I'll bet they will tell us."Redapple;c-1883435" wrote:
Yo Crumb, please fix the mod swap glitch people are using before GAC opens. That bug challenges the authenticity of the ranking/rewards system. Cheaters and good GA players both get rewards and better rankings the way it stands... thanks hope this gets sorted out!
They have already said they have a fix for this that will be implemented with the title update."Fatal;c-1883434" wrote:
I sincerely hope that GP division isn't a major factor in what rewards you receive. Ignoring bad investments in the game shouldn't be penalized, I shouldn't have to choose between dumping credits into something worthwhile (mod farming) or bad characters I'll never use (more competitive GP rewards).
I'd like the ability to opt into higher GP Divisions if I accept the challenge.
Also, please elaborate on the size of GP Divisions.
The way I understood it, GP is only used as a baseline for the first bracket, and even then under heavy scrutiny during the exhibition matches.
If you win, you advance regardless of GP. If you keep advancing, you will keep going up in brackets.
You opt in by winning but this design sounds like it will do what you ask for."DarthBrobdignagian;c-1883552" wrote:

The original article directly states "since a higher GP division means better rewards""Fatal;c-1883434" wrote:

You have that ability already, you can build up your GP.
Also there is no way you can clear 10-12 full G12 modded teams and still place 10-12 teams that will hold on defense. Thats what it takes at 4-5m GP. Top divisions will require +100 characters at useable levels which is impossible to have if you only have 1.2m GP.
Essentially your asking to opt into a higher division & get dominated just to get the better rewards."John_Matrix1985;c-1883401" wrote:

Right? Literally the one thing I expected to see.."Kantouch;c-1883568" wrote:
Really scared of y’all determining rewards based on “what you think is needed at X GP bracket”. I may only be 1.2m GP but that doesn’t mean I don’t need g12+ gear rewards less than someone at 4-5m. Sure, I may still need holoprojectors but you bet I don’t want them when I win kyber league GAC. I can pay the 300 crystals for then from shipments. Give the little guys the big rewards, too. @CG_Carrie @CG_SBCrumb
I get you, but you do have to realize there is no way to tailor rewards to suit every single player. With so many players, they have to look at averages, and if you're an outlier, you're going to have to accept that you may not get exactly what you need.- I'm probably going to ignore this time waster. It all sounds super stressful and pressure is building to do your utmost - which goes against the grain of an enjoyable game play. I don't play PvP modes in other games either!
- Wow, GAC is so close now! And we still have a chance to get 48* in dstb before geotb kicks in. Nice.

CG have responded in a fair way.
If you increase your GP, you will be facing other powerful accounts with all the toys.
If you have low GP you will face other players with less toys.
This argument is so completely wrong, it is very depressing. I have high GP because all of my toons are modded, usually at least GVII or GVIII, leveled to 85, with abilities at 7. Lobot. Not a GA toon. JKG. Not a GA toon. Tusken Raider. Not a GA toon etc. These are broken toys. Sandbaggers keep GP low by not leveling/gearing these characters or by hitting a minimum power level so they are counted but skew their average.
GP IS A BRAIN-DEAD WAY TO COMPARE ROSTERS. You could do anything slightly more complicated - weigh meta toons more highly, weigh higher gear levels more highly, weigh meta toon speed deltas (for a really fair match), weigh zeta'd toons more highly - and come up with a better matching metric. "Oh, but GP takes those into account!" - nope, not enough for a comparable competitive metric.
That's exactly the intention with new matchmaking system, whether it'll achieve it somewhat or really fall short of it is another question though. Read the new announcement posts?
