[MEGA] Upcoming Grand Arena Championship Division Changes

Replies

  • Another vote for any placements for anyone going down being bad. Every single one of my opponents has both GET2 Cap ships maxed. Since they all have at least 2 GLs, most have at least 2 more strong fleets. It's absurd to lower us to 1 fleet. Right now we have an interesting choice of how many GET2 fleets to place on defense. Instead fleet will be mindless. (For reference I'm 6.2m GP).

    One explanation to why they don’t just add more divisions to the existing ones instead of doing this overly complicated recalibrating is simply that they don’t have the player base to support more divisions :(

    That must be it, we are getting down to the last 88 people playing the game. ;)

    A person with 3 mil GP used to be able to use 6 teams but now they can only use 4 making it a waste to have a balanced roster with many decent teams. I wasted all my time rounding out my teams and it will take me 3 more million GP just to use the same amount of teams i could before.

    In my opinion this is the worst update to ever come to swgoh because it only helps the big whales and is screwing the smaller players over

    Again, what does that have to do with whales?

    it only lets people with higher GP use more teams than they used to, everyone else gets less. If you have over 7.8 mil GP then you are a whale

    Same here, except at 2.7 mil I'm dropping all the way to *three* teams. I hate it because there are a bunch of lower level squads that I basically only get to use in GAC which would basically get put on the shelf permanently with this change.

    Plus I've been really looking forward to using two fleets (I wish there was more fleet content) but now with the new GP requirements I'm like 2 years away from being able to do that.

    That’s not what makes someone a whale. There are plenty whales with 4,5,6M GP as well.

    While that’s usually true, you don’t have to be an Uber whale. People who hoard and dirty bloat the roster for TB or GP, and are day one players aren’t necessarily big spenders.

    Your main point though is kind of diluting the overall issue. This isn’t the fault of the whales but CG’s lack of foresight; or refusal to have any. Whichever you think honestly lol

    I know mate but 4,5,6, and 7 are all getting benefitted but the lower GPs are getting screwed. More people are whales in the higher Gps than the lower

    i have nothing against people who spend a lot of money on the game but the problem is that it seems CG is gatewalling everything behind money

    It’s a total lack of foresight, and the clarifications we’ve had directly from Crumb / Doja and indirectly via Kyno prove that.

    It took about a page of comments before Crumb / Doja even understood what people were referring to with promotion rewards. Then Doja’s clarification made it totally clear that they hadn’t even considered them as an issue.

    And when kyno told us that the 2 fleets only in new div 1&2 was what the devs always intended, it honestly sounds like he asked them if they wanted rice or fries with their meal. The only way they could claim that this was always what they’d intended, is if they hadn’t figured out what they’d intended in the first place and just flipped a coin.

    the issue isn’t uneven matchups, its that lower GPs
    get to use way less teams.

    That must be it, we are getting down to the last 88 people playing the game. ;)

    Playing the game...No
    Playing GAC...yes

    I am seeing more and more people stuck in carbonite at the end of recent GAC’s. They may join but don’t participate.

    Oh god! I hope not, that would mean I’d be stuck on this forum with these people for the rest of my time :smiley:
