GPO dev tracker: December 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.

38 dev comments in December 2023

Benere says they made the old Tori model around 2021.

Nah I made the old tori model
back in 2021 I think

kxroharuRelease timing#general

GPO does not currently meet console platform guidelines.

not that simple, console has different guidelines than PC and Mobile, and gpo doesn't meet them

kxroharuOther#general

The game has dungeons and open world content, though it is not primarily a dungeon crawler.

ye we have dungeons and open world content as well it's not a dungeon crawler primarily but u can be a dungeon clearer if u want
lol wut

kxroharuOther#general

The game has its own story and lore that players discover as information is released.

rn the game has it's own story and lore you'll have to discover as more information on the game drops
rare innit
someone has to do it tho (without slapping an anime on it for clicks and money)

kxroharuRelease timing#general

There is no release date until the game is fully finished.

no release date till game is actually finished
we're not rell seas or gpo
thanks gang appriecate it

kxroharuMechanics#general

Peroxide has endgame content, and SSS invasions and boss raids give PvP-focused items.

that's not even that, getting those things were very rewarding cos the npcs actually fight back but then u have to do it like 40 times to get mastery. also peroxide has end game it's just kind of mid
the sss invasions and the boss raids only contribute to getting minmax items for pvp cos u didn't need them to do top tier pve in the first place
:ezzah:
boring
type soul only downfall was treating the game like it had died alr and just doing whatever they wanted
no
not even close
:Cringe:
best way to play roblox is to rotate games
there is no "main game"
none of them have enough content for that
cos they think im an admin
ye that's a pretty penny? usd or rbx? if it's usd then ye it's pretty solid
it's a lil low for 2 games but u can always make more
or advertise more
o 12k rbx..
eh
u gotta start somewhere
still better than the average
roblox player
most of them never thing about making their own robux
gpo probably makes millions of robux a week still
yessir
no lol

kxroharuBalance#general

The old vertical Ice Age hitbox was very large, and Hie stun could stack in the past.

dude i've been playing gpo since release and i can tell u first hand there was nothing balanced about hie bl kiribachi, df mera and magu users or pika 1ss
:Cringe:
if ur gonna lie
atleast be better at it
yes
dude the old vertical ice age hitbox was actually a skyscraper and back when hie stun could stack
holy shit
no end lag on tp or soru dashing after m1s made the craziest combos dude
with release suna and 2ss? lol bro's lost it
idk why u'd want someone to punish u for hitting an attack on them

kxroharuBalance#general

Goro has a cooldown reduction, with four sources of it.

dk how ope would be ass at any anything other than pve
dk how ur supposed to beat the ope user if u scared to go in the room
goro alr got a cd reduction
4 of them
reread
never will be
u can if u use counter shock first
wrath a combo starter gangy
uhm sharing accounts with other players is against roblox tos so either way
i wouldn't do it
np
i used this fruit to afk farm fishman island to max over night
im sure goro has more uses
cos law ain't a punk like normal ope users
no real grind is for children
u will not catch me bandit beating
:Bruh:
fuck i look like
90% of gpo is pvp
be so fr rn
u spent like wut maybe a day or two on the update before getting atleast 80% of the all the items?
💀
true
they r all 10% drops and most players still have hours or 2x drop
i didn't make gpo pho did
:skull_distort:
crunching the numbers as we speak gangatron
im actually working on rell seas as i chat
ye
bait used to be believeable, ur ass is fiending for release
see u on release 😭
hush clown u tried to call ope ass for pvp, also rell seas base pvp is twice what gpo's is :skull_distort:
it's harder to mess up like pho be doin
bro makes one change unrelated to anything and everything breaks anyway
got nothing to do with me
:Bruh:
means from the start the pvp isn't dog shit
did u watch the dev log at all at what point was it anything like blox fruits
u can't even block in blox fruits there's no game like blox fruits 💀 it's truly for the kiddos

kxroharuBugs & fixes#general

The reported issue is a Roblox physics bug and will not be fixed.

it's not a bug that'll ever be fixed just apart of the game atp shock punch and other similar skills can do the same thing like venom spit and power mochi and hiken
before mes wasn't a true on anything but gamma knife not even perfect block, now if u land a perfect block u get a free mes
that's the whole point of radio knife did u want a free barrage on top of ur 7 other offensive skills too? or is that too much hand holding mr mythical fruit user sir
i can heat up ur milk too if u want
i just said it's a bug just not one that'll be fixed
it's a roblox physics bug not a game bug
nothing can anymore haki was the boost that got u to those kinds of numbers without pouring 1.7k points into a dmg stat lol
lol seems like a rubber band issue
when was this
this week?
how much does he have in strength

kxroharuBalance#general

Mes received a startup buff, and Thorn's stun can still extend combos with Shambles.

