I'm just shy of 70 and Galactic War has become frustratingly hard as of the recent patch. I used to clear 12/12 95% of the time before, now I'm lucky to do 9/12. Here's the problem: Before the patch, the only threatening nodes were 6, 9 and then maybe 11 and 12. You had weak nodes inbetween so you were able to "save" some cooldowns, heal up, that kind of stuff. After the patch though? It's completely random and you get hard nodes right from the beginning. I've had a full 80++ team on node 1. And it just continues like that. Constant barrage of level ~80 or even slightly above teams on the majority of nodes. There is no room to breathe anymore, it just wears out my teams and by the time I reach node 9 I'm already scraping by. And that's despite multiple retreats and trying to get through nodes with minimal losses and damage received. I don't know what exactly you did, but whatever it is, you made GW extremely brutal for people who are not at the level cap. If that wasn't your intention I'd like to see you change that back.

Pay no mind to the others, they aren't in the same situation as you are. They complained when GW wasn't favourable for them just like you are complaining now. Problem with GW is that the devs aren't capable of fixing it for all lvl players, they never were able and they never will be able by the looks of it. So when they say "it's perfect now", they just mean it's perfect for them, not that GW in it's entirety is perfect. It's possible you'd think GW is perfect aswell if you were in their shoes.

Get used to it. We have been there before. No need to change anything. GW is perfect atm.

GW is too hard for lower levels now (no joke)

Hmmm, GW can sometimes be hard, especially when you climb very fast & high in your Arena-Rank, also there is a huge amount of RNG involved when the teams for GW are selected, so i would not point at Evil-Devs who wanna screw the lil'ones, but moreso of bad luck on your side.

I've got a 1.8gm Main-Account and a 700k Alt. It's "easier" for my Main-Account because i have more Tools at my disposal, if i had only the two "real teams" of my Alt, i maybe would come in trouble sometimes.

TL;DR:
My guess: You've got bad luck & u'r outperforming in the Arena

You totally missed what we're talking about. There used to be easy nodes in between the tough ones, now we are getting stuck on 7 or 8, even 1 is noticeably harder. It has nothing to do with any changes to my roster or playing style. It happened the same day the changes were made to make it easier on the people who did over pump their arena teams.

1. You just can't please everyone
2. By design, it is not supposed to be completeable every day for lower levels
3. Once you have a deep roster, you will complete it every day
4. Please, for the love of all that is good and holy, stop asking the devs to change this
5. At some point, every one of us struggled with GW, and then, at some other point, we stopped; you will eventually be able to do it every day

@freshprince19888: Even before the patch it often happend that one of the easy nodes where harder than usual. It depended if the RNG was clever enough to find a somewhat low-profile counter team, but the synergy was so good, that the easy fight could become a real brawl.

How about some hard facts? What is your GM, Arean Rank, general GM, level - what team was on the other side (which toons, lvl, mods, ... screeny perhaps?).

I don't know you, maybe you're a Vet and have plenty of expierence and this is your 3rd Alt or maybe this is your first & main-account and you kinda had no clue, that every gm-node can be hard as heck sometimes.

Annyhooo .. best of luck! :)

My 3rd alt. Lvl 59, top of arena. Im a hard vet. Before the update have been cleaning all nodes without a prblem. After the update i rarely manage to get to node 9or 10. Node 6 i usually face a team 20 levels higher.
There is little you can do with lvl 59 toons vs lvls 77 or 79. And a couple gear levels higher.
Definitely broken

You will get there. Personally I went several months without winning, made it to 9-11 and then faced the titans of the game, gear 12 7* CLS, thrawn, Gen Ken, ect. I know the frustration. Since they fixed it I have won consistently. I recommend that sith team with Nihilus lead. I also recommend Wedge lead, biggs, R2, CLS and Jyn. IF you have them, of course.

Will get there? I was already there, and they took it away by accident and won't admit it.

so you will get there again. before my several months of not winning, I had 31 wins under my belt. Now I'm at 48. Unless you feel the need to pony up some serious cash, then you'll probably have to wait your turn now like the rest of us did.

cash has never been the sollution for GW. It scales, so spending cash doesn't guarantee you'll be able to finish since your opponents get stronger aswell.
