Graal Rumors
I hear that the GST will be combined into one division. What I mean is that there may be no more mixed and idevice divisions for gst, just one plain gst for ALL devices. Is dis true?

Although it would be interesting to see the best idev teams beat every pc team that isn't Alumni/ULTRA |

The same question can be raised about pking, bking and sparring contributing to the 'NGS.' I don't think Fp4 has publicly confirmed any of this. All unlikely hypotheticals imo |

If they just wanted to make it a single tournament and it had no correlation with the NGS then they wouldn't be waiting all this time to release it when NGS is out. I'm just gunna guess you haven't read any of the NGS threads, the roster size is being increased and a points system is being added where each individual member can contribute points, kicking members/using temporary members will bring some form of punishment (losing points most likely) as the whole point is to promote guild loyalty and overall activity in the game outside of towering and guild dedication. There's no other reason they would be changing the guild system, and taking this long to do so. |

Haven't read that thread. It's an unofficial forum and half of the ideas that they post won't be implemented. I'm positive you can find other examples. -2015: Spoiler

I'd say their word is official considering they develop the game lol, who's to say GST hats won't be removed come NGS? NGS had been on the update queue before that post was made, he never provided a specific date. Like I said, if there was absolutely no correlation between NSG and the single 64-team tournament they wouldn't be waiting to release it alongside NGS. |

Why the GST should be left untouched when the NGS is implemented: -Would be lopsided and the same guild would take home the 1st place points every season... -Not every guild member is deserving of the 1st place points in a guild that wins. -Since guild loyalty is promoted and you can't recruit outsiders to improve, the same outcome will occur. -No g-sparrer that isn't already top 10-20 has improved in 2 years, so recruiting would be necessary- you then get punished for that? -GS activeness would drop from GST month to GST week. No reward=no motivation. -5/25 (5/50?) members can actually spar? lol fun -The GST right now would still be more fun than the NGS (in the long term.) No need for change

The most rational explanation for combining the tournaments is so that NGS guilds don't feel pressured to recruit 14 out of 50? roster spots dedicating to a tournament that happens four times a year. However, I feel like having only 7 out of 50? participating in a GST is going to create a weird GST atmosphere anyway. 43 other people aren't going to be humble enough to just sit out, so it's either going to encourage new and temporary guilds specifically for the GST (which is the exact problem the NGS should be fixing) or it's going to leave people feeling unhappy. I'm not really sure how the best way to handle it would be.

Gst shouldn't be linked with the NGS, they shouldn't make "guild points" as a reward for gst. Otherwise, half of those "50" players gonna be gsing in belle/ba which will effect the daily points of the guild. Also, it's going to be awkward when you only pick 7 members even tho some others practiced in ba/belle too. We should just stick to our gst guilds and the rewards should stay the same. Plus, this will make less gst guilds submissions since there will be only few NGS guilds with 50 members (you can only submit one team) I doubt you will get 64 submissions. Allowing the NGS guilds to submit 2 teams at once could also be an issue, because obviously you'll have the strong team and the weak team. But it's going to be better than having one submission from each guild. You can place the first submission in the first 32 guilds brackets and the second submission in the other 32 guilds brackets. Edit: sticking to 2 gsts ( idev and mixed) will have the same result/effects as submitting two teams in one guild for one Gst. |

You could enter without having 50 members, just being awarded points would be useless. They would of looked at this from every angle and found something that made sense and worked well.
You clearly don't understand the point of the system, everyone makes individual contributions and people who do so through spar are just doing theirs.
Again lol, this 'activity' is people sparring, getting high points(or boosting) and stopping, then sparring only in places like Delta Island, nothing is going to change. Plan your recruitment process? Not all 50 people are going to want to spar, the point is to gather people who are interested in different activities of the game.
