Grand Arena was suppose to be a battle to determine who was the best player in the entire Galaxy of Heroes, and we were told it was going to be purely competitive with no bonuses or interference, which is why TW had Vanilla and special bonusesWith Feats, you are micromanaging our gameplay and forcing us to farm squads / toons for better rewardsRather than use our entire roster against another, you are forcing us to use certain toons (separatists or Galactic Republic). What if I want to use my best GR on defense?It also opens up predatory quests like "Use Darth Revan" or other exclusive toons on defense / offense which is very unfair for a game mode aimed to pit all players at an equal footing to determine the best of the bestIt would be nice if Feats were optional for titles or portraits, but instead it seems necessary to obtain new currency or advance leaguesOn paper it sounds awful, and I don't see it doing better in execution. I hope to be wrong about it though

Nothing at all wrong with your opinion, but I disagree. I think they sound like fun.

Is it weird that I agree and disagree at the same time.I agree that what we were told and what we are being given is two different things. I was under the belief that the winner would be the one with best roster/staregy. Giving bonus stats through feats doesnt necessarily make this true anymore.That being said most ultra competitive people will also be the ones that are trying to complete the feats. So most likely they will still end up being the winner anyway.That being said, I am happy for me cause I dont give a rotten potato about grand arena and now grand arena arena so I am happy for the opportunity and extra coinage.

Yep, don't like this at all. Some of the Feats are for Squad and Fleet Arena....why are they counting points towards the Championship Score for things that aren't even part of GA?

i see boosting in the future. Chats created and teams placed for purpose of collecting feats rewards.

Feats contradict the purpose of Grand Arena

Didn’t the quests already do that to an extent?

They’ve been micromanaging our gameplay for a while. God forbid we find a combination not intended to be good.

Finally, if you’re using your whole roster instead of playing for efficiency then you’re doing it wrong anyway.

I don’t get the impression they are important to complete. It says they make up a small percentage of the score. Small is a subjective term, so we will have to wait and see how essential they are.

As for your example, I just think it’s a good thing the game is encouraging me to use something I normally wouldn’t, and rewarding people who can do so.

Again, I think your opinion is completely justified, and I’m not trying to say you are wrong or convince you otherwise. Just sharing a different opinion.

Yes - exactly this. I don't mind the idea of feats, they don't appear to interfere with the win/loss of individual battles, only the league progression.
But why on earth are non-GA activities included?

Expectations...were too high?

Sorry, I had to say it.
