Capital Games please fix these two issues.
Issue 1
For a long time now, I believe over a year, there have been accounts sitting in the different leagues/divisions that do not belong there. Some kind of error has placed these accounts in those leagues, and it looks like they never get “demoted” to a lower league. Grand Arena is one of two game modes where performance can earn you daily crystals making this demoralizing to those of us who are in the correct league/division and receiving the rewards we earned watch as these accounts are “gifted” what amounts to an unfair advantage due to this error.
Issue 2
Fleet Arean is broken. Some of the fleet shards are very active and some are not. Some fleet shards have a group that is receptive to new accounts climbing to the top and some do not. This creates the same type of unfair advantage for those players in dead shards or with cooperative groups as the Grand Arena issue described above. Some possible solutions are listed below.
Possible Solution 1
Add a 60 second cool down after your fleet was on defense that allows you to attack so you can try to gain that position back. This would make it more difficult for those groups to repeatedly attack you essentially “locking” you up from attacking/climbing.
Possible Solution 2
Mask all player data in Fleet Arena. Make it so all you can see is the position you are attacking and the fleet. Mask the player’s name, profile picture, ally code, fleet GP, pilot details, relic level, mods, guild name, title, etc. This would make it difficult for those groups that coordinate to identify each other. I know they could put their current position in their Discord chat, but if it was set up so they could not use a bot to mine this data it would provide an opportunity for all players to climb to their highest position for a payout. It might just cause people to spend more crystals protecting their position which is a money maker for CG.
Possible Solution 3
Change the Leviathan mirror matches. It is silly that you can win every attack and will lose every defense, unless you make a mistake since RNG plays no part. You could allow us to set the order that reinforcements are deployed, you could allow us to set the order that ship abilities are used in. Add some chance or strategy back to the mirror.
Possible Solution 4
Let us turn off the autofill of the reinforcement slots. Maybe I do not want to take all five reinforcements but making us deselect them when we are trying to get in an attack provides an opportunity for us to be attacked or miss out on the target we have selected since they may have started another match during that slight delay.
Possible Solution 5
Periodically shuffle up the shards. Keep active accounts together and base it on total GP of all ships in the account.
Possible Solution 6
In the off week of Grand Arena have a form of Ship Arena that determines your daily payout until the next Ship Arena.
Some will say just change your payout time. I have and, 1 or 2 members of the group that have a strangle hold on the shard I am in have the same payout time as I do. I have tried to communicate to them that I am only looking to place in the top 10 and maybe 5th place if it lines up. I am not looking to move anybody from their “spot”. The fact that I have called a “spot” here is the problem. Players would not be able to coordinate their Grand Arena “spot” in this way. These are just suggestions, and I am sure there are other players who have better ideas than these. These ideas may have flaws of their own but the original statement that Fleet Arena is broken and needs a change remains true.
