GPO dev tracker: March 2024

pho has posted the eta in #gpo-updates

trying to get some fixes, a couple balance checks and bugs hashed out rq

the update will prob be tmrw

you don't know anything so wym by that
yes
if alot of people were ACTUALLY getting false banned, you'd know and we would've said something
like we did 2 times people actually were getting false banned
:Bruh:

there is a quest for it
it's pvp based instead of pve
if u got a prob pick a different fighting style
wassup
no
depends on if pho adds souls
i alr read ur request bro

but this isn't rlly the case anymore, lunge is insane now, kick is true and has enough stun to follow up again, mirror kick speaks for itself (if u can manage to hit it that is), light flight didn't get bogged down with the pad cd change so as long as ur above 60% ur coolin with a free mobility skill
not to mention people forget there's more to pika then the fruit itself it's the combos u can pair it with
💀
aigh bro
every fruit has 1 extender
1 extender max*
:]
kikoku has 2 with ope because shambles can extend after one of the skills
idk if i count yuki extending into another fruit skill combo extending
unfortunately it is according to pho
so shit like using amputate to stall for mes execution so they don't use a counter skill or iframe move isn't getting fix
didn't those get nerfed
twice
it's just barrage on paw, bomb doesn't ex and only 1 for suna
yomi only has 1
it doesn't exist yet so idk
there's a pb frame during that
not like a skill think just if u tap block you'll get a free pb, but if u hold block u wont cos when block buffer was added pho specifically made it so u couldn't wake up perfect block
it's not a haki thing either
and a "chop" bar wouldn't fix it
as far as im concerned it just shouldn't be a fruit
this isn't blox fruits bro
phoeyu spec*

that's alot when your opponent wont go down easily just because they are limping, especially if you are too
there's no way to downplay it especially since that's not all it does
the extender does 200+ dmg
have u ever even used 2ss?
then what are you saying rn
do u want me to show u how much dmg an average 2ss build extended combo does?
incase u forgot
:aPES_Sob:
it did
but people keep forgetting
haki dmg was like 60% of m1 scaling
and haki got deleted
but it still scales like most medium weapons now
what people are actually asking for is for 2ss to have scaling higher than it should
but so did every other weapon
it still has the same dmg as most weapons with the same stat allocations bro
the people asking for an m1 scaling buff either aren't using 2ss or aren't comparing it to other medium weapons
anything that isn't a dagger or a heavy weapon
yes
weapon classification stems from scaling not animation, feel or looks
most people don't know this
but
kessui is a heavy weapon
no
cc is medium
it's just got fast m1s
alot of people couldn't
no one is underestimating pika, they just prefer easier combat options
but alot of people have no idea how much the pika buffs changed the fruit for pvp
lol
they r still under the notion that if they lost to a pika user it's cos bro was just crazy with it

no
no, the only thing fireflies is missing is a bit more start up when they put their arms out to use the move
it's capped that's why
if u have 800 stats for black leg u put in too much
the cap stops at like 600
every fighting style got m1 dmg capped except the sword styles like a year ago back in update 6
finding solutions to problems isn't exclusive to developers
it had very good m1 scaling
then phoeyu gutted haki
💀 cos they offer 1 stat to focus on and the use of a devil fruit ?
the only reason people don't use 1ss is cos it doesn't extend, but when it break it down the damage is stupidly over tunned on 1ss
only u can switch ur weapon anytime but to use ur fighting style u need the katana
ye
well yeah it scales almost as high as a heavy weapon, and the only skill it has a damage cap on is the barrage
the problem is the barrage doesn't extend, and it takes like 300 stamina
2ss has a built in extender, counter and execution
so yeah the dmg is a bit lower but that's because it has more secure hits then 1ss does
shishi son son does more dmg that nitoryu strike because shishi son son isn't a guranteed hit
💀 if ur going to downplay it to make your point stand then why even bother saying anything at all
you could just say u don't agree
the execution kills early, there's really no way to say it's not useful especially because it's 100% easier to hit than the only other execution skill in the game
mes
^
i understand, i however like to back up my statments with facts

it's just a bit easier for them to start combos now if they don't want to pour in 500 df just to do relevant damage

if ur trying to capture a point in the open world everyone else is also un-nerfed cd wise and regen wise.. sulong has 6 skills anyone with a fruit and a fighting style has bare minimum of atleast 9-10 + their weapon
it even's out
also the fact that only 2 skills on sulong have armor
wait no i think it's 3
i always forget the ult cos it has a 5 minute cd even when pads r off
lol
so i never use it

