GPO dev tracker: February 2025
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.
39 dev comments in February 2025
Trade requests already use a queue, shown in the trade request spot while the player trades actively.
sure i can ask pho to make a queue system for trading
oh wait there already is one
:what:
it's not like the trade request doesn't get sent
it just sits in the trade request spot in the ui while ur trading actively with someone
Pteranodon's kit was written as a redemption arc for flying Zoans.
word, i usually just run with my boys i haven't rlly been solo queuing this season. too many people leaving mid match or giving up in the first 2 minutes of the match
lol
fair
lol
i wouldn't mind skipping christmas this time around no lie
if gpo MAKES IT to winter that is
tenor.com/view/minecraft-hoglins-nether-flex-…
no lol
how'd u even reach that conclusion
tori is 2 years old
rework included
:Royal: the kits just rn't that good compared to new ones
(not gold.)
tenor.com/view/daddy-daddy-japanese-tyranno-d…
i wrote pteranodon's kit to be a sort of redemption arc for flying zoans
if it were that simple
it'd be added alr
:facepalm:
stealing this
mero alr got touched by a random dev
i ain't savin it
no
that was from the before fore times
i rlly don't think i'll be able to get other variants of 2ss and 1ss added
:ezzah:
Battlegrounds mode skills would be dragged down to base, Tekkai would shield nearby players, and Half Form becomes a flight skill.
basically just dragging the skills in mode down to the base, fixing the tekkai so it can shield other people around you, adding a carry, and removing half form and turning it into a flight skill instead so the whole kit can be balanced properly once it can be used at all levels
im not against anything
i just don't have a strong opinion on it
my focus is main game content
gamemodes rn't rlly gonna fix anything
ye prolly
:kanye:
u ain't even try reading
holy moly
wsg adevilish
Suke will be nerfed in the next patch.
nerfing suke next patch
blame this guy
nice caps bud
calm down next time
The game is group owned, and devs receive a percentage of revenue.
i don't think bro knows what he's talking about at all
💀
of course the game is group owned that's how % is distrubuted for devs on % revenue
💀 what a dumb question
can't say
u might be slow, this isn't even remotely what i said
😭
no reason to retire yet, but i have my aspirations set alr :ezzah:
people refer back to my info alot so i keep them in mind
idk wut ur still here for then
copy pasta from yesterday is crazy, if ur bored just play a game or something lol
pho is the head dev
Light ray must be cast behind the opponent to pull them back toward you.
that's the light ray right? it does u have to cast it behind them on the ragdoll and they fly back to u
just m1 after that
it has plenty stun to extend if u move
Knockback was not changed.
didn't change the knockback
fix what
it's always knocked back
trying
no
Flowers were obtained from Boa Hancock during the first Valentine's event.
flowers were from the first valentines event u got them from boa Hancock
either way none of the old drops should be returning
Full form changes apply only in arena and battle royale, not in regular combat.
the full form changes r only in arena and battle royale, not in combat
i actually miss this model
The next update is Cupid Dungeon.
yea i saw
just send in dms
:ezzah:
next update is cupid dungeon
Tori's buffs are the only remaining item on the balance list.
im not sending anyone anywhere
can't make people do anything
i'd like something better then rose on release
i didn't tell him that i said "here you go"
takes alot to make a proper game on this platform
just know we haven't stopped working
tori's buffs r the only thing left on the list pho just never adds em cos they r soft reworks
they r just some options
i don't see the issue i play those games too sometimes
:ezzah:
i haven't, what does this solve? u tryna extend off of it?
lol should i?
we do all the time no one reads it tho lol
not a pvp buff
ok
gl gang
it's an epic but lowkey this shit cooler for pvp then most of the legs rn imo
im bullying people rn
now that i think about it this is kinda true
im the one that told pho to make an epic just so it's easy to get we're not changing
gpo players trying their hardest to pretend like they don't play the only thing to do in the game to get pvp builds
just sad
yeah i considered this too
no shit lol
why do u think im trying to fix it 💀
originally it WAS just a tekkai clone with thorns
but in the playtest it was unfun to use
Tori base was buffed to twice as strong and full form access was nerfed for all fruits.
