Shorter GA

Idk. Sometimes I'm so impressed by what my opponent used on defense I want to switch it up and try what they did.

I look at my opponent’s roster and deploy my defenses accordingly, it’s an indispensable part of my strategy

Keep rewards as they are so everyone is more happy and less annoyed at the time it takes

Waiting is a tactic that works for some and not for others. If you have a strong offense, then it can make sense to go first and execute flawlessly to put pressure on the opponent to do the same. They have to make the tough choice of balancing teams that can win with holding reserves for the whatever might be hidden in your back row. I've won a number of tight matches against good opponents by going first.

On the other hand, if you go first and fail, your opponent can take a few more risks and still be successful. It really just depends on how the deployments shake out.

Agreed that the waiting game in GA is hard, but with a globally distributed player base, there's no way around it while maintaining fairness.

Because i think that people don't need lots of time, they are waiting on purpose. Even if they have days to attack they always will wait until the last hour so time is meaningless. That's what i'm saying, no more, no less.

I do this every time. But I can deff get on board with the total event time being shorter. Two days shorter ?

You mean two days and four people shorter with same rewards. ?

Same, also I have occasionally fat fingered a placement and would hate to be stuck with that in all 3 phases. Maybe a "select squad" type of thing where you can pre set teams for each configuration of GA?

How about smaller groupings? ?

Yeah, this. I may not be so keen on putting NS on defense if they have an Inmperial Troopers teams. Strategy is a core part of GA.
