Grand arena GP fix will continue to punish fleet players
Before I start, I know that there will be some changes that will address the matchmaking and GP differences for grand arena. Until then how about some quick and easy adjustments that will give the few of us that have invested in fleet a chance and an incentive to participate.
The incentives are easy, include zetas in the rewards for the 1 in 3 GAs that include fleet. I have no idea why these GA matches are the only ones that pay-out with omegas but it should be easy to fix.
To give us a chance, change the banners rewarded in the fleet node to equal the squad node. Without this adjustment it is impossible to win unless you wipe out all of your opponents teams and will continue to encourage squad investment over fleet investment after whatever GP fix is planned. In the current GA my opponent didn't fill all his defensive slots and will win because the fleet node payout is 115 less than squad. I've included a screen shot to show the point difference.

I think the only way to increase ship investment is for cg to first release more ships. Then heck, maybe they can even do a ship only GA
It's OK!
Not sure if trolling, but that might actually be a good idea. There's currently not much to do with ships in GA anyway, so removing them at least until we get more options could be beneficial.
It's something i prefer because i'm heavily biased, but i wasn't trolling.
Of course that's another reason why basing matchups on GP is something only a child would do, and CG does it. GP has never meant anything in this game.
Seven starring adds a ton of GP, gearing up adds less, a geared one star can one shot a non geared seven star.
Fleets can stay, the problem will always be basing Matchups on pointless meaningless GP. The fleet zone should matter more, it should be the same as the squad area. When ships are in GA you should win in a situation posted in the OP. It would only be fair to people who prefer to play ships over squads.
But I guess that's just not how CG wants you to play.
If the fleetzone matters more, wouldn't that be punishing for the players who invested in squad?
Also, there are obviously more exceptions than han and chewy.
Hmm...so it’s unfair to increase points for ships since there’s more squad battles, but it’s ok to factor in ship GP equally with squad GP for matchmaking???
Not saying anything negative towards you. This is exactly what myself and others have pointed out for a while. And you’re right, under the current setup, squads should award more points since they involve more battles and characters. But the GP for ships should be adjusted (at least for GA), in order to reduce the occurrence of these mismatches.
Yea it would punish squad investors more, but that’s because the GP matchmaking isn’t a good way to match people up (at least the way GP is currently calculated). Currently, it’s sucks when 45% of my GP contributes 25% of the total points. It would be nice if every battle wouldn’t be an uphill battle.
