Galactic Wars is getting ridiculous..

It has nothing to do with level.

Go into a battle and pick your five highest "power" toons.

If that number is under 35k, you should beat GW in 20 minutes.

When that number is 37k+ you start seeing a half dozen #1-arena-capable teams.

That could be why.. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it out and see if it works!

I would like to see video of this auto/semi auto thru 4-5 arena evasion meta teams of Ben, Rey, QGJ, RG, GS/Daka/Leia.

I'm level 80, rank 1 often in my server and they've made it significantly difficult to the point where it takes up too much time to go against 5 nodes worth of gear 9 and 10 toons with dodge leaders (we know GW dodge is the worst rigged mechanic in the game) but I'm still able to beat it but the fact that it took so much more time and was significantly harder than the past 100 GW's I've done so far, I can't wait for the masses to reach 80 and go against all these insane top 10 arena-worthy squads :) the forums will be flooded on GW being the worst thing in this game for taking up too much time and when you hit 80, it will be impossible for 90% of the players out there who aren't f2p like me who have enough maxed toons to finish. Of course Barriss leader is key because with that I've been able to beat all my GW's with 1 squad with the variation of switching out 1-2 toons depending on the comp but after 5 nodes of RG gear 9-10 Rey gear 9-10 and also han gear 9-10 with dooku leader dodge gear 9, I can only fathom how frustrating it'll be for everyone else :p

Is it just me, or GW has become:

1. Too much time and effort to complete a full run
2. The last couple of battles are ridiculously difficult
3. Rewards are not worth the time and effort

It's just become a total drag to do it daily and no longer fun at all. What's everyone elses experience?

Actually its been easier since I hit 76 or so.. It was harder in early 70's, but still doable. I actually did GW with 7 characters yesterday and only had to replace 2 of them for the last battle. It varies from day to day, mostly I have to use 2 full teams but not more than that.

It takes like 30 maybe 40 minutes, it is a chore but not tedious, I find it fun because each squad is different, same composition in many cases but different leaders and RNG makes it interesting.

Rewards not worth the effort? LOL seriously they give you like 600K credits or something, I get like a bunch of credits like 1300 for free shards. I convert those shards in the shard shop to get Grievous upgraded.

The rewards for GW are better than anything else, what do you want a free 4* character drop at the end?

This all leads up to EA greed on their crusade to make credits even more scarce and more difficult to obtain for 99% of the 'community' (community is the sugar-coated word that EA tries to brainwash people when in reality they laugh and neglect the 'community') in hopes people will waste energy on their crap mining event that nobody wants to touch and one of their only ways of slowing down the growth of the player-base since they lack any other way to limit the gear/level cap aka depth in this game.

I'm seeing a trend as I read thru this thread... People who use Rey don't think GW is very difficult.

The whole idea of using our power to determine our GW difficulty is flawed to begin with. I have a maxed (for my level, 72) Night sister Initiate. And I have a maxed Ahsoka. NSI is listed as having nearly a thousand more power. Yet in battle, Ahsoka always hits for more. Those power ratings are just ridiculous and inaccurate. And in the case of someone like Rey, it's obviously not taking into account that she has skills that allows her to hit 3 times in one attack. Thus we both have a character with similar "power" but yours is WAAY better than mine. Yet we face the same difficulty GW. That's crazy.

Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily think GW is too hard. It can be on certain days. More than anything, I find the lack of opponent diversity annoying. And the retreat button even more annoying.

Nah, it's pretty easy. 20 minutes, 30 at the most to complete.

Patience you must have, else fall to the dark side of mobile gaming you will.

Dude.. It's the opposite. You are not high level enough, that's why it's easy for you. I'm level 80 with enough toons at Gear X and above with skills maxed out with omegas. When you are there, the game algorithm puts up equally strong squads in the last few GW fights against you.

@jasperC
I am 79, and have no issues. We'll see about lvl 80. I had no issues at lvl 70, nor 60, when those were the cap and everyone complained then about GW being hard.

We'll have to see in one more level.

We didn't say it was impossible.. all they are saying is the time to commit to FINISH it and the last 2 or 3 nodes ARE hard.. but its designed that way.

I don't think you set a stop watch no way you can do this in 20 minutes.. 12 nodes it takes AT LEAST 2 minutes EACH node even on Auto.. maybe first 2 nodes is under a minute, that means 22 minutes.. but last 2 nodes it will take you 3 maybe even 4 minutes.. on Auto, if you micro manage like me it takes 5 minutes and that's not including resets.

If you say you are doing this in under 20 minutes, you are full of it. PERIOD

You want to call my bluff on this take a video show me (entire GW end to end not snipets) and post it on youtube. PROVE it.

When you get a good Arena team you are basically facing 8-10 teams Arena teams that are all built to instagib a player.

Wrong. 15 minutes.

Exactly. If you use the meta team, GW is easy for you. You should try being a Night Sister and Kylo Ren player. You'll see the exact opposite. No one could take my phone and play my GW with auto turned on. Just isn't possible. It's easy for you because of who you use/collected.

@Whiteroom
I find that rather odd, as well. I am not sure if the game pulls Arena teams, or GW teams, or generates AI teams.

You'd figure if it pulled GW teams you'd see a lot less insta-gib teams because those are used in Arena. A team like that usually won't hold up over a long period of GW. Of course, they are probably just swapping to a team like that on the last GW node. *shrugs*

Wish we knew more about how it worked.

Seems to be Arena teams. Literally nearly all I face now is Dooku/Ben, Rey, Leia/GS, QGJ, RG for 8 out of 12 nodes. Yes my team can beat that but after a couple I have no protection left and with RNG they can easily take a character out that has no protection.
