GPO dev tracker: October 2024
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.

The Talons revert lowers damage scaling via the Devil Fruit stat, not a full sword-damage reset.
for those of you wondering, the new revert to talons isn't a full reset back to sword damage
It's a revert back to lower damage scaling via devil fruit stat
Burn damage scales partly with the opponent's HP because part of the damage is percentage-based.
it means u jump the gun on the ping u damn drone. so quick to denounce when u have no idea wut ur talking about
bet i'll ask
the burn is based on how much hp ur opponent has since a portion of the dmg is % based what are you talking about
it's a V1 fighting style it's not supposed to be hard to get at all
how much hp do u have bro 💀
no
dclaw is just a pvp reward fighting style
it still scales off fruit
waiting on pho to change
A recent change reverted Dragon Fruit scaling to its original version.
lol ur an idiot
it was a revert to the original df scaling
Hitting the pulse before the explosion knocks enemies down and stuns them; the move has iframes throughout.
Not sure if it was shown, but if you hit the pulse before the explosion on this move they will be knocked down to the ground and stunned till the explosion hits so if someone or an npc tries to geppo up to u they'll be knocked down
you also have iframes throughout the entire skill
i had plans to buff the start up so u can actually hit the skill but pho said he's gonna give it a week then buff if it's still needed. patience is our friend ig :ezzah:
in other news, dms will be open soon again
Update 11 is named for the Halloween update and a new mechanic; Whole Cake is the next big update in development.
it says update 11 cos the addition of the halloween update and the new game mechanic made it a full update
but whole cake is still the big ass update we've been working on behind the scenes during this one
i don't work for blox fruits lol
hush drone
Mera Hiken hitbox is slightly smaller than before.
o
btw yes this does the mera hiken hitbox is slightly smaller then it was
Hiken hitbox was nerfed, then slightly increased; Mera Hiken hitbox is slightly smaller than before.
btw
hiken's hitbox got nerfed alot
but it was too hard of a nerf so i wrote to increase the hitbox a bit
it got copied 💀
so if u were expecting super nuke hiken
that is the not the case
The bug has already been fixed and will ship in an upcoming update.
it's alr been fixed
just gotta wait for the update
:Bruh:
aigh word
it's for tori heal as well
Guns are being given the ability to fire more than once before reloading.
giving them the ability to shoot more then once before reloading
All V1 abilities have a quest to obtain them.
there's a quest just not a hard one
all v1's have a quest lol
only time
lunarian would be dope
u have to grind to pay for their skills
ONLY
nah lol would be funny tho
Yomi has an unevadeable stun because blocking during Yomi Stomp is not possible.
we've only gotten rid of one thing like this
ur not being reasonable ur upset about the buddha change cos ur a buddha main who relied heavily on the full hp heal
:kanye:
wasn't designed to have an extender
The block break slam skill with armor no longer gives a free unevadeable combo.
the same way it was used pre-daze
yall had it easy
spreading misinfo is against the rules 💀
it's a block break slam skill with armor it's not useless it just doesn't give a free unevadeable combo anymore lol
cope
ye a bunch
considering u still can't evasive when block break and the stun is about to be longer then every normal daze in the game
when the update is ready
it was added to the doc a month ago i even held a poll for it but it's up to pho to greenlit
Soru has a delay after M1 attacks, which is intentional.
ur chasing a false narrative
what your after isn't the original balance checks but the activity of the game in the past lol
same thing i say to people who keep asking for update 3 combat
:skull1:
pretty sure soru still has a delay after m1s so it's intentional
i said this earlier and no one got it
💀
Players do not need to be a Marine to obtain Iron Fist.
no u don't need to be a marine for iron fist lol
Bari is getting a buff.
yeah i think so
idk i didn't pay attention that whole thing
it was the old slot for discharge so i mean
:ezzah:
makes bosses more difficult to fight
dude wants me to reply every 20 replies lol
not that i remember
lol..
dude thinks we're done
wym usable, u mean bring back the 5 year duration?
easier
bari is getting a buff
it's just a v1
no anyone can get iron fist
we don't even know how strong bro was
gold was nerfed
The giant sword's range will not be reduced.
not going to make the giant sword have less range
Iron Fist is not a V2 and can be used alongside a fruit and a weapon.
iron fist is not a v2
yes u can use it with a fruit and a weapon
Festive Shield is fixed for the next update, and Iron Fist is not a V2 and will not change.
reply
cos it gets glossed over
it's on the doc
i mean yeah it would have less stun but atleast u can evasive the current counter
gura doesn't need 2 daze skills no matter the sentiment
no one does
im not witch hunting an ult and zoans and letting everyone else off the hook
:Bruh:
festive shield is fixed for next update dw bout the buffs
u have a buff that heals u just use that
means it wont be weak next update
i'd hardly call instantly getting 50% damage reduction while growing 10x everyone else's size vulnerable
not giving the transformation iframes either
you'll come to realize u didn't need it
no changes will be made to iron first
iron fist is not a v2
lol
u all thought it was a v2?
a V2 OF WHAT
:aware:
Daze is designed for big ults and some skills like Gura's grab; ult attacks are not perfect blockable.
So basically it'll just be meta to hold block take the hit to avoid getting hit with a combo. That encourages turtling in a game where block is alr too strong
now that shock punch is perfect blockable
block is alr too strong
shock punch has always been slow as shit 💀
no
having skills in the game that aren't pbable is stupid
unless it's an ult or something
like suna's ult isn't pbable because it's a 1 hit knockback
u don't know what ur talkin about
it's a multi hit ult
they were never supposed to be for combos
i created the daze concept for big ults, it was originally designed to be a cool effect for gear 2's ult
then it was added to gura's grab

