I know that there will be some kyber leaguers from these divisions once this GA phase ends, but it’s a joke that the biggest divisions in the game that are filled with the most loyal, long-term, and financially invested players don’t get to see kyber when there are 50+ players at this level in every other division. Seems like making the game fun for players at every level has gone sideways when this is the result. And no, I’m not complaining about my particular situation, if i win my last GA battle, I’ll hit Kyber, and, if not, I’ll have lost 3 of 12 battles and not deserve it.

I dont know the answer But can see a couple of different possibilities. First, that even though no one has made Kyber yet, there may be a lot more people really close. And in the lower divisions a lot of people have already hit it. So maybe lets see how big the spike is when its done and how it compares to the rest of the divisions. But also - the competition is fiercer at that level and there are probably a lot less g8 Phoenix and g9 FO being placed on D. So its probably just less feats being earned. I dont know the math but I could see an argument of Div 2 and 1 feats to award more points. Maybe they will get the final results then tweak.

I don't really care how many division 7 ppl make kyber. Do you feel like it somehow makes them better than say aurodium in div2? It might also be a good thing, because it won't cause as much ftp/p2p gap for early players.

The reason is two fold.1. Cross division limits scoring basically its 900 more or 900 less points but div 1 and 2 players can only be limited to 6 combat there's no cross division that gives us 10. All the other divisions get to battle up a division getting 900 bonus free points this allows them to make kyber easily with many losses. However division 1 and 2 players can not make kyber if they get more than 1 cross division (6 combat) match and that's just rng if you get matched against someone who neglected ships they could be div 3 or 4 with 3m toon go and 200k ships vs your 3m toon go and 2m ship gp in div 1.2. It's much harder to get a full 60 or 64 points to clear in division 1 and 2 when people have 80 or 120 or 175 G12 and 13 Characters all Zetad out. The way scoring works is it rewards you for being perfect so even though the biggest whales have 180 g12 they lose a character or two clearing the 40 g12 and 13 defenses. Because of the strength of great maxed defenses when rosters go over 80 characters maxed killing offensive units on defense becomes common at these high levels. This limits the score because your not clearing a 70k defense its 115k on defense. Soooo people with minimum rosters succeed in division 1 and 2 since their matchup is based on people with a similar top 80 but they are going to face 70k and 80k mid range phoenix teams because those division 2 guys only have 20 g12, but they are still div 1 and 2 so they compete against the people with 175+ g12 for score but against weaker competition.1 can be fixed by standardizing the battles or limiting cross division to divisions with same number of battles.2 cant be fixed easily its a effect of the problem caused using gp to determine matchmaking. Gp gain from level 1 to 85 is huge same with the stars from 1 to 7... but the gear which really is the base of the character doesn't really effect gp proportinately. To change this they have to make gears worth the most since a 7 star level 85 gear 1 to 7 character is basically worthless. Every single g12 character in the game will solo kill a full team of maxed out 7 star lvl 85 Zetad lvl 5 gear team. Gear and mods are what matters if u r measuring power. But gear and mods make up the smallest piece of the measuring stick which is gp. Gp works if its 2017 and g7 is the max and there's no such thing as mods, then sure gp makes sense for matchmaking. This makes sense since game was designed in 2017. But it's almost 2020 now and gear and mods impact on gp hasnt been scaled properly. 200 gp for g13 and almost doubling stats should be a red flag things went wrong a long time ago.

can somebody actually show where 'playing up' a division places more defense? the only players affected by cross divisional matches are those higher up being matched lower and not being able to do as much as others within their division....if perhaps someone has evidence contrary, show it! then make a ticket for support cuz it aint workin right...the lowest player in the group determines how many defenses are to b setnow back to op's topic....i think div 1 and 2 are working how they should....it's all the other div's that are too easy to make....its not much of a championship, more of a string of GA and accumilating points

Also my div 8 account only hit kyber when placing defenses in the very last battle. Only lost 1 match and full cleared most of my opponents. It's not "easy" to get into kyber in lower divisions. My div 8 account and my div 3 account both lost 1 battle and both hit kyber about the same time. Div 1-2 must just have more competative fights that make it more difficult to go nearly undefeated.

Im in div 2, I lost 2 matches.There was one territory that I couldnt clear and several fights I won only on 2nd or 3rd try. I did all the feats. Im 296 points away to reach kyber. If I win this round I will reach it. So it is possible with 3 losses to get into kyber. Also I dont have Malak and that is a serious disadvantage. Luckily I can beat malak teams, but most of the time not in the 1st try because I cant use my arena team here (Drevan+GMY).

You are in division 2, which explains it. In division 1, there there is almost absolute certainty that with 3 losses, you will not reach kyber.

I barely won this round (by going second) by 2 points and will just break kyber tomorrow when the results are out.

Division 2: I have lost only a single match this GA as I recall and it appears that I am going to fall just short if I full clear win this bracket today. So winning 4 of 5 brackets almost every single one a full clear is not good enough even though I have done some of the feats but had no interest in doing them all. These is no way in **** I am going to do endless squad arena and fleet arenas for this. I did the seperatist/GR ones. That should be enough with a solid winning record. You should get extra points based on final placement in the bracket in addition to the 1000 for winning the round. That would help alleviate this.

Not making it with only 1 loss seems a bit off. I am in Div 3 with 1 loss and should hit Kyber if I take 2 territories. I have had a couple of matches where I didnt get full clears and have mostly ignored feats, but I have completed around half.

Well good luck. Lets see how it shakes out after the final round.

OK, update. I choked in finals and it cost me by 550 points. So for the five weeks, I won 3 brackets and came in 2nd twice leaving only 4 total zones uncleared. I feel that is pretty solid. I did the all the feats that weren't based on arena/fleet arena wins as well (use seperatists/GR/grevious/short handed/first attempt/total zones), etc. I'm not sure what the right formula should be but I know that as competition increases it will be much harder to always clear all the zones without making it super easy for opponent. Without some extra points for getting 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc it will be near impossible at least for me and not worth effort for a few zetas. My two cents, thanks!

Lol, you think this has anything to do with being a better player? GAC is a joke, not even worth the time. The only thing it serves for is a chance to waste some time in between farming things.

You mean to tell me that people who complete Feats like the "high roller" and "fleet pilot" have anything to do with skill.. spend 1,000,000 credits, and win 8 fleet arena battles just exactly how is that indicative of an elite player?

Some feats require some skill. Some are just there to give you incentive to keep playing if you have had a string of losses. They are fine.

I was not a fan of the idea when I first read about the feats but having played these first two GAC, they have grown on me in a fungus-like fashion. I actually like the tension they create between trying to win matches and trying to score bonus points, it keeps things interesting and adds more challenge.

I completely agree. They actually encouraged me to try some things I never would have and made stronger teams because of it.
