Grand Arena Championships – GP Divisions [MEGA]

I'm just going to go with the flow and do my best wherever they put me. Just like before. There will always be a stronger team than you. If this process is even somewhat improved from before then that's a good start.

At first I thought that was something that needed fixing but the more I think about it the more reasonable it is.my situation for example, I am just barely in division one. If all I faced were other division 1 players, everybody would have a higher GP than me. at least this way there's a better chance I will have some even matches or God forbid enjoy an advantage once in awhile.

You're wrong.
If you face an opponent from another division (lower) you automatically get LESS points, than people from your division fighting with people from the same division.

In this event, it's all about getting points and getting promoted to higher leagues. If you have fewer points then you have less chance of promotion, and this is synonymous with BORROWER prizes.

No you don't have less chance. What you lose from setting defences can be made up in winning on offence. If you set 8 but have no chance of beating a squad, overall you'll lose points compared to setting 6 on defence and actually have a chance of beat squads, winning territories and winning the match up. Think of the big picture......

It can not be made up on offense. This needs to be fixed. I cleared all 6 battles all 6 with undermanned squads and still had 500 points less than others in my same division, some who have much less character total GP than I do.

Hmm so I've not read all of the post here, but we are returning to matching by gp with FLEET while there are no fleet battles right? Divisions does not take that into account.

That's cool :). Love to make some orbital bombardment unfortunately my ships will stay in the hangar.

Or maybe I missed something in all those messages?

Who are you to decide how the game is intended to be played?

A paying customer?

Paying customer? That doesn't let you decide everything lol.

I can go into Burger King and demand to buy a puppy as a paying customer, but it's not gonna get me anywhere.

This would ensure no cross division GA matchups which is good if that's what Erik post means.

Cross division play was a progression problem since it penalized players who heavily invested in ships by limiting their division progression by giving them less character combat to do compared to other players with the same total gp who ignored ships completely.

Neglecting a game mode completely should not be rewarded. That's like paper zombie but for a whole mode of the game.

I am a 4.5 mill GP player who was just put in a bracket with two 5.3 mill GP players and five 5mill GP players!?! Makes no sense CG! I hope this is a bug.

I am 2.9M Gp vs a 3.6M Go. We are division 4 and 3 mix in the same table. Is that normal ?

What is happening now? Normally GP difference is really minimal (even in the last cancelled GA), but now the range is extremely large. Please fix this !?!

I just posted this in another thread. The GAC matchup algorithim is worse than the old one.

The person I am against in round 1 has 220k more character GP than me (2.882 million to 2.661 million). Has a 7*, g12+5 Malak (I don't have Malak at all). Mod-wise he has:
68 15+speed mods to my 36.
57 100+offense mods to my 26.

This is not an improvement. This is far worse than any matchup I have ever faced in any previous GA. It's not better - it's worse. @CG_SBCrumb Please have them fix this game mode - especially if this is going to be the long term "dominant" mode to replace arena.

That's roughly a 10% higher GP and double the number of good speed and offense mods. If that's "fixed" can we go back to broken please?

Having issues also. Multiple players in my division have GP well above the posted limit for division 4
