So I’m just here to ask if anyone else is experiencing the same issues I am facing in grand arena championship. I understand that we all will have to face players that are out of our league sometimes, that’s part of it. I’m currently questioning if matching making is having issues do to my current bracket. I am one of two players in division 4 while all the others are division 3 and range from 700k- 1 million GP higher. Logically a player with a full 1 million GP would have a clear advantage unless they fluffed their roster. Well there isn’t much fluff in seeing here lol. So just asking the community if what I’m seeing is an isolated experience or if others are seeing people with a tremendous GP advantage and being in a bracket with all players from a higher division. I also didn’t come in 1st place for my last two brackets. Went 2-1 both times if that helps understand why I’m a bit confused.

i'm more concerned that it doesn't appear to take into account W/L or GAC ranking...i'm in another group that shouldn't have any issues being beat by me...at what point thru a championship do you actually start facing opps with the same success as you?...granted i like the easy matches but kinda defeats the championship idea if everyone in my group has losses and i don't

4th gac running I don't stand a chance. I'm 4.1 mil, FTP, won 80℅ of matches when it was just ga. I've 1 g13, the next lowest has 7. All have g13 malak, all in division 1 while I'm in 2 and all, at the very least , have 600k more gp than me.

GAC is starting to look like a failed experiment, imho. Match-up algorithm has major weaknesses, there apparently is no "ladder" - type algorithm (it's just a series of disconnected GA rounds). Rewards are weak and feats feel pasted on and sometimes are completely disconnected from GAC anyway.A very sad missed opportunity for a fun game mode. Instead it's jyst kind of a "meh" waste of time.

I don’t think that is as unbalanced as it may appear, the chances of someone having a a squad I truly can’t beat aren’t a concern. what my question is asking, are others experiencing large GP disparity and/or being the only member placed in a bracket of all players in a higher division. I’ve beat people much better than me and I’ve lost to people worse than me. It happens. I’m purely inquiring about how close your peers are to you in a given bracket. Mine seemed to have a larger gap than one would expect.I have found this to be true. The effective "range" between the strongest and weakest roster in my GAC bracketa have been significantly wider than GA was.

Also knowing have the forums work lol I want to say this is not necessarily a complaint, I’ll face who ever gets thrown my way idc if they have g13 darth revan or whatever. More so looking to see if others are having a similar match making experience.

I have my worst matchmaking yet. Out of the 8 of us, half have at least 1 Revan, the other half have none. Guess which half I fall into.

I'm in division 1 and I'm currently at 4.6 million GP. I went 1-2 in both rounds so far, and am still facing people that have anywhere from 5.2 to 5.5 million GP. It's not just you. The new matchmaking system is awful.

I was ready to leave the game because of it, but have been assured that the matchmaking will be looked at after this round is over, so I'm staying until the next GAC occurs. If I have the same issue for the next GAC, then I'm out for good.

I’m also in division 4, and five guys in my bracket are in division 3. Matchmaking looks good for me though since only one of those div 3 guys looks like a threat.

It seems the Matchmaking doesn't account for actual g13 toons and since the GP increase is so small it won't affect the top 65-80 toons they use for Matchmaking GP.

Very isolated to only you.
