The biggest issue with GW and something I'm sure many of you will agree with is fighting the same enemies repeatedly.Every single team has a Sid. Almost always. Lum and Jedi Con, you can expect to say a Phasma and a Dooku pretty often as well.Often, you are forced to rehash the same strategies over and over. It becomes repetitive and boring. As well as frustrating that you face the strongest characters in the game repeatedly.Why not make it so that a character only appears once?12 nodes x 5 enemies is 60 characters every day.Not only will this make GW more enjoyable and less of a chore; it'll also allow players to see the character base in action at high levels. Different team combinations and keep the brain stimulated with a different challenge each node.I have to force myself to do GW every day at 11 P.M. Often, I have two runs to do because of an unused reset button. And I usually can't bring myself to do the other.What do you think?

The matchmaking has not been fixed and now you want GW completely revamped?

I guess when it was first made the game devs expected a well balanced meta. But with the narrow selection of strong teams this is now a flaw that deters veteran players from enjoying the game as much as when they started. In my opinion.

Card games, video games, even many board games will have particular combinations and strategies be superior to others. This is often changed by directly changing the items in question or introducing new ones. It's impossible to create a completely balanced system with so many pieces.

GW is still broke no denying that.

Adding to this even though I as a player should be able to use only 5 charaters the AI should have to use 60 different ones.Oh BTW the 60 will just keep repeating everyday anyway there will always be a repeat of some sort.

Yes!
We see enough of other players in Arena.

GW is still broke no denying that.

So the desire is to use your same 5 Characters to battle 60+ different ones in GW?

It would be a random selection from all the characters available in the game.

So it wouldn't be repetitive at all.

Why do people get mad when others complain that something is unjustifiably hard? There is such a thing as too much you know? Too much repetition. Too hard to lower level players. Unfair to newer players who can't farm GW as much as we did when it came out.

The main problem is A) A lack of feedback from the Devs B) A lack of actual fixes being done. Too many bugs that aren't being squashed and no feedback telling us that they will; would make any playerbase complain.

If I sounded mad sorry. I am not this is a game and is the least of my worries. I like to play devil's advocate to get more information out of people. Like I said there is no denying GW is still broke. Mine should not be as easy as it is.

My point is the major complaint by many who can't complete it is that they don't have the resources to get more than their main 5, the ones that can complete or get close complain about boring repeatative battles. I am simply combining the 2 main complaints of GW.

Which comes back to my first comment. A compete revamp.

Anyone use to play World of Warriors? The old tower mode in that was essentially a GW. 5 levels, increasingly hard and facing teams of randomly selected toons.

Way more fun than GW because you got to fight every toon in the game. Make it so at least 2-3 toons have some kind of synergy and voila, hundreds of brand new, random teams to fight.

For the record, I complete GW every day. I have a plenty deep bench but hey, it gets dull mashing the same squads into the dirt again and again. Variety is the spice of life.

That is when you make variety by using a different squad to smash the AI.

Ok, fair point. I have 14 max/near max toons with which I mix and match in GW.

For me to make different squads, as you suggest, involves a huge amount of time and effort to farm, gear and level new toons. Which toons will I normally choose? The ones I know are pretty powerful. How do I know they're powerful? Because I fight them every day in arena and GW.

Now, making GW random opposing teams is a lot more entertaining for the player at way less time investment BUT it also then exposes players to new possibilities they haven't thought about. An Ewok team for example, how many players would suddenly realise it's viable and then put that investment into getting one for themselves? It's a win-win. Further exposure to the forgotten 60% of toons only means people will spend more time and money in then trying to acquire them. More diversity = more fun. People having more fun generally means more $$$.
