So I've gotten rank number 1 for the first time recently several times in arena after changing my payout and quite frankly the climb up really isn't too bad between padme and the grievous nuke squad. Everyday though I have seen someone running the exact same nuke team except with less zetas, worse mods, and lower gear in squad arena. Yet everyday they seem to never get pushed out of the top 20. I have a full g12 plus all zetas high end mods nuke squad with a relic 7 grievous and I consistently get pushed back to the mid 30s and have to fight my way back at some obscure hour and waste a refresh just to get back up to the top. There's no logical explanation for why I get tagged everyday and somebody with a way worse squad sits in the same spot unless there's some underhanded stuff going on. That being said I know this has been brought up before just expressing frustration that working hard on a team means less then getting into some exclusive arena chat that allows you to not get constantly hit. This game should've moved more crystals away from squad arena a long time ago, and I would hope that along with these so called anti-cheating measures you are working on that this would be something that could be discussed and somehow monitored as well as it creates an unfair playing field for essentially what is the most necessary resource in the game, crystals.

I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help

not always so easy. I can't find find my arena shard chat. I've heard other people being told they aren't welcome to join or the chat is full. I was invited in 3 years ago, but there is no way to find the group now. I have tried multiple times.
It is a viable counter to a speed dominant team when the mod lottery has not dropped you endless 25+ speed mods
OP you might be stepping on people's toes who are climbing at the same time as you. Reaching out to others might help but it doesn't take a lot to annoy the shard chat and they may not be up for the brash newcomer. Especially with only GG as the viable climbing tool.
Don’t get me wrong I love cheap FTP teams - my Teebo team may still be lowest (comparative to the meta) gear team to regularly get to first so I get it. But none of these trick teams have longevity for very long
I literally moved my payout time to 5am just to make sure I wasn't hitting anybody at their normal times
I run two separate teams, the gg nuke squad and a relic padme gk relic 7 anakin galactic republic team and it doesn't matter which one I leave up on defense. I also see people running padme teams with lower gear and worse mods who aren't getting pushed back like I am. You're telling me that both grievous and padme are cheap inviable teams?
An established system for all pay-outs and the ability to change our pay-out time has made arena a much, much more userfriendly experience.
Either way, it's pretty irrelevant as it won't change. Your best bet is to try and reach out to the others and ask them about their payout times and tell them yours. Let them know you hadn't intentionally bumped anyone on their climb. And hope that they are good guys / gals and play ball with you.
Good luck.
If they'd do this, half the community would simply go away, I can guarantee you. No only ftp, but most dolphins as well. Why? coz other then that, there's no other stable crystal income that can help you upgrade your squad and no reason to get new characters. Or you want to propose dolphins to whale harder?))))
GA? At division-1 simply whaleland
Not sure you have the capability to read the entire post. I moved my payout to 5am which is the aforementioned obscure hour. The only time I do climb is right around my payout other than that I don't touch anyone all day. Your previous comment also doesn't make sense. The post suggested having another stable source of crystals, not completely removing them from arena and leaving everyone with nothing as that literally doesn't even make sense. I fail to see a valid point presented on either end.
Should we change the name of the game to Galaxy of Circle Jerking then? I'm supposed to pander to this type of behavior when I don't support it? This isn't instagram or Facebook. They built a separate mode in game if you want to team up with other to take people down, why take the game mode that is supposed to prove your capability as an individual and turn it into a social contest?
Why did you change your pay-out if the game mode is supposed to prove your capability as an individual? Seems to me you just wanted to be the only individual battling at that time...
I changed my payout to try to make sure I wasn't hitting anybody at their normal payout times as I assumed the reason I was getting pushed back was because I must have been hitting somebody and they decided they didn't like it.
Exactly my point. You can't say you dislike shardchats because it's supposed to be a FFA contest, but justify changing pay-out slot to face less competition. It's all the same.
Like i said before, before shardchats arena was mayham. Getting pushed back, sniped and locked out was normal. Back then you couldn't change pay-out, so you were forced to battle the same players for the same spot every day.
You are most likely to be hitting somebody(s) in the chat.
I'm in a chat. We let go of anyone not in the chat as long as they show some awareness of the flow of others. The ones that are rampaging directly to the top over others will upcoming payouts get retailation. Even if you don't get in the chat, you have a chance to stick around my mapping out others behaviour.
on the other hand if you want to keep messing with other peoples payout then why come here crying when they mess with yours?
its a 2 way street either show your willing or dont
You are really confused aren't you? You are trying to say that me moving my payout time is the exact same behavior that they are showing which is incorrect. I was forced to move because I have people around me who are collaborating to push me out. I didn't proactively contact other players to try to stonewall somebody from a payout. I am facing an equal amount of competition whether my payout is at 5am or at 5pm, the only thing that changed was whether me getting my payout was affecting someone else getting theirs at their chosen time.
