What's with guild rivalry matching...

The matching is not balanced or fair... 4 guilds are around the same infamy 30k-40k, but than two are just insanely un fair with 1k and 4k...

Let me guess... these are guilds with inactive players... let me know in the comments section below please xD

 

And that's why it's broken

 

Idc what other people asked for, cuz i know I'm Not one of them. Imo matchmaking based on ship mk and infamy is alot better than only infamy. But let's be honest bout the guild rivalry matchmaking system here. There are some ways to make it better, but they clearly don't wanna implement them

 

Infamy based matching was an absolute disaster for top f2p guilds.
We were a totally f2p guild in the top 10, so we got top whale guilds as rivals every week and we couldn't even complete half as many quests as they could with all vip and limitless superboosts.

"What could possibly be a better measure of a guild's questing ability than the number of quests a guild can complete?" - Kitterini or at least close enough

 

The system as it is now is fine, just don't push for 1st every week. Save boosts and chill for a week or 2, then when the matching looks good, push as hard as you can together.

 

Obviously it's not the best system...

But, if you're doing 48-60+ quests per week, the end rewards aren't really that big of a deal ..

As in, it's better to just do the best you can each week .. You'll earn more tokens than taking weeks off ..

 

But I think I never said infamy based matchmaking was better

 

Yeah because of the faulty system we need to chill for weeks and sacrifice tokens in hope for a fine matchmaking. That alone explains how much of a balanced matchmaking it is

 

Like Captain level along with Gearscore based matchmaking - Guild matchmaking based on captain levels and gearscore of the players of all the 5 guilds. The highest amount of Gearscore each player can pull off in a boat(Or maybe the amount of Gearscore each player carries most of the time) will only count in the matchmaking. That way there won't be any loophole to manipulate the matchmaking system. Captain level(after infamy) tells alot bout one's experience and strength. And Gearscore tells bout power(strength). So only the most active guild will have the most chances to win.

I understand my idea might not lead to a perfect matchmaking, but still it should be alot better than infamy OR Number of Quest completed based matchmaking which is utter bs and disappointing.

Yeah some of the people would say that this current matchmaking is fine cuz their guild is not much competitive in terms of questing. But I, as a leader of a questing guild find it painful to watch us ending up in 3rd-5th place most of the time even after putting nearly the same amount of effort the winners do. Maybe the grand rewards are not big of a deal when you complete over 50 quests but trophies do matter for me as well. Just like most of you guys like winning the 1st-3rd place in season infamy i like to win 1st-3rd in guild rivalries. Working their arses off and still ending up on bottom places and as a result getting no trophies or tokens is just disheartening and encourages the players to look for a different guild

 

There are numerous 8+ month old threads with the same complaints. People have long been mad that new guilds get 42k coins while they work so hard to get 3rd or 4th place.

I've suggested brackets ... or leagues - with each league awarding more and more tokens - 1st place moves up, 6th place goes down - with your league listed on your guild profile.

But at the end of the day, tokens are largely worthless (for the amount of effort required), so players want to see the devs use their limited time to fix other larger issues.

It sucks, I know .. but you'll have to learn to live with it.

 

Nuu just save the boosts from a couple rivalries and use them to push together in the next one. You can keep playing and get a lot of quests done!

 

The top f2p guilds that only complete 48 quests per week ? Ok then I would put them in a "lazy chill guild" category which doesn't care bout rivalries and deserve to win. Those F2P guilds won't be matched up with the "HEAVY" P2W guilds unless they have similar captain level of players and amount of Gearscore. And what do you understand by similar gearscore ? Similar questing power right ? So then it's completely a fair competition, the one who works harder will win. Lol how is that terrible ?

Under current system, the lazy top F2P guilds that complete 48 quests are getting matched up with hard working lower ranked F2P guilds that hardly reaches upto 48-50 quests. Explain how is that fair ? Cuz the lazy top f2p guild clearly have more questing power and chances to win. They would easily complete 50-52 quests and win the rivalry. So better rewards for people that works less ? Hmm

In my suggested system, winning depends on guild activity. Ofcourse the p2w guilds will still have the advantage of Guildboosts because they pay, and we can do nothing bout it. People needs to be disciplined in order to achieve a goal. If they don't have any goals and decide to be lazy then they deserve the consequences, it shouldn't be a surprise. If you want success then you will definitely need to be willing to make the necessary sacrifices, not sure why is that so hard to understand

 

Okay

 

Wish it was that nice and accurate bud. Over 70% of the time I end up facing guilds that usually completes like 9+ more quests than us, we are currently a #105 ranked guild and we always ends up being matched with top #15 ranked guilds, ok probably you won't be seeing much difference between #105 and #15 rank but same was happening when we were above #200 ranked, but we still do put up a good fight, because we work hard and try to stay disciplined yet we dont get the deserving result. Our highest number of quests completed is 70(only for once), we dont try to push over 70 anymore in the fear of matchmaking. We nowadays complete upto 65 quests and not much loooking forward to go higher. But honestly matchmaking can't be worse anymore we end up meeting guilds like silencio, dream team etc anyway because these guilds chill and complete low amount of quests from time to time, but their 'low' is like the 'highest' for us. I'm not even exaggerating

Then you should've mentioned 'without buying boosts' before. If a guild doesn't buy boosts then it means they have zero concern for questing and rivalry position. And why F2p guilds can't spend pearls on boosts ? I'm a total f2p player, and I always manage to buy 1 super boost every week without much difficulty tbh, because i dont spend my pearls on unnecessary things. And I don't think it's like everyone in an F2P guild is like "never spent a penny on this game" type player, there are few little spenders in F2P guilds too.
