GPO dev tracker: January 2023

The developers often say things in the official Discord that never make the patch notes: a drop rate, why something was nerfed, when the next update lands. We collect every message from the GPO team, keep the ones that tell players something about the game, and show the question they were answering. Each line links to the original message.

Dev states Naruto cannot gain points because his skills do too much damage in Awakening.

naruto is fine
plus i play rushdown with m1s
naruto can't gain points otherwise
cuz his skills do too much dmg
in awakening
so just m1 combo people so i can win
🥱
no one has access to the game except pho
br is 80% luck 20% skill
i've been saying that since before it RELEASED
ur justn ot active :shockedskull:
back when we were streaming br i was tellin people with questions about how fair it is
cos its fun to gamble on ur chances of winning plus i needed all the fruits in the game
but i have them now so
can't find much of a reason to play anymore
:ezzah:
in what way is naruto more annoying than other characters ????
i don't care how many trash zoner naruto's u fought
i've slapped all of em
:shockedskull: :shockedskull: :shockedskull: :shockedskull:
naruto doesn't work as a bitch made zoner
slide dee
role dee
im a dev not an admin, i don't get paid to act a certain way bruh
anime showdowns homie
nah i think that shit is annoying too, the naruto players that think they are joker mains are so weird
then they wonder why they get no points
i did a bajillion damage and go no points!! :aPES_Sob: :aPES_Sob: :aPES_Sob: :aPES_Sob: (only got this damage in awakening after doing nothing but waiting for cooldowns and hitting multiple people)
naruto mains are a walking skill issue till they learn to fight upclose
no clue how that process works
naruto
:bruh:
do i look like ur average naruto he's fun if u play rushdown
perms and so i can see certain channels
gpo isn't about one piece
u still think gpo is a one piece game
😔
poor guy
next update is LEAGUE OF LEGENDS GAMEMODE!
jk (obviously)
tenor.com/view/rock-one-eyebrow-raised-rock-s…
yeah
not rlly
if br got removed in exchange for an in-game mode like capture the island/flag or treasure hunting i'd be down 100%
br would be useless then
but till then
br is what it is
a desperate attempt for players in an unbalanced game
till the game is re-balanced on a global scale br will always fill unfair despite it's system being pretty neutral
cos no matter what u get in br, u could always just be tod'd, infinite combo'd, wall combo'd, sent sky high in final zone by an ult no one can block or just hit by a funny ice stomp u can't pb

kxroharuEvents#general

i cooked up tori-rework
im on break
jk, i just cant say whats next
:swag:
no clue, when i wrote tori it was supposed to be seamless between zoan and base
it's why u can see phoenix brand and dive in base
u were supposed to be able to switch from base
otherwise what :aPES3_CursedDemon:
😔
i tried man
slave deez
🐒 🐒
:shh:

tenor.com/view/goku-gif-24919715
imma be 100% honest
i forgot about valentines bro
why do we need a valentines update
:bruh:
i want boa island back
holiday updates r so trash
cos no matter how good they r
they r limited events
x_x
like the halloween island
imagine gpo if we still had all the event islands
might be 5% cooler no cap
i miss the halloween island man
😔
@shiki the people have spoken
:ezzah:
give us back the event islands
c:
what if every anniversary we had all the events come back fr
instead of waiting for the next random GPO Fedora
o_
im SAYINNNGGG
i will say
it'll destroy unob prices tho
:/
santa is like level 100 bro
he'd be farmed like mad for cc
:shockedskull:
but it's not my fault trading system is so trash
:ezzah:
i say content > trading value
LOOOOL
ur spitting icl
:ezzah:
trading values would be alot more tame if u knew once a year whatever was gone would come back
o_
o____
o_
damn W bait fr
imma go tell pho
i expect a no but maybe
just MAYBE
:waaafade:
i need to see more to cast a verdict but atm no, im not excited or interested but i wish em the best fr
hwx is deffo hitting front page 💪
they don't all do the same thing tho
pika is probably one of the highest fruits in stock in game yet it costs more than half the legendaries
:shockedskull: :shockedskull: :shockedskull: :shockedskull: :shockedskull: :shockedskull: :shockedskull: :shockedskull: :shockedskull: :shockedskull: :shockedskull: :shockedskull: :shockedskull: :shockedskull:
ehhhhhh
think about it like this prestige items would increase in value because they'll never come back
but unobs are like a quarter of the game's weapons and items now
they should come back
:/
doesn't make any sense
most of the content this game has ever had is no longer useable to a new player

kxroharuMechanics#general

Developers keep gates closed, and devs can see players at all times.

