World War Matchmaking Changes

[TinSoldier]

We are looking into issues with the new matchmaking update.

I'm sorry the details for this update had been so scant. The Team is working to investigate and fix this now. If there is not a fix shortly, we will match more Alliances manually. As soon as I have more on these options, I will be sure to post it here.

Hi

we are still finding the matches very challenging even after the new method you just tried. In fact, most times we get matched against much higher levels. We've tried starting at different times, 15x15, 20x20, all sorts of things.
We don't expect of course to win every time, some you win some you loose, but we seem to be, more often then not, in situations where it is clear from the start that there is no hope due to the much higher levels of the other side.
Understand you're working on it and probably not so easy to get right every time so just wanted to provide feedback that there's still a bit to do! Love the game and thanks!

'Our Home' requesting manual match-up pls.

 

[TinSoldier]

We have re-deployed the World War changes!

We observed a number of Alliances that were stuck waiting have since found matches. If you are still unable to find a match, please let us know.
Thank you again for your patience as we work to improve matchmaking.

New matchmaking still stinks. We are matched up with an alliance with 17 atomics to our 3. Zero chance to win, and yes they are sandbaggers. 8 fake bases. I thought this was being addressed? Nothing about this new matchmaking has improved anything.

I'm new keep on discovering

I feel that there is a gap in matching.
Now in emergency maintenance Japan player I can not log in.

I want to request the release side to have an educational mind. Now you can accumulate a lot of data and run the AI full.

 

[Max_imus]

What gap do you think?
Can I ask for your alliance, we had some good matches with japanese alliances

We find matches but they are so far ahead of us we have no chance! Currently we are matched with Christs Army - 7 of their people are multiple levels & a couple of ages ahead of our #1 guy! The rest are just junk accounts with no development. Their top 7 will roll over all 15 of us & we have 0 chance. Sandbagging cheaters take the fun out of the battle - simply a waste of resources to play....

We got a match quickly enough but it was wildly imbalanced. They have three well-developed atomics, we have no atomics. They have 2 well-developed globals, we have two recently-advanced globals. They have 11 industrials, we have 8. They have 2 enlightenment, we have 10. They have 5 gunpowder, we have 3. They have 2 medieval, we have 1. Neither side is sandbagging. The match is simply unreasonable. I am playing in the #1 spot (I am industrial). The system recommended that I attack their #4 (an atomic). The system suggested that our #2 attack their #8. Obviously the AI recognizes how badly matched we are. Why are matches like this being made?

 

[Rickmsrn]

We feel your pain. Our war matchup today is ridiculous as well. They have 20 atomic stories our 13. And they are sandbagging the bottom 8. And we stand to lose 300 glory to 77 for a win. It's just crazy

 

[Doc__is_my_username]

To mitigate sandbagging, I suggest considering two alternatives. (a) count ALL attacks into a grand total or (b) count only the best attacks, but subject to an adjustment so that no individual attacker can receive more than 7.5 total points. So, suppose player 10 attacks enemy 10 (5 points) and enemy 15 (5 points) while player 15 attacks enemy 15 (4 points). The game gives 9 points here, counting player 15's attack rather than awarding 2.5 points to player 10.

Glory is flipped we are againsts Russian wolves they have 23 players higher than our top we win 77 and lose 386 since there is no way in the world to win we lose 400 glory when we should only have lost 77 I deleted the game just posting one more time for a game I used to love and spend thousands of dollars on , a complete waste now . I was buying fun now I feel rage and malice to this game

 

[jervries]

Well the first war in this condetion is verry funny. A gunpowder on place 5 above enlightnemen and indust and atomic....loot to get 35.000. So I think there is some bugs in it.

 

[Skaald]

Matchmaking and the new glory ratio are absolutely ridiculous.... we are facing a stronger opponent, higher levels overall, better developed. Fine, that can happen. Just that is happens way too often. They have 17.900 glory, we have have 18.700. So I would say, almost equal. Glory for us winning: 22, glory for us loosing: -480!!! Wtf? How is this supposed to be fair or balanced??? Puts me off the game, puts lots of my alliances members off the game. It sucks, sandbagging was better, at least we didn't loose that much glory and we were able to win it back. Now it takes 40 wars like this to win it back.... What a absolute mess you made of this game....

Anyway, we are not bothering with war anymore after this one, unless stuff gets fixed or rolled back. And if we don't bother with war, there is no reason to play daily, no pressure to get coalitions etc. You are doing a great job in loosing player interest.

No Title

I don't think it is quite right to fight against an alliance with GA and IA most members compared to us which are gunpowder mostly. There average is around 130-140 and we are around 100. Apart from this losing 622 glory and gaining only 9 is totally wrong. How we suppose to grow on leaderboard. Hoping some action going to be taken against such a mismatching n wrong glory distribution.

 

[Mayank21@]

I can understand ur condition totally. But atleast u got globals we got 1IA n 1EA against 3global,5 industrial and 2 EA. Losing 622 glory too. Hope they change something soon.

As far as I can tell, the glory won/lost is based solely on the glory of your alliance relative to your opponents, not the relative strengths of the participants. So if you face an alliance with less glory, you will lose more than you gain even if their average rank is significantly higher than yours. We recently lost 645 glory in a war we had no chance of winning, and we rarely get more than 150 for a win.

That seems to be changed. We(21743 glory) are in a war now with an alliance lower than us (18997 glory), but slightly stronger HP wise. We stand to gain 118 glory and lose 44.