imo there's only 1 move that needs a nerf and that's the roar block breaking as for everything else? meh just nerf dmg scaling and sulong is fine
either the roar can't break block or it can't have armor
one or the other have to go
:Bruh:
most of them atleast when pads are on r also all over 20+ except 1 skill
thunderous dive and thunderous whirlwind are the most free chances to punish a sulong
not even
skill based punishes either
ehhh, kinda sorta depends on if ur using whip, but u can sometimes catch them while they r stunned

every skill has a 25 second + cd and 0 armor, the counter ISN'T frame one it's actually the same timing as any other cancellable counter
yeah
banning ace and not sulong gpole or vera whip is crazy
no
it's a reskin
the only thing that's supposed to be better is the buff
same as cc it just looks better visually when it goes away

so it made the pve grind satisfying af, every boss? yeah they all have the same chance to drop items so u can rotate between them for faster grinding. grind still too slow? there are more high tier bosses you can fight for the same drops but higher chance and they have their own unique rare drops, feel free to farm them inbetween the lesser boss cycles
not enough? there's a train that spawns every 30 minutes with better drops, exp, and etc
did i mention it has a nightmare mode
don't know where to start or what to grind for? built in encylopedia right into the in-game menu
don't know what loadout to use between pvp and pve?
loadouts
project slayers was goofy af but they had some gems
just like blox fruits isn't rlly enjoyable at all but they have some cool stuff like weapon enchants and upgrades, and race progression
literally
icl project slayers was lookin GRIM till Diabolicah showed up
a fire afk till it was taken from us
nothing will ever be the same quality
yes i believe they r workin on mobile
idk i've never played it
i do
just wish they could've dropped the entertainment district update before they dipped
💀
but nah, ps2 is the smart move
they r just remaking the game so they can make faster and more optimized content
no it's not
ow2 is an ABOMINATION
ow2 was the promise of what was good with the original + a new state of gameplay and story progression
we got
none of that
just more microtransactions
project slayers 2 isn't a false promise
it's just a revamp
ow2 was supposed to be a different game entirely for the most part
with the addition of it's already popular pvp system
gameplay wise it's the exact same as overwatch 1 so idk how much i agree
they better balance out races this time bro
or i will NOT be there
don't think so i'll try to get pho to add a few but not likely
u right
i had tori for like a month bro
i don't hate it i just understand that the last thing that fruit needs is yet another buff
it's invincible rn 💀
if it's going to get buffed it's going to get nerfed
fr???? what kind of glad rules r yall runnin
i don't hate mochi buzzcut just daze 💀
what in the
ACE?? banned??

uh... is it mid because it doesn't support your argument against tori or is it mid because you don't do them?
because it's not just impel, it's lucy colo, dungeons, ships, krakens, bosses and leveling that tori excels at
especially now that the ult dazes and true combos into burst
no one but i was making a solid point
i can't "allow" pho to do anything
bro's putting daze on everything
tori is like one of the few VERY few fruits in game that can DEAL with venom not just survive
what is bro yappin bout
personally i invented daze for gomu's gear 2ult
i didn't know i'd live long enough to see it brutally turned into the most unbalanced status effect in the game
that being said i made it thinking that when pho and i worked on the evasive that it would be evadeable
i was
mistaken
i did that too
this IS the sped up version of mirror kick
it got buffed twice
mochi buzz daze is NOT valid
people keep saying that, till they get hit with mochi daze's 5 second stun time and hit with the back half of pika's entire ult
the speed got buffed
from what i see people don't avoid mirrior kick they try to pb, fail then get punished then after the 3rd hit they realize "hey wait i can just m o v e out of the way if i suck at the game"
it was like 3 years ago when arena was first added
:Troll:
if flower sword aoe was even a smidge bigger it'd catch evasive
remember that next time u call it mid
pov: you're 90% of the skills in the game
what is the overtly vague counter play for a aoe skill
tbh i thought this was how it was gonna work, but it's not a grab
yami's skills identify as a grab
i think u misunderstood the %
LOL
media.discordapp.net/attachments/799279690618…
LOL
everyone asked no one is really asking to have it removed
people expect evasive to reward you for getting hit like it does in other games like project slayers and anime showdowns where u just lose stun and immeidately start beating the shit out of the person who hit you first
never let em know ur next move
project slayers did alot of things right lets not be rash
pvp not so much
but hey weekly balance checks is something gpo wishes it could do
balance had less to do with breathing and demon arts
and everything to do with clan favoritism and racial discrimination
being objectively stronger than a human as a demon was insane
💀 like it's accurate but gameplay wise it was crazy
if u were a common clan user and u went up against a demon kamado? gl
if it wasn't the 2x stam regen and healing it's the built in conquerors haki and healing skill only kamado demons can use
unlimited uses btw while the slayer heal was limited to a few users
💀
gyat
the pve for a bandit beater was perfect icl, project slayers knew EXACTLY what it was and wasted no time trying to pretend it wasn't linear af

