Well done on breaking the last fun thing in this game. Massive GP differences across the board (25 mil + when highest GP guild is at 50/50 participation).Also, nicely done on increasing the Defensive squad requirements... was this not supposed to be for 160 mil + GP guilds only?Hope you cancel and fix this mess asap...

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

64mil vs 78mil here.
They have kenobis, we dont (we started clearing haat about 2 months ago).

Well, guess they have the high ground then

They need to scrap how they currently 'match' and structure this part of the game in a similar way to arena... ie a ranked system/league table where you get paired against guilds that are actually next to you in terms of achievement.

On a good run, challenge gets harder.
Keep loosing, drop and eventually gets easier to beat.

I think what some people fail to see and understand is that when it comes to programming and coding a large game such as this there are always bound to be little bugs here and there which can affect the game in a somewhat substantial way. I only know this because I have dabbled a bit in programming and coding and from personal experiences I know that no matter how many times you test something a bug will always get through. Of course I do see it important to make our voices heard when we experience these things but to say the devs have made huge mistakes in making this decision and saying how outraged they are at the situation is wrong. They will have done all that they can to make sure the game is enjoyable for everyone.

I appreciate that bugs will happen, however I would expect testing to be much more robust. A simple test to check that any guild not in the top active tier only had to deploy a maximum of 25 teams. Am I over simplifying?

What we expect and what really happens are two completely different kettles of fish. There are many possible outcomes that could have came from doing this update and I think (and this is my own personal opinion) that is not possible to know, and therefore to test, each outcome.

Our 95M guild with 48/50 is facing a 110M GP guild woth 29 defense squads per territory. Clearly something is now broken, right? Has to be!

To clarify wait til Monday so they can re word update notes which is way easier than expecting quality programming.

The problem with imbalanced matchmaking from my experience is the Krakens. Their strength exists a lot in mods, and not just in their GP, which is the only thing that is measured. Every time my guild loses a TW it is cause the ones we face have 2 or 3 Krakens with 3.5million + GP that just have really strong teams due to mods, and my guild has zero Krakens. Against every other team we beat or have a really close matchup. The Krakens ruin it.
