Galactic war getting unbeatable?

It's WAY harder since protection came about. It's like starting each battle with only 2/3rd health for each of your chars. I've heard multiple guys complain about how hard it's been lately. For some reason, the guys with droid teams seem to have no issue with it though. Everyone else gets crazy strong matchups or either matchups that can absolutely destroy them even though they are several lvls and sometimes gear below the team they are using.

I've had this argument before, but protection has actually made it easier, if you have healers. With the addition of protection, they also lowered damage, giving you more opportunities to heal up.

All protection did was make it take longer. It did not increase difficulty, regardless of perceived health levels.

I beat it today and yesterday and for the past week, none die.

Barris (L), Luminara, Fives, Rey, QGJ/GS/Sid/Daka Depending on the team
They are all within 1000 points of each other so I could interchange, all gear 8; Fives and Rey gear 9.
Rey one shot kills gear 6 characters or remove full protection on tanks like RG. Five's protection usually lasts 10 nodes.

Before the battle ends, all abilities are cooled down as much as possible and chars are healed.

If a really hard team comes my way I use my B team
Dooku (3* L), Phasma, RG, Vader/Kylo, Mace

And suicide squad is always Chewie (L), Ewoks. Usually focus on one char, to remove as much protection as possible.

Lumi 76 g9, HK 76 g9, JC 76 g9, RG 76 g8, Sid 76 g8

Sacraficed many other teams

Something has definitely changed. I've been completing GW without fail since January, and the last two days I failed twice... I'm glad I'm not the only one...

This is another reason I'm not buying the gear to go to 9/10 in shipments. I'm worried that if I get my arena team too powerful, I will stop being able to clear GW. So I can't just buy a few items, I have to buy 10+ to get my full GW roster on par with my arena team.

Right now I can beat it no problem, but if I got 3+ nodes in a row of arena-quality 33k+ teams, I'd be screwed.

Yes usually around 9 or 10 ai full protection, 2 levels bigger than myself fully geared! And ive been playing since launch around 1500 g war wins not fun!

CG thinks you should have 5 fully geared teams so get busy.

Yes. And you should, eventually. Kind of the point of the game.

CG also thinks GW should be too hard to complete every day.

I've not completed it since the protection update, I'm level 76, ranked 96 in arena, lucky to get to node 8 or 9, people say just retreat or do b squads, suicide squads but trust me, it's different for different people, I get 7 star teams with gear 9 at node 4/5 and my healers get Sid heal blocked and targeted instantly. Find it weird that so many people are cruising through on auto

I dont believe anyone who says they can cruise gw on auto. Only the whaliest of whales with 15 to 20 maxed toons could do that... rng alone would make it impossible.

But with the help of a few suicide squads it should be an issue ton complete.. may take an hour or so (which makes me angrier every time i say it) but its easily do-able.

Its strange sometimes just attacking the toonsnin a different order make the difference between impossible and easy peasy.

Example: enemy team: Rg, ig88, dooku, sid, lumi
My team: lumi, asaaj, qgj, jc, sid (or EK or mace)

Normally id knock out sid, ig88, lumi, knock rg to 50% then take out dooku and mop up.
But for whatever reason i keep getting demolished by heal blocks so i change and do literally the last thing i would normally do and attack dooku or lumi first. Suddenly RNG takes a turn and none of sids blocks stick.

Doesnt always work that way, but it has made the difference for me many, many times.

Similar here, though I am only ranked around 240 in Arena, lvl 75, running multiple Gear 8-9, 6-7 star characters in GW. By node 5-6, I am facing teams that are taking out my strongest characters, which means I am completely done by node 7-8.

I don't understand the apparent variation in what people are experiencing, unless there is perhaps something wrong with the way the game determines the opponents you will face.

Last couple days I get a lot better teams, making it harder. But not impossible.
