[MEGA] State of the Galaxy: November 2021

The changes are too radical! From someone that loves GAC and reaches kyber every time!
- Is it true that no GP brackets are used in matchmaking anymore? Then if I advance during the first GACs in a higher division, will I face +x Mil GP opponents? How am I supposed to have any chance against them?
- I understand they wanted to eliminate the effect of the shard chats/mafias in the crystal economy and gain back control, but the changes appear to favour only the highest GP accounts. What about the smaller/medium GP accounts that were doing good in SA (compared with peer-/same starting time-accounts)?
I like the spirit of the changes, but for sure there are some flaws! Best thing would be to split 50/50 the crystal income between GAC and SA or to progressively move to the current scheme.

My god, are you deliberately trying to sink this game?!

I play for my guild. Squad and fleet arena has allowed me to earn 27000 crystals a month to build my roster to help my guild. My territory battles roster is diverse and helps my guild. Now you are telling me I should worry about myself, not my guild, and focus on a game mode that I don’t enjoy. At the same time you are taking away the reward structure that has allowed me to help my guild grow. These changes are just wrong.

I don't understand this +10 points for your first attack. Why?

The way it reads suggests it is for both players, which seems pointless (both players just get a free 10 points unless they don't attack at all).

If it's *just* for the first player to attack, then it would be horribly unfair to anyone who is asleep when GAC rounds start (Middle East through to India).

Not sure if pointless or ill-conceived.

I like the changes, as a FTP with one GL (SEE, but working on JML), my arena climb to try and get to the top 50 is a pain, especially when someone knocks you down with a minute until payout.

Instead of facing whales in Squad Arena you will face those whales with 5 GLs in GAC. Mark my words, its a trap!

Shard chats were just allowing too many people to get max crystals daily eh?

Actually on the contrary. The Mafias didn't allowed almost any player to be in the top 20 even. That's totally unfear for the most players in the Arena

And I honestly feel bad for the people in that situation. But from discussions within my own guild, and our alliance, most chats generally will let anyone in who is willing to cooperate (just not attacking someone in their payout hour). I know my own squad and fleet chats are open to anyone who can climb, and only target people that attack out of their payout and mess others up.

It's not like this change will allow people who aren't rocking the latest meta to reach high gac rewards. Like if you're still rocking CLS as your best team, I wouldn't expect to hit kyber.

GAC = the best mode (other than TW) + will reward skill instead of just having one decent team.

Cautiously excited!

So now to get the top rewards you’ll need the 22 best meta teams instead of one.

Just a suggestion. And a lot is based on assumptions ...

Assumption 1: No deployment window (no 24hr window to deploy)

Assumption 2: daily income means we are fighting GAC daily ?

If we are doing GAC daily, don't u think the number of battles is very high ?

Understand the need to diversify the roster etc. But if this is gonna be daily, it is going to wear people out very fast. Why can't the battles be reduced for all levels.

Bearing in mind we have the following:
1. Conquest
2. Fleet battles
3. TB/TW
4. Raids

Suggested layout.
2 fleet battles
5 arena battles

One of the many unsatisfied long time players and spenders of cash that will no longer be spending and probably not playing. I don’t have the time for GAC. Plus you just destroyed a community of players in arena. I fully expect you to wreck fleet next. 6 years might be too long playing the same game.
According to the chart, a player has to rate kyber to equal first in their arena daily.

How about you throw your dedicated players a bone and give something back to the community for once who hemorage 1000s of pounds into this game. Make it so everyone who can reach rank 1 or top 10 in arenas gets max crystal rewards and add GAC crystals aswell to incentivise people to play GAC. Like have you no clue how bad this is and what this change will bring? Most whales are cosied up in their squad shard discords you wipe that out and you potentially lose a massive portion of your highest spending clients and just to be clear im not a supporter of shard discords as it becomes very agressive to shut people out of the top 20 but your system has forced this on the community. So just level the playing field allready give everyone 24 hours to reach as high as they can and give equal rewards in brackets of ranks 1-10 10-25 25-50 50-100 and sort out the gear drops for gods sake double them or something you are bleeding this game and its players patience dry.
