Galactic War leaving a bad taste in the mouth

Feedback

I know Aaron has commented that they are collecting data and would work on its mechanics asap (Thank you for your efforts)

But the experience till now has been making me quite frustrated.

Initially, you would be able to clear the entire table, with the occasional 2-3 tougher fights (When opponents are all random)

Now, I am immediately pitted against someone 5 levels above me, or similar in the first 3 fights. With no skills or health replenishment or character revives, It's neigh impossible to defeat someone with the same power level as you, or more, three times in a row. Resulting in getting stranded immediately after 1-3 fights, 3 days in now.

I wish I could say "Just remove Galactic War until you get it right", but that isn't going to work since we are the soft launch test subjects and we need to produce the data for you to have an idea on what to improve on...

So the result: I can't really make a complaint, since it's sort of 'closed beta' and we are suppose to help you smooth it out. But yet, it is endlessly frustrating to be crushed 1-3 fights into Galactic Wars when there are 12 fights in total. (All the green jades, cash, shards, ability mats I could've gotten, my heart aches...)

Suggestion

Therefore, seeing that you still have another few features yet released (fighter battles etc.), please at least come up with some arrangement that wouldn't leave most of us feeling empty next time. Unlike galactic war release, where we can see the amazing rewards, taste it once, but denied the full enjoyment.

(It's like you just gave the kid a lollipop and took it away after one lick! *Kid stomps and cries and behaves immaturely). I know it can't always be done, but that's how we actually feel right now.

Completely agree.
The way Galactic Battles SHOULD be done is to have the difficulty ramp up from those 15-20 levels lower than your own until you hit those near, equal or stronger than yourself, depending on how close you are to maximum player level. Rewards should also ramp up progressively with difficulty, so no one walks away unjustifiably empty handed, yet still reward the strong.

I think the Galactic war is supposed to be a long term endeavor, IE you really need several teams of high level characters to complete. You're not supposed to be able to complete with 1 or even 2 decent teams.
However, in this respect it has not been implemented well and was rushed out purely to bulk up content IMO.

That would have certainly made sense. IF we do not have the following problems:
Levels: To make any character out of my 'main team' viable, they need to be at least around the same level. However... it costs (1,011,750 credits) to get them from level 1 to level 58
Gear: I have exactly 24 characters to choose from (it's a huge variety), and balancing changes / bugs made everywhere, I can't decide who to invest on. (it cost 1mil and lots of gear farming)
Ability levels: They make a huge difference, mats are very limited currently, and once again, with all the balancing and bugged skills, can't decide who to invest on!
To sum it up, since Galactic War opponents are chosen based on your PVP team, which is inevitably your 'best team', you are fighting opponents equally strong if not stronger than them, you actually need characters with all 3 requirements fulfilled to put up a decent fight... And progression only stops at 60, even then, level 1 to 60 probably cost 1.5m credits? All level 6 skills requires 2-3 weeks worth of ability mats? Gear VII at least requires god knows how much energy to farm it and weeks of challenge runs? All these... and you don't know if that character you are investing on might be reduced to shambles by bugs or balancing attempts in patches...
In fact, the only character I have any faith in, that won't be 'reduced to shambles' are Darth Sidious and Jedi Consular. (For reasons, one does not simply make the emperor weak, and the nameless jedi consular is stronger than 'named' jedi like mace windu)

The Galactic War has major changes but I don't get it how it chooses your opponents. I got enemies ranging from level 30 - 58 earlier but not in a progressive manner. It seems to fluctuate randomly. How about you guys?

I used to be able to get a mixture of levels like you've said... But now it's just been teams that are higher level and I don't make it passed the 2nd or 3rd battle.

Just deal with it. Sometimes it works in your favor, sometimes it's doesn't.

I cannot stand facing 5,(7 star - level 70) Phasma-led squads in a row. If you aren't leveled up yet, that is what you have to look forward to. It's impossible! Not to mention, the fact that the A.I. Phasma squads double-attack more like 80 percent of the time. Whereas my (7 star -level 70) Phasma gets the 18 percent...and don't even get me started on that Geonosian Soldier. One Shot, dead. One Shot, dead. If there is both of them in a squad, by the time I get my FIRST TURN... I have 2 or maybe 3 guys left. A very bad taste indeed...