huh, me?
i was going to people around the map
wym abuse gate
i am a dev, so im gonna keep em closed
we ain't even fighting
w mans
bro if i have to tp to u and win i will drop u from brazil
sure
if u can find me
L dude
either u can't read or your putting on a front, which ever it is ur about to get ur ass beat 💪

kxroharuBalance#general

Hie does not need a rework and is one of the strongest fruits in the game.

im not a mod bruh
:bruh: don't ping me for idiots on discord trying to bypass
no i don't think hie needs a rework
it's one of the strongest fruits in the game
stop it
:shockedskull:
no 💪

kxroharuMechanics#general

Experience is gained from fighting, and winning grants more experience.

no
just get exp from fighting and u get em for free
u don't even gotta win fr
but winning will get u more exp
no
huh
fair enough

kxroharuRelease timing#general

Possibly update 15 for an unspecified change.

roblox devs CANNOT make money, it breaks his delusion that thousands of devs do this for free, and the people making over 100k a year are just on accident
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
maybe update 15
:BeerusBruh:
teamers will not be moderated
no
shh 🙏
icey does look a lil like me
respond to what
:PES3_Wave:
huh
after premium afk and battle royale? should be worth virtually nothing

kxroharuOther#general

IP bans are against Roblox terms of service.

if they can pay for an exploit they can pay for a vpn
:Bruh:
ip bans r against tos anyway

kxroharuMechanics#general

A 1v1 only counts in arena.

ᴋᴜʀᴏ: FACTS

expanding on this, the only place a 1v1 counts is in arena imo.

kxroharuRelease timing#general

Ryuma's Scarf, Tomoe Drums, Kraken Armor, and Modia Top Hat are listed as items.

Ryuma’s Scarf, Tomoe Drums, Kraken Armor, Modia Top Hat

kxroharuEvents#general

The current event lasts until update 8.

no clue
it lasts until update 8
probably ye

kxroharuBalance#general

Tori with 300 stamina and stamina regen items can run indefinitely in PVE.

tori isn't the fruit ur lookin for then
it's ok ig with a good build u can do high dmg
i meant pve
if u have like 300 stamina with good stamina regen items u can go crazy with tori in pve (u literally never run out)

tbglitchRelease timing#general

The commonly known old version of the game is extremely old, and a newer version exists.

ur probably thinking of the SUPER old one
no, it's just that the one that people think is finished is extremely old
yeah but i don't think it had that many animations, and that was back in like 2018 or 2019
nope
can't say

tbglitchOther#general

Community, testers, and devs suggest changes, which are then sent to Pho for review.

no :cry_cat:
:TBLove:
i don't think we have a set person for it, it's like a mix of whtvr the community+testers+devs say and then it's sent to pho to look over it

tbglitchDrops & rates#general

Some first sea item drop rates are outdated.

to be fair, it's not like we're an adopt me server or smthing
and our age group is a bit older
:yes:
LOL imagine
stop ppl will actually believe you
the dmg boosts testers and devs get are towards npcs only
literally nothing I just munch on chips and yell at people
it's awesome
:TBFun:
true
srry that position is taken
i have no idea, tbh a lot of the first sea item drop rates are outdated
not possible
the current person is the best
90% is a little exaggerated, but it def didn't hurt :devil:
it's 6:04am so i'll find out soon enough

kxroharuMechanics#general

Mochi's skills break blocks, cannot be parried, one-shot, and have a server-wide hitbox.

