Better rewards in GA.

For the amount of time, energy, and strategy that I put into GA, I really don't feel the rewards are worth it. I've lost a considerable amount of interest, excitement. Every new thing that comes out that involves rewards are just getting worse. I really hope cg, that you make some adjustments as far as rewards are concerned.
Hope this finds you well! Keep fighting the good fight cg!!!!

    I loved the final reward helps with kyros. But now that they are all gone I want another chip to come back. Well played CG!

    IMO I think the rewards that need tweaking are the bottom 2 of one round of ga. I hope I explained that correctly.
    2 zetas- first
    1 zeta -2-4
    1 omega 5-7
    1 ship omega 8

    Those bottom 2 rungs are pretty severe. And I know I know - get gud! But since matches seem to be a lot closer losing 2 rounds isn’t that crazy.

    I would either add a zeta to 5-7 with increasing omegas for places 1 and 2 or scale omegas up a little from 5-8.

    I think it is really cool that you get good rewards advancing through the leagues.

    I missed out in kyber by 4K because I lost a bit and didn’t do all the achievements. Lesson learned.

    I think GAC is a great mode for swgoh. ESP for PvP centric players.

    I think the slicing mats tend to get ignored in the rewards discussion. They reduced the amount of 6E cushion some, but increased the lower level slicing mats by a good amount. Actually I should say they added them, since I don't think they were in the rewards pre-GAC. Plus the new currency, which obviously didn't exist before.

    I'm not sure why this isn't considered an improvement.

    EDIT: I forgot they removed gear, which is the trade-off for the new currnecy. Still, I'd rather have the option to buy Kyro than to get 25 more shield generators.

    The fact that they replaced 1 guaranteed zeta mat, and nerfed the slicing materials, up the rewards per week with currency that can't buy you anything is a kick in the balls. What were they thinking? Give us our zeta mat back and slicing mats, too.

    I wanted to cut down the size of the post so leaving the quote so you're tagged.

    The big problem is that the GAC currency doesn't really buy anything. You're not giving up 25 shield generators for 25 Kyrotechs... You're giving up 100 of those other gear pieces for the chance to buy an undetermined amount of Kyrotechs, 6e Mod slicing mats, other slicing mats, and finally an extra Zeta mat (four per month).

    I made it to Kyber, so I got 3200 or so currency for my division (7)... for a months work. I've got about 6000 lifetime GAC currency.

    They're currently GAC priced at 70 currency per 1 kyrotech salvage. Are you kidding me? The five weeks of GAC exhibitions will give me what? 85 Kyrotechs? Not enough for a g13 finisher nor a single Fleshlight salvage for that g13 finisher.

    I'd give back every piece of GAC currency for a return to the old rewards any and every day of the week.

    It takes like 30 seconds to set your defenses and like maybe 15 mins to do all of your attacks. It isn't like it is a huge time investment.

    Oh, so it doesn't run a month then? Just 16 mins and its over? It's a month long event and should have rewards that reflect that.

    You get plenty during - small coins each match. Rewards per round. And then major coinage at the end.

    Ok let's say it takes an hour instead of 15 minutes. That's 12 hours total. Eh.

    Thanks for all the responses! It's good to hear multiple perceptions of how you see and play. I spend about an hour just going over their characters and mods. Hstr takes less than a hour.
    So I expect a part that takes a month to play would have a lot more. Hopefully their just working out the kinks, ect, before they release more rewards and currency. I mean 1 month of play and at the end, 2 days spending in the store for 15-30 pieces of g13. Rrrrrrright! Then it sits till next GA. Maybe they should consider adding the currency to PvE? Thanks for your opinions and cheers!!!!!!

    For most end game players, raids last about an hr and provide better rewards overall for doing absolutely nothing.

    E.g HPit - do nothing and get guild store currency, shard shop currency, and quite a big of generally useful gear salvage.

    Admittedly though, HAAT rewards are generally poor across the board.

    Except that you get a small amount in TW and in HSTR as well (maybe also at lower tiers, I don't know that)

    THIS! Overall I think the rewards are "okay to good", they did add Omegas in place of a missing Zeta, so that is not the big insufficiency here. The big insufficiency is the missing gear.

    We used to get 25 pieces of good gear for a win. Now we get 700 (not counting event end) coin, and as has been brought up many times 700 buys virtually nothing, aka as per above, 10 kyrotech, or a small amount of other gear, which you should not even entertain buying because there is a HUGE kyrotech bottleneck already and growing.

    Yes, there has been some other stuff added which helps the overall "package" and lesson this insufficiency, like crystals, etc, but there is just not enough gear awarded for a month long event plain and simple. What I suggested before was instead of giving us small amounts of "useless" pieces for promotions (exc. holo's those are very useful and needed), give us those small amounts in things we need, Guns, Cuffs, Eyeballs, Callers, Furnaces, MK4 Zaltin, the things we used to get. Then we could use all the currency for Kyro and not feel the insufficiency of not getting any other gear @CG_SBCrumb

    The gear was great (guns or carbs) or terrible (shields).

    You can't ignore the end currency. It's a bonus that never existed before GAC and you get it for no additional work.

    The biggest problems is that zetas, IMO, are the most valuable thing in the game. They've taken them away, 6e Mod materials (valuable), and gear that ranges from meh to YAS. We get a chance to get very little out of the shop for those losses.

    Completely garbage trade off, IMO.

    Yeah that was a real bummer finding out that way. Really destroyed morale for me! Wish they never had said anything. Yet alone a utube video on it. I say to cg, write a program that will search specifically for whatever ip address is used, and what players have used it. And drop the hammer as the post from the guy above said. Like I said before, keep up the good fight cg!

    This discussion seems to ignore the gear pieces (and crystals) that are in the league promotion boxes, which are not insignificant.