not only did mes get a start up buff, but thorn still has enough stun to extend with using shambles, counter shock would never miss if u just use it correctly, surgeon mode has some of the best skills in ur kit like the impale shot and the radio knife being free dmg especially since impale can be used to start combos if u use it right as they m1 u

kxroharuMechanics#general

Counter Shock has enough stun to close the room and then attack the opponent.

lol.... nah the shit was doing with ope when i had it
fun fact counter shock has enough stun for u to close the room, go m1 them and counter shock open the room and keep m1ing
lol
if they r running out of the room best way to stop them from running forever is to close it right?
just open it back up after u stun them
:ezzah:
u only need the skills the size of the room doesn't rlly matter they have no choice but to eventually fight in the room
or they lose

kxroharuMechanics#general

Gravity field cannot be used in the air, and dominance only works near the ground.

ah i see
ye
u can't use gravity field in the air
dominance only works on the ground u might be like a stud off the ground maybe if u jump but it work wont till ur closer too the ground
just block earlier for a free pb
would be nice dk bout paw rework i think it's pretty good don't think it needs a tp dash tho
paw has a really high dmg combo extender and good neutral skills rn
the only place it's weak is pve imo
that being said dominance is still a true extender rn cos there's no m1 endlag so u can just freely white walk into it again :skull_distort:
paw barrage is an extender
start up is true if u uptilt into it and it has much much more stun on hit so u can m1 after
every fruit would have 1 extender if pho didn't stop breaking the vide ogame
u have to use it quickly on uptilt not after the uptilt
if that makes sense
we used to do that it was pretty bad tho
everyone would vote for one thing and complain when they got it
i'd rather rebalance than just buff things up till everything is op again
the goal is for pvp to approachable without having to sacrifice viability in pve
ace ?
same weapon that does like 200 dmg per skill?
and has a counter?
idk man
nah i used to tod in that update cos dmg far out scaled hp
whip does 20 and it's whip grab isn't even a true extender anymore
stop lying to me
no, yes
u can't use flame pillar in mera flight anymore
there's literally an and in that sentence asking 2 different things, no it wont be tradeable and yes you'll keep it
just grab them
buddha's full form grab has insane range
also flame pillar does no dmg to buddha
especially smart buddhas that have 70% dmg reduction
it didn't
immortal thistle:
typo it was decreased
i use it all the time against mera's
ntd
lmaoo
no
gonna call it the winter anniversary update
it's obviously not a christmas update
yes
it's one of the strongest pvp fruits still no clue wut u mean
up to pho
nah probably not goro alr has an increased stun passive

kxroharuTeasers#general

Infamy logging existed in a test place but was removed before release.

o send
we had infamy logging but pho said it was buggy so he removed it. it was in test place but he was later removed before release

kxroharuMechanics#general

Infamy islands are intentionally hard to hold when other players contest them.

it's supposed to be a large distance it's supposed to be difficult to hold all the islands in the server if someone else is also trying to gain infamy
:ezzah:
that's where the heat system with npc waves would come in
u'd never just be sitting there afk anymore
could also make it so if u die u lose the point and whoever takes it after that gets the infamy be it a crew member or an enemy
it's so easy to fix
why would they not
huh
if u read what i said there's an easy fix for that

kxroharuBalance#general

M1s currently have zero endlag and block is inconsistent, with a planned stun change.

