GPO dev tracker: December 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.

Sneak peeks will only be posted when the game is nearing a playable phase again.
we plan on only posting sneaks when we're nearing a playable phase of the game again
Cursed Captain and Jfit have returned in past updates, and a Halloween update included Ba'al.
untrue, also cc has returned twice. and jfit had a chance to return 3 times but hasn't
we literally had a resurgence Halloween update last year with Ba'al it could've happened but didn't 💀
Chat command cooldown was lowered.
tenor.com/view/low-taper-fade-ninja-fortnite-…
i am not a chat mod gang
but i'll ask ig
naw
it's a bandit beat game so ur going to have to be specific on the term "viable"
ok chat cd lowered thanks to Ducko
Only Pho handles codes.
naw. it's just after a while u gotta start calling it like it is
no clue only pho handles codes
Fruits remain scaled off of Devil Fruit stats.
nah, fruits should remain scaled off of devil fruit even if it makes arbitrary sense
Rell Seas is still in testing and is not releasing yet.
actually rell seas isn't doing anything yet, it's still going through it's testing phase and further development will be made even after that so to say it's "releasing" would be false
if you could clip and ping me here i can send it directly to pho #channel
serversided anti cheat can only do so much
Players should not expect a big update for at least a couple months due to long development pipelines.
ah, thanks for the clarification. i think the goal initially was to drop this with whole cake and the current iteration of the christmas update has become a bit of a trend/tradition with gpo so I think pho doubled back to it since it was well received last time with the addition of the updated battlepass having actual wearable clothing (last time it did not)
but that's just my guess
if i were u i wouldn't "expect" anything big update wise for at least a couple months
the pipeline for these things usually tend to be very long
even if we intend to release them quickly
:ezzah:
90% sure the cooldowns r random af
just like gold's cooldowns were on release
godspeed man
is it anti cheat rubber band? or something else
it is
there's like 10 suggestions on the doc for gold lol
The ult cooldown is now 1 minute 15 seconds after the buff.
this makes even less sense btw
never probably
if pho gets to it in the bigger update
it's now a minute and 15 seconds as we speak after the buff, you have no idea why you're actually upset. sit down
yeah but i never gave pho a specific number cd
The ult cooldown was reduced from 1 minute 30 seconds to 1 minute 15 seconds.
because the ult cooldown was a minute and 30 seconds for no reason
:Bruh:
don't say "magu buff" like i added back the hound block break
it was a pve buff
please rewrite this
always trying to think of both
not my idea nor do i have an answer for u
Transformation invincibility frames were changed because players abused them to avoid ults and final hits.
people were absuing the transformation iframes to avoid high value skills such as ults and final hits in br and ranked
:Bruh: if u must know
Blitz Barrage will likely stay similar, while other Mochi skills except Spiked Donut Roll will be reworked or improved.
ok blitz barrage will prob stay the same or very similar but the rest of the skills besides spiked donut roll will get reworked into new skills or be improved
The mochi curse
:laugh:
The new Awakening-style kit is a rework of existing skills rather than a true awakening.
didn't say it was bad but when i see awakening i think an improvement
it's just daze on every skill and smaller skills
this is a rework not an awakening
:ezzah:
A bigger balance list is coming in a larger update, with small balance checks possibly dropping in between.
bigger balance list still coming on the bigger update
small balance checks here and there will probably drop as well
A meetup is planned in Florida first and New York second week, in the United States.
a couple places, here in the states first florida then new york second week
lol what happened to pythix
💀
n word bypass huh ?
:frenchjoy:
server rules r hilarious
A recent update added a single fruit with a 0.002% drop chance.
their updates r a single fruit with a 0.002% drop chance lol it's not the updates that keep the game alive
it's the gacha system
stalling out getting to the update content
log off
lol
imagine
forget finding fruits just spin for them with insane chances
u can update a game all day but if no one wants to play they wont, they has to be a reason to play. if what you said was true then anyone who's ever played gpo would come back every time we update 💀

32 + commission devs

:ezzah: ay mane release dates only hurt the devs
maybe like 9
pm very few devs left treat this like a main project
2027

