GW - Insanely hard now
So please allow me my rant
Forum Discussion
It has nothing to do with not being able to complete it. It can be completed. It's the amount of time sink involved. Most people are going to have a really really strong team or few teams after playing the game for a while and being somewhat "end game". In order to comfortably complete GW at whatever GW classification I am in I have to pump TM, not get hit and keep every CD available through node 6. Then I have to minimize taking hits and keep all CD's available through 7-12. That takes a lot of time. Then it takes forever resetting nodes 7-12 or 7-11 depending on what days I have a broken node 12... which causes more time sink because I have to assume a non-broken node 12.
When you get things like Chaze, Zaul, GK, Zihilus, Zylo, Zavage, Rex leads, you name the meta or meta-competitive team in virtually any node past node 2 it makes it extremely difficult. I get Wiggs teams on node 1 lol.
There are only a handful of toons that can take out some of these arena-competitive squads. If those toons aren't g10 at the least w/good mods they may as well not exist. This means most people's good squads are prot stripped...maybe even have to sacrifice a top toon.. by the last nodes. You simply have to use your good toons earlier than the last nodes now and that maxed Zaul/Assassin/Zavage/Zihilus squad on node 6 is going to make sure you are prot stripped.
I understand that the answer is to keep upgrading but it's simply not that easy for F2P/minnows. The stun cuff/gun raid drop % is a joke considering how many toons (and consequential toons) need them. When you get to a point you've got an arena team in the 20-50 range and you are somewhat end game, GW is just a time sink nightmare. Not what I would call fun anymore.
