GRAND ARENA Matchmaking

Product: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes
Platform:Android
What type of device are you experiencing the issue with? Samsung Galaxy S23
OS Version Android 14
Ally Code: (Find it here: http://bit.ly/AllyCode ) 333-748-746
What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
Summarize your bug I assume this is a bug; my Grand Arena Championship bracket matched ONE guy with about 9.5M GP. The next highest in this bracket is 5M GP. This is absurd.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? https://swgoh.gg/p/333748746/gac-bracket/
Connection Type Wifi
Please select your region Europe
Country Germany

So,  I assume this is a bug since this has literally never happened to me before. 

I have 4.2 million GP, one Galactic Legend (SLKR) at Relic 7.

In my grand arena bracket there is a guy with every Galactic Legend and close to 10 million GP.

There are two others who are close to 7M GP.

Is Matchmaking bugged out/broken? If not, this is some SERIOUS BS CG.

How the heck am I supposed to win any match at all? 

Since I don't stand a chance against 3 of my potential opponents, I'm just not placing any defensive units at all - not even ships. There's nothing I can possibly do to beat any of those 3 players.

  • I thought this was a bug, and posted it incorrectly as such. Since I'm not about to re-write the entire post...

    See the attached images...

    Now, assuming you've seen the images, my proposed solution is the following:

    3 layer match making in the following order

    1. Total Galactic Power
    2. Quantity of Galactic Legends (SLKR, Rey, Sith Eternal Emperor, etc)
    3. Current Rank in Grand Arena (Carbonite, Bronze, Aurordium, etc)

    This would ensure that players with similar capabilities are matched for a proper contest of skill, rather than the utter BS I shared above (again, view the shared images).

    @ChristophIV I seriously can't believe this isn't a bug, but I took your advice and posted it as suggested.

    Considering I'm most likely not the first person to complain though, I can't possibly imagine that 7 YEARS into the game, the developers care enough to even read it...

    ... sorry, not sorry...
  • Here's the issue and it is BODERLINE CHEATING! I can't believe they allow this to happen. These lame players will get to a certain level where they hit a wall because they are either bad players or just don't want a challenge so they let their HIGH LEVEL TEAMS drop down to the lowest tier carbonite where newbs who are learning how to play are being preyed upon BECAUSE there is no way that you will be able to beat them. Then they can collect their easy money by running the board on your weak teams. My team is barely 1M GP and I am CONSTANTLY facing teams that were at carbonite 4, 4M GP with maxed out characters at 5-8 relic level against my TWO zeta best team!!! How is that ANYWHERE near fair??? I guess it works if you want to discourage starters from playing the game mode...

    Here's what needs to happen. FORGET dropping players down on win/loss record. Keep the matches strictly at GP level or this kind of thing is going to keep happening. Each tier should have a max GP threshold to combat people taking advantage of a basically allowed cheat. You should never be allowed to drop BELOW your GP threshold which means that those players should be stuck on the tier that dictates their level of power. In this way, they will have to fight FAIR battles and LeaRn to PlaY or quit playing in frustration. I don't see why they should be able to troll people just getting into the game mode.
