Grand Arena Championships MEGATHREAD

The overview video locked up my system. Had to hard reboot.

Do you get demoted for losing?

EDIT:
Seems fantastic and I’m looking forward to it

No, you cannot get demoted during a season

Do we revert back to Carbonite league every season? How long is a season?

Will this all be 5v5? Or will we get some 3v3 (my favorite).
Ships?
Also you really need to look at heros and legendary toons as part of the match making process. A player with Cls as their best toon has zero chance against Revan, Drevan/Malak and Treya no matter how many g12 zeta toons they have.

Okay, my big question is what is the purpose of feats? They look to be additional tasks inside/outside of GA that provide goodies and points towards ranking up. Is the purpose of the feat system to allow players that hit a roadblock due to skill/mods/Malak to keep getting rewards? If so that would alleviate one of my biggest concerns about the championship, namely that non-whale players will eventually hit a roadblock where they cannot climb and be forced to settle.

I would definitely enjoy knowing more about this particular part of the system.

Yea great... Another frikken whale-fest... Thanks for again designing a system that completely caters to the whales and krakens.

Doesnt matter who you are, eventually you're going to hit the whales.. And likely going to be mid ground.. The last tiers that will be the g12 finishers will be completely unaccessible to 95% of player base... Thanks again for not listening to the community and wasting our damn time..

Do you all litterally sit around a table and think of ways to deliberately piss off the community? Your sub base is down, your revenue base is down, you've taken away GA from June entirely, there is minimal if no endgame content for veteran players, and this bull is your answer?...

Me like.

Can we stop this nonsense right now? GA is the worst thing to be added since pvp tournaments. It's fine if you want give people something to compete in but remove all rewards and just grant titles and stupid crap like that. That way people that hate your stupid mini TW aren't forced to play it.

It’s great that you’re so vocal about your opinion. Unfortunately, I think you’re in the vast minority. GA is an awesome mode that allows(allowed?) newer players to expedite their growth, older players to enjoy individual competition, and community members to showcase their matches for all to see. I hope you can grow to love this mode as most do.

Do you realize that only the minority of players actually visit the forum and pipe up about liking GA. Who are you so say most love it and only few dont? Thats good that you do but not everyone shares your enthusiastic veiw. While Im at it I dont like GA either. My whole guild doesnt like it.

So because you and, according to you, your whole guild dislike therefore the marjority of players dislike GA too? That is one really silly argument.
CG has the actual data to back them up, so if they are expanding the Grand Arena i dare to say their numbers likely indicate a lot of players are participating on it, enough to justify this new PVP mode.

@CG_SBCrumb

Without demotion, does that mean that your league resets at the beginning of each championship or does everyone eventually end up in Kyber?

Weren't tournaments using Global leaderboards?

I’m thinking that the 4 weeks and 1 week review is going to be a season

Each week you will advance a league

So every season you start from Carbonite and attempt to reach Kyber and then you get your Payout

It’s like starting an arena shard at rank 10,000 and trying to reach 1 in 4 weeks to get best arena payout and then restarting the process

It would be more in-line with what Crumb said here,

Hitting Kyber League is incredibly challenging and will require the player to win most or all of their Grand Arena rounds, play efficiently and optimize their GA Banner count, and complete Feats. (Obviously, players who make it to Kyber League during a Championship will receive the biggest reward payout.)

If true my only concern would be feats themselves like “Use separatists and win” mostly because it’s unfair gauge of the best of the best

I like sep teams on defense and being forced to use them on offense or other defensive teams or placing offense teams on defense might be an issue and it’s not F2P friendly and it’s going to alienate and cause division

Imagine being told to use a pure Resistance team on defense or so
