Important Grand Arena Questions

davdeluxe126

Will we be able to use our defensive teams for offense as well?
If our toons survive, will we be able to use them in multiple battles like in Galactic War?

I didn’t see any explicit answers and this would obviously impact my strategy so please let me know if you know what the answers are. Thank you!

this description here makes it sound like its almost identical to TW.

so defense locks in teams and you can't use them on offense.

no multiple uses, just like TW.

Honestly unless there r useful rewards really don’t care.

Gear and mod pieces

Ok hopefully useful gear that can’t be farmed effectively will determine if I waste a minute setting defense lol.

What I have seen so far is gear that only comes from raids mostly not so much farmable gear

Why timer? Let's just play grand arena anytime we want to...more time in game now by a timer...there are game sthat match up live battles..should be live and play anytime..no set time

No way you're going to be able to use the same squads on defense and offense in the same round or use the same offensive team for multiple battles in the same round. They've already said it's basically a mini-TW. We already have a game mode based on PVP of 1 team.

Why a timer? Because the game mode has to finish so everyone else can get on with their lives, lol. I'm supposed to sit around and 2 weeks for you to play your Grand Arena match so our group can advance to the next round? Yeah, I don't think so.

This. I joined a correspondence chess tournament one time. A single round took months.

Are the rewards going to be guild tokens , guild event tokens or will it be a new store currency

OK, next odd question. The 'promo' for Grand Arena forced me to sign in, would not let me back out of the screen. I have zero interest in playing, and do not want to affect the group I am assigned to by not participating. I do not see any button to drop out like you can with TB. Is there a way to drop out of the forced sign in?

The article references the first 24 hours being a join period. Once again I assume just like territory wars.

@Nomadfifteen You’ll play it and like it!

Seriously though, I don’t see a way to leave after you’ve joined.

DuneSeaFarmer

Is it still Player vs AI?

DARTH_TED

I would assume the individual matches would be. Everything I’ve read makes me think it is territory wars just one on one instead of 50 on 50.

Lol. Sound like my parents when I was a kid and didn't eat my vegetables.

Really have no interest in another mode of 'who got lucky and got good mods'. I already auto the PvP battles because I have had no luck getting decent mods. Nothing like looking at a similar point team to see 3+ with over 200 speed and I am lucky to have a team at 160-180, and now I get to see it again.

I wish anyone who plays this luck and hope they enjoy it. Everyone has a mode they enjoy, but another mode of PvP where speed is going to be the number one factor has no interest for me.

DARTH_TED

I feel your pain. I would’ve much rather had an individual raid than an individual territory war.

I don’t believe its the actual join in period yet.

3pourr2

It actually says by the timer count down to player lock in. Si no one is locked in yet.

GhostTruckin

Not locked in no, But joined yes, and the first Ga is like a tutorial, everyone has to play it. The second one which will be a real ga match up will allow optional joining.

Matt_B

This first one is just an exhibition...it’s all good, just collect the 2nd place rewards for joining

A week-long TW with mod slicing materials as rewards... No, thanks. Whoever is matched against me will have an easy win.
