Hello,Could we have some information about the frequency of this event ?I mean, this is a great idea, but so far, 2 oppenents, one was bugged, and the other one didn't even bother playing. So if this will by a once in a month thing, well, it seems a lot of effort for pretty much no fun. Hope this is a weekly event, considering how little time is needed to play it, with basically 2 minutes to set defenses and like 20 minutes at most for the offenses, within 48 hours. So far, the hype was equally high that it is low after testing it.

Well if GA 2.0 is like GA 1.0 hopefully enough people do not bother playing it will go the way of tournaments...(actually i was not here yet for that would have been cool to try it). Anyway Just say NO to GA !!!!!!! No on 16... er GA no on GAChant with me NO on GA no on GAEdit heh no on 16. I loved that movie booger prestley on the guitar !!!!I say no to this post.It's way too early to make blanket statements about GA, especially since we haven't even had a full one yet.

There was one month where TB broke and they made it up to us by compressing the following month to fit the missing TB in. Otherwise, it's been the same pattern for months and months, until this month.

GAs being a week long, with only 3 days of actually fighting...is way to slow.

There's plenty to do already in the game.TW is about the slowest things should get. But there is a lot more to do in TW anyway. More possible D teams to set. More attacks possible to do. Coordinating with other people takes longer...and there isn't 4 days of down time in TW.

I agree with others that it will likely be twice a month, probably on weeks where Territory Battles are running.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was twice a month, but I wouldn't expect it more than that.

I would actually expect it to just run all the time. They've talked about seasons, which would imply that they'll do 4-8 events in a row and call that a season, then take a week or two off.

However, we're still in the beta, so hard to say.

With 3 seperate 24 hr phases we could do it as much as twice per week. Give a rest day in the middle. Say, Mon-Wed, rest Thurs, Fri-Sun. No rest between the Sun and the Mon though... Unless it goes to 3 phases, rest day, 3 phases, rest day, then you would get 7 or 8 per month... I'd like it a bit more than once per week though.

Each run will take a full week. The phases will be Preview - Def 1 - Off 1 - Def 2 - Off 2 - Def 3 - Off 3 each 24h long, so seven days in total. My guess is that it will be monthly.

Sooo slow.

I’d happily play it every week, even while TW is going on, if they fix the pairing algorithm. Small time investment, interesting strategic challenges, different squad comps—it has potential to be my favorite mode.

Each event takes 1 week. So they will be hard pressed to do 8 a month :wink:

From what we heard, this will be between TWs, and may not run during TB, so they will not be running season like that, I dont believe.
