Matching Algorithm

[Awesomness]

We need to adjust matching algorithm for high Glory Alliances. Aftermath and Tea Star are around 36,000 glory. I suspect you have an advancing glory threshold in the matching algorithm such that potential matches must come from similar glory. This probably starts in the first hour with glory that is within 2000 of the alliances and then expands at maybe 1000 glory per hour. At some point (6ish hours I am guessing) the Similar Glory restriction disappears from the algorithm and there is no restriction. Unfortunately AM and Tea are 8000 glory above the #30 ranked alliance. A review of their matches indicates they are MORE likely to match a team outside the top 100 than they are teams between 20&100. This makes no sense at all. We have actively tried to match teams in the 50ish range but it is almost impossible as they always match someone else by the time the algorithm expands far enough for us to meet their current glory. And then we are stuck with a rank 200 team. Please consider a fix for this.

Oh if only there was a Glory restriction on what alliance you go up against. As the algorithm works now, our alliance will likely lose wars for all eternity. We’ve lost 15 wars in a row since they changed the matching. Could be 16… lost count now.

Our highest lvl player is a 390 automation age. In current war match, the other alliance has a top 6 that are all higher level than our #1 top player. And this one of the better matchups we’ve had for 16 wars… Rediculus.

I believe they said at some point that you can't match teams outside of 3000 glory points difference .
@Harlems369th Is that true? Do i remember correctly?

I sure hope that is true… If true, there is hope at the horizon.

I can now say that there is no 3000 glory limit. Current opponent in war has 3500+ more glory than our alliance. The biggest difference we’ve had, since they changed the matching algorithm, was at just under 8000 glory. Yes, 8000 glory difference, and the developers think that they have made the war matching more fair.

After current war, we will have a losing strike of 17 wars in a row, and this is because our ”small” guys are too big and too strong. …I don’t want to exclude people and create crap accounts to participate instead, just to lower the war weight to get a fair chance. Current situation is just rediculus and demoralising. If we weren’t so extremely strong at triumph, we’d likely have members leaving us.

We've not ever said that there was a maximum glory difference when matching for wars. Here's a link to an explanation on how WW matches are determined https://forums.bighugegames.com/ind...ng-of-world-wars-determined.30785/post-198263

The thread gives plenty of insight into the system and replys from @IDaedalusI . But to avoid excessive wait times there is a forced matchmake system in place if there are no favorable matches within acceptable parameters.

my mistake. Sorry. I had the impression there was an upper and lower limit in terms of alliance glory when searching for a matchup

Our current war is with an alliance with 10.000 more glory, and it is our 17th loss in a row. I can only hope your coming update will do something about match making… Cause the current one screwing us up big time.
