Upcoming Matching Changes!
We are making a few modifications based on player feedback that we hope will improve future events and create a better experience for you all.

Guild matching: We are tweaking a few configurations with how guilds are matched. We expect these changes will achieve 2 goals: to create better matches and increase variety of the matches. Before, there were a few particularities with the algorithm that would occasionally result in very strong guilds being paired against very weak guilds, as well as some guilds battling the same rival guild over and over. We hope that our changes will create more fair fights as well as reduce the incidence of repeat matching.

While we can't reveal our "secret sauce" for matching guilds, we can say that this new system will take into account average guild strength, the number of guild members, and the number of event points your guild has earned, as well as a few other factors, and as always, some degree of randomness.

This is a big departure from the previous and I look forward to seeing how this goes. Probably a couple of tweaks required but looking forward to it.

Should be a good step forward after a few bumps.

Thank you very much for posting the information before war.

So in other words more splinter vs splinter

Changes? That's how the matching should be written in the first place!
That is 14 wars of error we been thru.

will be nice to not get so many mini guilds that are super strong. I am a little worried but pretty excited to see the changes. Thank you for the heads up.

We've got things set up to watch how the matchups go from here, and we'll additionally be monitoring forums and tickets for any feedback, so please let us know here how it works out for you.

Thanks CJ. Can I assume these are the same changes that were made in CC?

Thanks CJ. Can I assume these are the same changes that were made in CC?

Similar, yeah. The relative power levels are different in all the games, so they require a bit of tweaking individually.

I for one am curious as to how this all plays out. People who are considering quitting - will most of them get reeled back in or will it be the final straw and they go? If the incredibly disappointing last Raid Boss wasn't the final straw for them already.

We need a popcorn-eating smilie lol.

The 5% Casualty Reduction on the 56 consecs is reeling me back in!!!
