And watch out Alumni is coming out of retirement so that SAME alumni team wearing Ultra tag will be switching their tags back to their undefeated tag...LOLLL

The tag isn't undefeated and Sarah asked me to promise that we'd do next GST on the Alumni tag if the iDevice team won

Spoiler

Not sure why that bothers you

Big GST what if: Would Sith had won if Fulgore was cored and David was subbed? The world may never know

David did fine, he's the first person I'd want on my team if the GST was tomorrow

Good to see you participating in gst discussion when you don't even participate in them?

I went even (which is still pretty bad vs the team we were up against- don't get me wrong) but overall didn't do that bad.

All of this is coming from someone who avoids doing the gst like a Black Plague on his main account and instead does it on alts to hide his results.. your record is horrible dude, don't make me get vlad r. to make you quit graal again by beating you in a series  

Looks like I triggered the senior citizens, how's your wall doing david after that 14-18 performance against Sith.
Thallen let's not pretend your opinion of David is unbiased(Top 5 Guildsparer my ass) I have never seen this ****** go 1-1 let alone stay alive til the end of a guild spar without hiding behind 4 members.
And for the whole "You do GSTs on alts" thing is completely ******ed if I had any interest doing it I would've atleast practiced for it.


Who's red?

I would take any Sith core over David  

keep it going boiz
why doesn't anyone use the guildspar arena until the month of GST? most fun part of this game  

Except I went 17-17 you moron lmao

Ok ivan, I have the proof

I don't think saying "David did fine" is getting triggered

nobody seems to do stuff on this game anymore unless it's heavily incentivized, probably a result of Graal itself not being very fun

I do wish something was implemented that would get people interested though, but you could say the same for just about every other part of the game (towering, etc.)  

Sounds like a personal best to me

Let's see it  

imo need rating leaderboards back, i feel like it would get players and hopefully guilds more active in competing for a high spot. but i don't understand what really drives the playerbase as a whole, that's just what would get me interested. would need someone to come up with a system that can't be abused though and i don't really understand how any of that works.

none of what i'm suggesting even matters though with a staff team that will never change anything.

rating leaderboards aren't really going to change the way people participate in activities like sparring, most people like me, yourself, and anyone spars excessively generally end up burnt out and in the "I couldn't be bothered sparring because sparring is boring" is what happens to pretty much everybody who has sparred for long periods of time experiences.

You hit 50k and stopped, I hit 20k and stopped. It's basically what happens to everyone who Pk's and Bk's as well.

The main issue is the incentives which is what made towering fun are gone. We get trophies and plaques for being on the leader board at the end of the season but that's still not enough to get people to spar, pk or bk.

In summary if you want people to be more actively competing in the competitive aspects of graal:

• Bring back 1k, 5k and 10k tower rewards
• Add hats or even item prizes or gralats for spar wins accumulated, e.g A hat for each 10k,20k,30k etc Milestone.
• Add baddy killing incentives that don't add to the boringness of sword spamming npcs for hours

Would anyone waste 2 month of their lives to prepare for something that's 3 months away lol. Besides 95% of gsts that've participated probably already separated anyways.

Just to add to this, It's stupid to have iclassics only competitive style tournament so far apart, I'm hoping theres single spar styled tournaments when the new guild system is released.

However it'd be nice if the time between GST's was shortened.  

issue w current leaderboard is that it rewards activity, you don't even have to be good at sparring to be #1, you can spar noobs all day and still probably be top 5.

Dont care about SST(Single Spar Tourney). but I feel like the time between each GST have to be shortened, I heard that back in 2010 or 2011, gsts were monthly and not seasonal, i think this would be better and bring in more players/maybe revive old players. Why was this system changed anyways?

NGS will fix it whenever it comes out hopefully
