TW Tie Breaker?

There isn’t one. Both guilds get 2nd place rewards if they tie.

Seriously, they never added a tie breaker?! I mean, it is much less likely to happen with the scoring changes they added, but to give both teams lower rewards when it does happen is ridiculous. They could at least make you tie for 1st instead of tie for 2nd. Shame.

(Thanks for the response, though!)

tie for second prevents coordinating a tie to both get 1st place rewards

Also the reward difference is super minor.

Coordinating up to 100 people to do something correctly deserves a special reward in itself

If a tie was first place rewards both guilds could just fill defenses and then do nothing on offense. Boom, first place rewards for everyone.

or just do nothing. set defense and move on.

i agree though if you have 2 full clears and a tie, that should involve a portrait or title.

Of course you have the right, and we have the right to provide counterarguments. That's how forums work.

I'm always surprised how many people here expect full agreement when they make a thread.

Seriously, they never added a tie breaker?! Tbf, it is much less likely to happen with the scoring changes they added, but to give both teams lower rewards when it does happen is ridiculous. They could at least make you tie for 1st instead of tie for 2nd. Shame.

I understand the reason, but in effect it means both teams in my TW will be punished when we gave our full effort. I'm not sure what's worse:

• having a ridiculous, irrelevant, or arbitrary tie breaker like in GAC, or
  
• having no tie breaker, and giving both teams the lower reward.
  

I could recommend a few relevant tie breakers, but it's probably not something that happens frequently enough for CG to actually fix it. And I'll be the first to assert there are more important problems that should be fixed first. But still, it's a shame (even if a minor one).

What do we need a tie breaker for? How often has a tie happened since the scoring changes?