ur good bro
yeah it's every where
i was playing combat warriors and someone was one shotting the 2 tails boss and stealing all the damage
wassup
wassup
thanks man
ye
same
FweetGummy
i didn't wake up in the middle of the night
this is just my current sleep schedule
i get 8-11 hours
i just sleep at awkward times
:O not a mod
bro...
it's over for u
bro finna hit first period like a brick
why gpo shutting down
where's the it's been 5 hours without gpo copy pasta when u need it
u'll soon learn pho just does things without tellin anyone
???
my son would never be a mochi lover i know that for sure
LOOL
i knew a guy with 3x all fruits in his inventory before a server shut down
he was trading for J fit
wonder if he got restored
💀
ask roblox to add better support
u had 2 fruits and u chose magu and suna? and not yami and gura?
SELLER!
hie is one of the highest scaling fruits in the game
so
idk
what u mean by that
it be like dat
in the early development of yami, there was a thought process to make it gura and yami
but it got scrapped
regretting my decision
no, and im not a mod
how u lose a fruit with a 2 minute warning
but then we didn't know how we'd do the awakening for yami or gura when it would've been both
so it was scrapped so both fruits can have their own tracks in the future
yeah
yes
since u asked nicely
every skill on mochi breaks block, can't be parried, one shots and has a server wide hitbox
:pepesalute:
ye in 2050 tho
yeah probably not, i don't think they'd be in arena either
but we'll see if awakenings are full blast powered up versions of the original fruit, or just updated redesigns like blox fruits.
pretty sure it is
when pho lets us
cross platform, 4x the content, much more advertisement on the game, more content creators spreading word about the game to blox fruit's target audience
beginner friendly as well
gpo is any but beginner friendly
i bet u if we reworked the first couple of quests and islands in first sea, the player count would permanently triple
yes, everyone but @TBGlitch :troll:
u can pay to progress when it gets to hard as well
u can't do that in gpo without paying 200 dollars+
in blox fruits, u drop 5 bucks on the game and ur a king

kxroharuBugs & fixes#general

The exploiter issue is a Roblox problem, not a GPO problem.

i only make game effects lol
if we all did the same thing there wouldn't be 20 devs.
:BeerusBruh:
now screw ur head on straight and act right
:troll:
it's a funny sticker
no it's just 2 am
do u play gpo :pls:
W mans, let me fill u in on a lil gpo secret then
the exploiter issue is a roblox problem!

:ezzah:
listen deez
private servers say otherwise
get angry
game isn't dead and awakening's rn't the solution

kxroharuRoadmap#general

Battle Royale was dropped from update 7 because it finished before the other content.

i think auto grip would be cool in one instance cos who df is gonna revive u or wait for u to get up. on the other hand it stops the chance u get back up in game
keep br, improve main game. improvements to main game improve br
think bigger
the amount of times i've been knocked just to get back up and haul ass
:ezzah:
gripping is supposed to take effort that's the thing
L bait
doesn't sound fair, just sounds like making the game more easier for no real purpose other than gripping is hard when someone else attacks you
(because its supposed to be)
unless im low after a 1v1 i don't care if i can't grip
keep waiting
br didn't take up 7, br finished before the other content so we dropped it. as per the community's request not to wait 3-6 months for a big update anymore.
🙏
beggerrrrsss can't be choosers. :troll:
sure
as a one time curtesy
cos u asked nicely
here u go
gpo isn't his life bro
because it isn't 6.5
it IS the update
u've gotten sneak peaks andrej
u just ain't lookin
no
all the sneaks this month r in premium
:shockedskull: so nvm
pm
wym ad
it's just the fax
:ezzah: go look for urself
of course i can
i see them before they r even sneaked
u guys wanna see a premium sneak?
deplorable fools, buy premium.
right now.
LOOOOOOOOOL
yur
it's pretty fun to work on
there is no opp

Certain ults grant invincibility frames and hyper armor startup, and last 20 seconds.

over 2k+ with magu ult, bomu ult, and pika ult with default points. did i mention u have iframes? and hyper armor start up???
did i also mention it lasts 20 seconds?
everyone?? ain't no one with u homie
🙏
no
we already released a patch for runners
it's called don't chase them
u will not catch me trying to chase down a bomu, ito, pika or tori user
weird af
u can't even catch someone with mere geppo
idk why u chasin people
:shockedskull:
everyone moves at the same speed unless u have a specific skill that can give u a speed advantage and capture whatever ur trying to chase
why r u chasing people in br, while chests r being open and ur end game opponents r becoming stronger
i've got a 15 winstreak rn on br solo's u wanna know why cuz i don't treat the BATTLE ROYALE GAMEMODE as a 1v1 everytime someone looks at me wrong
i don't try to box every single person i come in contact with and chase them to the ends of the earth for a elf hat and a magu.
💀
i walk passed peopel or avoid them, i only fight for ult bar.
after that
im out
🥱
everytime i lose it's either cuz i sold in final circle, OR i get third partied for taking a fight to seriously
so i just stopped fighting people
💀 this isn't arena
it's a ffa deathmatch
now im the third party