i just used tori 10 wins in a row in arena
:what:
the base is twice as strong now
they wanted mode for a free win
no more
NO LESS
tenor.com/view/yapping-yapping-level-today-ca…
im one the biggest tori fans but im not a egocentric idiot about the fruits i like
it was my personal opinion that if u could get to venom full form in this day and age u earned it lol
but if i was gonna nerf access to full form had to do it for all of em
the ONLY one of these fruits that actually has it hard rn is buddha 💀
i've fought a couple builds just like this
they never stood a chance :[
they hope and PREY u don't know how to pb
but pb is broken rn so it's rlly easy to do
trying to get it fixed tho
Fruits are an accessory that improves content updates, not the content update itself.
ty
fruits r an accessory to better content updates not the content update itself
💀 wtf. first of all pho's a dude, second of all no
devs can't give items
third of all im happily in a relationship :Royal:
why would i lie about not having perms to give items
:skull1:
roblox dev* the difference is i make tons of money off the platform roblox players don't
im trying
Hyper armor skills are being tuned, and this change is the first of several tune-ups to the base.
just combo into the aura. also it's a precendent for future tune ups to the base it's moreso a reasonable change to hyper armor skills as a whole
this is just one of the first
not my game i just work here
we'll see
i do but i don't rlly trade
Tori's healing has been changed so that it is not an unkillable mode anymore and takes effort to activate.
go show me where marco does burn dmg
tenor.com/view/aokiji-kuzan-kuzan-aokiji-aoki…
i'll wait
hate to see it
:Bruh: o u might be slow
lol
everyone has passive health regen
??
u mean between updates? probably
i don't mind this
i'd hafta literally ask pho to stop
if u truly believe this, you had no idea how to use tori
i was gonna ping u a couple days ago about it but i couldn't find ur @
it has extenders, but it was nerfed because you could viably have 100 m1 dmg and have decent hp and stam
that was the main reason it was nerfed lol
then use it to add dmg to combos instead of trying to get a free punish on the people comboing you? idk?
it's not getting reverted, it also only effects full form anyway
u guys never like ur own decisions when it comes to fruit polls
it literally hasn't changed, it just takes effort to get the unkillable mode now?
iron fist:
????
this is true
i'll probably open dms again soon after the update has had time to settle
idk i could probably ask pho if they could be added to places like rose kingdom and the 3ss island
Tori has more abilities than healing, and Marco's skills show this more than healing does.
generally speaking tori has more abilities then healing, infact we see more skills then healing with Marco so the only way to think otherwise is if u watched one piece with ur eyes closed
and no it's not because marco is some crazy power house
lol
wanted to do more for an overall check but mini updates
this is specifically shown otherwise like 6 times
"all tori does is heal"
the fruit's most ICONIC move:

i reminded him, so we'll see
Bosses may do more damage based on how many people hit them, and the developer said this is being considered.
media.discordapp.net/attachments/105334752715…
there's no way
LOOOL
i saw that it's on the doc it's just not gonna be added till cosmetics like that r made
10
but most of them r for game mechanic changes and additions now rather then balance checks
talking about my doc not the update log
this one according to the screenshots
irb getting 1 buff
so far it's getting added slowly but surely
?????
bosses do more damage based on how many people hit them?
ion rmbr this being added i was just fighting smoker in pubs to help some people out
:HUHHH: how does that make any sense
i gotta go ask pho bout it
huh
trying to add more reasons to fight them first
fruits have to stop being the go to reward for everything in the game
:Bruh:
why would the new rewards be 0.5% drops
no bro
Premium suggestions are separate from DMs, and the developer's DMs are currently closed.
certainly not the ones in dms, u mean the suggestions in premium suggestions
heroes save things
does this look saved to u
:bro:
ur just reacting to my suggestions above those messages
the first halloween update with jester, ba'al and horo fruit
i did most of the vfx for that update
very fun
my dms just rn't open
i don't block people
licking screens can get u sick, don't be weird
tenor.com/view/aokiji-kuzan-kuzan-aokiji-aoki…
why would u ask such a question
wyd bro..
