TW Issues 3/4/18 {Merged}

There exists a legitimate but dirty strategy wherein a guild of high GP, consisting of many powerhouses and few ticket farming alts, will sign up for tw with only the powerhouses and thus the more controllable population of players can run roughshod over the opponent. I was in a tw where the guild had 20 mgp more than my guild and we were brutalized. There are wars however where you are met with evenly matched guilds that can use superior strategy than you, such as using walls of jtr, cls, or ns upfront which results in multiple attacks exhausting enemy resources.

War is war, and any strategy used to win will be used.

There do seem to be some mis matches, and there doesn't seem to be any correlation to guild size. I would imaging smaller guilds are harder to match, but there are many factors to matching as Kozi has stated.

On the guild size note, yes i'm sure the idea of setting guild size at 50 was to promote a guild of that size for various reasons.

I enjoy territory War for what it is...a chance to roll out squad comps you’d never dream of playing in arena. It also gives my personal thoughts on theory crafting an opportunity to be tested out.

Reward differential isn’t enough to get worked up over really, so I just have fun participating.

I find it a little dull and repetitive, made more so by losing teams when either the game or internet glitches for a second.

^ this. We have been told small snippets of what DOESN'T effect matching but the have never been given a breakdown of the algorithm(s) actually being used. Not sure why the devs feel it necessary to keep it hidden unless there is something nefarious going on.....

Just my 2 cents

Personally I hate TW. It’s boring, frustrating and I really can’t be bothered to participate any more. There’s no motivation when my 89 GP guild keeps coming up against guilds twice as powerful. Where is the fun? EA need to scrap this farce

There aren't any 178 GP guilds

TW is my, and many other players, favorite activity in game

Not sure if it's an intentional development thing, but I do know their algorithm for matchmaking guilds to compete needs a lot of work. We just not got paired up with a guild that is 74M GP. Ours is 48M. Doesn't make sense.

Their system is totally broken, it doesn't work at all. There's nothing fun going up again insurmountable odds.

Happens to us all the time, it really is really bad

Not all of their guild participates? Our guild has 102,000,000 GP, but only 38/50 signed up this time. Therefore the gap is much closer than the base GP.

There's a huge participation problem going on in TW, and the rework is only going to make it worse. I don't know why people would pass up the free zeta for posting 4 to 5 defensive squads.
