Grand Arena Championships – GP Divisions [MEGA]

Could someone who knows for sure please tell me exactly where the boundary between Division 3 and Division 2 is? The game lists Division 3 as 3.1M to 3.79M GP and Division 2 as 3.8M to 4.49M GP. So where, for example, would a player with 3.795M GP fall?

I'm not sure where this goes, and honestly don't have the patience to read thru all the posts. I just had a question about GAC. This last round just played (3 of 3), I had a higher GP 4.6K vs 4.1K and we each defeated 5 of each others squads taking 2 1/2 territories on the same number of tries. Yet, he scored more points? The scoring still seems to be off. shouldn't I have won due to the tie and higher GP?

If he scored more points than why do you say you were tied?

If he scored more points then it wasn't a tie? He could have gotten more points by having more surviving/full health/protection units, or by using one or more undersized squads.

So this may have been answered in one of the previous questions. Im in Division 5 and need 5 teams on Defence. Before championships i remember there was a chart that said that after you pass 2.75 mil gp you have to put out another squad. Division 4 starts at 2.5mil. So has this been changed to go by Division? or does it still remain the same (I.E. does a 2.5mil player now require 6 squads on Defence as opposed to before 2.75mil)?

I don’t believe that GP should be a factor in matchups at all. You match people randomly at first, and then you let their performances dictate who they get matched up with next. You might even just be able to look at championship points alone for matchmaking after a while. You structure events so that they’re long enough to ultimately have the best players squaring off against each other, and you structure rewards so that no one wants to lose on purpose. In other words, let the actual performance in the event dictate matchups... not weakly-associated factors like GP or top 12 to 16 squads.

Yeah, the matchmaking would be VERY rocky to start out with. But eventually, it will sort itself out organically and with little effort. And new players would have trouble at first, of course. But eventually they would settle in, too.

The Divisions are nonsensical and unnecessary—especially when there are so many interdivisional matchups already. And the current format where we’re in a group of eight for each round is much too limiting if matchmaking is an important concern.

But hey, I’m a math guy... not a corporate game guy or a computer guy. Hopefully everything will start to make more sense once we’re through with all of the exhibition.

Indeed thats no sense to make divisions since in all GACs i was the only div 2 player against 7 players from div 1

With the old match making I usually went 2-1, I never went 0-3 or 3-0 and there were times I went 1-2; and I really enjoyed it.

Currently I am 0-6 and every opponent I have faced has had a G13 Malak on DEFENSE which I am yet to defeat a single toon on that team (I don't have Malak), I have yet to lose a match by less than 600 points.
I am 4.6m facing opponents in the 4.8m-5m range

I just have a question about GA championship matchmaking. I am on division 8 but my oppenents on GAC are from division 5, 6, 7. Is this a bug? Or is this how it works? Thanks

Most probably he used undersized team to beat on of you defense and because of that he earned a higher banner. That is what i am doing.
