GA galactic power matchup

Formula is fine. Its your fault for gearing lousy toons while your opponent was smart about his decisions.

He has a limited developed roster, you have a more broad, moderately geared roster. He can't have strong defenses and offense at the same time. Your opponent will be hurt by one or the other. You can have a decent offense + defense.

You should focus on developing your toons more to outweigh the bad development choices you've made

You can set dooku as a defensive team instead of level 1 gear 1 Phoenix that your opponent has

You were running the meta for months, you reaped the benefits of it while your opponent didn't

Again, if your opponent has 20 good toons and you have 50 decent toons, you have more defensive room and offensive options than he does

Oh I also have an alt that’s f2p and have done this and win every ga battle. I win only because I know what I’m doing. Guess what back In 2015 there was no penalty for leveling and gearing everyone so we did it. In 2019 there is. Yet we day one people pay the price for leveling people then we would never now.

Its your fault that newer players are able to catch up to your character GP while you've remained stagnant

Please don't blame the game for your mistakes

What's your proposal for the formula they should use?

I don't sandbag (crossed 4 million GP mark) and chased the meta that has been irrelevant for a long time and face the opponents you are complaining about and I've had no issues against them. I'm not undefeated. I've lost against some, but that's on me. You can take what you have and craft strategies to counter your shortcomings, or just complain about losing

That's my advice. Since we are going to go in circles, I'm going to drop myself out of this conversation

I can see why ultra bailed on this conversation lol....but you are assuming too many things...how do you know your opponent spent thousands on g12+? I have no trouble acquiring those pieces (albeit slowly) and to say EP, Yoda, or han were bad investments is ludicrous....han is a raid character that doesn't require any particular character geared, Yoda used whatever jedi you felt like gearing and ep you could choose whatever rebels u like

First, i don't care much about GA matchmaking a lot, even if i am a player from the start with over a year break and (of course) a lot of crap and mistakes within my roster. I won a few GAs with weaker toons, and never really got last place so it is ok for me like it is actually.

But i can also understand why some players, especially the ones with an old unwiped account, want some more balance to the force ;-)

It takes a loooong time to build and develop, and you can't undone all of your mistakes you did because you din't knew what was coming, and how it will affect your gameplay. You cannot wipe toons that do not help you anymore to decrease your power. You can't deactivate abilities, units, etc.
The only thing you CAN do atm is to remove all of your mods from unused and unwanted toons. But that is just a drop in a bucket.

So one alternative to be competitive again (at least for GA), is to start a whole new account. Honestly i would not invest that much time again and would rather quit 'cause my patience isn't that great to do all these grinds again over the years (i am f2p). I like SW but i also like my time with family and friends, and to manage two accounts at same time or start a new one and abandon my old is out of the question (for me!).

Finally i chose option no. 3, to accept what i can't change, and make the best out of it. Obviously i decided to change my playstyle, don't level and gear every toon up, or activate it if not needed. Just the things i CAN do in my situation. I know that will be also a long way to come close to the ones with a second/third/whatever account without mistakes but it helps me to be more competitive over time.

Oh and EAs response when I sent this in and tried not to handle in public was it’s our formula good luck.

Ok so what about when there were only dooku and sidious metas that you had to gear to be meta

My opponent by my calculations has spent $2400 on g12 plus pieces alone. Don’t give me any of that nonsense you are talking about. You let me drop my day one people and get 100k go back then you have an argument. What you are saying is this I love ea and their formula is great. When in fact it has no thought. You basically are saying ncaa bracket is fielded by record only and not opponent.

Ultra I have 4.65 overall gp I don’t think I’ve been f2p ever. Next point
