Also, 5. You've cut back our rewards once again. And the promised fairer matchmaking that doesn't punish us for filling up our rosters is nowhere to be seen. I'm facing opponents with 2.5 as many raids as myself. It appears that matchmaking is solely based on GP, which you guys supposedly wanted to get away from.
You know you complainers sound so childish. Why don't you get a job doing this and play your own game if this one bothers you that much. Childish.
Yeah, it's strange expecting a multi-million dollar business to get it right!
The definition of insanity may apply here. All players expecting CG to get a release to work are insane, expecting different results than what we have seen with EVERY release
We’re aware of the issue where the Grand Arena appears to have progressed to the Review phase instead of the Attack phase and are investigating. Will update when we know more!
Erik
Rewards for everybody I’m think send us 20 zetas because no arena for a whole month and fleet shipments no zetas, with 500 Crystals and bronze ranking plus fleet coins. Thank you for your hard work on this game

Even with bad RNG one can hope they get at least one release right lol

First time I've seen anyone complain about raids completed as a metric....

In my case the opponent deployed 0 teams and there was no auto deploy. So I cannot complete quests......Rewards are really good and I would not like to not be able to collect them. And of course I cannot increase my arena score doing battles.
The same for me, with the added bonus of immediately seeing the review phase for the next 5 days according to the timer! I wonder how your fix is going to look like, especially since some people are obviously able to earn the new currency already while most can’t!!!
A fair few in my guild have gone straight to review but I've had no problems. Managed to do my 8 battles without issue. Strange how it's affecting some and not others.

First time I've seen anyone complain about raids completed as a metric....
It's an indicator of total time played assuming that both players have spent their entire time in guilds with close to 50 players and a 600 tickets / day requirement. It's a pretty safe bet that someone with double my raid counter also has been playing for approx. twice as long, with all the gear- and zeta-related advantages that come with additional playtime.
Why did the rewards go from 3 Zetas for 1st down to 2 Zetas for 1st. I got absolutely 0 Zetas during double drops AND a 4 million for credit heist. The 6.99 package jumped to 7.99. Is it just me or is this virtual inflation?
My question if they can't fix it and have to cancel, this new currency is quite valuable. People able to attack can do feats and claim currency while others cannot. What's their plan for that?
Probably best to just reset everyone to where they were before the attack phase began?

So you want gear and zeta matchmaking then.
Doesn't make any sense to tie it to raids, but whatever.
@CG_Erik Since you're canceling this GA, you need to reset the championship score. Without punishing people for completing the fleet battles ahead of time since some of us spent crystals to do so. The next GA needs to have better matchmaking within a single division, not across different divisions like this time, as well as autodeploy for all missing defense teams (even when people set one defense squad manually). Anything else royally messes up our championship scores.
Eric says they are discussing compensation since this round is a wash. Zetas and high level mod slicing material like what we would have gotten from regular gran arena would be great. The double drops didn't quite cover it.
This is the kind of stupid _____ that should get people fired. (insert PG-13 word for excrement since you can't say **** in the forums). But hey, at least we'll get some more double drops to make up for the lost rewards.
If programmers got fired every time a bug went live there would be not programmers left.
This is not a bug. This is putting out such an inferior product that it can not work on the most rudimentary of levels. In my and anyone elses business you get one chance to impress because if you don't your clientele will go elsewhere. CG and their crew of just out of college millennials do not get that basic principle of business yet.

Championship score does not carry over from championship to championship.
As to your point on matchmaking? Making divisions a hard line across which the matchmaking system cannot cross makes it a more gameable system that rewards maintaining your GP just below a cutoff line in order to farm more vulnerable opponents and cut off stronger opponents, while punishing people just above that same line by limiting them to harder opponents. It introduces a wrestling style incentive for spitting in a cup all day before weigh-ins.
Making it a soft line which the matchmaking algorithm can match across reduces the degree to which the system can be gamed in that way. Not eliminate, no, but definitely reduce.

That may be the case, but you need to go through multiple lines of code after typing it... you are bound to miss something, or you type one bit of code that stops another line from working. In your line of business, you make a mistake your clientele might leave, so if you aren’t happy with the product CG has provided you with, after stating they are looking into it, then leave. At least they are trying to fix the issue, as if they knew what the issue was, don’t you think it would have been sorted by now?

Why the hell would you refresh fleet battle? (except getting higher rank, which is not related to this GA)
You had 7 days to do 15 battles. You can do 5 battles per day for free. This waste is on players who want to show their big muscles, not CG.

Now thats a good one.