bro has no idea what he's talking about :ezzah:
which greatsword
half the balance checks r buffs
kkgs just got a cd buff
:skull_distort:
bro is upset his weapon doesn't have 2 extenders anymore
i should've known he was a drone
im leaving
sure i'll help
u in a pub or ps
dude everything is true rn
cos pho broke the game
m1s have 0 endlag and block is inconsistent now
clip
no
never is never will be
no
m1s need endlag albiet slight and block is broken and breaks m1s too
if u try to tap block and m1 ur m1 hitbox phases through others
and then there's a chance u DO hit them but there's no m1 stun
so u both just m1 each other for a brief moment till the game realizes something is wrong
i don't trade
dude was playing a completely different game
im sure someone is
cos we don't all do the same thing
:Bruh:
prolly not it's only been 3 weeks since the last one
bari? trash? lol bari is one of the few fruits that completely annihilates evasive
just use a daze skill into bari cage and u win
they can't evasive
:ezzah:
since when does that ever mean anything
u did just watch us miss halloween by 2 weeks like we always do didn't u?
i tell yall every update not to listen to word bro says about the update
never works tho
me? personally no there's nothing i can do
if infernal rlly isn't true that's an easy fix
but from my pov sounds like a ping dif
but if i add a bit of stun on it similar to fire flies but a lil less it should be true enough for m1s
fr
nice try
bot moment
not going to buff evasive this one is just a test to see how it would effect combat with lower regen and high dmg
(but then pho went and reduced buso haki to ashes)
so no one does any dmg anymore
that's what i said
no it's auto mod from the chat bot
the actual evasive will probably be dmg based
u ever heard of just geppo to a ledge?
if u spent more time reading channel names instead of pinging someone to do it for u
u would've found it by now
chop chop
get to reading
o yikes br? lol gl with dat hope u got tekkai or bari
it's one of the first channels in the server 😭
bari and yami r insane rn
zushi is aigh cos u can pull evasive however u can't evade any of yami's skills cos they r all grabs
define bad fruit
paw? bad?
how so
the immortal bird from hell?
yeah ok
one of the strongest fruits in game rn since the m1 dmg nerf
stop lying
lol wut? the common fruits bruh?
😭
and it's still god on earth
imo a bad fruit is a fruit that can't be fixed with balance checks and needs to be rework
see if yall mfs said sum like ITO i woulda heard u out
but ur lost
lost in the sauce
or u just unable to play it
please eat another fruit and leave tori alone
it has 0 pve potential
that shouldn't be a thing anymore when we're getting put against bosses that don't take stun and have 80k hp
nah imma just rework it something i need to ask pho bout it later
like i just said a buff or a nerf can't fix ito
by then it's too late they can just put u back in the combo and u can't use it anymore lol people would just combo u till right before u can evasive then drop it with a mix up and put ur ass right back in the combo
the F button
i don't even rmbr why pho added mobile trading
:skull_distort:

kxroharuOther#general

Players are banned for begging for unbans, and ban evidence is not owed to the player.

consequences of your actions :ezzah: even if u didn't blackmarket u should never admit to doing something you didn't do
this is usually the only way to get them to stop acting innocent it's why we started banning for it
pretty sure we ban for unban begs
not like melody
but u know those people who never shurrrup about their bans
:skull_crazy:
the thing is ur not entitled to seeing ban evidence it's rlly up to the person ur asking
however i don't have access to ur ban info gangatron
im not a mod
u ain't beg

kxroharuOther#general

True permanent bans are not appealable.

most of the community doesn't understand that true perm bans are not appealable cos they r too young to understand the concept of a punishment
they think with a lil "mf og wont happen again" will get them repealed
its tuff
gone dw bout it no mo
if u haven't alr
just make an alt
suh dude

kxroharuMechanics#general

Pho has added the day and night cycle back into the game.

everytime pho adds them back people complain it's too dark
:skull_distort:
personally i love day night cycle
:ezzah:
fighting at night makes the fx pop
try fighting yami at night
it's so cool
the way tori glows at night is peak
that's a title not my name
😔
no "dev" will not
yeah that happens sometimes too
it's weird
we'd be fighting at arccolo and all the sudden
no one can see shit
:skull_distort:
lol wassup

kxroharuDrops & rates#general

The drop chance changed from 99.9% to 99.5%, and the 2x drop rate changes nothing.

i need u to understand it went from 99.9% to 99.5% and that 2x drop rate changes nothing cos it's still under 99%
:pray:
i would but im not a mod
:cya:
u pinged me but u can't ping a mod?
:thonk:
perm means forever gangatron

kxroharuTrading & economy#general

Fruits can be obtained from other players through the trading system.

it's only p2w when the only way to get the item ur buying is paying for it
:Bruh: like buying dark blade in blox fruits?
THAT'S P2W
buying a weapon or battlepass cos u'd rather spend money than time
is not p2w
u paid for convenience not an advantage
yes but OTHER players can get it for FREE
it's not pay to win
:Bruh:
fruit bag isn't p2w cos fruits aren't exclusive anymore it's also easy to obtain off other players now with the trading system
all buying fruit bag does is fill the free player market
u can trade for the fruit bag
that's a new one
relax
that weed was indeed not shit
got bro talm bout asteroids
nah

kxroharuDrops & rates#general

The drop rate is 0.5%, not 5%.

shut up punk ass clown
💪
5%
it's 0.5%
still 99.5% NOT in ur favor
gl tho
wym no way that shit is 0.5% do u know what 0.5% means?
i am very rare

kxroharuBalance#general

Both bars scale on damage.

