GA Fleet Battles.

Just putting this in here to vent, but, Who actually like the fleet battle section of the Grand Arena? i mean, both players will put their best team on defence and then stalemate it. It was pointless last time, it's pointless now. I mean if there were mulitple viable teams that were easier to farm and gear up it would be ok, but thats not the case. anyone who has a AA team with HT and HMF are just unbeatable until people finally get GK's Negotiator which takes 90 years to unlock.

Just a wee rant, played the game for nearly 4 years now, and its beginning to look like the end for many people because of stupid decisions.

Anyway what are your thoughts?
  • Number of debuffs, at 2 or less they stick, at 3 or over they cleanse. Part of the kit.
  • I'm more than happy they finally added Fleets to the GAC. It forces people to adapt and helps to balance matchup for those that get put in a higher divison just because of a high fleet GM. Would even appreciate if fleets would be in the front row.
    Also, there are no special issues about GAC fleet battles, that are not already present in regular fleet arenas. Someone with a Negotiator and strong GR ships will have an advantage compared to someone who has not, nothing special here.

    You are of a small percetage who actually enjoy ships then, as the general consensus from friends who play the game, youtubers, those in my guild is that Ships in both ship arena, and GAC are not loved by anyone. I obviously understand there are those of you out there who love it, but i believe most don't.

    See the contradiction? Your own opinion aswell as the opinion of your friends and guild and some youtube kids are defenitely not the general consensus, that's just a ridicoulus small database. Basicly it's just a couple of mind-like people and your personal assumption.

    adding in something that has no depth to it and there are only a few permutations that you can run is incredibly dull. stuck with either mirror matches, or you have been one of those guys who are in a top guild and hoarded your GET2 currency to get the negotiator.

    At present there are too many things going on for actual squads to really consider ships. not to mention the grind of having to gear up pointless characters like bistan,

    Plz don't talk about depth in this rock-paper-scissors(-bazooka for whales and krakens) game, there's as much depth or no depth in fleets as in regular fights. Fighting the same few meta teams over and over again is just as dull.
    At least fleets can reward those who actually invested in something else but the current meta and maybe shows all those Revan and *add the current fotm here* sheep, that there's more to Star Wars.

    P.S.: no, I don't have a Negotiator nor will have it anytime soon
  • God I hate fleets in GAC. If you don't have both GK & Ackbar capital ships with decent teams you almost always lose. And if you lose a match, you thought pre loaded TM in normal matches was bad? Pfft. And then as a nice big juicy extra middle finger to the players base, they take the zeta it out the rewards for 1st place? WHY? And why can't all the capital ships be at least somewhat useful/ competitive? If you lose with your 1 decent fleet, you will then lose with the other 3, probably only getting to call in a single reinforcement in 4 battles. THERE'S ONLY 5 OF THEM!!!! And most people still don't have the new one. But if you do, when then everyone can just kiss your...
