Galactic War requirements for simming

It’s obvious that there are a lot of divided opinions on this subject, and I can see that both sides have valid points both for and against reducing the required number of completions before simming.

What about this as a compromise: create checkpoints on the GW table. Say, every 3rd node is a checkpoint. Once you have reached a checkpoint “X” number of times you can sim up to that checkpoint. That would reduce some of the tedium, but still require working on improving teams for the higher nodes, and even allow for focusing on more difficult battles. This is a possible scenario = node 3 checkpoint - 25 completions; node 6 checkpoint - 50 completions; node 9 checkpoint - 75 completions; node 12 checkpoint - 150 completions.

I think that's a pretty solid idea actually.

Absolutely agree with madhader. That idea is a perfect way to reduce time consumption and still rewarding the roster depth and effort. I would love to see that asap.

Lol no

I’m not asking them to remove it, just to reduce it. Why “lol, no”? Absolutely no good reason not to.

Actually no good reason to lower it, they chose 150 as the achievement level to sim , simming Gw is to reward players for developing their rosters to the point of being able to consistently handle Gw . Lowering it to fifty is funny, because players that aren’t even mid 70s can hit that target,

Actually there is a great reason to lower to 0. It is only half of the requirement. The other half is being lvl 85. No one at lvl 70 is meeting that requirement, if my math is still solid.

Your math might be, but a level 70 can have 50 completions ,

How many FTP players that are level 70 do you know that have hit 50 GW completions? It am level 81, and I just hit 50 yesterday. Granted, I was working against myself for some time because I kept leveling up my top team, which directly affects your GW Difficulty, but still. I am seriously asking, how many?

For the VAST majority of players who are FTP, it takes a LONG time to get to 150. We have a few in our guild who have recently hit level 85 with 4 to 6 decent to good complete teams that run into Zeta-maxed G12 super teams in GW, and they still get stonewalled in 12 node sometimes.

Read up and down the GW list: long time players say it's a waste of time because it's too easy, and lower level players find it VERY difficult. Some days I wonder why I can't SIM because it's easy, and others I wonder if they haven't accidentally assigned me someone else's GW opponents because it is literally unbeatable.

Started late January, level 83, 112/150. Will I be at 150 when I hit 85? Probably not. Will I be close? Yep. I've only failed to clear GW a handful of times since it opened.
If you're in your 80s with only <50 clears, then you've not gotten a handle on that game mode yet.

I'm not sure why the big press to sim - you can already sim so much of this game...it's like people don't even want to play it. Log in, sim sim sim sim log out.

We had to do it, you can too.

Honestly, it should just be sim-able @ lvl 85. The other requirement is pointless & just becomes an EXTREMELY mundane task at that point.

Yes, I can SIM it on both accounts & this does not effect me directly. But, it was a huge irritation after 85 on my second.

Nothing happened. We had plenty of sim tickets and now we have plenty plus more. Big deal.

Which made them become obsolete in a "resource management" game, which I believe you called it in the last thread about getting SIM tickets removed.

It was & is a HUGE deal for lower lvl accounts, which are critical to keeping the game alive.

I was a lower level account at one time and I only occasionally had to manage that resource. You grow out of that need. Still not a big deal. No matter how many CAPITAL LETTERS you use.

I try not to be selfish about it, whether these players can sim it or not, it doesn't affect me personally in any way shape or form so why would I care? Just give them what they want

How is it selfish to expect everyone to progress in the game? GW is a roster test. Letting them just sim it removes that challenge from the game.
