New TW matchmaking

We dont really have a post about how it works now. This is intentionally done so players dont have enough information to work the system. (Not that they wont try to figure out what works best for them)

Not sure where you got this idea from. All the announcement says is they've made changes. I think that's all we're going to get for information.

Have 5-10 guys sit out of war, your opponent total gp will less than your active gp

The battle exploit, the fog of war exploit, etc.

* Battle exploit = allows player to alter the values of any character, allowing even a 1 star toon to one-hit kill an entire squad

* Fog of war exploit = allows player to see all of the defenses on all of the sections (even the ones still 'locked')

Then there's "not exploits, but not playing nice" things

* Having 100-150m GP guilds, intentionally down register to qualify for < 50m GP fights (sandbag), so even with 1-2 Traya and Revan and other uber (end-game) teams on the defense, it prevents the 40m GP team from even getting through the first section essentially guaranteeing them a win.
* In this currently matchup, my 44m GP team (qualified with 40m TW) is fighting a 115m GP team with dozens of Trayas and Revans, and we don't have a single Traya or Revan in our entire guild

I'm assuming that was the whole point of the megathead about TW, the long awaited "improvement" to the matchmaking system. If you don't believe there's an exploit currently, you must not have looked at that thread.

I didn't say anything about believing or not believing there was an exploit. Neither did the in game announcement. And that's the point. There are a bunch of things they could have done to improve the matchmaking that have nothing to do with the alleged exploit.

But if silence is intentional, well, i get it

Not an exploit but They have some guilds regist only 48/50 to match with 10M lower gp guild. You know the current system is not perfect.

This is not true, we regularly have 46-50 players and see even matches almost all the time and even the not so even ones, are still close.

That’s true. You can talk about your guild, but we have faced guilds who are doing this.
They told us.

Yes, this is true. I play 3 account. one on a guild with 186m GP, one on 176m GP last on is on 113m GP
All are the same. Once we have 48/50 then easy game with a lower 10m GP guild. And every time we have 50/50 that is brutal. facing higher 10m GP.

Hope new system can fix this.

If they are really trying to fix "Sandbagging" what they should do is average a guild's gp over a month's time and lump the guilds into brackets that are +/- 2M from each other

Your “battle exploit” is hacking and has nothing to do with TW matchmaking. Also I have never heard of either the fog of war thing or this battle exploit.

Anecdotally, I’m in a 180m GP guild and any time someone has sat due to being on vacation or forgetting to register... we get matched up with a similar GP guild with a couple people missing as well.
