      The events this weekend have beyond frustrating on so many fronts. And this list of things wrong is still even missing the tiebreakers being all screwed up. I may quit after this.

      EDIT: also total silence on most of these issues hasn't helped.
      The silence happens every weekend. We saw it happen not that long ago in a Revolt Against the Consulate event over a weekend where the first node was broken, and everyone was out of the office while the event was running. I don't know that I would read too much into the non-response until there's been time to actually respond. Probably by tomorrow.

      It'll probably be against forum rules to talk about matchmaking soon.
      Be careful not to be to jerkish O.o

      I have also faced some really surprising opponents ,sadly exclusively to my disadvantage. My W/L ratio is out of nothing worse than ever before. I do like a challenge, but that.. No.

      This is definitely a bug because you are matched against the level of the last PW you played. If your Tezz is low level just bank and play all of those back to back.

      We've been testing this for 2 days and it works every time. 

      @LakeStone ^^^ bug alert

      I wonder if this bug is related to how matchmaking works in Training Grounds. There you can enter in with a low level PW, and then before the match start switch to a high level walker for an easy win. Of course, next time you get a match you'll be against a high level opponent.

      Have people given up on using event decks?  I've just faced two decks that have nothing to do with the objectives.  That was kind of disheartening.  Valiant try on the dev's part though.

      *edit*: make that three

      There  are a lot of people who don't play to objectives. These are mostly people who tier up too fast and must go for the win over the objectives.

      Matching people to so-called 'event decks' is a badly thought out quick-fix unlikely to ensure that everyone gets an opponent who represents a fair challenge.

      Its not about matchmaking, but I met the same issue in game
      After I finished the game - I've seen sometimes that HP of my PW goes lower from its value that was at the end of the battle.
      Once my Tezz2 came to 0HP

      Just for an interesting point of data, roughly 70% of my matches in BP were off by more than 5 levels. That is terrible matchmaking.

      Or they do play for objectives, then change the event deck after the matches to a fully optimized deck to make sure others lose matches against them.

      JC claimed you'd only be matched against decks that were actually -played- in the event: http://forums.d3go.com/discussion/comment/664431/#Comment_664431.

      Do you have some evidence to suggest this doesn't actually happen?

      One thing I noticed is that you cannot edit a deck when you've played all your games on that node. 

      I'd be interested in people defining what they mean by "event decks". If the deck can attain the objectives, it's an event deck. Having powerful cards does not mean you won't attain the objectives.

      I am not sure what I think about this... I really like that they are closing the low level PW exploit.  But this method of closing the exploit is completely counter to their objective of making the game "more accessible" to newer and more causal players. 

      Also, interesting that the matchups with familiar faces like Killwind and Mercicide seem to have disappeared...

      so the lvl planeswalker you face is based on the last match you just had, regardless of node, right?  maybe their though process is that if you've got all lvl 30 planeswalkers, then you'll be properly matched.  

      so maybe this fix really is the best option.  sucks for those who don't level their planeswalkers evenly though.

      I faced a Nahiri and Koth deck that had 0 energize cards.

      That's what it seems like -- and the people who "don't" level their PW aren't the problem -- it's the new players who "CAN'T" -- this basically sets new players up to fail -- the whole reason it was programed with +/-5 is so that each player could be matched on their level. Now new and mid level players are basically being screwed.

      well, unless all of their walkers are within 5 lvls of each other, it would be fine, right?

      As yet another point of interest: My 51 saheeli is being consistently matched against 60s in TG, so I don't think the "matches based on your last played" is even true.
