Galactic war difficulty

Reaching lvl 85 was never the key to autoing the GW. When i reached level 85 i had like 100 completions left to unlock simming.

Lets assume they lower the difficulty, what will new players ask for in half a year? CLS giveaway because some part of the community is too far ahead? You are not even competing with those people, thats what arena shards are made for. If you decide to skip that part of progression because it seems too slow just do it.
(just noting: the GW will probably be the first store that you complete and thus become somewhat useless at some point.)

Besides there have been many changes that every player profits of: Mods and ship energy, Mod loadouts, raid reward changes, STR lifepool and mechanic changes. Get yourself some 15+ speed mods and GW will feel a lot easier. Get familiar with different tactics and counters aswell, you will need that knowledge in TW.

Funny you say that, 'cause I am against Palp. Another funny thing - when the other team is much higher level than yours, they tend to resist almost every negative effect. And yet another funny thing - when I finally stun Palp, the other 3 dps guys aoe my team and then the one-shotting fest begins...

Again, I'm not asking for a giveaway. I'm asking for brick wall removal - fights that cannot be completed under any circumstances.

GW is meant to be super difficult at lower levels. You’re not supposed to clear it every day. Nobody was able to at your level, even before the new(er) metas. It’s the same idea as not everybody having access to farm high level/node toons from the start.

This game is a slow burn resource management game. Only make 400 GW tokens a day? 50 crystals per day? 200 arena tokens? Spend them wisely, advance, build your roster, get more currency.

I'd like to understand the reason behind this as of today. This would make sense for a new game. It does not make any sense to me for a 2 year old game. It simply blocks me from helping my guild sooner.

You just have to grin and bear it, i totally get what your going through im 79 and have been struggling through this the last 10 levels, but it does get a little better.

I think it is terrible game design because that thing has made me just nope out of the game many times, im doing okay and then i get a 85 phoenix team at 76 and you just throw your hands up and leave.

It does get better, just get through it

Then you need to wack on some potency mods or something like that. Sometimes you will have to accept that you have days where you're up against a mad good team and theres no way you can win so you have to stop for the day, other times you can get through the whole thing without even breaking a sweat. Remember if you get bad RNG you can always forfeit the battle and try it again without losing any toons - but again sometimes theres nothing you can do no matter what you try

Gw prepares you to be better at this game.
Pumping just 1 team will not solve all thr game modes. You need different teams for. TB, Tw, events, missions, raids etc

This is a bad argument. Right now the guild I'm in is running heroic pit and AAT. I can't possibly have a team to contribute to that at my level, so this point is not relevant.

I want to add some input here.

First, you are in a guild that can basically give you free stuff. That is worlds better than trying to solo the game. I'm in a similar situation. I just hit level 81 and beat GW (for the first time in a month) two days ago. My guild completes all the heroic raids, and with my paltry 420k GP I can't do squat in terms of contributing meaningfully to any of them.

But the key is to do what you CAN do.

• Join the guilds TW's - they need at least 25 to participate, and even if you lose you get stuff.
  
• Join every raid, and make an attempt if you can. Even if you only put out 10k damage to that rancor that's still 10k more than everyone who posted a 0.
  
• Get your 600 tickets every day.
  
• Donate gear when you can.
  

If your guild is OK with what you are doing, great!

I wish it were that simple.

I’d like to understand you’re reasoning behind how a game’s difficulty correlating to a game’s age. Battletoads was released in 1991 and I still can’t beat it.

It’s just one of those things that is supposed to be hard and scales the difficulty as you progress. I didn’t finish my first GW until I was like level 75 or so.
