Matchmaking

Matchmaking is a complex science that works in the background to match two users together in a battle.

How does Matchmaking work in Realm War?


Matchmaking works behind the scenes to match two players of a similar battle point together. There is a search radius of 5% higher/lower of your current battle points for an opponent. If a match cannot be found straight away this value will slowly increase to a 9% range higher or lower than your battle points.

Battlepoints do not directly reflect the power of a players Warband. Being matched with a player with higher battle points does not necessarily mean they have a stronger Warband.

20k Matchmaking hard cap
When a user hits 20,000 battle points they will be pooled together with anyone 20,000 or above, to ensure that players around this area have a person to play against.

Why the hard cap?
The reason for this change is to ensure players with significantly higher battle points still have real players to fight against.

What steps are being taken to improve Matchmaking?

 * We're looking at better ways to match players over 20,000 - We understand this is not the most ideal solution and likely unfair to those just entering this bracket.
 * We're looking at possibly introducing a legendary leaderboard system for players over 20,000 which would reset every month.
 * We are looking at the options to match based on other factors opposed to Battle Points such as current "Warband Score" or using an ELO system.
