Galactic war difficulty

You have been given great advice. You can choose to ignore it, but your GW will always be a struggle if you do. Know that if you build an uber g12 before you reach L85, your GW is going to be very hard.
Learn to live with it or change your strategy. Your choice.

I’m my first guild there’s level 85 players who consistently did better than me in every raid and in arena, and they still can’t finish GW some days. At level 85 it’s supposed to be easier. But it happens. It didn’t stop them from progressing.

Like I said. The game is a slow burn. GW isn’t preventing you from progressing. It’s just difficult. That’s it. Unless you’re a whale, this isn’t an immediate satisfaction game.

Sometimes I wish my GW was harder. Some days I can beat the whole thing with my g9 bounty hunters or g9 ewoks. And some days it takes more, and I am thankful I did not have any g12s when I hit L85.
I do think GW is harder for newer players simply because they can reach higher gear levels before L85 than launch players could. But manage your roster differently and you can mitigate the difficulty.

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

I understand what you're saying, but my point is that this is a bad design and needs to be reworked.

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.

Sounds like a bad example. I'll give you a better one - look at how Diablo 3 end game changed as the game aged. Nobody is forced to slowly grind to max levels anymore. And that game doesn't have a guild mechanic like this one does.

It’s just one of those things that is supposed to be hard and scales the difficulty as you progress.

I'd like to understand why. Seems like a bad design to me.

I guess I'll have to live with this bad design, because there's no better strategy. The best strategy is still to push to 85 with a single strong squad, anything else just puts your more behind.

GW is frustrating new players without a good reason. That can't be good for this game. Some will stick it out, some will leave.

Sometimes I think it would be better if GW simply stopped after a random node, instead of throwing you against impossible teams. There's nothing positive coming out of that.

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

The sooner you accept this, the more efficient your strategy can be. (and the sooner these complaints stop :) )

It might be a good lesson to learn except you CAN pump one team and clear Galactic War on a daily basis, though admittedly it takes a very strong team.

GW has been frustrating new players for the entire life of the game. As for the impossible teams, there’s no completely impossible team. Maybe impossible for you at your juncture, sure. But I’ve seen GW teams that I couldn’t scratch, and they just made me better strategists and showed me what I need to develop for arena.

There isn’t a reason why it’s difficult. It just is.

This is not a counter to my argument. First of all, how is this supposed to be a good reason for it? Second, this is not a new game, and putting unnecessary road blocks in front of new players does far more harm than good at this point. Third, you're not addressing the biggest problem - some players may choose not to continue playing solely due to GW frustration.

Those are two completely opposite goals. If I develop my arena team, I hurt my GW performance. This is exactly why the current GW design is so bad.

There isn’t a reason why it’s difficult. It just is.

Hence there's no reason to keep it as is.
