TW needs to be URGENTLY reworked!!!

The matchmaking is absolutely awful. Dividing it up only to a max of 380M GP is totally outdated. You almost never get a balanced match, which means tons of players just don’t bother and lose all interest in TW.

Guild GP should play a HUGE role in matchmaking, along with activity levels. A 650M GP guild should NEVER have to fight a 500M GP guild, even if they’re short on signups. There needs to be a system where if you’re 5 players short, you automatically drop a reward tier; 10 short, drop another one. (Maybe tweak the thresholds, but this needs to be factored in.)

Right now, TW is just not sustainable for a lot of guilds. Crappy matchmaking kills the hype, so fewer people sign up or they join with super low activity. Please fix this ASAP!

  • No idea if they pay attention to what happens when you do Report Guild - but one of the options there is Matchmaking. Maybe one of these days they will pay attention.

    Report a guild for what...min-maxing?  You know the old argument to that "don't hate the player hate the game".

    Probably, the answer is just stick TW on a ladder.  You can't min-max a ladder.

    If Matchmaking is an option I don't consider it reporting the guild, but the game.  No idea what CG actually does with the reports.

  • I don't know how many posts are about this topic are out there already and CG simply doesn't care. Rewards are absolutely ridiculous for a +500gp guild. 

  • The root problem is the rewards have not kept up with the game's growth so many don't think the reward is worth the time and effort. Droid brains are craftable now so the only reward is the DC re-roll mats but not that DCs are expiring so fast, it;s not worth the effort to re-roll a L9 if its just going to expire in two weeks. The other mats might be good for new and mid-life players but if you have been here for 8+ years, you don't need that stuff.

  • I say this in Discord and posted about it last week or 2 ago too. The GP thresholds are outdated and need to go as high as 700 mil as a minimum,  maybe even 730ish million.

     

    Then, activity isnt a measure id use. It isnt reliable with members leaving, kicked, joining. Id use guild join percentages. So, a 45/45 join is 100% and a 38/50 is a 76% join rate. Match those guilds within the GP thresholds.

     

    Then, if they really want, total GLs or total members as a last measure to help matchmaking. But I wouldn't add this personally.

     

    Finally, nice to haves:

    1. allow the fleet nodes to be moved to anywhere except the first row of the map (otherwise, thats where everyone would place them). Maybe even allow mixed zones where the max amounts that can be set is still based on overall zone size, but ground or fleet doesnt matter.
    2. Jakku sucks. Give me Geonosis (Clone Wars start), Forest Moon of Endor (Empirexs fall), Scarif (Rebellion's first major win), or Aldaraan (Satele vs Malgus fight).... maybe even Crait (Kylo hacking at force projection Luke).
    3. Allow ALL Omicrons. Its a Guild war. Full roster vs full roster. Minus raid and Galactic Challenge Omis (raid specific wouldnt help much and GCs need to be refunded hopefully soon).

    My 2 cents
