Leave GA alone

First off let me go ahead and say people are going to hate this post, i write it with that understanding. Grand Arena is a place for people to test themselves vs people that have the same GP. GP is your overall power in the game. This can be misleading because if your one of these people that play this game as if pvp doesnt exist, and you just want alot of people people at 7 stars. If that's your plan, don't plan on pvp being your area of fun in the game. Grand Arena is the PINNACLE of pvp. You vs someone of almost the exact GP you have. What a wonderful thiing for someone like myself that strives to test myself vs my peers. In todays society, everyone wants to feel like a winner....This can NEVER be the case. Some people must lose and some must win. In a sport if you want to become top of your peers, you practice. You study your game, find out what makes the best, the best. And if you do, and apply yourself to that goal, you will become good. Maybe not a pro, but you will be good at your chose craft. This can be applied to SWGOH. If you chase the meta, you will stay competitive, if you decide to work on old teams that have fallen behind, expect the same rsults, you will fall behind. Reworks help catch up players like this but in swgoh there is another perspective, gear level. If you fail to go to g12 with your characters, your runnign into battle with half a sword and and a broken shield. Why would you do this? It does not make sense...Then people complain how they arent competitive? "I cant win a match because im 4m GP and only have 7 g12 characters......WHAT A JOKE. Bottom Line-Stop complaining and do your research. Get your teams to max level and work on sith raid teams to get to the best rewards. A NOTE for @CG_Carrie Please dont let this new GA rework hurt those of us who have put money into this game to get to a competitive spot above our GP. I win most of my GA bouts because i have spent more $(which keeps your running) and done more research, video watching, and preperation than most of those at my gp, i still have competitive matches but i dont want to be forced to fight people higher than me just because i focus my roster, speed mods make all the difference, the higher gp you have, the most times you have been able to get lucky with a good speed mod. GP is an investement of time and money, keeping GA based on that is the best way to keep it even. You cant make everyone happy, so leave it alone, dont keep changing it,

    To Yae and Dark: Can’t see your match ups but you both seem to be underestimating the characters in the 3.4 to 3.6 range. But none of that matters anymore...sandbagging for easy wins has been HEAVILY discouraged by GA Championship which puts you in a division based on GP and the new prequels territory that requires the guild to get 80 million GP! I also can’t prove how good I am at managing resources (its a matter of opinion anyway) but in general hoarding resources does not work so well when you can use them to grow faster. The strategy you suggest works for those spending in the short term...and looks like the tide has turned. I really have not been playing that long and am ahead of the curve for GP with the bottle neck of gear being part of the problem and the fact I was mostly free to play and focused on ships burning me in GA. But EA is really encouraging you develop every viable team you can....with the only place this hurts you bad being Grand Arena...guess that is fair. I expect less people will be trying to keep Galactic Power ultra low and hope to have more even match ups.


    "I I expect less people will be trying to keep Galactic Power ultra low" the problem with is statement is that CG likes to change their minds and screw everybody. The reason why match was an issue in the first place was because CG originally encouraged us to build our rosters. Fast forward to GA then CG decided that most of your roster is deadweight.
    Should everyone just trust they wont flip flop in a few months?

    That's not what Carrie said.

    If you mean that the podcast interviewer said it....and she agreed with this...so she did not “say it” than your right. Not sure why we are now arguing about the fact that you can’t get to the top of the meta without money (or maybe hacks?). We have YouTubers who show the most effective way to buy the top level characters. As in the CHEAPEST way to get to the top.

    You are ascribing a great deal to that sentence.

    Things I already explained in moderate detail. That soundbite is not from any interview. It's from a Twitter conversation, and taken so far out of context as to be utterly mutilated.
  • IF they (CG) see a potential to increase revenues short term or long term, they will make the changes. What we want has never mattered.
