- The matchmaking IS a problem and probably will be always an issue but can be improved...no doubt about it.
About cross divisions matches...that need to be fixed. One things is cross league matches (no prob in that ones), other is cross divisions.
The divisions are defined in the GAC beginning, no way to change it until next GAC and its only based on overall GP no matter what (if the rounds are oinly chars or ships+chars).
The GP line is not the only difference between divisions.The total teams in defense, the potencial points earned with that and even the final division classification rewards need to be different in each division so, cross divisions matches doesnt make any sense. "NicWester;c-1910086" wrote:

They need to just remove the 'fluff' GP from each matchup, and work from there.
And by fluff, I mean completely unusable stuff like lv75ish and below/g7 and below. We all spend our resources, in this game, in the manner we think is best. I agree they shouldn't punish people who develop broad, but if you've got a huge squad of usable toons. You're gunna have a hard time holding back higher geared toons.
That's exactly what they did.
Not it is not. It would have been if there was some kind of logic to see if the toons beyond 80 are fluff or not.
now they have removed more than just the "fluff". Most of the time it's fluff but up in division 1 and 2 it's not...
For example:
If someone has 80 G12 and 100 fluff toons all lvl 85 g7 they are potentially matched against someone with 160 G12 and 20 g7.
Extremely unbalanced, these 2 players should never fight each other. It's not even a close competition or fun for either side.
If they just removed the "fluff" only - causing the algorithm to recognize one guy has 80 + fluff and the other has 160+ fluff it could prevent this matchup to begin with. lots of complaints would be eliminated if they just removed the fluff and started from there.
Essentially they removed the fluff for some people like the 1st guy with 80 g12 , and for others like the guy with 160 g12 they removed any consideration of all the "not so fluff" g12 that are beyond that players top 80.
There's a big difference, they cut corners here and ended up cutting the legs off the table (legs attach at corners)."Krull304;c-1911828" wrote:
Hi,
I have been trying to read through all this to find an answer to two questions.
1. Is The GP used just Character GP or your overall including Fleet?
2. In the app you see the GP low and high for a division. From what I read that is a loose guideline. Is that correct?
After this last GAC started I can see there is a large difference in GP between me and my opponents. Based on the answer to number 1 above I am either ahead a division if based on Character GP or they got pulled back a division if we use total GP. Any insight would be helpful. Thx.
And a note, my match ups are inline even with the discrepancy in GP, so I think it is a good job. I just want to know more details to share with my guild.
Multiply the no of your defense slots by 10, and calculate your top toon gp using that number. i.e. in my case that's my top 80 toons total gp that gets matched with another players. This is the theory, it's supported by ingame explanation and is also working across the border upon many samples. It's even set in the comparison bots right now.
Then ships are not in the equation right now, but we should expect them shortly.- The GA was worth it ... the GA Tornament is simply ridiculous, they managed to reach the bottom and now they scrape the barrel .... If you have a 3 division GP around 3.6mln built on a certain number of toon six certainly coupled with players much stronger than you, and therefore able to deploy more teams in defense and offense. It is thought that it is not convenient to bring the toons to g12, since they are the main parameter for matchmaking ... as usual they have implemented a gaming solution without a serious test on various levels of division / GP and already from the first relise they have had a growing number of complaints, now for 5 weeks we are forced to suffer this crap ...
- The current matchmaking is horrible. The old matchmaking from Grand Arena was much better. It's a completely nonsense now. All my opponents have Full DR team. How could be any fun on this if I am far behind them??
Grand Arena was my favorite mode on this game. Championships Grand Arenas just completely ruined that experience - Fix your matchmaking. Period. I lost to another guy withmore than 1m difference on my roster and beat my defense by sheer numbers, pulling 2-5 battles against each of my squads while I had to make sure I won each fight with 1 battle. In the end I hit a wall because he had the luxury of setting up gold teams on each slot whilst I had not. FIX - YOUR - MATCHMAKING
- Compromise: for calculating relevant gp, rather than multiplying defense set by 10, just multiply it by 15. This will help to not punish people who invested heavily in ships and raid characters.
- Hi Team SWGH,
I find the arena a big problem from your planning and development. You put me in the arena with a higher division. I am 4 and my opponents are 3 and my GP is 2,7M an my opponents have 3,7M... seriously? Opponents have 2x more gold (yelow) characters with Zeta! I can give a good defense but no attack. Is it that, i'm a low paying player??? I'm sorry, but you played the game a lot with Revan and C3PO.I love the Star Wars very much, but this is not much about star wars. I'm sorry to stop watching the game and i'm not playing Champion chips anymore. Strategy no longer plays a role in this.
I apologize for this report, I had a need to write it.
I wish you much success.
Alvin CZ.
This isn’t true. The maximum GP you can deploy is your entire roster. They have based matchmaking on the maximum GP you can deploy on your first attempt.
When you give a player a 600k advantage, you give them a massive advantage with teams they can deploy on multiple attacks.
Not only that, accounts with vastly higher GP are older accounts. Meaning they almost always have a lot more zetas and have had a lot longer time to farm mods.
For a company full of supposedly smart people, CG has done a very dumb thing.- I’m convinced the devs don’t play this game. Because if they did, they’d see how broken gac matching is and would at least say SOMETHING about it.
Getting really tired of the lack of communication
