Grand Arena Championship abuse

i could complete that feat and i dont abuse any systems.

The GAC lasts for a month. It's not reasonable to lock people out of using roster improvements for an entire month, and a lot of people are going to cross the border between divisions just through natural play without abusing anything.

There is one giant flaw in the way the GAC is built, and that is that Division and GA Lock does not happen at the same time.. therefor you can be locked into a division, then climb into the next one between the locks.. and by that setting one more team on defence every single round than everyone else within your division.. which makes it alot easier to finish feats and gives u an extra 150 score per match..

Since there is plenty if cross-division matching, the time of locks is irrelevant.

Do you only have 4 teams to set in your division? I didn’t realize any of them went that low.

U can get about 3700 more or less points than your competition over a GAC based on how many battles the game decides you get to do. This is caused by cross division matchmaking but cross division would be ok as long as the number of battles did not change.

Currently someone in division 5 can get extra points by being matched vs div 3 or 4 therefore winning the rng draw. Cg gives them 450 extra points (vs others in div 5) on defense and offense over the 3 rounds of GA if they go undefeated.

Or sometimes (based on the difference in GP) the game defaults to the div 5 player's number of defenses. in that case the opponent from div 3 or 4 gets penalized because they get 450 less max points (vs others in div 3 or 4) for winning their GA if they go undefeated.

The point difference grows to 925 per GA when battles change from 6 to 8 instead of 5 to 6 at mid level divisions.

Horrible design.

Also just one cross division match for anyone in division 1 or 2 is enough to guarantee they do not make kyber league even if they go undefeated and win all 4 GA and clear every board.

If someone wins every battle, every tournament, does every feat, then misses the top league because the game matched that player vs a div 3 opponent who had no ships and therefore less total gp. That's broken 100%. They won everything 80 battles 12 opponents and won all 4 GA but could be thousands of points behind others in their division who lost but just got more opportunity to set more defenses.

No incentive to spend or build or even try, the game decides who succeeds and fails based on matchmaking (max score possible).

It is good to abuse the system anyway

I started, and will finish, in Division 3. I will have no problem completing that feat unless I encounter some truly ridiculous defenses.

Only in Div 7 is this a problem where the rest of us cant finish it at all..

if u actually read what im saying, im not saying u should be locked for 1 month.. im saying there should be LESS locking, you are locked to a division for 1 month, but your roster isnt.. im saying you should be able to change division, but only climb up and not drop down..

Not true at all.. you set teams according to lowest division.. but if u cross u are able to set a higher amount of teams than u should..

Indeed, Division 11-7 only set 4 teams.

I can see how this is a major problem, but this is only RNG.. and cant be abused, The problem im displaying can easily be abused.. and is currently being abused by 50+ in my division.

since none of the people commenting understand the actual problem il explain better.

In division u can set 4 defensive teams, which is the minimum. If i get paired with someone in Division 1 we both still only set 4 teams (you follow the rules of the underdog), Div 7 goes from 1.35m - 1.59m GP..
On day1 of GAC when i get placed in division my gp is 1.58m i get placed in Division 7. If i then cross over to 1.6m+ during the GA lock (weekly roster lock), if i then get paired with someone from division 6-1 i will be able to set 5 teams. Because the mechanism that decides how many teams u set goes by GP, and not the actual Division.