shit at pve? isn't it the only fruit that can solo nightmare now? what doesn't tori excel at in pve bro???? law raid cos of the core??? and that's like
wait that's it

there's no comfort in death regardless of what you believe in, there's only the ability to not fear it and to find solice in knowing you cannot avoid it
???
i'll look into it
lol i don't think we can do that for mes, and as for Mero i think it sits just fine as a rare (it's actually a bit op atm)
im like 9 billion % sure that's for fishman v2 i've seen no shark boss in game yet so idk maybe it could drop as the way u get the awakening
other then that idk bro
your mother does
?
i alr answered ur question bro
the answer is no
💀
he didn't state one
we know that's what ur statment was incorrect
😭
mods?
it's too late for that
im pretty sure topics on religion are against the discord rules
💀
we're way beyond that
but it's a profound conversation starter as long as the conversation is civil who actually cares
(the mods weren't gonna do anything anyway)
no
im only waiting for pho to let me have it so i can add it to the balance sheet for update 10
alot of zoans
wut
what bro just said was not out of pocket and he's right it doesn't come from andrew tate
i would know this guy ron has said some goofy shit today
i do visual effects as well but recently i've been away but now im back to do balance checks
peroxide is doing just fine rn
wym revive it
also im not a dev
i just make fx for the game sometimes
nah, those r just the only positive principles he's stated there's alot of weird takes especially on women and that's where the controversy starts
i suppose? i've only seen the sneaks in premium chat

how the hell would u know, testers test all the time 💀
testers look for bugs and help pho with bug fixes and bug reports after release as well, they don't help with balance checks because that's not their job

removing the hit delay on hydra's wasn't a buff it was a bug fix and it actually made the skill easier to counter because it's directly on hit now so it's harder for them to follow up now
??????????????
bro gatekeeping the devs and testers
MAHORAGA!!!
SAVE MEEEE
sorry i refuse to say the phase of someone who got cut in half
:ezzah:
no i removed that

:aPES_Blink:
L bait
cos the community does that every update alr
fishman v2 is about to be released and not a single tester or dev has gotten their hands on it yet
💀

2SS
Increased m1 scaling
decreased the stam on raging whirl for 2ss
Nitoryu Strike doesn’t need haki to hit logia users
Hyper Armor added to Rashomon Draw
Increased stun on Tower Draw
all bro had to do was fucking read
what a punk
bug fix not a nerf
cos it didn't work on non-logias
no
mera going to stay mid
the ult getting hyper armor isn't a real buff?
it doesn't fit ur narrative that 2ss gets no buffs so ur trying to denounce it?
so what a bot
anyone who wants a free 20% execution??
😭
never
gyazo.com/ef7b4eb5d799e876d601ed297780b417.mp4 rell seas tho :ezzah:
will have a gorgeous mera
in spite
i've never seen jojo 💀
nor will i
who is this for
:skull_crazy:
ur on ur own bro
bro wants no games to play
release dates don't equal release
most games drop a release date early then end up delaying
tales of tanario did it 4 times
just to have bugs and shit anyway
rell seas would like to avoid that shit
obviously
it's the biggest streaming platform in the world
do u just say things bro
he just says things
😭
:ezzah: my fault
:ohmygoodnessme:

half the kit breaks block, u have tp dashes that don't scale on hp, a barrage extender, a counter, a teleport, the biggest aoe ult in the game and one of the best block breakers in the game
7/10 coulda been so much more if the combat wasn't from 2011
also if it was optimized and had streaming enabled that'd be great
war and pve
most people don't use ults in 1v1 regardless
it is just press the button right as u uptilt and it'll confirm
🗣️
i could reduce the start up similar to gear 2's barrage then
since it's an extender anyway
i see no reason not too
no
that's because tori is nothing like it was on paper
lol
also tori was a bad example icl
tori is invincible rn
:skull_crazy:
wild bait
it was a walking tank on release as well just with increased dmg and stun
u want a tip bout sulong
2 of it's skills r free punishes
the start up time ?
dude
for thunderous dive?
😭 it's MAD long and the best part is
they can't charge or delay it so it's the same time EVERYTIME u feel me?
like mirror kick
pho
so once u learn the timing to perfect block
everything else is a suggestion at best
nowdays some of the things developed the devs aren't even all aware of cos they get commissioned by some random or made in dms
team communication at an all time low
:ezzah:
whirlwind being virtually unhittable if opponent is just paying attention
testers r for bug fixing and bug reporting after release not for balance checks
cos at the end of the day the end game is pvp
ignore all the people who kraken farm and impel frame and sit in trade hub all day
at the end of the day they r trying to for things to pvp with

