It's a real problem. I've only been able to complete one GW in the last 7 days and today I just hit a 92K power G12 zeta Jedi team led by Bastila Shan. My top 5 guys are only 66K power. That's a 40% difference. That's broken! As I search through the forum for information relating to GW (hoping to find an acknowledgement from the Devs that it's broken and they're working to fix it), the comments I'm finding from people frankly seem ridiculous. It ranges from the completely non-helpful advice of just suffer through the brokenness of GW until you're level 85 and can sim it, to people who are actually trying to be helpful and offer advice about how to increase their odds of winning GW using different methods and strategies (which is nice and all, but still irrelevant for the truly broken matchups). What I'm not seeing (yet) is the universal acknowledgement that GW matchmaking is broken. I'm confused about that. It is clearly broken. Unless it is the explicit desire of the Devs to match people up with battles they cannot possibly win, no matter how many attempts they take, how many teams they use, and how flawless their strategy is... then it is broken. And I would dare say that if that was the intent of the Devs... it's broken.

Let me be clear, I'm not saying that GW always produces bad matchups and that it is a complete fail. I'm not saying that at all. Most of the match-ups seem reasonable. However, there are clearly issues with some match-ups. It sounds like everyone knows that is the case. If everyone knows there is an element of the game (an important element as it's one of the best farms available) that is broken, why isn't there a stronger push to get it fixed? Is it because all the level 85s don't have to deal with it anymore and because they don't have to deal with it they don't care about everyone who does have to deal with it? Because if that's it, that's a pretty lame excuse to disregard something that is producing a bad user experience for a lot of people.

The Devs need to put caps on the match-ups that limit the power/gear discrepancies of the teams that are faced in GW. I'm not saying they need to make GW easy. I'm just saying they need to get rid of the match-ups that even they would look at and say "dang, that's broken". You know, like a 66K team getting matched up against a 92K G12 zeta team. That's broken.

Ok. Im currently level 47. What is your opinion of this guy ? I had an old account, made a long break and now made a new one. Just to see nothing changed in almost 1 and a half year. Its much much worse in fact. The third day in a row trying to get some rewards. Its impossible.
And btw, for the EA fanboys trying to explain scientifically what the GW is all about, please have the decency and shut up.





It's super frustrating. I just want the opportunity to farm GW and use the store, but horrible matchmaking is essentially putting a closed sign on the store.

Before the issue that arose almost 2 months ago, The match ups were working perfectly. Node 1 was around 60% of your top 5. Node 12 was around 115% your top 5. Synergy and zetas/abilities did not count. That was why you could still hit tough teams, but it was luck of the draw and usually toward the end. If you look at the numbers, they were still pretty close to where the match up was supposed to be. GW algorithm doesn't care what the synergy or the Overpoweredness of the character kit looks like. It just pulls numbers. Back late September/early October something happened where it CAN(not always - I have recently gone straight thru GWs with no screw ups, but have also seen them on node 1) pull numbers that it shouldn't be pulling for the account in question. That is where you are seeing level 50s matched with level 70 squads two to three times their GP.

I'm confused as to why a solution seems to be so difficult for the Devs to find. Can't they just assign parameters that are used to select opponents for each of the nodes. Assign top and bottom parameters for GP and Gear. For example, if your top 5 are 70K GP with an average of G9

Node 1
Bottom Parameter - 70% GP; G1
Top Parameter - 85% GP; G8

Node 12
Bottom Parameter - 105% GP; G9.5
Top Parameter - 115%; G10.5

Just examples, but totally doable. With node 12 above, you're guaranteed to face someone with higher GP and gear, but not so much higher that it is guaranteed to be impossible. Are there some meta teams that will be harder within those parameters? Sure, maybe even some that I might not be able to beat with 1 or 2 teams, but I would take this system any day over the ridiculousness of what's out there right now.

There is indeed a bug.

Thank you. It’s exactly what I think. This should be in a new post for everybody to read.
