GSoW is Live!

Spock,

I see some Imperial UC league Imperial squads in the matchmaking queue, but they are not showing up in the totals. DARKSIDE is showing a wait time of 4 hours and 24 minutes. The matching queue shows zero in the UC total. Looking at the squad makeup, DARKSIDE is clearly a UC squad with almost all Prestige players and most at max medal counts. I could buy the timing issue if they were waiting for less than 30 minutes, but at 4 hours plus, I gotta assume they were included in the sweep at some point. The squad page also shows "Not in war", so they are not being picked up for some reason.

Just a quick update,
The squads listed in the matchmaking queue are now clickable if you want to see their details.

how recent is the data that you're using for the webpage? Is it "live" data?

It takes roughly 30 min for the bots or make a full pass updating the info one squad at a time.

thx - explains why, when we get matched in 30 or fewer seconds, we never get into this data.

Nice! Figured that was coming. Saves the copy paste search I was doing in the interim, to get a handle on the squad makeups in each league.

Quick update - Once you get a handle on the squad profiles in the war queue, you can set your war lineups accordingly and pretty much get an instant match if you are a rebel. I'm assuming if you are an Imperial and don't mind having a war with another Imp squad, you could probably get the matchmaking time down under an hour or at least cut the wait time in half. Of course your squad would need to have a mix of players from level 4 through Prestige, but I think many squads do. We matched in 5 minutes this morning.

If you are a rebel squad and you have players between level 4 and 9, you can get a war matchup in under 30 minutes and often an instant matchup now. As long as you use the data on the gsow.net site. Pretty effective. You can supplement that lineup with one level 10, if that base is not maxed out. E.g. closer to a level 9 in base score. Really helps our lower level players get into wars, and sets up nicely since you can control the start time with much more precision. I don't know what the medal threshold for the squad lineup is, but based on what I am seeing, it's about 225K to 250K. Anything higher and you might be rolling the dice a bit. I try to include just the players with medal counts under 30K. I might experiment more down the road.

In these matchups, the Carbonite squads tend to have total medal counts under 100K with a higher total base score of 30K to 40K. Our team base score for our low HQ lineup is usually in the low 20K range. There's a trade-off for our higher medal count.

The GSoW anger has now been turned off until after the new year.
Will post here again when it’s being turned back on.
Happy holidays from the GSoW team!
