2 is crap, and that's the nicest thing I can say. Glicko ratings are skewed from years ago when some servers were powerhouses, and doesn't take into account all the bandwagon transfers that keep happening. 1 up 1 down is constantly putting stacked servers vs empty ones. The actual scoring/victory conditions wvw uses allow far too much gaming of the system to allow huge populations/guilds to stay in lower tiers to fight no one and doors. Alliances...fix nothing. Not populations. Not bandwagoning. Not gaming of the scoring system. Not coverage disparities. /sigh 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh tanking servers is putting stacked servers vs empty ones. 1u1d works fine when you give it time to work out, it's the players stack movement whenever they feel like it, and their desire to face no challenge and tank that are the problems.

Mag is 1 overall, and KN is 24 (last). https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/na/wvw If you look at those glicko numbers, they have not changed for KN since May 2022. Just about every one of the glicko scores with dashes are so old, I would call them pointless numbers. The only glicko numbers to change are the servers that are hosting. I mean, if you look at DR, their glicko score has not changed in over a year come Monday January 30, 2023 (last changed January 29, 2022). So, take those glicko numbers with a grain of salt (or more like a tub of salt).

Tryfan.1457 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 5 hours ago, Ronin.4501 said: Population is determined by hours played, not by the number of players, so if those guilds that transferred didn't spend a lot of time in WvW this past week, it wouldn't affect the server's WvW population status enough to move it to HIGH status. It's probably not just from that week. I am sure its a rolling average of activity, but who knows how long the period is. It could easily be a month. So changes may take some time to fully factor in.

Blockhead Magee.3092 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Just based on the High, Full, Medium on the servers, that doesn't look balanced at all.