no
sucks right
i rmbr trying to get this added like 2 years ago
pho said no
can't no other one piece game to play
Pho will show the update doc, and the developer says they will be back when the update is out.
pho will show on the update doc
no
im ok
yes
i alr asked
yes
im not stuck with gpo, i chose to do what i can because i can
simple as that
Bug abuse is not bannable.
bug abuse isn't bannable
Irb-style spawns occur at the same frequency all game, but appear closer together as the storm closes in.
no, they spawn at the same frequency all game it's just as storm closes in the parts of the map they can spawn in get smaller so they show up closer and closer together
i read ur list bud, i alr added irb buffs
Adding more stun to Venom would make it bullied in every use except 1s.
if i add more stun to venom the mode its going to be bullied in every use except 1's
Tori is already fully stunned during M1s, and Venom has M1s in stun because they cannot escape.
tori is alr full stunned during m1s
venom has m1s in stun cos they can't escape
Fruits will stop being the base reward once more rewards are added, which the developer is working on with Pho.
ok what about this is floaty and slow gyazo.com/991b60bc8d309d33f114878c781e5cc7.mp4 so we can improve
fruits can stop being the base reward once we have more rewards to earn in the first place which i've been working on with pho
ya
lol
he's very much in the server
💀
bro just doesn't talk in here he talks in premium chat
of course he did
it's mid
:skull1:
but how mad can u be about the quality of the game when u left it's development team
:ezzah:
the legend arrives
i was NOT talking about u lmao
dah, do u dislike mochi v2
ong
😭
deserved??
:pepeBusiness:

tenor.com/view/daddy-daddy-japanese-japanese-…
future karma
for the troll u'd become
LOOOL
mf dropped a exerpt on why he WONT be using gomu over venom and you should be ASHAMED for even suggesting such things
this is the most recent view of combat, to which has also been fine tuned even more
The combat system has been changed twice and the latest version is no longer the previous combat design.
mf said next year
wut about the pvp looks bad compared to anything else u've seen on the platform
?
it's actually not that hard if bro locks in
this has been changed twice now
this is no longer how the combat works
?
when was the last time u peep the combat
The developer says the doc was influenced by Jujutsu Infinite, which is a battlegrounds game with quests.
ye it influenced some of the things on the doc
only jji isn't even a real game
it's a battlegrounds with quest
Kira is planned to arrive after the next update.
ur pretty old actually
like 5
u've been here since 2023
cos they rn't added to the discord every time
newest one that's in the discord is thien
yes
:Bruh:
i still love jinx's just deciding to be active, bro's learning to navigate the gen chat
bean and i just made one that might pretty cool to u
igu 🫡
idk about feet fruit u freak but the hana hana no mi would be fire
:Royal:
i don't always see it
if u saw the screen from my pov u'd understand
spring probably
but after the update it'll be kira
bean
have u tested ur own fruit
💀
FULL COUNTER
tenor.com/view/zelda-link-parries-hyrule-warr…
quality control is gone
in favor of just dropping slop as fast as possible
💀
onitaiji our concept artist told pho this 4 times before release
bro was like "uh it's backwards"
"will this be fixed?"
💀
shit was killin me
do as u wish just be respectful lol
he's not unreasonable or anything
The full form nerf affects how they function in combat gamemodes like arena and BR.
it's a nerf to how they function in combat gamemodes like arena and br
Full forms are getting nerfed.
it's pretty fun to use ye
tank fruit
you'll see on showcase
:ezzah: then you'll hafta see on release
i think pho said showcases take too much time or something
idk how that works
i do too
but ytrs do it anyway
lol
and u could always just not watch the showcase
sometimes pho gives the greenlight but most of the time no
a couple years ago they were no longer allowed to make videos on the content off the update on release
realistically speaking bro, venom was not catching anymore nerfs 💀
i was just asking just incase someone did have a good idea
but no one did
however full forms r getting nerfed :dancin:
Fruit rarity is rolled first between common and mythical, then a fruit is picked from that category.
