Update on Grand Arena and Territory Wars [MEGA]

@CG_SBCrumb It would be great if we could get TW vanilla/bonuses in back-to-back TWs rather than having them switch back and forth. For those of us who play TW competitively, it is very difficult to theorycraft and remod on a day's notice.

@CG_Carrie A little off-topic here but if you all ever do a QOL update, it would be great to have health healing and protection healing numbers be in different colors. Maybe green (health) and blue (protection)...

Another aspect of GA that is counter intuitive is that the higher my GP gets the more teams must be used. So the more I progress as a player, the more time this mode will take up. However the rewards are the same for a 1mil GP player as they are for a 4mil+ GP player. Now they will compound this by making them more frequent and reducing the rewards earned each GA. As it is the rewards don't scale to the time commitment and will only get worse as we progress our GP upwards with smaller rewards per GA. I though progressing and improving my team was supposed to always be beneficial, this game mode actually makes progressing as a player result in the same rewards for more effort.

crumb why u avoiding the more GA less rewards questions?

First guess would be because you are using the wrong tag.

Yes, it is likely that the rewards will be lesser to be balanced with current amount of rewards over more instances.

This may not mean less overall, but it may mean less per event.

@Kyno come on now. I saw you on the finn thread trying to do damage control and put out fires while there are over a thousand posts with not a single response to date. So don't pretend for a minute that him saying @CG_SBCrumb instead of crumb is going to make a difference in them acknowledging a word we have to say. Don't pee on our legs and tell us it's a dev response.

Can you please stop counting ship GP in GA when there are no ship territories? It is creating huge imbalances in some cases.

They already said that is being addressed in an upcoming update. It was in the Road Ahead post.

They were able to patch in a fix to the Han Solo quest before this GA but not matchmaking? Sad and disappointing.

Nice post. Seems like you are not used to loosing.. Maybe don't be part of any competition then...

I don't mind loosing, especially if the matches are very even. The GA matches I have experienced are generally lopsided to the point where I can clearly tell if I will win or loose before the match has started. When I play my favorite FPS games, I tend to loose almost half the matches because the game is able to match me based on my skill with other players who have similar skill levels.When my team wins in these games its often due to stronger coordination (similar to how most TW wins occur in even matches, coordination is key for your team's success). However the reward structure for GA clearly ensures that no-matter what your skill level is only 1 person out of 8 will be the winner, therefore 7 people lost.

Maybe you like TW more, because your guild is carrying you.

Absolutely love being carried by my guild while we crush guilds with 30 million more GP than ours. While we have won 98% of the TWs, the number of losing players is close to equal to the number of winners in each war, which seems a lot more fair than 7 losers for each winner.

Both of you, please. You are losers, not loosers. You may win some guild events, but as far as spelling contests go the force is weak in both of you. All in good fun.

Some great changes here, and welcomed feedback. Thank you Devs for listening to the forum! My bet is there's even more feedback you're taking in, but need time to digest. Hopefully, we can continue to give constructive feedback and maybe we can try to be a bit more optimistic and put the flame throwers away.

Cheers!

TW YT Streamers: Hey, can we get more TWs so we can stream more content? People love watching that stuff, and it’s a great commercial for the game!

CG: No problem! Building good buzz about the game is great. We plan on rolling out many more TWs every month!

TW YT Streamers: That’s great! Thank you!

CG: Of course, we’ll have to rebalance the rewards if we do more.

TW YT Streamers: Wait! What does that mean?!

SWGOH player base: That had better not mean what we think it means.

CG: :)

@CG : why don't you make every time ship in grand arena ? why don't we have 3v3 +ship?

Like Jenjhys already said, why are there pure character grand arenas?
I‘ve invested rather much in ships, which also shows in the characters I‘ve geared up. Better ships are increasing my GP and some bad characters, I just geared for ships increase my GP. Why am I not getting something back for that? Not being able to use ships feels like a punch in the face, because I‘m matched with players with more character strength. I have yet to see one player, who matches me in turn of ship GP

Hell, ships even is already 3v3, why not just add it to GA?!

They should add 3x3x and 5x5 Ship fights without a capital ship.

Another thing they should add at this game to do the matchmaking is a character class.
The top characters like Revan, Traya and so on should be flagged as "Class A", "Class B", "Class C" and you should be fighting with the ones with the close number of Class A characters you have. C'mon we cannot compare Revan G12 and Lobot G12.

They should fix all the matchmaking problems before adding more GA, they couldn't fix the fleet GP being added to the characters GA until now. And it's a separated value already, how hard can be that?
