Squad Arena lame

If there's a lame waste of time it's Squad Arena! The rewards are so lame it's not worth the time or effort to play. It's mandatory to play only to max out your dailies, but if it wasn't I don't think many would use valuable time to engage it. It only takes a year to max out all the characters in the shipment rewards using Squad Arena tokens so the only thing leftover is salvage pieces that are useless after you have over 1,000 of them! What then, why not end the lame salvage pieces and really put in something we use all the time like zeta's, or chromium transistor for relicing characters.

  • I do appreciate not having to do those battles every day. Maybe they could tweak the daily mission and give us some kyros for doing 3 battles or getting 3 wins. We could do those battles at any time and not worry about rank. Of course I am typing this without checking to see what the current rewards are…
  • One thing we all can note here is this event has lost it's luster since GAC has changed. Squad Arena is much easier to daily task with a push of a button " forfeit " then go for it, basically for bragging rights then for rewards. Why doesn't the developers just end the event and spread out the rewards to the other daily challenges, and make it one less thing for the daily challenges?

    The squad arena is all but pointless, wayyyyyy whoopdedooooo.

    Tvf please rationalise your thinking, cos for the life of me I cannot think of anyway reason as to why a software developer would want to make a part of their product “lame”.

    So please, do tell?


    If making some part of something lame ends up making that something better as a whole, it's still a good thing.

    SA is good for a battle every once in a while


    I have to be honest however and say that I find the better battles in GAC, seems most of the squads I find in SA are the same squad just different players.

    Furthermore, chromiums are the easiest piece to get. Gimme ccb or bw and id try in sa again


    CCB would be great.
    BW is easy to get.
    Farm more shock prods.



    I'm not even going to begin to understand how you could have that much of a stockpile, but I have 2000 shock prods and 0 of those pieces cause I constantly am turning them into bw... And while I have the gear to get all the bo toons (ig and beq), bo herself, and bane to g13 at unlock, I'm 200 bw away from all of them r7...
  • 17 toons and ship Prestige

    That's the main point of it. If you don't need those anymore, you can delete it in your mind and stop doing it, but I still do it for the shard shop currency. I don't care if I'm number one, but I won't let myself drop down too far either.

    Do you enjoy doing two arena climbs every day? Moving crystals out of SA for CG meant that players could no longer rely on a single squad for the majority of their crystal income. But for the players it meant that it was no longer necessary to do two arena climbs every day to maximize their rewards. This was a time consuming practice and tethered you to your phone every day at the same time simply to climb.

    For a long time we all just accepted that that's the way it was going to be - then CG changed it (made it 'lame') and gave us all back at least an hour of our day every day. That's clearly a good thing. Improving the rewards in SA would be dangerous - if they made them too good, people would feel compelled to go back to that and there are lots of players, myself included, who would much prefer not to. This was always one of the least appealing aspects of this game and I'm glad they've done away with it. With just one climb now (fleet arena) I can get that done in 15-30 minutes on most days and I'm quite happy with that.


    As I said, no one is forcing me to play that mode. If the rewards are improved and I carry on doing it once daily then I haven’t lost anything. If I play it competitively then I’m rewarded for it.

    There’s not much point in it taking u the screen space atm, might as well be scrapped altogether, along with fleet arena as well, you know, to please the people that can’t be bothered to play the game.


    Is this you?
