TW Gross Mismatch

@EA_HighCommand, thank you for your response! Like I said, I don’t want to be a pain in the a**, but I respectfully disagree. It may have chosen the match correctly per the algorithm. However, I don’t think number of participants is a relevant metric in this case. It is still strongly balanced in their favor. I don’t know how much you can see on your end, but their front zones on D were a wall of 100k+ squads and the other was a wall of 90k+ squads. We got through the 90k wall and behind it there was still a lot of 75k+, 80k+, and 90k+ teams. We are close to taking down that zone as we speak, but there is no way we will be able to take down the 100k+ wall. They had all that and were still able to decimate our D to totality. We’re quite coordinated and have been doing very well lately in TW. We were able to take down a guild that was quite a bit stronger than us in the last war. So that was a tough but still fair pairing. In my opinion, the number of participants is irrelevant because of the capability of the participants they do have to field significantly stronger teams than we can, even with a much larger number of participants on our end. 

@GladOS-013, our guild leader did some research. This is what he posted in our discord:

“So I did some investigating. Our tw is really screwed up. We had 45 sign up but 17 spots open to deploy for. We should have had 22 spots. Also, there's no way we could have paired with these guys. Even if there top 5 didn't join, they'd still have over 100 mil gp”

We’re trying to find out if anyone wasn’t able to deploy or participate in combat right now. 

Thank you for the additional details and the effort your guild is making to make the TWs still enjoyable. I can assure you that we are open to any concerns and don't mind another post or comment, if it helps to clarify the situation.

Rest assured that the number of participants, the total GP of the participants, etc. are only two of many criteria for the matchmaking.

@EA_HighCommand, @GladOS-013, I appreciate your comments, thank you!

I already knew that their active gp wasn’t at 52M, but still even if we were dead even their gp is effectively stronger than ours. I wonder if using weighted averages would help the matching process be more even. What I’m thinking is that averaging the gp of active players that fall in to specific ranges (say, for example, 1-1.49M, 1.5-1.99M, 2-2.49M, etc.), and then averaging those results. That could give a more accurate picture of a guild’s effectiveness vs another guild I think. I hope I’m not overstepping... it’s just a thought I had (I’m an engineer. I can’t help myself... lol)

Anyway, I digress. I just wanted to bring the situation to your attention because all of us in the guild love the game and work hard at it to be competitive. Situations like this can be frustrating and disheartening. So if we can contribute to improving the quality of the end product by providing feedback, we’re happy to do so!

Once again, thank you for the reply and the kind words, much appreciated!

The suggestion is most welcome since we are always looking into ways to improve the game and no worries, no overstepping at all.

I know how challenging TW sometimes can be and what a well-organized guild is able to achieve (guild leader myself), so any report is welcome and worth checking.
