Glad to see the reward system emphasizes playing the objective (hope there is no record of K/D anywhere).
That said, does anyone have a sense for how matchmaking will be done? Skill-based? Connection-based? Also, how does group formation work? Is character type, or mag vs. Stam a piece of the puzzle?

I believe they said on ESO Live that it will match pre-made groups vs pre-made groups where possible but if the check fails a lot it will put them vs a PUG (4x single queue) group so they can actually play.NinthPrince64 wrote: »Glad to see the reward system emphasizes playing the objective (hope there is no record of K/D anywhere).

There will be no match making ranks or such at launch, so very skilled groups will be matching players not of their skill level.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

Crafts_Many_Boxes✭✭✭✭✭Yeah, so Rift uses a system like this. It's an utter garbage fire because it only works out that premade groups go up against each other maybe 50% time (and that's being optimistic). The other 50% of the time, it's a group of experienced, geared players facerolling a bunch of casuals / newbies.
This game actually has the population to support it, so if they want successful pvp they're gonna have to make brackets of some sort.0
