I feel absolutely terrible for the guild we are facing. We are about to complete all territories and they cant even break through our fist row :( Unless they are trying to snake a tie or something which I highly doubt based on their defence.... Can't believe how broken this is

That's why TWs are absolute poopoo and make no sense. You either leave half of your guild out of rewards (and even the weakest ones) or get humiliated by someone else doing this. It's like the prisoner's dilemma: you'll get a fair battle only with another guild which participates with all its members, but you cannot know that before the battle begins. Sometimes I wonder if they have half-trained baboons inventing this sort of things.

I should be grateful bcause we never taste defeat. They don't make dent in our frontline. We don't even put our strong defence in the front. Oh also we are mopping clear in our 10 victories.This is so lame.. i feel bad for our enemies :frowning: that is exactly how ours ended. Our last 4 no have been that way.

The silly part is the fix would be relatively simple - just make sure that opposing guilds (apart from all the other algorithms) are within "X" number of active players of each other. That way, you don't end up with disproportionately strong guilds with fewer players facing a large number of under-powered players. It seems odd that they didn't take that into account - especially when they made such a big deal about G12 was so much stronger than any other gear level. Something in this game wasn't sufficiently tested before being rolled out??? Color me shocked................or not.

It's not the number of players, or even raw GP, that is an accurate metric; it need to account for things like number of zeta'd toons, gear 12 toons, etc. Few players with better rosters can field more/better teams than more players with weaker rosters.totally agree about the number of G12 players and zetas. wonder how hard that would be though to create an algorithmWould be very hard i figure.. remember the time they need to fix daily ticket counter? U just have one job.. one job :dizzy:

Maybe they’re in a different time zone and haven’t really attacked yet.

Do you have less than 30 players signed up, or several disproportionately high GP players?

And this is why... It matches you based on GP of registered players, not guild GP... Which means if you have 28 and they have 45, they will have an average GP about 60% of yours...

It's not really fair but it's the way it works... There is very little chance that a bunch of 900k will get past a 1.6m, just from the difference in number of g12 and Zetas.

And if you always have 28, then you will always have an advantage over guilds with real participation...

We got wrecked this time. Im guessing the biggest factor is number of people that sign up - it has to be this way as that is how it calculates number of defensive platoons you can deploy (its albout half of sign ups 17/34 for us this time). So if 34 of their whales sign up and 34 of your f2p players sign up there is a chance you will be matched against them. I think every other stat is secondary to that.

Our current match they had at least 6 full gold teams in their first 3 zones and a number g11 teams and we dont have a single player in our whole guild that has 5 g12 chatacters. Im betting we dont even have anyone with 5 g11 characters. We got stopped by a 100k JTR team that literally no one can even dent on one side and 4 g12 teams on the other.

We have won our last 4 matches but they were literally decided by one team or one zone and we were down to the wire on 2 of them. They cleared our map this time and we only finished 2 zones.
