effed up matching - 3 matchups with SAS.

[zwiswoo]

We just got matched against SAS three times running. Three hours fighting SAS over and over again, as a top 75 team. Blast you Gree and your beautiful matching "algorithm." Do all your many code monkeys have their own typewriters or do they bang the keys collaboratively?

Bah.

You should join us Crime city campers are now entering battle for prizes.

We won 9 battles in 1 day .

Stock answers:

You had a crap strategy which put you in an unrealisticly high ranking - deal with your ineptitude

Or else

The senior team are submarining and you are the unlucky mugs - get over it

The senior team are submarining and you are the unlucky mugs - get over it the point isn't quality of the team that they're facing, its repeated matching against the same team. I agree there's something up, we have had the same team 4 times this event, with one of the matchups against them back to back,and two other separate teams 2 times as well. to meet three teams a total of eight times is kind of weird, and nothing I've ever encountered before on an event

[seansheep]

thunder - why aren't you delighted? Same team 4 times means no need to scout - pound their weak ones

[cc thunder]

yeah, it's okay for some of my team,I'm one of the weakest on the crew. level 112 with 550k attack. but when you're getting matched up against top 10 it doesn't help

[3squir3]

then prehaps wait an extra 30-45 mins before you declare battle.

[cc thunder]

then prehaps wait an extra 30-45 mins before you declare battle.yeah, we've let out some slack, up to 30 min, we usually run 15, but its not the quality of teams, it seems gree has improved their bracketing it the repeated same teams

[bravo 6 vk]

we are a top 50 team and getting matched up with OGK.....twice........:rolleyes:

It's tough, but really after the second time you should have delayed declaring again for a few minutes to avoid them.

We did actually, for exactly that reason. Maybe their match was slow, because we got them again the third time anyway, like within 30 seconds of declaring. After that we basically idled till the SAS score moved up on the leaderboard before declaring again :D

It's a conspiracy against you - reeks of it, call the UN, complain to trading standards, write to your MP/senator

There are many people reporting this exact problem. I was thinking bug in the code somewhere, causing matches not to clear after the battle in some circumstances. So the same pairing can happen multiple times. With Gree never attribute to malice what won't make them money and is easily explained by sheer stupidity.

Also, sod off. You're not even good at trolling.

[seansheep]

If it's happening to everyone else, doesn't that make it a level playing field with your imagined exact same problem? If you want to report a perceived error with match-ups isn't the report button the way to do it instead of whingeing?

I have the solution - let's extend the war by 8 hours and consider extending the tiers.............

[zwiswoo]

No. Some teams end up getting matched with the same 500 ranked team repeatedly. Others with a team ranked 150, still others with top 25 or top 10. We got SAS over and over again. There may be some few teams somewhere that kept on getting bashed by Fight Club, who're screwed even worse. This is a "level" field only in the sense that everyone has an equal chance at the outset of getting shafted. It's not level in the sense that the event is actually fair. In *your* sense of level it would also be fair to have some bug that made 10 teams chosen at random unable to hit the wall at all.

That's gotta suck.

Walking the walk and talking the talk.

Welcome to the Molly Maguire hitlist.

I feel whole now.

[CCKallDAY]

Walking the walk and talking the talk.So that means I'm allowed to be a leech in your syndicate?

[Molly's Voice]

You just want the ransom money you cheap CC whore ;)

Our stats should not be of anyone's concern. What we don't have in stats we make up for in guile.

[kingofwale]

Gree.. can you please explain why a 1.8 million IP team is facing a 18 million IP team 3 times in a row??

Are you telling me for that 3 hours, there's no more "more suitable" matchup for either team???

[RonSwanson]

i agree on poor matchups. though we havent faced SAS once let alone three times... were a 150-300 syndicate and have faced Nu world order twice today, killerall, dingbats and one other i cant remember but all teams in top 100 almost top 50. WTF!!!! we cant come close to competiting with them and we have fallen from 150ish to 200ish because we cant get any points off these fricken teams. Why do we have to face teams 100 spots above us every single match.... cant just a few be 100 spots below us? its killed our chance of being 150 even if we probably wouldnt have made it we woulda had a chance if we faced teams more on our level but i digress even if this is total garbage.

[KingOW]

Yey, it took us 2 days to get 3 fights in a row, lol. Before this event we could win 8-10 in a row without any problem so something have changed. Now we just got lucky with our teams. This event is a big mood killer for me, its not fun to loose even tho we get pretty high points (high for our synd anyway, maybe not to you guys).

[custos]

Well Duh! Why didn't that occur to you sooner? Anyone in the top 50 who doesn't check the leaderboard for movement before declaring deserves to get hammered. And all this complaining about matching with SAS or Fight Club or whatever -- who do people expect then to match with? Each other for three days?

Do the math... at any one time there is probably only 5% of syndicates declared and waiting for a "match". If SAS are in that position they will match with the first available team at a high enough level, which could be down to 75 or further. Otherwise what happens? Do they just sit there unmatched for 20 minutes waiting for another top team team to become available? Is that fair? How would you program the matching?
