- I'm in Division 2. I have a dumb question--Am I in the second highest division, or am I in the second lowest? It seems like Division 1 would be the highest, but you never can quite tell since the round rewards are the same for each division and since 11 is a higher number than 1. Aaaanyway….

Cool. So now I'll have to inflate my roster over 3m just to get a better tier rewards. Basically, what you guys want is fluffy cannon fodder so the vets that were able to take time on their gp can smack us around. Genius.
I swear y'all will applaud CG for anything that gives you easier opponents.
….Yeah, go figure, you're going to have to actually improve your roster if you want better rewards. How brutally unfair. "Deum_Alisi1;c-1888655" wrote:

Divisions should create a long-term goal for players and their collections, so that we can reward elite GAC players regardless of the size of your collection...We don’t want the only players hitting Kyber League to be the ones with the biggest collections - younger players who consistently beat their opponents, complete Feats and optimize their play should have a shot at glory too.
The game has to change and cater for everyone.
I am going to put a big question mark on "elite" here. What you are describing is a game that caters to sandbaggers who do not play the game as intended. Sure, younger players as well but let's be real - a lot of these accounts are sandbagged or else new alt accounts which are intentionally sandbagged from the start. Feats are a different matter and may add some balance but that remains to be seen.
Like Nothingface, I have warned friends off starting this game in the past year and a half because of how frustrating that process would be.
Who are you to decide how the game is intended to be played?
Noodlehead Jones. It says it at the top of his post.

How though? how would they match us more closely than by just using GP while also dividing us into divisions based on GP.
I don't see it working as well as one might think it would work.
Regardless, matchmaking is always going to suck no matter how much it's tweaked. It will benefit some more than others.
If instead of looking at the GP of every character on your roster and instead only looking at the GP of the highest 20, 30, 40 (however many you want to go) you can match wide and skinny rosters better.
I posted in the Grand Arena subforum once showing how if you looked at pure GP, every opponent I was matched against was within 1% of mine. But if you looked at the top however many I counted (I don't remember off the top of my head what number I used, but I remember that it was the number of squads needed on defense times two, since you needed at least that many on offense.) our GPs were as wide as 10%.
Looking only at the top so-and-so many characters prevents wide rosters from being punished for their fat, and prevents skinny rosters from benefitting the lean-ness of their lowest characters.
It's probably not perfect. But it would improve things all the same. At the very, very least it would prevent situations where I saw folks who had characters with 330+ shards unactivated.- So rwds are the same in all divisions... What s the point in having a higher gp apart from getting penalized?
- Having Divisions this big is a complete nonsense.
Once you reach 4-4.5kk GP - you no longer inflate yr GP with Gear8/7* - it keeps growing due to Zetas and G12
Obviously - mixing oppponents 4 and 4.5kk means huge difference. - Is anyone else matched up with opponents that are in a higher division? What’s the point of divisions if you are going to put people with whomever. First GA I’ll be finishing in last smh
- so... a question
i run an alt character, and he's a little over 600k GP, in Division 10. Somehow, i got paired w/ a bunch of opponents in Division 9, with 300k more GP than me, there's even 1 Div 8 opponent. Isn't the very essence of having Divisions that you're paired with people IN your Division? what gives? "No_Try;c-1892633" wrote:
How's this possible? Thought only the ship feat was awarding it.
Points on set defense.- I am currently at 2.9m GP. I have 10 g12 chars and have 14 zetas. I am matched against a player with 3.6m GP with 35 zetas and 38 gear 12 chars. YOUR MATCHMAKING SUCKS CG. The division clearly shows the range of GP for division 4 to be 2.5m-3.09m GP. I WANT ANSWERS, but more important i want it FIXED. This is UNFAIR AF. Here is proof.
Thanks for the 0 zetas - Different squad number in division makes weaker players behind in number of 180 points per round that makes 540 points per GA that makes 2160 points difference per championship, that's wrong, there should be equal chances in same division