Both bars scale on dmg
Read the update log please

kxroharuBalance#general

Haki no longer meaningfully buffs stark guns, per the dev.

nah gang m1 range is the only thing unhinged imo dmg is high because the m1 dmg is lower than light weapons the only weapon in the game with lower scaling is Vera’s whip
If u don’t like the pumpkin head spin ur race
Buncha bots in chat complaining about the stark gun skills man ain’t no damn way
especially since haki doesn’t even really buff stark guns anymore
The wolves aren’t true
I do it all the time in arena I usually just geppo at them and around them cos the hitbox isn’t around them only in front of them
not nerfing pvp for people who don’t have the ability to learn the combat system for a BANDIT BEATER

kxroharuBalance#general

Guns do less damage than a sword main with the same stats, with no true combos and slightly more range.

For less dmg than a sword main with the same stats no true combos and a lil extra range

kxroharuEvents#general

The past Christmas event was short, unlike the current nine-month Christmas.

it was also just a real short event
back when christmas didn't last 9 months
💀

kxroharuRelease timing#general

A prestige weapon will be released every anniversary.

yes i make the vfx
lol
ask benere not me
yes
there's going to be a prestige weapon every anniversary idk wut the big deal is i never grind for em
how would a dev spawn things in without cmds
it's just a collectible wym cheap
we do not

kxroharuRoadmap#general

Fruits are currently in the pipeline for future updates.

i mean we have fruits in the pipeline if we WANTED we could but if pho is just trying to do the update rq and drop it then no prolly not
no

Leopard is a legendary fruit.

do u think the more u ask the more likely it'll be fixed orrrrr wut
do u think the result will change when asking the wrong person enough times?
there r things i do there r things i dont do
this is one of those things
💀
good i wanna see that disparity because you couldn't find a new way to solve ur problems
lol also not something i do
simple, u don't play
if it's a reasonable time frame ur wrong
too high to be met atm
paradoxes are often perplexing
LOL
nah gang he's just big money bags he got every fruit on blox fruits perm and gpo pirate king
he's him bro :ohmygoodnessme:
correct
and rn ain't no strong connections here
:Salute:
no clue it's shaping up to be cookie cutter
cope with ur loses i ain't the cause :ezzah:
no idea
im like 99% no one on the staff team cares how dumb the trade market values r cos they r entirely up to the community
probably epic
not even
:facepalm:
nah gang u know what u did
leopard is 100% a legendary
:bruh:
spreading misinformation is wild, u must be bored as shit bro @2s7m
i do
only thing capped is ur comprehension
counter argument i just went into a pub yesterday with 5 tori's holding the point
i just go defense sword and run around till i find a legendary fruit user
they r the only people who wont run from me cos they think they can win
if u say so
does running ever work
no
i don't chase, i just wait for final zone
it's a waste of looting time
lol fr
i swear people be chasing the guy with an elf hat and a rifle down off rip like their life depends on it
just to get third partied and lose and come to chat to complain about it
what in the world :cringeasf:
ong
every point counts for the battlepass :Nerd:
idk what the hell that means dude 💀
uhm, swim up?
i am neither
tbh i have no idea, probably not tho
sweet release
suh dude
for what purpose
LOL thinking about that makes me laugh especially if it was like a paw or something
like they were going to be defeated 30 minutes later by the PAW USER they let run off
?????????????
there is no "next" island in dev yet so idk
just anniversary event :ezzah:
imma be playin AxS icl
actually he probably does lol
he is infact greatest of all time
bro works quick af
idk if christmas has an island or if it'll be a battlepass 💀 it's impossible to know nowadays till testing
imo when pho makes it so we can do private server battle royales he needs to add map options
content potential is in constant flux
i talk to pho all the time in dms
but i like to speculate
usually there isn't an answer we just take the report and send it to pho and he fixes
i haven't done the math in a while so idk
pho is chill as hell

kxroharuBalance#general

Tori can effectively heal infinitely until it runs out of stamina, after Pho gave it ult daze.