Arena has no ties; the player with more damage wins at the end, and healing builds are indirectly nerfed.
buddha got tweaked, but yes the heal was fully removed
there's no tie
if u had more dmg u win at the end
it's an indirect nerf to healing builds
don't wanna lose as a healing build? better take both stocks instead of running then
:what: or ur gonna get timed
ur kidding right?
Buddha's full form heal is removed, with the change arriving in the next update.
ur good bro dw bout it
?
the full form heal for buddha is gone
:sideeye:
next update
it made no sense not sure why pho added it
tenor.com/view/sukuna-jujutsu-kaisen-jjk-anim…
The bottom option in the arena poll means yes, with a different outcome.
the bottom option means yes just with a different outcome
Iron Fist V2 has high M1 scaling, only 10 more than normal Fire Strike due to heavy scaling cap.
Im aware of the high m1 scaling
it's only 10 more then normal FS because it's a V2 so they have heavy scaling cap
Most fruits have only their B&B combo as their combo, regardless of rarity.
it's
a v2
of course it does high dmg
LOL
u can block the dips then move from block break punch at the end
k
buggin.
no
counter shock:
instant guard break thorn:
most fruits in the game regardless of rarity have their B&B combo and that's it
stiff?
Using M1 after Geppo cancels the player's momentum.
when u m1 after geppo it cancels ur momentum
Geppo gets cancelled on M1s, but the cancel works differently than other moves.
geppo does get cancelled on m1s
just not the same
The nerf is the same as every other hover flight skill, and the skill already has punishable endlag.
1 nerf
same as every other hover flight skill
it alr has punishable endlag
probably not
The buff is the same as every other mode's buff.
just 1
same buff as every mode
The planned change is not a big nerf, and it includes a buff; the ult will be nerfed but not gutted.
it's not a big nerf
there's a buff as well
:Bruh:
no
not yet
nerfing the ult isn't a gut so i said no
:cringeasf:
lock in
still no
not going to gut an ult, but i can nerf it
would it rlly be better to remove ults from zone u think?
if so i can do a poll
:ezzah:
if u actually tell me what to buff i'll consider
Dullahan nerf is already planned, and the community vote does not directly determine nerfs or buffs.
dullahan nerf alr planned, vote doesn't directly correlate to nerfs or buffs im just curious on what the community thinks and it may influence the document
no
helps me know how much they know
not voting for the fighting style with a 200 dmg extender that deals burn is wicked tho but ay maybe it's cos it's a mode not a base style
i don't rlly care what the early gpo players think
they were complacent with inf combos and unevaluated combat mechanics
alr have suggestions written down for it
yes
Without blocking, Mero bomb is a core mechanic and cannot be used as an extender.
mid
:Bruh:
ur serious?
no im asking if he rlly thinks mero bomb is an extender
there's no such thing gang
without blocking it's a core mechanic
0 dmg run
only works 1 way
that's like asking someone if they can run a 0 dmg build in elden ring with no rolls
:cringeasf:
A gun build relied on perfect blocks into gun headshots and used a macro, and that was patched.
i hit 1.2k when i testing all the "bad builds" in the game that needed "buffs" after people were giving me suggestions in dms
:frenchjoy: spoiler alert they did not need any buffs
mochi was one of em yes
ur cooked
LOL
i had to take those eu games to the chin icl
:ezzah:
i wasn't trying to have fun
i was trying to win
:skull1:
i did
cos when u win they r sick af
:frenchjoy:
i would win then go "damn that 300 ping almost sold"
"well played"
the mouthbreather on the otherside of the screen:

tenor.com/view/jeonqmi-mario-luigi-hat-flip-g…
shutcho
i got somethin those fishman users no gon like
🤧 they keep making hie seem like it's over tuned when it isn't
simple as that
not even a little bit
thousand fist ex tech doesn't count
i don't think u know what versatile means
if we remove water bubble
fishman
as a fighting style
fucking dies.
:frenchjoy:
like bro?
stop it
i did that when i ran a gun build
it was just based off landing as many perfect blocks as possible into gun headshots
i was using a macro to switch to every gun in the game
but it's patched
😔
not block
perfect block
:pls:
Full Form heal has been removed.