not how it works
it's about quality control
gpo has 32 devs and an unknown amount of extra commission devs
exactly
made by people outside of the dev team
lol
even if pvp was fixed somehow over night
what does that have to do with the majority of the game (PVE) being awful
???????????????
balance checks r NEVER
going to fix the game
in any reasonable capacity \
like i said, quality control
32 devs
maybe 5-7 worked on the recent updates in the past year and a half + extras
that have no idea what they r doing
with different styles and work flows
and no direction or deadlines from pho
take this number multiply it by 5 then add a $ before the number and add USD and you'll have the average revenue monthly still
:Bruh:
great so 33 devs that think they r going to fix the game as 1 person :ohmygoodnessme: (they have been making 1 fruit for 6 months)
nty
no more devs pls
we don't
pho just doesn't fire people
this literally solves nothing
💀 reverting 2 years worth of content to a worst state of the game fixes what exactly?
you can't rewind wasted potential bro
what a fool's ideology
holy hell
even IF we could
the best update was update 3.5*
Stamina regen was nerfed but now regenerates continuously, including during stun.
i think u can but the rate is higher in first
stam regen got nerfed but now it's always regening even during stun
so if ur managing it properly u shouldn't run out
unless u have 0 in the stat
they would be even if there were alot, cos no one would be eating them?
there would just be more in ur inventory
?
yall keep asking for commons but u wont eat them lol
adding more changes nothing
i think the confusions lies in none of u understanding how the rarity system works
you're not pulling a fruit out of all the fruits in game, the system spins a rarity between common and mythical THEN it picks a fruit from that category
so there could be 100 common fruits and it wouldn't change the rarity of u getting a common fruit compared to legendary fruits
💀 there'd just be more common fruits
he didn't make a new one they r all alr made
auto generated lol
bro probably has like 50 alts
can't without proof
sure
here ya go
🫡
i figured
👍
igu bro
ye
the fruit that stopped the strongest slash in the world? an epic?
:pepeBusiness:
my goat Jozu must not be disrespected like this
the islands aren't far apart from each other
there's just nothing between them AT ALL
💀
actual travel time to most islands in first and second sea r actually pretty reasonable
IF the sea was so empty
i've wrote a whole bunch of things to fix this issue
the point of a common fruit is it's mitigated to fit the supply and demand chain
their potential is unleased in alot of areas just not all of them
because they r commons
no one handles pricing but pho
i recommended this a while ago
dk what happened to it
kilo squads wiping teams off the map in br and in conquest flags
💀
gear 4 could easily be gomu v2
would just pop when u die
yes
only place to get chests rn is br
the v2 wouldn't be
just like pika v2 isn't
lol
me personally
if i wrote pika v2
it wouldn't be so boring
tenor.com/view/druski-shrug-idk-iono-hands-up…
but thats just me
:dancin:
the v2's r ending up to be visual reworks instead of awakenings
:skull1:
they r taking the blox fruits approach 4 years too late
bet
idk if pho has any plans for g4 tho might need to suggest we start on it
discord.com/channels/424362445847396353/91136…
they refers to the people who run the game
nope
i'll be sure to tell the people still playing the game that g4 is not coming because no one is playing the game
love that logic
:what:
so anyway
yeah, i get that
but generally speaking, commons are also hard to make without downplaying fruit concepts or over buffing them when there's a pretty strict rarity system
at best commons would be enabled for v2 development and that way they could be fully explored
if it's up to me
chop never gets added to the game
:what:
in any capacity
this isn't blox fruits, chop doesn't rlly work here
the game's base is 7 years old
what does that have to do with the question
:hmm:
irrelevant comparison
im not making anything
im just here trying to adding better things to the current game
💀 gpo 2 has almost no effect on the state of this game tho
to ur mental sure
cos ur clearly losing it
💀
i don't understand this reference
:silentangry: geppo gets u out of these said "inf m1s"
i'll show a clip
that's a skill not a m1 string
Fruits can be obtained by winning BR, Rose Colo challenge, Law raid, krakens, ship farming, dungeons, or trading.