;]

like bro if u wanna win br easy
just watch people fight in the trees like a monkey
get kilo, and just hop around with a bari in inventory till final circle unless u get a better fruit
no that shit for losers
if u exploit ur deplorable
i hope u spend as much money as u can on the game then synapse just to get to arlong park faster and get banned the next day without notice
🥱
scamming urself if u exploit icl
no i only have like 600 stam with kilo
it's not for final circle
kilo is just the quickest way to gain the most busted advantage in battle royale without cost of stamina or mobility
and that's flight
no cd like spin, no high stamina drain like suke invisiblity
and it's easy to get
in 15 wins in rn, br is 70% luck > 30% skill
lol
br has so little do with skill it might as well be a secondary attribute
or we can just pretend like it ain't there
👍 and everyoen can just use under 50 dmg m1s
and 1 combo extender
i do not care bout no damn chop chop
chop ur hairline
all ur askin for is something to save ur skill issue against high damage weapons homie
u ain't slick
w-w-well if i have c-c-chop chop then i can't get a-abused at home anymore in game
nothin savin u from the yomi inf combo
even if we did chop once that chop bar runs out, ur donezo. skill issue reenabled type beat.
i cannot summon fruits homie, try an admin
that right there
is all i need to never add chop
coz that'd be wack as hell

prolly cos i make money off the games i play
how's that copium treating u
idk bruh

PvE content is planned, though the developer does not confirm specifics for other content.

The developer who worked on the Cyborg fruit quit, and Pho will work on it in a later update.

the dev that was working on it gave up, phoeyu will be workin on it for a later update but is busy with the current content
classified :] just know its being looked into
it's probably preference at this point, naruto still holds it's hype even tho it's story finished years ago unlike one piece. (no we don't count boruto)
clips n such is what he watches
he does
wassup :ducky:

i can't check ur season results lol

wassup
i don't handle that stuff

Next update is PvE-focused and a Cyborg fruit is coming, but not soon.

fruits r all u ever scream for, never seen u scream for another boss to throw into a corner. be patient all will come in to for u PVE heads. next update is pve anyway
? cc is fine
no
don't know what u expected it's the first event weapon
if u think cc flash freeze is a problem then rip u
the stamina buff move? only if the cooldown for the charm is increased
o_
LOOL
spittin FAX
i mean in their defense, it is ez. it just shouldn't be 💀
we never sneaked gears, and cyborg was put off cos the dev who worked on burned out after doin like 1 skill. 💀
cyborg is coming just not anytime soon
💀
of course we're doing gears
no
i said the same thing 😔
cory and i were thinkin about using cola power for cyborg
we'll see when it's being made
like flat stamina points?
we don't 💀 also u wont leak anything cuz i have ur SSN
never SAID we'd make zoans, just held a vote for them but zoans lost that vote if u don't rmbr
sounds dope
working on the BEE ZOAN :troll: buzz buzz
i alr suggested something like that, but with a damage scale buff so it's not useless also no more regen during the skill if it's gonna be a official grab
mochi's are so ass rn tho, i fight in pubs for bounty n shit and all i ever see mochi users doing is using the ult with magu or bomu users then mochi rolling around
boring ass fruit
💀
it's a far range hitbox it's just not wide like power mochi
yep, i keep telling people that but they just "BLOCK BREAKER! :NerdHD: "
why u still here then
add deez
expecting someone else

Melee stun is being polled and would apply to both light and heavy weapons.

no wth lol it's not about removing stun
what r u on about
pvp is like 80% of the game atm cuz no one is doing dungeons, only kk farms and just actual leveling. It's not fighting for bounty it's fighting for fruits in BR since the exploiters aren't so abundant anymore
but obviously we're working on pve
i just needed a poll rq
Melee stun in general, that includes light weapons and heavy weapons
cringe lol but that's what the poll is for
people are still farming krakens almost every server i go in people are kraken farming
u guys asked for content as soon as it was done, not big fat 3 month update times
cuz they either aren't max, don't want to pvp or want a new fruit before they do

Marines can jail players, gain 20% more bounty than pirate grips, and cuff other players.
