Fail siege matchup system is fail...

lol at today's matchups. Twice... 2 guilds near each other in points... hmm, I wonder how they can be paired up. Nope, this is too hard, gotta hire 10 computer engineers with master degrees to be able to make a program to figure how to pair them up fairly.

Seriously, this issue started 2 chapters ago. Can we expect a fix when siege comes out of beta after the end of time?

For all we know (nothing) there might be a perfectly valid reason for that lack of matchup. My personal theory is that there are more guilds signed up than the system has spots for an actual seige.

One guild was signed up for Daily siege, the other was signed up for a Declaration siege.

easy solution for uneven match ups, move siege time back to our original time 10 pm est.

as of now, siege is either too early at the 8 pm est time, or way too late at 12 midnight est time.

the current format of siege will work nicely if there are a tons of guild on the US servers that have many players on to siege a different time slot, but we do not

everyone tends to just siege during the evening time, and with different time slots available, not the best times though, so will always result in uneven matches.

just need to adjust siege for an hour or two later, where most everyone is home and not too late or early...

new year, new siege time please...

This suggestion has been passed on by our forum staff at least once. However, at this point I've all but accepted that gameforge will never fix siege time. Why is this? Because it is an issue that only affects the US servers. if its a problem that doesn't affect the EU and German severs it seems gameforge couldn't care less.

at least this is the impression i'm getting from the current gameforge staff. i hope they prove me wrong one of these days.. :(

The same 2 guilds cannot siege each other each night. The top guild is the first guild matched up, and it is with a random guild in the top 10 or 12, I do not remember which, it then moves down the list. I really do not understand the issue. If a 13K point guild is only signed up and the next point total is 6K and the rest are 3k and less, everyone is going to complain, but the 6k guild cannot be the match up every night.

Then wouldn't they have the Declaration button beside it?

Its not the siege matchup - its the lack of it. Guilds often are not getting matched with any opponents.

Redundant posts. They know the seige system is flawed, not much they can do.