there's alot of ways to get fruits then, there's winning br, doing the rose colo challenge in rose kingdom against lucy, there's finishing law raid with the highest damage, there's farming krakens and great krakens, ship farming, dungeons gamemode, or trading your items for a fruit
nah
atp if we're talking pure power scaling
pts luffy or post wano luffy
:thonk:
yes
pts luffy doesn't scale very high in this game most of his kit is in the game as gear 2 on gomu
that being said gear 2 scales very well for it's rarity
ye but im talkin about ways to get legendaries
yes
Chests have been removed from Impel dungeons due to the exploiting issue.
the economy was ruined the moment dungeons added fruits as a reward instead of real game drops like cosmetics, boss drops and unique titles n such
but
even then
it wasn't br that finally broke it
it was cupid dungeons
💀
chests have been removed from impel cos of the exploiting issue
even without exploiting it was like a 6-8 minute dungeon if u had pika or magu
or knew the method where u just throw her under the map
💀
ignore it and fix the actual game first
playtime is not content
ong
i plan on getting pho to add a new one
i mean realistically i do have some stuff written down for impel
it's just not top priority rn
yes it was made by a random
roblox was, we were just using the base anti cheat + our own
and it worked for like a month
so far not many good things at all have come from the commissioned devs pho has hidden away from the rest of the team
:skull1:
the quality is on the floor
bro will be fine
pho's a dude
:hmm: u knew u just didn't accept it
be so fr
💀
no one has defended the broken pb timing
no one is engaging with u anymore so ur TALKING TO URSELF
CALM DOWN
LOL
:frenchjoy:
ur a lil too comfy with that word gang
it's on the list
World Ender heal scales with opponent HP and is the slowest sword in the game.
the heal is based on the hp of ur opponent and it's the biggest sword in the game so yeah it scales heavy
💀
it's also the slowest sword in the game
:HUHHH: wtf r u talkin about bro
ur fucking lying bro 💀 i run into dudes that pull out world ender when they r losing in arena all the time
they do less then 3ss users rn
:frenchjoy:
LOL
bro lost 1 time to wender and was like
THIS WILL NOT STAND
:Bruh: pho when he ran into venom in arena after ignoring my balance checks for months
i am
cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/11148096983701…
if played well, venom is unreactable
:ezzah:
if played well u never need to press the mode button
the things i used to do on venom
media.discordapp.net/attachments/546051174097…
i'd love to see a goro do anything but paralyze without getting perfect blocked
:Bruh:
ah
so lightning flight, paralyze and wrath combos
i mean venom has something similar only it doesn't rlly hafta worry about being pb'd
and when that fails
it's still doing 300+ dmg when u get ur hands on them
update 4 alabasta gameplay colorized
that's the plan stan
:what:
it was not
im not adding celestial dragons to gpo bro
The developer said they had no intention of nerfing a specific item.
and ruin it in other places since we don't have the tools to support this change
tenor.com/view/holes-zero-you-got-to-dig-them…
he said he had no intentions of nerfing it
tenor.com/view/daddy-daddy-japanese-japanese-…
the goat
the name of the movie i posted is Holes
lol ok
💀
bro has trypophobia and blamed it on the movie
LOL
called
HOLES
holy shit
:frenchjoy:
that took me out
nerf what about it
The rare and epic fruit tiers have no real difference, and zoan and logia cannot be rare or epic.
i see 0 pride in this message
:what:
sometimes yall just talk to talk
anyways
ye atm
i have an idea similar to this but it's more interactive
💀 don't fuel bro's flame
he's here right now
tenor.com/view/yapping-yapping-level-today-ca…
can't till we have something better
br at it's core is fun
we need something that isn't prone to exploiters
all of this is alr in the game
i tell u wut
the "rare-epic" gap needs to be removed
human hunt is wicked
there's literally no difference between epic fruits and rare ones
💀 pho wont let a zoan or a logia be a rare or epic
so they might as well be the same thing if they have the exact same properties
smoke has never been a common
if it stalemate's mera in canon
following this logic, nothing permits mera to be a legendary
it's the most reactable and punishable fruit in the legendary category it has 0 utilities other then flight and it has the least amount of skills in the catergory
the only thing it does is burn dmg
if i block mera only has 1 move
:ezzah: does that sound like a legendary to u?
