Official battles searching......
-
@IvanAndal it’s really is shockingly bad, we only have 2 battles at the minute. One of our teams has been searching for over a week! Another ready to search soon as they find one. Nobody could care less about trying to give an explanation how it works. Sophie has tried (thank you btw)but obviously doesn’t know. Me and Ermal have proven that these battles are not getting matched up fairly, we are seeing crews just below us getting crews lower ranked while we have been searching. It’s not just the odd battle, it’s loads now and very laughable. I wouldn’t mind but we’re not even 1st and don’t have a big lead on other crews! Nobody can or will tell us

Hello everybody . First of all I would like to thank you all for your posts.
Jeffy like you said already and thank you for that, I have tried to help you guys out with everything there is known about the CB matching. I believe though I missed mentioning one detail about it.
You have to know that only one battle team at a time should be set on search for a match making.
For example : if your crew has already 2 battles ongoing then you should start searching for a third battle with only one team, wait for the engine to find your 3rd opponent and afterwards proceed to your 4th attempt.As for the exact ranges of the match making , could you guys make your suggestions about them ?
Because Jeffy as you could see from Ivan's post while you find it hard to have 4 crew battles at the same time, others complain about the range difference of their own battles and find the match making unfair.
So could we please talk about it and share opinions and thoughts about this matter here ?Question : Which range do you guys think would be ideal , fair and work best for all crews ? Meaning difference in Medals ( +/- ) between crews to be matched for an upcoming battle.

Answer to your example:-
We’re only searching one at a time Sophie mate. Soon as one is found out our last team will start searching ASAP. That’s how we have been doing it, I even booted someone yesterday and started searching again with just the one team as we didn’t find a crew in over a week.As for examples to search I’m unsure, we only watch crews in the top 10 when their battles reset hoping we get one of them and haven’t looked past the top 10ranked and somehow they’re missing us and playing lower ranked crews. I’m sure they would love to play us instead and a chance to catch up.
Think the top 10 should be done slightly different to be honest. For example 2k medals difference to lower ranked crews can get a lot higher ranked and jump lots of places in searching. But 2k difference in the top 10 is isn’t much at all between the higher ranked crews. So maybe top 10 searching could be done differently (from 1st to 10th is over 2.5k battlepoints difference at the minute.
-
I would really like other lower ranked crews opinions on this. I’m sure they would like to play higher ranked crews? Or would they rather play crews close to them?
-
@jeffro-davies So would I mate... You just hit the nail with your 1 M. question. The more opinions we'll get from managers from each crew level , the merrier.
-
@jeffro-davies Our view is to match the battles by taking into account the rankings of the teams instead of the medal difference in team battles.
For example; Teams between the first and tenth place should be able to easily match each other when they seek a battle.
If the teams between the first and tenth places do not have a seek a battle, then there may be a match, taking into account the difference in medals with the other teams.
While we were in the first place in my old team, we had problems in this regard.
-
Another idea is to forget about the medals completely and have searching done on rank
1st-25th get matched together
26th- 50th etc.... -
@RevengeisComing completely agree, I posted before reading this

-
@jeffro-davies I don't think that this should be the only factor which decides about one's upcoming opponent. If we want to have a fair and reasonable matchmaking, we have to consider the current win streak of a crew. Crews with equal or almost equal win streaks (+/- 1 or 2) should be able to play against each other WITHIN an extended medal range, e.g. 5k.
-
@jeffro-davies agree
-
@Hafti-Abi I really like that idea Angus. Might be abit complicated for whoever sorts the matching crew battles though mate
-
On the one hand i oftenly use the saying 'to be the best you need to best the best', meaning I personally like playing against tougher opponents, but on the other hand I must say that a lot of my teammates disagree with that, they get demotivated when we constantly get matched with higher placed team (out of our last 6 battles at least 4 of them have been against top 20 crews, we are around 70th place). I agree with the matchmsking system which @jeffro-davies proposed (1st-25th, 26th - 50th etc) or something similar. It would be similar to Nations League groups in real life.
P.S. Unrelated to the topic, but I'll ask anyway. Are there any plans to introduce official crew competitions such as unnofficial WCC or like Nations League in real life. I find this current battle system a bit monotonus, it's just one battle after another, endlessly and always the same, people get complecent with time...

@IvanAndal
Go on the polish forums mate. Lots of competitions are on them forums. WCC, CC,CCW,WNT etc all unofficial competitions. Don’t think GB will ever do official ones to be honest -
@jeffro-davies I know that. But i find the official battle much more enjoyable. For example I hate losing games on purpose which is neccesery in unofficial competitions, but these official one would avoid it. My logic dictates that managers would love this, and that they would be much more competetive. A lot of them would probably invest more time and money into this game, and in the end that is the primary goal of every company includin GB. Am I right ?
Or maybe the ability to create officisl battle tournsment where you would have to invest some of your battlepoints to compete, and then those points would go to the winner as competiton prizes. Anything just to break the monotony (Excuse my English btw.)
-
@IvanAndal your English is fine and understand. I would like competitions with the official battles knockout style, can’t see it happening though unfortunately. I still love the old style unofficial battles competitions. Sure my crew would like to play in everything available

Thank you Ivan. I'm all in for "fair play & play to win" ! And at this point I grab the opportunity to remind to everybody that collusion ( aka setting losing tactics ) goes totally against the article 8 of the OSM Terms of use!

And some food for thought guys...
Please try to consider that every battle provides new points, so if crews were matched with others much lower ranked ones, it would make it unfair to climb on the ranking. Because it's expected that the high ranked crews are there because they are better in every way.
So for top crews being matched with way weaker ones will grant them unfair points to climb even more in the rankings. -
@jeffro-davies
Hi Jeff, our crew is available for a battle against you on Sunday. We have only 4.160 battle-points, but we would like to play against you. -
@HBlauzahn Lmao !!!
