Grand arena matchmaking error?
I complain a lot I know, but never about GA I’ve always found it to be fair and only ever lost once so can’t conplain plus I enjoy it.
But just searched all of the opponents, they all have a minimum of 4.8 mill GP, 2.9 is the lowest character GP.
I’m 3.9 and have only 2.5 character GP. Is it meant to be like this? Pretty sure I’m nailed on last as they all have the same arena team as me and have 1st too, but with so much more depth I don’t stand a chance. Seems a bit unfair.

Why oh why did they use it to create the Divisions in Grand Arena? Well, in all honesty, probably in the absence of anything better. Does it work? Of course not. Depending on which toons I use, I can whoop teams much higher in galactic power, and vice versa - we've all seen it.
If you don't have Revan, Chewbacca, 3P0 or the likes, then you could be in bother. If you have geared and levelled up older toons (and therefore more often than not, less relevant) you could be in real bother. And if it's both... look forward to that 8th spot.
Are two toons with 10k power as good as one at 20k? Lmao. Does scoring need a complete overhaul? Absolutely! Will it happen? Mynocks it will!
Matchmaking is no longer based on GP. Without knowing how many G12s, G11s, G10s, G9s that everyone has, there is absolutely no way to tell whether any of the match-ups are balanced or fair. Just giving us your GP doesn't tell us anything.
But I feel it’s gone from one extreme to another. I have approximately 60 g12 with 50 odd zetas. I’m facing some with 80 g12 and 70 zetas, it’s quite simply not winnable if they have the meta teams too. It’s not like I can rely on DR, JKR, Padme etc as they have the exact same teams but more.
I do think the scoring is so skewed that yes, if you have a widespread roster versus a more focused one, then you are at a disadvantage. And if you are not running the current meta, then massive disadvantage. I think it needs to run to perhaps allow EA to realise how far out of alignment scoring has become... then they can address the problem. Then Divisions can be more equitable.
Who said anything about me facing those with lower GP? I focus my account on meta characters only, if someone decides to gear everyone and not the right characters then that should be their problem not the entire player bases
You did
I’m quite clearly referring to those without focus being matched against those with lower GP to even it out. Don’t play stupid.
Right there is one of the problems. It's fine for you cause you are always winning. You have a huge head above all your opponents and they think it's super unfair. They are in these forums weeks ago doing what you are doing now, demanding the way ga is done to be changed.
Honestly this way makes it more fair, puts you up against people like you, if you start to lose just try harder or spend more money. Cause what you are doing now is what the others you crushed did.
P.S I’ll still scrape second cause I actually know how to play the game, the thread is about miss matches, which based on roster depth I’ve clearly been miss matched as have others.
Gotta keep an eye on her unless you want your possessions to go up in smoke.
It's still based on GP, just not totality of it but a slice of it. CG says there are also soft weightings in place other than it, but this invisible for doesn't seem to change the outcome much as while top end GP slice they use aligns almost perfectly, all else looks pretty random and left to chance.
Want a medal? I have all the above teams. When both players have the 6 strongest metas jn the game it boils down to GO depth. Go play with your new traya squad like a big boy
No, I don’t want or need a medal thank you. I have plenty earned over a career doing important things other than crying because someone has a 500k lead over me in exhibition mode. If you all had actually read any instructions by the devs you would post the issues in the mega thread as asked instead of flooding General with thousands of whambulance posts. I know reading comprehension is bad on these forums as evidenced by many pointing out simple things to the OPs.
Fact check: Please post over in the megathread if you run into any additional bugs or have feedback around the event.
Enjoy you weekend and sorry I could not get into an awesome guild to carry me in HSTR when it first came out. I didn’t realize someone’s roster was more important than the ability to strategize and overcome.
I top scores HSTR for months, was never carried but good try.
You sound pretty triggered bro, git gud.
Also I posted this before there was a mega thread, see ya 👍
very bad
Match making now is done almost exclusively by looking at the top GP characters in your roster.
Use this tool to compare to your opponent, using the top 65-70 characters and you'll find it's not much of a mismatch at all.

Did you look at the pictures at the bottom? 😂😂😂
Ouch man, I feel for ya. That's how mine looks as well. GP does matter when the opponent can throw 4 extra teams on offense at you to clear a zone and win.
I did, and even ran the compare. It's a 9797 GP difference in the top 65 characters between you and them.
Bottom of the roster, G7/G8 characters don't matter in the top divisions.

You lost by 4 banners and you think the match was predetermined? Ok.