The pending healing changes apply to overall healing moves, and regeneration is considered part of combat.
just overall healing moves, regen is apart of combat
i don't speculate releases on content showcases
word, cya
Tori is not getting another direct nerf; full forms and healing should be reduced naturally by pending changes.
tori isn't getting another direct nerf, full forms and healing should be down naturally after this if all changes r added
almost, next time read the entire sentence not just what you wanna read gang
u can't bait me, u just look stupid :frenchjoy:
Tori fruit has two damage skills in base and two block breakers across its three forms, and its damage is not being changed.
the only context in this situation is tori's ability to stay alive very well in game
to which i said is the only thing tori has
but for the most part, tori's do eat alot of dmg but lose often because at the end of the day they don't have the means to overpower you without just being good at the game
tori doesn't do any more damage then it should for a fruit that has 2 skills in dmg skills in base and 2 block breakers between all 3 forms
:kanye: im not touching the dmg
eventually your stamina will run out or you'll lose more hp then you can heal even with stamina items
if u dont know how to fight tori because u've spent more time thinking there's nothing u can do then actually trying to counterplay then i cannot help u
bait out their brand by keeping your block down while they r in hybrid for a free pb then just combo them
the healing is already cancellable but they still have a block button
break it
if they use r then they are wasting stamina regardless no?
:what:
gl tapping r to block a guard break when it has a longer cd then most block breakers
:pepe_eyeroll:
jesus christ
tenor.com/view/jesus-light-christ-gif-1466149…
what a boost
Tori is being nerfed.
wasn't going too anyway, the only thing tori has rn is sustain
:ohmygoodnessme: nerfing as we speak
Iframes for 5 seconds are not completely useless, and the dev uses dash mainly to evade ults.
i literally only use it to evade ults
other then that it's highly punishable cos of the endlag
:ezzah:
because that would be cool
nuff said
iframes for 5 seconds will never be completely useless
lets not overexaggerate it lol
Tori is no longer directly nerfed, and counterplay to the mode is being added with more on the way.
tori isn't super op strong anymore just has mode abuse that's about it
but there's alot more counter play to mode now and more on the way
im not nerfing tori directly anymore tho
so
adapt ig idk
idk i stopped testing stat caps a while ago
hope and pray for ifrit
horo doesn't need any buffs just bug fixes
the heal is cancellable, the ult is perfect blockable if they try to use it raw, and phoenix brand is one of the most perfect blockable skills in the game. also burst?? f button?
lol isn't that what gold is?
slice slice fruit and captain kuro would go hard but realistically bro
be so fr
o
like blox fruits?
probably not
when u press the dash button and it doesn't go on cooldown did u think it was a visual bug or??
:what: ur just not observant bro and that's ok
mogura will probably be made
what does that even mean
ur slower in flight because u have 5 more skills then tori and a quick dash
u traded 8/10 traversal for 8 skills
and a mode
💀
i'd add a thousand non canon one piece movie content if it meant we could delete all the random league bs in the game lol
Spring jump can be fired three times without cooldown in the mode, and it does not scale off health.
could've been worse
could've ended up worse with a fruit like bisento was before i finally got pho to fix it last patch
💀
the mode makes it so u can fire spring jump 3 times without cooldown a mobility skill almost unparralled because it doesn't scale off of health
😔 bro don't even know how the fruit works fully but wants a buff
leave me alone gang
Tori fruit's Spring Jump can be replaced by using the triple jump skill, with dashes turned off.
turn the dashes off then? and use the triple jump skill instead?
there r options?
:Luigispin:
u know what else makes it worth eating? only needing 300 df to do 200 dmg per skill
the move isn't bad?? the other options only come from the mode being on
c'mon bro
use your head
:pray: no one wants that
it's my goto in br for this very reason, no legendary? i'll do a billion dmg per skill instead and third party
facts
but
:ezzah:
DK is not being made by the main developers.
his face was his pfp for like 2 weeks
:dead:
by a discord shop accessory
dk isn't being made by the main devs
imma get back to work now peace
Dev says Wci is a planned island and that DK is not being made by the main devs.
for gpo? naw there's only a couple of people on % alr
hope and pray for v2's
i don't fully know what this is but looks like a fruit that could've been reworked or whatever is getting sidelined for a fruit that 100% doesn't need it :dancin:
maybe cos wci is a planned island
💀
tenor.com/view/point-laugh-jake-gyllenhaal-ha…
no clue
wasn't made in the dev discord
the only one on the planet who refuses to accept the obvious
:facepalm: it's only the question of the year for people who want pho to be a girl
Ice Age has armor but it is not frame 1 and does not fire during player stun.
that would require the same amount of moderation effort as a ban
that's fire af
gyazo.com/eeebd574dfcaee8d975777ddff5785a6.mp4
i mean i can't go 1 game without being called a teamer just for watching someone die
💀
hold it
it doesn't have frame 1 armor
that ice age has armor but it's not frame 1 and will not fire during player stun
im nearing 1k hours on the game
i play every mode except dungeons
if u so much as breath on someone during a 1v1 ur getting reported
so the admins r not tryna add it
then to add a punishment for false reports would be even more work lol
i don't no life the game i have a job rmbr
:frenchjoy:
i have an extra 500 hours on the test place as well
im just a roblox game dev lol
the hours slowed down as i got more and more busy
it's not like a play everyday anymore
if ur good or have % yes
nope
no and no
up to pho lol
when it gets added
not confirmed if they r even being made
Haki HP was already nerfed previously.
no hp was alr nerfed
:facepalm: british people
ong turning it into a naruto game
deepwoken is boring
:Bruh:
Sword and Strength scaling is adjusted so sword skills and fighting styles do not deal the same damage, to prevent min-maxing all three.
for what? sword and strength to do the same dmg on sword skills and fighting styles?
to keep the scaling from being like blox fruits
where people min max all 3
💀
Mera is not being nerfed for no reason, per the dev.
please block
I’m not nerfing Mera for no reason
atp it’s a REFUSAL to adapt
i will do no such thing gangy
Paw Bomb has been reverted to being a combo extender instead of a block breaker.
Not an extender anymore it’s a block breaker now
Paw bomb has been reverted to the combo extender again
Competitive mode is not out yet, and the current queue mode is for short queues.
it's for short queue's cos comp isn't out yet
Dev says they do not script, and front end scripters handle the scripting while others do both.
roblox man
is it a 2025 thing?
dk
i alr did for like a week did u miss it?
fair
i wouldn't know i don't script
i haven't scripted since pre-fe
u think all devs script?
:pepeBusiness: i got news
vfx
visual effects
it does but i don't do that part
i leave it to the front end scripters
there r people who do both and there r people who do only front end cos they suck at vfx or vice versa
it's a bit convoluted
