    still not clear what is the cg definition of "best player". Anorher pr desaster. Very unsatisfactory.

    If the "best" only play the best then 3/4ths of the "best" won't make kyber. So the "best" need a way to not play "the best" so they get their Kyber otherwise all those people funding the game not making kyber are going to be very angry.

    Then you also have a situation where the top 5% in everything are always getting the best rewards in everything. (which is fine to a point) but if 95% of the actual player base can never catch them or are ONLY fighting them and have 0 chance of making kyber or aurodium they have nothing to shoot for and will just encourage massive "not playing" joning but not really trying

    so in summary.

    If the best only play the best bad for whales $$$
    If the best only play the F2P to ensure their Kyber status 95% of game could care less what happens cause nothing to play for.

    Try being the manager who has to ensure a way for the whales funding the game to reach kyber every time to keep them happy. and at the same time figure out a way that the bad players can win once in a blue moon to make them "think" they have a chance at progressing in GAC.

    To be fair if the current system is "completely random based on matched GP" it hurts a lot of whales fighting whales but is probably enough to keep the other 95% of the game at least trying.

    If you have a system that you feel finds out who the best of the best is without locking out the majority of your whales from kyber by making them go 6/6 in grindout matches and also makes the other 95% of the game feel compelled to keep trying I would be glad to hear those ideas (ANYONE not just u Enas)

    Give points for gp deployed on defenses, this will ensure whales with 16+ 110k teams get to kyber much easier and with less wins than people who are deploying 75k defenses.
  • Hmm, looks like the Fleet Commander feat is counting squad arena wins rather than fleet arena wins.
  • Anyone having issues with the fleet commander feat? My battles are not counting towards the feat for some reason

    Sorry if this question was asked earlier, tried to find it but failed.

    How exactly are divisions work? Div3 ends at 3,79k GP, Div2 begins at 3,8k GP. If I have 3,799,999 GP - to what division will I be placed?

    Thanks a lot for this Information.
  • I don't understand why CG doesn't use the winner moves up loser moves down system.

    Set everyone's GAC points based on their character GP for non-fleet GACs. When a player wins, their GAC points increase and they move up in position. When they lose subtract GAC points. End of a championship rewards are based on total GAC points.

    It was fixed for the exhibition... this is not a exhibition, it's the real official GAC.

    I think i am very disappointed... so it will still be possible for a 4.7 mio player to win kyber div 1 with medium speed mods abd medium cooked toons as seen last round? Wow.
    I would recommend that at least the name championship is renamed following from toady to GA roulette. This is definetly not what i was looking for . Still completely obsure and non-transparent algorithm on matchmaking, still not clear what is the cg definition of "best player". Anorher pr desaster. Very unsatisfactory.

    You're confusing best "roster" with best "player". Beating up on someone due to a huge roster edge doesn't make you a better "player"...it just means you have a better roster. The reality is that with only 12 matches per GAC event, some people are going to get better draws on matchmaking and some are going to get worse draws....and mods have never been part of matchmaking (other than what they contribute to a character's GP), nor should they. However, over time, the luck of the draw in matchmaking should tend to even out so that the cumulative overall Championship Score should be a better indicator than the score from only one GAC event.

    Anyone noticed the 5 minutes matchmaking countdown? I thought maybe they are doing something new. Then the league formed about 1 minutes afterwards and countdown went away.
  • GAC CANCELLED... well that's one way to fix a slew of errors upon kickoff. Anyone have faith it will work next time and that bugs will actually be fixed?

    I think they should have let this run because there are probally more undiscovered bugs like people incorrectly being set to 0 points and still some cross division going on but they pulled the plug before any new bugs could be seen...

    Looks like he cleared all combat already. I know combat doesn't start until tomorrow.... there appears to be a bug where lots of people are a day behind or ahead of everyone else (yes I'm guessing here). Potentially he joined on saturday with others, set defenses yesterday, attacked today and got 1,000 bonus points at some point as well.

    So we get 150 crystals for our troubles? What if my troubles was refreshing fleet arena for the feat then realizing its squad arena and refreshing 3 times there to get the feat knocked out. That’s 300 crystals, I get that was my choice but the reason they open feats a day early is to get crystals out of players like me. At least I get half back I guess.

    Why would you pay to refresh a feat on day 1 when you have 7 days to accomplish it?

    Isn't that wasting your own Crystal's? You dont get anything extra for doing it on day 1 so why spend the refreshes?

    Seems like a very bad decision on your part to rush to complete a 7 day challenge in 1 day for no benefit.

    Yeah, I know. I was bored and had the crystals, pretty sure I acknowledged that in the post. My point is lots of people did that and CG knows they will so why just the 150 crystals. It’s only 2$ so not the end of the world just pointing it out.
  • I agree lots of people waste resources on things that dont help them at all. Thanks for pointing that out I guess.

    I dont think the reason feats open a day early is specifically to trick people into spending a bunch of Crystal's on something that doesn't matter.

    I think feats open early so you can have a extra day to do the combats and complete the feat WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND REFRESHES.

    Your correlation of fleets opening early as a reason to get Crystal's out of players lacks logic.

    seems your on a crusade here so I’ll give you some context, I only drop to the teens in arena overnight. To make the feats easier I put in a crap team to drop down low enough that I can get the 15 battles on my climb. It’s for convenience and I’m sure lots of others do the same. One day I will have the patience of a saint like yourself, until then I’ll spend the 2$ in crystals to get it done in one shot rather than 2 battles a day. Sorry to have inconvenienced you with my frustration.

    Still not receiving any credit for fleet arena wins. I see there going to give us some Crystal and GAC credits but are they going to fix the feat or at least take it off the board as it is not working.
