An idea to improve GAC time dramatically
I'm not sure about the rest of the playerbase, but one of my biggest gripes about Grand Arena (and Grand Arena Championship) is the defense phase being 24 hours long.
Issue: Players have to wait a day after one battle before being able to do the next
I understand because the game is global there is no way to reduce the timer. What I am proposing is something different. What my solution is getting rid of defense set phase, allowing us to shorten GAC by more than half. I'll go into more detail by what I mean, we aren't completely eliminating the defense period, per se
The idea is that you set defenses before your first opponent, and you have access to Defense Set Feature that lets you adjust what defense you would like to place against your next opponent before you know who you will be paired up against
I know some players like to set defenses according to who they are going against, but by doing this we can eliminate 2 days of waiting, and I think your defense should be adjusted to any team. The other thing is, by looking at the points of others in the bracket, you can pretty much guess (binary elimination) who your potential next round opponents will be
The idea is you had a defense option next to feats
Make the tabs divided into three equal parts instead of two as it is now
On clicking the Defense Tab, you get this screen:
Basically you can set or CHANGE your defenses anytime during the attack period until you are paired up with your next opponent. What this would do is:
Day 1: Players join, and wait to be placed in the bracket
Day 2: Defense period (24 hours)
Day 3: Battle first opponent
Day 4: Battle second opponent
Day 5: Battle third opponent
------
Week 1 ends and its time for a new set of 8 players
Day 6: Defense period
Day 7: Attack (1/3)
Day 8: Attack (2/3)
Day 9: Attack (3/3)
There is more active GAC going on since you are battling every day rather than having an off day and instead of taking 5 weeks for GAC, its shorten down drastically
The biggest drawback is that the devs would need to redo the feats aspect, like instead of 15 fleet battles per week, reduce it to 7 battles in 4 days or something to that effect
Interested in hearing if people dislike the 24 hour defense period in between, which is much worse when your opponent doesn't participate or you quickly get your attacks in
EDIT: Defense Tab can be used to change your defenses on the fly to use that defense for the next opponent. Its available 24 hours during the attack phase