yeah G1 is probably the best over all island for war it's only downside is people traveling to first sea or camping the very very tall towers with paw tp's when low makes wars hard to end cos it's hard to geppo up those places when in combat
wanna bet?
it got the nerf it deserved and it's still not useless, because you can still paw tp downed players and teammates
the reason there's less paw users is because the paw users with a skill issue dropped the fruit for an easier time in pvp for bounty
that's not a reason to buff it back
it's what happens everytime a fruit is balanced lol there's a massive drop of use in the fruit over all

when people stop acting like there isn't a mode built into the fruit now that instantly buffs it to a epic tier fruit with every skill type in the game
suh dude
but what specifically about gomu would need a buff and i'll jot it down
in war buddha is often more or less used for the buff something no other fruit can do, bullet sponging so downed teammates don't get paw tp'd or ganked and occupying a venom demon if there's no tori
ope on the otherhand? the only thing ope rlly does in war is shambles and tact
they have the choice to select one person to specifically stun and do high dmg too
other than that
vfx
dressrosa, no water, 3 open fields, different terrain elevations and solid vantage points
less lag then alabasta, and no water shambles from ope like in arccolo
that's just what mochi ult is for, pika, magu, and bomu are all capable of doing the same thing only for longer and with more dmg
shells town is nice but everyone would have to travel to first sea
it's why the mochi ult hold was nerfed to 4 seconds
but i see ur reasonings behind ope, however i think another nerf to ope's only valuable skill in team based pvp is the wrong move
considering the ope can only select 1 target with said skill despite it being aoe is enough of a handicap
shambles is staying as it is because it can extend of skills

buddha has other properties + dmg, such as a self/team buff, damage reduction and stun reduction
ope has a stat condition they need atleast a minimum of 300 df to be effective buddha does not

could make it so u can block throughout the whole frame of evasive
u good bro dw bout it
i decided a time alr
:Bruh:
it's just general
what part of u good is beef
my join date is 3 years before urs
if u wanted attention u could just say dat
if we're bein honest here that is
there's no stun just m1 and skill stun, but u can move, geppo and block by the end
well actually
u can geppo as soon as u evasive
if ur a legend why r u explaining urself to me
ye i said that earlier
good thoughts tho
u got anymore?
pvp
content is
:EyesSquint:
just don't evasive during grabs
there's no fixing that icl
it's blockable that's why
buddhas skills all break block tho bud
the only real way to set up tact is to counter shock then drop the rocks while they spazzZZzZZZz out
ope doesn't have short cds just twice the skills
most of the skills have a cd longer than 17 seconds minimum
even shambles
atleast with pads on
in open world anything goes
ye

btw
if ur a bot sthu rq
aka the "buff" "nerf" requests without elaboration gotta go
ion read minds
i got a few tricks for ope
i asked pho to make it so it's just a set size and doesn't scale off df points he said no, so im gonna try something else
every fruit above rare terrorizes br
i got plans for venom tho
as for venom demon we'll see if i get pho to nerf poison dmg

rn the updates are coming in this order mini update > mini update > big update> mini update > mini update > big update
mini updates in between big ones
sulong is considered a mini update
and so will fishman v2

whole cake arc is a big update and will take a while
mobile is already half finished

kk i will tie it in with the next mini update
should be out in a month :Pray:
or a couple weeks

tenor.com/view/jinbe-gif-18052776

im just joinin to slide gate then i gotta go back to work :p
when it's finished
every zoan will have hybrid and full form
when its finished
venom isn't a zoan

dressrosa had all the fruits actually, impel didn't add anything but buddha and a shit ton of weapons and replayable content and balance checks and conquest and flags and crew fix and oops was that too much for an update?
that's impel he's literally asking for something that's already in the game
there's a guranteed set price for all the items in impel + extras
like gamepass items for free
with more to come 💀
bro a D1 yapper
:Salute:
then trade, it's simply an option
an option ur only ignoring because it doesn't fit your narrative of gpo content
💀 if u wanna say gpo is boring say dat but u don't have to lie about whats already in the game
we just dropped 4 pve updates back to back
pvp then :EZ: tis the end game

impel was part 2 of dressrosa update it added all the stuff dressrosa didn't have 💀