meanwhile smoke will throw u around all day if they know how to use it
tiring
that is untrue, gura is in almost the same position
lacking 0 utility at all, no mobility skill and being highly reactable it's best skill is a grab, and it's counter now shares a global cd
:hmm:
u guys over hype the "legendary" tier but it doesn't matter the actual strength and value of most legendaries is reflected in game whether you like it or not
(they don't have any value by themselves that's why LC's r so valuable cos it's ALL of them at the same time at a random chance)
im pretty selective but its important to give everyone a chance
that was me
fun fact, i made horo before i even know what one piece was
lol
i asked pho recently if i could redo it for halloween like mero was
he said maybe
but that was a year ago
gpo is what got me into one piece
now im #1 fan
LOL
it was bad bro
i was like wtf is haki
i found out the hard way when i run into the first full sword mastery 1ss user with haki and i was thinking i was unbeatable with my hie hie no mi
:aware:
"how r you hitting me" to keep it short
despite the faults pho's made to the game, i can't fix it without him
:ezzah:
rmbr that
LOL
to be fair the game had no tutorial
bad game design is often excused just so the devs can say "this game has little to no hand holding"
but u can do a tutorial via the questline that hints at things you may need and vaguely where to find them
why wouldn't i
why wouldn't he
💀 we're not enemies
he can't work 24/7
:ezzah: if u ask me gpo is a different kind of one piece game then rell seas
u don't play both at once? u play the new one and alternate between which one updates first?
a product of negligence and poor planning. doesn't mean we have to stop tho
this
it's been mobilized for kiddies that don't even make it pass shells town cos the start of the game is horrendous
bro did all that work for mobile players just for them to be less then 10% of the player base
:frenchjoy:
i'd call it karma
we were all noobs once tho
with even less information then now
:ezzah:
no game has the same structure if any structure at all enough to call themselves a complete rpg
true
the influx of new players compared to old players leaving is negative
and our retention is negative as well
the reason for people to come back is less and less everytime they play rather then the other way around
gpo was never supposed to cater to the 9 year olds
it didn't need to
actually at the moment
gpo has a ton of content if ur new
we don't have a content issue
untrue
the issue isn't content, it's content quality
there's not always alot of content when ur new to a game
if i go jump into a battlegrounds or something how much content am i guranteed
oh it's not? but he said every game
:frenchjoy:
bro not even apart of the convo
my fault
dw bout it lil bro
there's like 5 things u can do after hitting max, i know for damn sure no one got to max with every item they wanted lol for starters
dudes act like they hit max level and all the sudden they r sucked into the void
💀
most often then not you hit max THEN you get to the new content am i wrong?
no duh??
let me tiktokify it for u
then what happened to ur comprehension
boss variety doesn't hold up to modern times but they r varied for the most part so idk what u mean
u go from a normal bandit boss to a dude with a bazooka and crew mates that shoot at u with guns and shotguns, to a boss with a axe hand and skills that can summon marines at will, to a boss that can't be hit with swords and sharp weapons
?
like i said before
not a content issue
a quality issue
no one is talking to u bro
ye i have plans for this
Guard breakers were reduced by 90 percent with longer cooldowns, slower movement, and reduced damage reduction.
mero:
gomu:
am i trippin?
i removed 90% of the guard breakers and increased the cooldowns and slowed down the movement speed and reduced the damage reduction
There has never been a release date for the game, and the team is currently working and testing.
yeah
???
we never had a release date bro
you'll see on release
gl
hype hasn't gone anywhere lol there's just no reason to be over hyped rn
we're working and testing the game rn
