Galactic War - getting worse?

Even guys like me with g12 pieces on our CLS struggle without resistance. Good day, 2 CLS and Han squad’s. Bad day, 3 and a luke without han on 10. So yes I often face 4 lukes to my one. Wouldn’t be able to do it without resistance. They are easily farmable, best all around zeta in the game, and anybody having bad experiences in GW that refuses to farm them should just bite the bullet or give up completing GW.

GW is supposed to be a test of the breadth and depth of your roster. But unfortunately, it is not. You need specific teams to beat it. Zfinn team even at low levels will help.
A good balanced GW will allow you to finish it using any set of deep rosters but not this GW.

Hi all

I know I'm not the only one with Galactic War issues and they've been going on for a while, but...

I'm finding that where it used to be impossible to beat node 12 with full 7* gold CLS, GK, Thrawn, Nihilus, Raid Han etc. Now it's multiple nodes of Gold CLS within one day so I can't even make it through node 11 (today is a perfect example).

I don't have any gold toons. No CLS and no GK.

Basically it seems to me that the tuning is getting worse and not better. Is anyone else finding the same?

Nope it's what it's supposed to be a challenge. In fact at a certain level it's the only challenge in the game maybe haat if u are not their as a guild. It was purposely made difficult before the great scapegoat that is cls. I read these forums and basically come to the conclusion that people would prefer one button that sims everything and just collect the rewards.

It's the only part of the game that penalizes you for increasing the power of your toons.

Nope it challenges u to utilize your power of your toons

No, it doesn't.

With all respect Ranger, I'm not looking for a solution of 'grind this toon'. Doing well at Galactic Wars (to my mind at least) shouldn't require having a specific toon or toons, it should be a challenge based on what you have.

I have tried raising bug reports and looking on the 'answers' board. This is trying to see if my experience is truly subjective and I'm one of very few people or if it's as widespread as I think it is from the other players I know personally.

I'm not trying to be a smart ... I had the same problem as you, but since I got zFinn and I started preloading TM I'm able to get all 12 nodes. Only having trouble with zQGJ because of the foresight.

Whereas my Zeta'd Sith under Nihilus or Maul chew through them, G12 or not unless they have GK

That's exactly the idea. You aren't supposed to do all of GW with one team (even though you often can). You're supposed to have a deep roster that includes the counter to every team you might face.

So, to stand a fair shake at completing any GW you need to have every possible team at g12 level 85 and 7* even all the legendaries? That totally sounds sensible...

Every possible team? No, since not every team is the best counter to another team. You can do it with just one team, and that team doesn't even need to be g12. If you want an even easier time, then you also farm the counter to the teams that your team of choice has a harder time with (like your example of using Sith against zQGJ teams rather than Resistance).

What doesn't get you anywhere is having a bunch of characters or teams that can't effectively beat what you see in GW, and then complaining that GW is broken because your preferred characters don't happen to be the magic win button.

The more powerful you are the harder it gets it's not getting worse it just scales with you.

As for leveling everyone to be able to beat it I only needed to use 2 teams for the longest time a good empire team, and my meta pvp team could always clear it in about 45 mins. But after reading about the hype of resistance on the forum I finally broken down when bb8 came out. And started saving zetas for Finn and gearing the rest. Now I clear gw in about 20 mins with one team. And I got a friend that has 3 separate teams that can Solo gw phoenix, ewoks, and nightsisters

P.s. if you get your your old school power of your 5 best to a total 50k plus you'll break node 12 over 55k and node 11 breaks (just guesstimating those power scores since an official announcement has never been made). And I've heard rumors node 9 can break at some crazier number

As for the the craziness I've been facing full gold cls team s on 6 9 and 11(until I recently broke it) and a pretty mean purple cls team on 3 and 10

You need closer to 57k Stat Power to break Node 11 now because more players have started equipping G12 gear. There will never be an official announcement, because the number keeps changing as the rosters keep improving.
