    Lol you’ve noticed no issues, but there’s a thread dedicated to it. How about this:

    Date of TW: 9/23/2018
    Your Guild’s GP: 131,576,676
    Opposing team’s GP: 160,313,442
    # of my guild members who joined: 50/50
    # of opposing guild members who joined: 50/50

    So about a 17 million GP mismatch for us on the TW that opened offense today. We had 50/50 participation and 24 defensive slots per territory, so max 47/50 on their side. Seems like matchmaking places too much emphasis on participation? It's very frustrating trying to play in this game mode when we're this overmatched. I agree with earlier statements about improved transparency in the matchmaking process so we can more easily know the difference between a somewhat difficult TW matchup and an issue worth reporting.

  • Soooo 3 hours into today's TW and here are the results of the 30 million gp gap...

  • My bad, it took them 4 hours with their 30 million extra gp. Every 1 million gp = 10 fully developed teams. In this case they had 300 more fully developed teams then us.

    Strange
  • We only won 1 TW in 4 months. We have 124 mill. gp. In the 4 months we never got a weaker opponent, nowdays we face full traya walls. We cant even do heroic sith, we need the JTR event to do it. After next JTR we will have 42 JTR teams. No we have only 25.
  • Todays TW.

    Posted 20 Sep in TW as “25+ Traya V none”
    They had 36 Traya in defence including 5x G12, we had NONE at all, not to mention the strength of the squads needed to get so many Traya characters.
    They cleared toons in about 13h 20m, ships took 14h+. We did not win Hangar or Supply Depot

  • There are lots of people saying it’s “unknowable” how many of the opposing guild signed up for TW.

    It is (almost) knowable every time.

    Whichever guild has fewest members, the TW rules divide that number by 2 (or add 1 then divide 2, if it was an odd number that signed up) to give the number of squads per zone.

    So @GreatObisRaven you had 35 sign up. That would mean 18 squads per zone. If it was LESS than that, you can work out how many of them signed up. If it was 18, you know at least 35 of them signed up.

    @Rag_Scrag 23 squads means they had either 45 or 46 sign up. Mind you, the traya imbalance is critical in TW, that’s for sure.

    @Sarith2017 for 21 squads they only had 41 or 42 sign up. But again, the traya imbalance makes it an impossible mission.

    Our guild has just fought a TW with 46 signing up, all with Traya. Enemy had 20 Traya. We’ve cleared entire top of the map and have 4 teams left to clear in 2b. They have not been able to clear either of our traya zones in 2a, 2b.

    Territory War: 9/21-9/24
    My Guild - https://swgoh.gg/g/3263/the-republic/
    My guild GP - 139M
    Guild members registered - 50

    Opposing Guild - https://swgoh.gg/g/3806/rebel-force-mustafar/
    Opposing Guild GP - 143M
    Opposing guild members registered - 49 or 50

    Seems like a pretty fair matchup, except for:
    They have 400 more g11+ characters than we do (1,725 vs 2,135)
    They have 150 more zetas than we do (1,060 vs 1,195)
    They have 35 more Trayas than we do (5 vs 40)

    Most of our recent matchups have been fair. This one wasn't even close, and wasn't fun at all.

    Edit - Sorry for the formatting. It looks good in the "composition", but apparently spaces and double spaces all go out the window when it posts.

    I guess this anecdote discounts the possibility that the matchmaker takes win-loss record into account. It's a sad state of affairs.

    I sympathize with the devs, though. Guild pairing is a complex, N-dimensional problem. It requires a sophisticated solver to produce matchups that seem "fair." This should have been in development since before beta testing was completed.

    The problem just gets harder to solve when new meta-defining characters are introduced, unless you have a very smart, easily adjusted, adaptive algorithm. Even then, tuning the system would be a daunting task, and keeping it tuned for all the marquees would feel almost futile.

    September 10 TW...
    Our oppenent:
    d206y0hesca7.png

    At that time, our active gp was around 89mil and 48 joined.
    Have no idea how many joined from the opposing guild.

    September 18 TW
    Our opponent:
    p2rpgoh54z9d.jpg

    Our active gp was around 90mil and 48 joined.
    Again, have no idea how many from the opposing guild joined.

    This last TW, we were evenly matched for a change.

    I make character kits! Ask me and I will try my best to make one for fun.
  • To me, a reasonable fix would be: Matchmaking is based only off of total guild GP NOT active gp. The swing should not be more than 5-10 million. If members fail to register for the war, they will just have to make do and could fall short.
