    For a second let's pause that try to figure out if that's the case. If the mm is not comparing ships, he's fully justified to make a matter of this and it's a developer problem.

    If it's a fact, show us your evidence. I also think this is the case, but it's hard to make sure.

    This is incorrect. Matchmaking does and for a while has had some element of ships counting towards the MM.

    The conversation about this was before Doja started, I will see if they can make a statement about this.
  • Ship likely is in the matchmaking, just not sure how is done. None of my GAC opponents have the same ground GP as me, whether you count all GP, top 80, top 65, or top whatever. I don’t know what exactly their formula is, I guess no one does.

    It has been shown to be very close on the top 80, I have yet to see a match shown that didnt have a very close top 80.

    Same in my experience. Then if it also looks like that you, how are you sure ships factor in somewhat?

    Because I was told, after a dev checked the code. (He wasnt 100% sure when we questioned it.)

    Cool then, rest of us also need to know how it works just like we are at least sure top 80 gets used on squad only template (with 8 slots).

    As I said, I will ask. We didn't get any more than, yes ships are a part of it. It's not like I know how its works any more than others here.

    Ok, that's what I'm saying as well. We all need to know as we make decisions based on it just like the rest of the equation.

    unfortunately we couldn't get details right now and I dont know if they will give the exact numbers right now. but it wont' take long for the community to figure it out.

    @MaruMaru

    I hope, then, that they’re at least balancing the GP for matchmaking because it’s not exactly balanced with the numbers we see. Each ship seems to have its own unique max GP which is only semi related to investments and not at all related to how good the ship actually is.

    They should not be giving any character or ship a weighted value based on how good the ship is.

    each upgrade has a value when its applied. so each toon/ships GP is representative of the investment of materials placed on them.

    That's the strategic aspect of the game: use your resources wisely. It's difficult to pair it with the collectible aspect of the game, where you can gear and use the characters you like, no argument there.

    @MaruMaru

    Hmmm we already thought ships need to/should count towards mm, yet noone was able to determine how it works this many months since first ship gac started. Noone even managed to prove they do in fact count either. Unless we are told how it does, not much changed. When we know how mm works for squads (at least how many is counted besides possible secret parameters as announced in the initial mm post), this part which is substantially important should also be revealed imo.

    They won't say. They don't say how many characters are counted for matchmaking, we've just sort of figured out that it's double the number put on defense. That said, people will figure out how many ships are counted in the same way.

    My guess? Double the number of capital ships put on defense and 14 ships per defense capital ship. That miht be an overestimation since you don't need 7 ships to attack most of the time, but it's better and safer to overestimate than under.

    So is your guess top 70+what you said and mm is made on that total number?

    its a reasonable guess, and it may not seem like it when people work out the numbers, but thats probably due to the lower number of ships used and the higher variance in ship max GP. I imagine they use some average value as "1 ship" and multiply by the number they use. less likely but they could have made an "ideal lineup" and use that as the number too.

    either way we will get close, and there is no need for us to know the recipe to the secret sauce. it doesn't change the the method to our madness.... develop the most effective units you can use at the lowest number of invested pieces. how much you maximize that principle is driven by how much you want GAC to be your jam.
