Hi Holotable Heroes,
The upcoming Grand Arena is going to have a different structure, this time squads are limited to a max of 3 characters. Battle Time will remain at 5 minutes and there will no Ship Territories. Read on to find more about the Grand Arena starting on 12/20/2018.
Rules:
- Characters only
- 4 Territories each side
- 3 characters per squad
- Same Banner scoring as mentioned here
There will be more squads slots for each territory than previously as each squad only requires 3 characters instead of 5.
*Based on the lowest GP player in each group
Schedule:
- Preview: Dec 20th
- Setup 1: Dec 21st
- Attack 1: Dec 22nd
- Setup 2: Dec 23rd
- Attack 2: Dec 24th
- Setup 3: Dec 25th
- Attack 3: Dec 26th
- Review: Dec 27th

Crumb just posted the 3v3 Grand Arena and I'm looking forward to it, except...
The rewards... #5-7 get 0 zetas and the number of character omegas are pretty low. The stun guns you get is far reduced than stun cuffs we got for the same placement.
I'm really looking forward to 3v3 but the reward pool needs to be less cheap. This is like weekly shipments where you start offering good rewards and then suddenly take a nosedive. Please don't ruin Grand Arena with meager rewards
cg: let's ruin it
Guess it’s great for ppl who can finish top 4, but everyone else is losing out on zeta mats.
Cheers
no guild currency, no GET, less omegas, no credits, salvage you get from tw
and that is just for first place
dont even wanna talk about 5-8
So tired of the way the devs ruin the game.

I know math can hard, but I'm pretty sure 50% of the people would have done better than 0 zetas if TW had occurred.
Precisely this. Yet another example of CG "fixing" something by making it worse for the players.

Then you have the missing rewards for those that would of gotten zetas in a TW, but in this format if you’re not one of the top 4 you just lost out on zetas you would of gotten in the TW.
They didn't say, only that it would replace TW in December. And that they'd give us equivalent rewards, which has failed to happen.
I guess...don't?
Uh...yes. Heck, depending on how your opponent prioritizes offense/defense you might even be able to go 1 vs 3. Otherwise...wait til the next event with 5v5.
Personally I hope that the future includes 5v5 and 3v3 territories in the same event rather than full events of one or the other.
1. The rewards suck. Thanks for cancelling TW for this!
2. 3v3 cannot be practiced
3. It'll run over Christmas, so don't even have time to theorycraft teams
4. Mods lock, so connected to (2) and (3), if you realize halfway through you would have a counter, but you need different mods, well, too bad.
This is something that you and I definitely agree on.

So this was apparently a straight up lie? The rewards outlined in the most recent post don't even come close to rewards we'd get from Territory Wars. No guild store currency. No GET. Mod salvage instead of gear salvage, and useless Mk12 salvage as outlined in other posts. Not to mention fewer zetas and omegas than we would otherwise get—and that's if we WIN! If we're in the bottom half of our groupings, we'll get nothing?
I'm hoping you're planning on handing out actual recompense to all players, CG, otherwise your choice to remove the TWs amounts to a lie and a nerf rolled into one. A 'lerf' if you will.
(And I'm saying this as someone who really enjoys Grand Arena. But these rewards are an insult.)
So would you rather go back to when the rewards were no zetas?
