Grand Companies Win/Loss Chances

Primal, Maelstrom, most wins were with a full premade.

On primal Adders are god awful. Nobody ever listens. Maelstrom always wins.

Maelstrom has DEFINITELY been on a losing streak this week. I'd start running with premades but it always takes so long when I queue as a group.

The weekend wasn't too bad.. won every 4-5 matches.. but today has been dreadful. Not helping that most matches I've been in we start like 5-6 players short.. not to mention last match there were at least 2 afk.

I wouldn't take the win ratios too seriously... If you guys did not know yet... You can leave a game and not have a loss. So anytime you are about to lose you can just leave and avoid the recorded loss... pretty stupid idea on SE's part imo...

Leaving any in progress game should always give you third place... it's not like if you do get disconnected you can't get back in... or if you seriously had a power outage, take one loss... shouldn't be that common to have that many power/internet problems everyday.

Did not know this - pretty lame for sure. Going to be funny if SE releases 'rankings' with this issue in-place.

Maelstrom just wins wins wins no matter what, it’s sea swallows all and I can never get enough…

*Ahem*...Apologies for that outburst of totally biased Grand Company patriotism!

Speaking of wins and losses during PvP matches, have you ever received a bit more PvP experience points or Wolf Marks than usual after a Frontline battle concludes?

Well, if the Grand Company you belong to continues to rank at third place, a multiplier will be added to both PvP experience points and Wolf Marks and this will build up to a certain amount for each player.

So if you weren’t sure why sometimes you were receiving higher amounts of these than normal, it’s because of this multiplier. Once your Grand Company ranks at first place the multiplier will reset, but the bonus will be applied for that round.

Camate…always bragging about Maelstrom’s dominance, while I am just sitting in Frontline like, “Maybe we should go center everyone? >.>; OH! Never mind the enemy just captured our only flag. Q_Q”

Excuse my Frontline bitterness, I am a sore loser. Hope everyone is enjoying PvP and congratulations to all the players who earned their mounts! One hundred wins is quite the achievement.

I look at you two and think "Odd couple."

That's funny, because for Adders I'm currently sitting at 20/20/19 (1st/2nd/3rd)
Didn't ragequit a single of those matches. Why eat the 30 minute penalty when you get rewards out of it anyways?

On the brightside...

At least we're not Flames.

This is slightly off topic, but seems like a good place to ask...I see names for server groups thrown around (Like Primal!), but I have no idea where to find information/names on these server groups.

I ask because I hear a lot of talk about the Flames' low win rate, but I'm a flame and my 1st place rate is holding at a respectable 40%. So I imagine I'm on a different server group. I know which other servers I'm connected to, but I don't know how to determine what that group's name is. Thank you for any info!

Oh and... FOR COIN AND COUNTRY!

I really, really, really think it's all about the time of day and the group you are matched with... and, of course, how well they communicate with each other! By this point, strategies are established (although a lot of the better groups are very good at being reactive). So, you really just have to hope you get matched up with people who are really serious about winning. I've had days where the Adders got third place constantly, and then I've had times where they won six matches in a row by a large margin until I decided I was done playing for the day. It is true that 'premades' or at least partial premades will likely do better, if only because they're more communicative with each other.

In other words, I don't think there's a 'general trend' of a better group. Although, if you are playing and notice that your team isn't doing well and isn't very receptive to strategizing... and you lose multiple times in a row... it might just be a bad time to do frontlines for your GC and you should try again later. No one loves losing over and over again.
