Alright, so there still seems to be a small amount of confusion within our guild regarding the items in the title of this discussion. We've all be thinking what we've been thinking was correct, only to find out that we all did not share the same understanding of what was what. Now knowing every possible equation to what goes into the matchmaking would be cool to learn, it is not what I'm asking for. I've listed the questions/items below with my understanding of item following that. Hopefully, CG_Kozispoon or another CG could clear up these annoying questions/items.
1) Matchmaking - Is it 1st limited to the GP of active members taking part in the TW currently underway?
2) What other factors go into this? (IE; # of zetas, CS, active members GP average not just the total GP)
3) Is it possible for 2 guilds competing with each other to be playing for a different tier/tier reward? (IE; If my active GP is between 80.0 - 89.9 would I ever be playing against 90.0 - 99.9)
There are definitely more things I can get into regarding this, but I'm hopeful that the answers provided will inadvertently answer those additional questions before asking. For the record, here are my short answers/understanding for the questions I've listed above.
1) Yes, active total GP is looked at first placing you within a set tier for rewards and then matched with someone else within that same tier using additional factors.
2) My "IE" examples are to name a few. # of zetas assigned within the active members, CS, participating members GP average, total number of guild wins/loses, possibly more
3) No, see answer to the 1st question

2) we don't know, now should they tell us IMHO. That will just lead to guilds trying to game the system
3)I believe so.
Although I will add we have been at the "bottom" end of the section. As in 30 mil gp in the 30-35 section which I think attributes to it.
That's really it.
That question has already been answered. Per Kozi, rewards brackets and just for rewards, and matchmaking need not be within brackets.
Example:
50m bracket - 1st place - 1 zeta VS 60m bracket - 2nd place - 1 zeta
110m bracket - 1st place 2 zeta VS 120m bracket - 2nd place - 2 zeta
Because, lets be honest here. The bragging rights are really nice to have, but most of us are really in it for the zeta mats and misc rewards.
The developers should really just amend/post in the "how to" information regarding Territory Wars with how the match making works and be done with it instead of having to ask so many questions for partial answers...and not always from the source but from players like myself.
I find it about as likely that they will tell us the full matchmaking mechanics as that they will tell us the drop rates on everything in the game.
When money comes into play, it is a requirement to be told the drop rates. Just like the lottery.
No where did I request the full mechanics as that could open them up to someone manipulating the mechanics. Just want to know is this the case by a developer or moderator not random players like myself. I can read 100,000 posts in other threads that have 99.99% of he said/she said.
All cash packs have set rewards with no rng. I am referring to drop rates within the game (nodes, credit heist, etc.).
ah. sorry for the misunderstanding.
that's where they (any game not just this one) get around that. you can buy currency with a guaranteed amount for a set amount of cash but how you spend it on drop rates they don't tell you is your own business.
this aren't the questions i seek answers for
I just want the answers to the questions I have in the initial post answered by someone near and dear to the source (EA) and that's that.
I’m sure you do. The point of my post was that I think it’s highly unlikely you will get the answers you seek.
