Grand arena is a joke

Why is there a time limit for each battle like arena? The opponent doesn't have to wait for you to finish to take their turn & the results of a "tie" are grossly unfair for the attacking member. At the end of time, I had a full squad & the defending squad was down to 1. Going forward however, that one toon still had to be beaten, yet my entire squad was nullified from further use. It's kittens.

You should be able to use the team until you are defeated

It's worse.

Fleet points aren’t even worth a third of squad points. The fact that I have a superior fleet doesn’t even matter. I can’t beat one meta team, and I can still lose even though My opponent can’t touch my ships. This is so poorly planned. CG keeps saying that GA is about well rounded players, but it seems to only be about squads. If fleets don’t matter, don’t make them part of the game at all.

If your opponent cant touch your ships then you should have an easy win. Put crap squads on defense and keep all your offense. Let your ship hold on defense and make sure you wipe them on offense. Even if they blaze through your other defenses, they won’t be able to make up the minimum 171 point advantage (and likely much more) you will have from the ship territory.

I love Grand Arena, thank you for this game mode.

I only see 2 things that could improve my experience :

• beeing able to know the teams that beat me as discussed in this topic
  
• make a system to prevent people for checking in and not playing (even in defense). For now, once you cliqued, you are in... and can't go out of the grand arena. I "played" 3 times with theses ghosts... not very fun.
  

This particular GA go-around is a joke. That's a whole lot of effort over 4 days for a few omegas. When zetas are on the line, sure, I'll put in effort.

Hate that fact once you use a team you cant use it again. I just hit 85 and only have 2-3 good teams, once you set def there gose all those teams then what do I have to battle with absolutely nothing. Same with ships. Problem is drop rates are garbage and it takes weeks if not month's to power up anything. With that being said maybe next year!?!?

Yeah, but it goes to the purpose of seeing the merits of your entire roster.

i'm personally a fan of ships ( yes, i'm that weird ) and my ships GP is ~1.9mil.
This GA i got matched against a guy that had almost 200k more characters GP than me. While i'm always down for a good fight numbers were 100% against me this time around. I'm not saying it's frustrating, but it's not fair... at all...

@CG_SBCrumb if you intend of maintaining this 3vs3 GA ( which is dumb in my opinion ) at least code the matchmaking to work properly, or include ships in a few territories.

Even with zetas on the line it’s just god awful, It’s an event you are both forced to play and one that punishes you for any focus not TW related.

Like, maybe if the rewards weren’t as meaningful, or if it wasn’t such a damn time sink because it changes wildly every time... but as is... it’s added weight on a game that already requires a ton of attention... but player exhaustion is good for business right?
