Should we active shak ti or not ?
If i activate her my GP will increase and i will have thougher opponents in Grand arena and maybe i will lose in GA

Wow. That's a really good post. Stating the obvious and asking others what they think.

No_Try · June 6, 2019 11:48PM

I didn't. First toon I haven't activated. I'll do the wait and see approach if I'll have a use for her in horizon.

GA matchmaking algo has already changed though, we just haven't seen it yet.

Your GP will barely increase, certainly not by enough that you will get a significantly stronger GA opponent.

VonZant · June 6, 2019 11:55PM

Yes you should. You get to hear the music.

KyJoe_Cool · June 7, 2019 12:20AM

I did. I also leveled her up and some of her abilities, gave her level 1 mods and some gear. Should I be worried? Lol 😝

KueChael · June 7, 2019 12:45AM

Just don’t train, mat, gear or mod her and you’ll be ok.

This game has sound!!!???

(that joke has lost it's impact since the sound turning on bug last month

I didn't because I don't have the new kyrotech pieces she requires. So much for alleviating the gear crunch.

Unactivated characters make me cry.

TVF · June 7, 2019 2:25AM

Also hunger strikes.

So you guys don't unlock toons just to get paired with a lower GP players. LMAO, just play the game for crying out loud. You're GP won't go up that much. But ya, you shouldn't be proud playing this way, none of you. Scared to gear up toon, lmao

I get it but the game was not designed to be played this way. All that are doing it is using a handicap/crutch. If you do it, you shouldn't advertise it because it doesn't make you look like a good player.

Yeah that would put you in a completely new league with mega krakens. No can do.

How do you mod without training? Mods start at Level 50.

I did it like all other toons ... bought 30 Shards, trained her, did auto-mod, geared her till I had to use gear which I reseverd fpr other toons. Skilled all skills below omega/zeta ... I do not care about GA - but I have fun to play her in GW

If you don't activate her you'll be up against the same people as before who also don't activate.

I activated her because lean roster GA nonsense is... nonsense.

Zaraos · June 7, 2019 8:52AM

GA is won by three things, Tactics, Mods and the right teams geared. Even if you take off all your mods and cry when you gain 100 GP it wont affect anything. The reason people lose is due to the three above reasons and nothing else

RandomSithLord · June 7, 2019 8:55AM

Not activating toons for better matchmaking is like shaving to have a lower bodyweight.
Gearing and leveling toons you don't use is what makes matchmaking tougher for you. Having another 676 GP from G1 lv1 makes virtually zero difference in your match up.

Tyras · June 7, 2019 3:27PM

Sounds like she will be a big help in the upcoming geo tb. I wouldn’t pass her up

TVF · June 7, 2019 3:31PM

I don't not activate because of GA, I don't activate because I'm lazy.

Kookermader · June 7, 2019 4:12PM

I activate all characters, as leaving characters unactivated just feels really lame to me. I think it may have a tiny negative impact on my GA matchups, but it's not going to stop me from playing the game the way I enjoy playing it. However, I do think a system that encourages people to not activate/gear/level toons is an extremely poor design (even if the effect is infinitesimal), particularly in a game where they presumably want us to spend money gearing more toons.

It's negligible.

I suppose it makes me a bit of a hypocrite because I still haven't activated my 6* Padme, but I'm not ready to use her, so there's no point (yet).

In my case it may not be negligible because I don't just activate characters, I bring them up to g7 so they get the purple ring (as long as it only requires gear I have hundreds of). It's possible that this does have a minor impact on my matchups, and I think that ideally there should be no potential downside to upgrading my characters with surplus gear. I just don't care enough to get really worked up about it, especially since I win most of my GA brackets anyway. Also, I know that I'm choosing to level/gear these characters even though they aren't useful and it potentially puts me at a disadvantage, so I have no one to blame but myself. I just don't think it's an ideal system.

I have 20 that I haven't activated yet.

I wonder if @Edward hoards toons too.

Massena777 · June 7, 2019 5:13PM

I'm not activating her. Her gear requirements are too high for me to invest in her and a full clone team when I need to gear malak, padme, and DS tb teams

Why would I activate any of these toons that I have no intention on using in the next 6 months, and I am still farming Phoenix and JTR and JKR, and I took 1st place in my GA last round? Not just playing the game, but not doing too bad at it for having took 2 years off. It's part of the game mechanics, and using the game mechanics matters if you want to win.

I think that this thinking is the degenerative behaviour the devs are hoping to address with the upcoming GA matchmaking alterations.

Sigh