nah that's just how free it is for tori rn :ezzah: pho gave ult daze for no reason, and u can effectively inf heal till u run out of stam
literally
cos he doesn't rmbr how his game works anymore
be fr
gpo is goofy but we don't have one shots
last time i fought a tori he drowned in arena
combo does not equal one shot
my friend works on yba and even they disagree
L bait tho
b-b-b-but the PVE implications!?!?!

kxroharuBalance#general

Pho nerfed haki because it was infinite in arena and battle royale.

what it gotta do wit me
i didn't make the haki change pho did and he's not changing it
i will not
i make that in an hour
i asked him why and he said cos it's inf in arena and br
:Cringe:
like
ok?

kxroharuBugs & fixes#general

Leaving crews is currently not working, according to the dev.

idc if u ask questions gang don't be afraid (just don't ask me trading questions ion trade also mods get mad about it for some reason)
but uh no leaving crews doesn't work rn im pretty sure
i hope u get randomly timed
DO I HAVE A WHAT?

kxroharuCodes#general

Many things codes were used for are now free, and some can be bought with points in Impel Down.

ur mom pays me + L bait

ur literally one of the biggest community trolls
not atm
cool gl

Idk pho is helllllla stingy with the codes cos most of the things we do codes for r free now
no thanks
Fr
wasn't the code like 2k or something
💀 i know some people who still have 700 minutes
cos u can buy them for points for free in impel down

The mythical drop chance was changed from 99.9% to 99.5%.

yes, i have to remind u the chance went from 99.9% chance to 99.5% u wont notice much of a difference it's just back to the rarity of any actual mythical
i never used that channel, benere did
yes
or a macro
not everyone will be fair
no. :Cringe: i just said it's 0.5 bro
2x drop is still only 1% chance
i ain't playin

Ice age and frost blade are not true extenders for hie; pika only has combo enders and starters.

hie's only true other extender is ice stomp near a wall, ice age and frost blade aren't true
pika only has combo enders and starters

Evasives don't work on fear, which is why dullahan is strong.

half of the pve fruits got a buff this update like 3 times over, idk what u mean suffer it was only tori that got a sudden nerf because it was too good at both pve and pvp the mitigation was supposed to be keeping the bar instead u lost all 3
no cos evasives don't work on fear, it's why dullahan is so strong
yeah pheasant beak does
tori doesn't have 2 moves, that's only in base and even then it has a 3rd with the heal
ice age doesn't
it's supposed to be
it's base heal

kxroharuBalance#general

Pho nerfed haki damage because it was infinite in ranked and arena.

a good 80% of the changes i asked for are the ones that were highly requested and tested, the reason tori's mode bar got changed was because of pho this wasn't a change anyone asked for nor did anyone thing it was abusive to the game in any way i made a public announcement about it as well likewise with the haki nerf, zushi's original cd nerf wasn't my doing either, i only write the balance suggestions after taking insight and input from the community it's pho that official puts in the changes
tori isn't gutted tho
not even a lil bit
zushi has been fixed for almost a week now
what do u think i do here when im in chat
and as for not playing the game
i'd be willing to bet i have more hours than u
and even more just testing the changes i ask for
my changes r mostly positive, the only real issues im seeing r from tori users and people who can't hold F against mera
!rank
u don't see me in here? i don't see YOU in here
💀
im not the one that's inactive
i got rlly busy working on changes
but pho isn't rlly doing them anymore till next update so im a bit more active
no clue i've never even been in that server
a good 20% of those changes were made last minute and pushed out as an update while i was sleep
no one wants to wake up to this bro gyazo.com/d2e5e8e6753867acd81e2d969cfbe51d.mp4
ain't nobody ask for this
:bruh:
ace being broken has nothing to do with me
look at the haki dmg
that's max haki bro
it's supposed to be 20%
he nerfed it cos it's inf in ranked and br

Guns can no longer be used while airborne.

this is still just vague as hell, man sideline urself icl
this dude had 1000 more things to say than u
💀
sup
not atm
i don't handle false bans
elaborate
i don't handle that nor do i trade so a rec from me wouldn't mean anything
if u made an appeal and no one responded odds r ur ban is perm and u may not appeal
o cool
nope
kinda mid but not useless ig
can't use guns in the air anymore
then u have to land eventually
