MoSam Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I am very well aware we'll most likely never see Cross faction match making system, as this would require Cross-Server PVP to make it really work. And the latter, as BioWares Bruce Maclean said, will not happen as " it is a *significant* challenge". Source: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=6398419#edit6398419 But what about same faction matchmaking? You know, a system that, if you have a match of 16 reps, for example, separates them into 2 groups in such a way that it actually has a chance of creating a balanced team? And not grab the 50+, and throw them all in one team, and add all healers in queue to that group, and take the rest and put them in the other group (obviously talking about the 30 to 54 bracket here, as i think its mainly an issue there)? You don't need Cross server queues, no longer waiting times, all you need is a game mechanic that takes a quick look at the 16 players waiting in line and attribute them in such a way that set they are fairly evenly split, least in terms of team composition. Or would that be a significant challenge as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Beers Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 You can face the same faction in every WZ. As far as matchmaking deciding who is what role could prove difficult for a computer. What is going to happen to hybrids? Especially where people in the 30-54 bracket don't have all their points. IMO every WZ should be ranked. Everyone should have a rating and the queue should match people with similar ratings instead of the random grab bag we have now. Premades should be matched using the highest rating in the group. Gear and spec shouldn't matter with bolster and good teams will succeed even if they don't have healing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
