Hello, Was there any thought by the developers that this would affect GAC matches? It’s literally the only game mode a huge chunk of players care about. And you couldn’t wait 2 hours?

I could care less about GAC lol. Especially 3v3. I’ve gotten first quite a few times since all 8 people auto deployed and I just happened to have the highest GP. Not worth the effort to me to really take it seriously.

CG is busy getting pats on the back from EA exes with all the money they are projecting from the people getting tired of losing GACs when they meet an opponent with more GLs

If the post was, a majority of players only played for GAC, then that would require data as proof. To say, “a lot of people only play for GAC” is plausible, as I personally know them, and shouldn’t require hard data to satisfy whatever need you have. And that’s really secondary to the main point of the post, which was, why roll the changes out during attack phase. It clearly wasn’t thought through.

I don’t like GAC, at all. And I’m a end game player.

Gac was my favorite part of the game, we will see if that remains true

What this tells me is other than the first 4 GL no content is worth grinding. All the new stuff is R8 material locked for only the top guilds and because I refuse to be forced to drop my guild of 2 years just to access the R8 mats.

All the old non GL toons are useless against GL so no point grinding them out. Why spend the 6 months getting GAS or JKLS when they will just end up as a poor secondary squad in GAC that will automatically lose to a GL.

Because you need them to get GL's

He said other than the first 4 which don't require R8 mats.

And it's not just 6 months grinding out to get them. New players have to grind a helluva lot more than that to get to GAS or JKL. Meanwhile someone with endless funds can just buy themselves right up and leave you in the dust.

I don't get the real point of the nerfs to be honest. I don't think a GL should be an automatic win, period. If someone wants to stick a G8 out there vs an R7 DR, Malak, and BSF, they deserve to lose. Once that GL is up to R7 it's pretty much unbeatable as it is without a GL. The GL shouldn't be a guaranteed win, it should be a heavy favorite, but if you can screw people over with the RNG in things like the GAS event, having a GL go down to RNG on occasion shouldn't be a huge concern.

Gating R8 mats to the best guilds and those who can max out conquest crates is pretty cheesy too, but that's another issue.

A huge chunk of players only care about GAC and don’t care about any other game modes including arena, TB and Conquest? Do they just enjoy defeating other minions that either have a weaker roster or simply don’t care about GAC?

Yeah you’re right. Squad arena is definitely the most engaging game mode available. Mirror matches over and over for an hour or more each day is the definition of fun.
