    Ya'll are messing up again. I got paired up against a marshal 5 times these last 2 days despite me being just a seasoned Legionnaire.
    Your PVP matchmaking is shot again.
    And whats the deal with waiting for 2 hrs to get a 3v3 then seeing Marshals in teams making it virtually unwinnable for us lowbies?

    As a "lowbie" myself, I'm kinda forced to agree with you about the match making. But on the flip side I have been known to take out knights and flag bearers.....they might've been weak, but hey...can't complain.

    Too true... I had fun earlier though. In the match pictured, if my team mate hadn't gotten lucky, I would have gotten all three flag carries and all four awards (as it was, I got 3/4 so who am I to complain?)

    Moral of the story: PvP match making may be broken, but talent and way too much time playing the game can over come that.

    lol...to true Baragain.

    Yesterday I just made the novice cent title. Believe me when I say I worked for every single honor point :cool:

    Let's see if I got this right. You went blind into a tournament, and found out you were severely outmatched. You stayed in and got the snot kicked out of you, a humiliating defeat, but totally expected.
    And you stuck around 5 times, expecting something else to happen? Or do you just want to see how bad it is going to be each time?

    Or maybe you get better by learning the hard way.
    Prison is finishing school. Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time.

    I think i was on the short side of several 5v5s that were actually 5v4s and 5v3s yesterday. I sent a whole bunch of complaint tickets in.

    I think my DK was on the same team as Darwarren for at least one of these matches.

    BP should boost the honor points awarded to the losing/weaker side in some of these unbalanced matches.

    I only hit Ardent Centurian yesterday and LVL 32 fame shortly after that... I know exactly how you feel.
    I agree with you to a point on this... I've sugested in the past for 1v1, that they take the difference between your level and the level of your opponent, the PVP fame rank difference into account. If you are the same level but they are higher PvP rank and you win, you should get extra honor. My proposed list for balancing is as follows.

    1 level difference: ±3% honor
    2 level difference: ±6% honor
    ...
    5 level difference: ±15% honor
    More than 5 level difference in either category, they should not be fighting each other at all.

    With this, in theory, a LVL 40 Centurion who beats a LVL 45 Seasoned Knight should get +30% honor but if it were the other way around, the LVL 45 Seasoned Knight would get -30% honor compared to fighting someone their own rank. Then, if you were to extend this to 3v3, 5v5, and 6v6, your would base it on damage done to other players, kills to other players, and damage taken by whom while running the flag and apply the same percentages.

    But like I said on another thread... that would take more common sense than the developers seem to show before they make decisions that effect the entire game.

    Wasn't that Einstein that defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?
    :eek:

    To play this game, you have to be at least this nuts. LOL