Elo Hammer was nerfed.
no less
but elo hammer got nerfed regardless
doesn't matter to me lol
Jumping in water cancels burn damage, but does not work for poison-only burn.
BTW, one of the changes on the doc is something that's already in game according to Phoeyu. Jumping in water already cancels/disables burn damage, probably most useful in BR.
Doesn't work for poison only burn
Mink stun currently stacks with M1s, which is not intended, and G-Staff is getting a buff for players without electro.
atm
it stun stacks with m1s
it's not supposed to
so rn m1s stun for like 15 years
lol
??? it has a true extend a counter u can extend off of and a faster block breaker
?????
dude
i main g pole
no it's getting removed, but gstaff is getting a buff that helps people who don't have electro
it's a speciality weapon
like moria scissors
so it's not gonna be buffed too much for people without mink/goro stun
it's alr an extender
just only if u have mink stun
Mink stun and Thunderous Dash can be used to extend combos, and mink stun is due for a nerf.
since u have mink stun u can extend after bite. And if you time thunderous dash u can extend if they aren’t holding auto block
but mink stun is due for a nerf
Mostly just the heal on transformation
A player who is dragged is auto point-blanked when they get up, and this was not intended.
U can drag but when they get up u will be auto pb’d
This doesn’t mean it was intended
nope it has a skill that’s close tho
High ping players will not be disadvantaged, and the flight duration is not an extender.
no. high ping players will be fine
it’s not that short just not long enough to use any high start up skills
it’s not an extender
Hie and Magu's passives exist because they are old and combat was not established when they were made.
yes
not going to do that, if ur afraid of water stay land locked
no cos it's only 1 move
:Bruh:
nah any thing that chains into the next skill
is a combo'
doesn't need m1s
:aPES_Blink: that's how one piece works
as for the game design spawn a kraken or something or spit out ur fruit
it's not SUPPOSED to be in ur favor
??
u have the favor on land
otherwise ur on ur own
?
it does
it kills sharks that get nearby if ur lucky
lol last time there was a fight on the sea an entire crew drowned to death
:cringeasf:
yoo
imagine
if we gonna do weird non-canon fighting styles
might as well be stuff in the game
:HUHHH:
u said they don't get flung off their ships in one move
but
they do
icl if u got hit by a light user on a striker as a mera going like 165 speed
round of a applause for them
holy shit
the light kick is the same
gl
what happens when u get hit off, press r get back on the boat and keep going
over a light kick?
Flight in combat has a countdown that starts when the flying player is hit.
not an ope nerf
shut up
💀 name another fruit with a 1 shot combo
just 1
what
no if ur flying
the moment ur hit
the countdown starts
yes
as stated word for word previously
100%
Flight duration in combat is limited so flying players cannot fly forever, especially in BR and arena.
did u forget what we were talking about? u were complaining about randomly being jumped at sea and being put into combat and dying cos the flight is limited in combat
but the duration isn't that short
it's just limited so they aren't flying forever
especially in gamemodes like br and arena
Flight in combat ends when hit, and the countdown starts the moment you are hit.
not an ope nerf
cos that was a dumb ping
lol
i forgive u tho
i don't need u too
💀 if ur in combat and so far out over the ocean u fall to ur death
deserved
runner
lmaooooo
cope tho
👍
why would u be travelling in combat
:aware:
buckle up then original gangster
u've been attacked by pirates on ur pirate ship
and u wanted to inf fly away
i don't handle bans or unbans gang
u can fight back
The hover flight change applies to every hover flight, not only Mera.
LOOOOOL
yoooo
chill
it's for every hover flight not just mera
Mera flight and Zushi flight now have a short limited duration in combat.
o wait
another one i cba to gif is hover flights the likes of mera flight and zushi flight now have a short limited duration in combat
stay out of the air
:what:
Indirect Ope nerfed; daze stun is standardized to a lower stun time, except Neptune's trident which is raised.
pho's working on the balance checks doc
but this one in-particular made me smile
indirect ope nerf cos daze stun is getting standardized
this means lowered across the board to a reasonable stun time
(except neptune's trident of course that one is getting raised)
gonna get back to testing
Yukio uses a separate cape slot from SKS, so both can be equipped.
yukio is seperate from the sks cape slot so u should be able too
you'll just have to rejoin the game then

The anti-team feature will be limited to Battle Royale mode.
This will be BR only
Halloween update content is being added alongside the Krampus update to offset a delay.
but im pretty sure the stuff for the previous update was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, so now to mitigate the delay that was gonna happen anyway pho is adding the halloween update content as well
Updates consistently face multi-week release delays, and half the update remained untested.
my word?
???
tenor.com/view/tobey-maguire-glasses-blind-sp…
far as i know i've never said anything about the release date
das on u for listening respectfully :pray:
we haven't even tested half the update yet and yall thought it was soon 😭
there's a multi week delay every single time
bro. read chat
u can have trust and hope in the devs just not in the release date
LOL
this is the same as "soon"
u thought it was soon
and it wasn't
