GPO dev tracker: January 2026
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 daze mechanic should not exist on weapons, and may be considered for v2 fighting styles.
Agreed 100%
It shouldn’t exist on weapons
Maybe v2 fighting styles
wut do u think my job is lol
Sulong ult
The daze mechanic was originally designed for Gear 2's ultimate but was later applied to many moves.
It would and wouldn’t. The daze mechanic was supposed to be ult only when I came up with it for gear 2’s ult.
But it started getting thrown on everything
A haki customization feature where players can choose what haki goes on was suggested to the lead and is not confirmed.
ye
the one where u can customize what the haki goes on?
ye
i suggested that to pho a while back but ig he forgot
yeah sadly
New developers have been added to work on outfits.
lol thats insane
that would be benere
we got some new devs for outfits as well
Everything in the game has a confirmed drop rate that the developers choose whether to publish.
rlly gotta scroll up in that channel icl
but thx
everything has a confirmed rate its just whether or not pho has chosen to give it or allow us to say
no my response just isn't to u, i did what a person in position should do. i just went to ask the guy who makes the rates to show them publicly lol
not gonna solve anything talkin to u
nah i just meant i often ask for opinions and suggestions for and on checks
nope
:frenchjoy:
One specific item drop has a rate of about 1 in 2.8k players.
1 in 2.8k out of how many players
he's literally the 1 out of 2.8k
wut do u want me to tell u
:what:
no bro

lol
lying doesn't make u cooler tho

it was actually in the trump emails
im friends with a bunch of those guys but they've proven time and time again that just cos they r good at the game they have no idea how to balance it lol
LOL
knowing the rate wont make it any better for u
it'll just give u something else to be upset at lol
Dragon skills do not scale very high.
yeah and dragon skills don't scale very high :/
The Tori full form M1s issue was fixed.
not using the fruit most likely
idk probably gonna make a suggestion to put it back i'll have to post a video of the build so they can see what it was capable of despite reports saying dragon was weak
far from it
literally just no extender
i literally wasnt till we fixed the tori full form m1s
i can only rec cc to people i actually watch
not while it scales on df
The fruit's m1s were changed to df scaling through a community majority vote, and the balance team made the change.
so r u baiting on purpose or just take longer to understand things then others
true say, prolly forced hybrid now if u want to use the m1s they should've stayed strength but majority vote was for df scaling
my comment has nothing to do with the strength of the fruit, so i gotta ask the same to u
no
balance team did
New balance changes are expected to come soon, though some planned changes were not added.
rarely do we nerf without buffs igu gang
40k average is wut happens
far easier to buff fruits and add on to them in patches then it is to nerf them and wait to see if the nerf worked or not
Rent free LOOOL
I know bro, im waiting too
:frenchjoy: :frenchjoy:
some of them didn’t get added but new changes should be coming soon
I’m not sure up to how much content pho wants to do right now
A chakram vote will follow the current vote, offering a full-body chakram or dual smaller ones.
when the vote ends there will be another vote for the chakram if it wins, full body sized chakram or dual wielded smaller ones
The heal from the ability is not a full percentage and scales within a range.
nah its not full %
there's a goldilocks zone i think
A strength build makes hybrid form last forever.
clip it and i can send it to phoeyu
ping me #channel when u do
yeah but he said he put in the stat points
are u aware of the infinite mode in hybrid?
btw
yes
lol
wanna bet?
i've been using dragon since release
if u use a strength build hybrid form lasts forever
:ezzah:
Extreme mode has a stamina drain.
hold on wait, extreme mode drain? wow never thought of that.
he might be on to somethin
ig having infinite hybrid form on my build is a bug?
hm..
didn't know everyone else has extreme mode drain
damn.
which fighting style
A timing tweak to the perfect block system has been suggested to the dev but is not yet implemented.
i understand your point and i do agree that there should 100% be a tweak in timing and its already been suggested and shown to pho who's yet to implement it though. i also think that people need to stop saying m1 pbs like its one word or some kind of phrase that encompasses everything that's wrong with the perfect block system because it isn't.
ye
i'd say a 7 but it'll be a 9 once my girl wakes up, we got plans today
slip through the cracks, over time we've been trying to fix this
i've been nerfing hyper armor skills for like 2 years
everything is slow through pho cos we have to wait months for balance checks
think about how many updates we've had in 2 years
funnily enough that was on accident
lol
lol
i alr did earlier
i ain't doin it again im on cooldown fr
Removing M1 perfect blocks from the game is not planned.
seems like a circumstantial occurrence, could we not question why the better player in this scenario doesn't plan their m1s better afterwards? i'd run into bad players who land pb strings on me but do we not usually just adapt accordingly?
omg 100% rng bro
:/
removing this feature from the game
not giving inbreds the mic
no
i had plans to nerf pbs but removing m1s from the equation makes 0 sense lol
again?
have u been training for this moment azen
Perfect block window is planned to be nerfed, but removing M1 perfect blocks is not being done.
live life
uh. imma let u think on that one i think
lmao ok
sure
so with some luck u can beat the best players in the game or?
and if they pb ur m1s with luck + skill then what
cos what we're not going to do is act like we cant pb on purpose?
if the window IS bigger that also means you're rewarded for your reaction to things much easier? so u can pb on command correct?
or are m1s hitting your block also random rng events.
:what:
because it cannot be mutually exclusive.
sup
it isn't
dang 😔 all g bro
to what end
what does this actually fix
?
i alr used mine gangy
genuinely, they think im not listening but im deadass just waiting for an actual reason and solution to the problem
its pure self reports right now
"im shit at the game so can we please remove this feature"
but they have no idea that remove m1 pbs actually sets them up to lose more matches against better players who will no longer have to worry about you pressing block the moment u make a mistake and landing a perfectly timed block.
it goes both ways
discord premium goes to staff
not while 360 blocking exist
lol
Hybrid dragon M1s count toward the bar, so a strength build keeps hybrid form lasting indefinitely.
u still have a good block breaker tho
did i mention this build makes the dragon hybrid form last forever? because the hybrid m1s count towards ur bar lol
dragon is fine yall gotta get over extenders being the only thing in pvp
A strength dragon hybrid can deal 62 damage per M1 with fewer points than fruit damage builds.
guy has never fought a strength hybrid dragon user
fruit damage for wut, u can do 62 an m1 with less points in strength as a dragon hybrid then they have a mode that buffs all their dmg
?
just put like 200 in fruit and ur good
Holly Jolly titles were given out, and players who were kicked from the game did not receive them.
the holly jolly titles were given out, if u were kicked from the game that is why
