Are tiers being reduced?


Recommended Posts

Can we get confirmation will next relink have less tiers? I know they're tweaking the matchmaking algorithm, but it is obvious to anyone there aren't enough people, commanders or queues. with EU having 6 and NA 5 tiers.

Nothing about in the live stream and haven't seen any dev notes indicating so far.

Another extra tier was a bad idea. Especially in summer. In order to prevent large queues a few hours after the reset time, it is not reasonable to apply an additional tier. Rather, you could think of giving eotm pips for one day, etc.

 

The best betas so far were the first one and the second. This is precisely in relation to the time zones of the population. The rest have all become weak.

* The WR system itself should be able to adjust the number of tiers depending on the player/hours metrics. So it might adjust itself or not, depending on how those numbers match up to the numbers ANet set as goals/limits for each team size.
* This also means, that it's quite possible that the WR system created the extra tiers in the first place, as otherwise team sizes would be above it's goal-numbers from ANet.
* Depends on if ANet implemented this yet, or let the WR algo have free control over this or not. Considering it's one of the main mechanics of the system, I'd assume it's working (but it's possible they over-ruled it first time, dunno.)

This was a goal mentioned to allow for upping or dropping as needed.
