If programmers got fired every time a bug went live there would be not programmers left.

Hi all,

We’re aware of the issue where the Grand Arena appears to have progressed to the Review phase instead of the Attack phase and are investigating. Will update when we know more!

Erik

More double drop “events” here we come.... :neutral:

Now thats a good one.

Also, 5. You've cut back our rewards once again. And the promised fairer matchmaking that doesn't punish us for filling up our rosters is nowhere to be seen. I'm facing opponents with 2.5 as many raids as myself. It appears that matchmaking is solely based on GP, which you guys supposedly wanted to get away from.

First time I've seen anyone complain about raids completed as a metric....

It's an indicator of total time played assuming that both players have spent their entire time in guilds with close to 50 players and a 600 tickets / day requirement. It's a pretty safe bet that someone with double my raid counter also has been playing for approx. twice as long, with all the gear- and zeta-related advantages that come with additional playtime.

Why did the rewards go from 3 Zetas for 1st down to 2 Zetas for 1st. I got absolutely 0 Zetas during double drops AND a 4 million for credit heist. The 6.99 package jumped to 7.99. Is it just me or is this virtual inflation?

If it didn't have Star Wars in the name, it would have failed long ago

My question if they can't fix it and have to cancel, this new currency is quite valuable. People able to attack can do feats and claim currency while others cannot. What's their plan for that?

Probably best to just reset everyone to where they were before the attack phase began?

So you want gear and zeta matchmaking then.

Doesn't make any sense to tie it to raids, but whatever.

@CG_Erik Since you're canceling this GA, you need to reset the championship score. Without punishing people for completing the fleet battles ahead of time since some of us spent crystals to do so. The next GA needs to have better matchmaking within a single division, not across different divisions like this time, as well as autodeploy for all missing defense teams (even when people set one defense squad manually). Anything else royally messes up our championship scores.

Eric says they are discussing compensation since this round is a wash. Zetas and high level mod slicing material like what we would have gotten from regular gran arena would be great. The double drops didn't quite cover it.

This is not a bug. This is putting out such an inferior product that it can not work on the most rudimentary of levels. In my and anyone elses business you get one chance to impress because if you don't your clientele will go elsewhere. CG and their crew of just out of college millennials do not get that basic principle of business yet.
