Post GA MM Discussion
First - thank you CG. It was a blast.
Try to be civil here. ;) And cheating discussions are for other threads. Please be realistic and TRY to be objective.
For reference: I am Division 3 at 3.78 GP at start, so at top. Will move up to Division 2 next GA because I'm 3.8M GP now. I have good but not great mods. I have no +25 speed mods. I have DR no Malak, JKR and other normal teams. Traya is 5* and Padme team at 5* g9 when I started. I am very cheap on zetas and I usually only zeta required zetas on required toons. No fluff zetas for me but I do have a fluffy-ish roster with a lot of "collector" toons at g8. Every single one of my toons has mods and I dont de-mod.
So, at least at 3.78Mish GP in Div 3 my personal experience is MM was pretty good and challenging. There were some blowouts first bracket. Second bracket was tighter. 3rd and 4th bracket were really close. I lost a round 3rd bracket when I set "standard" D and the guy got a lot of undersized banners. 4th bracket I won TWO games by ties and having more GP and won the 3rd by 5 banners. Very close and very tough. I did hit Kyber midway through the last match after clearing two zones. I mostly Ignored feats unless it didnt risk a win and completed about 50% of them or somewhere near that. I did go 11-1 but had 2 ties and all other games in 3rd and 4th bracket were decided by about 10 banners.
Random observations:
1. I never faced a Malak or had one in my bracket. Assuming this is because I'm in the fat part of the bell curve and there are more possible matches. Maybe I just got lucky. Perhaps if they split Div 1 and 2 up some more it will reduce this issue for some. Again I might have just gotten lucky.
2. I think the "relevant GP" should maybe be expanded some? Around 20%ish. At my GP half of my g10-g11 NS team, and all of my 5* g9 Padme team were not counted. Probably another 6-8 g10 toons that I use too.
3. I really like feats. I ignored them if I thought they would risk me some banners, but they also guided me into using some teams that I would never have tried otherwise and I learned some things. If I had some more losses would have tried to max them out for more currency.
4. Based on what I have read, which may not be accurate, it seems harder for top Divisions to rank up. So perhaps their points scaling should be tweaked?
5. This is by far my favorite game mode and I hope CG gives it the attention and iterations it deserves. It required a lot of thought and strategy and needing 61 banners on my last battle to tie against a geared NS or Geo team was thrilling.
So, now that you have seen the whole thing, what was your experience?
