Hi All,Ive seen a lot of claims that someone in reddit says the matchmaking is based on the highest arena ranking.. Is this true?Im not sure if theres any explaination as of today on how the matchmaking is set.. Sometime in not 4/5 I faced lvl 70 team with decent characaters, and then the nodes after that a lvl 59 team comes in.. Im lvl 65 btw, with arena ranking usually around 100.. Some times it a continuous lvl 70 in the middle, and i am not able to go through it.. sometimes it a bit too easy..Is it really that random?

I am hoping to see some concrete answer to this from the devs.

I consistently get far harder matches than friends that are higher level that I am. I am higher pvp rate than all of them so it would make sense to me if this was the case. Whatever it is, it has completely ruined GW for me. I face teams with 3, 4 or 5 fights left that are so strong I can't even wear them down They 1-2 shot my characters.

How many galactic tokens do you get per day on average?

First of all, I understand if the GW is a bit harder compared to pre-'update', but it shouldn’t be impossible.. Sometimes it gets impossible.. If the final 2-3 nodes is 3-5 level higher than you then yeah, to me its acceptable and a good challenge.. But even in the middle they are 5 levels higher than you, and its continuous then its a bit overwhelming..Whatever it is, at least an explaination would be great.. not necessarily calling for a change.. could you enlighten us, @EA_Jesse :)

The biggest problem is it has also severely crippled my credit situation. I wouldn't care that much if I never got more than 400 tokens if they added a reasonable credit source other than crystals. I was finishing 9 out of 10 perchange and the ones I failed were bad luck or I got busy

Perfect example of what happens to me is my current GW. Battle 6, i cannot find any way to get past it that wouldnt completly cripple my ability to continue. Their team is all 4 levels above mine and higher total stars.

GW now feels like those awful jobs that are hard to get outa bed for. Way too much work for so little in return (or almost nothing if you get the WALL).

I think adding a HARD GW mode and bumping the Shard drops x2 or something...then make the regular GW like it was b4.

Or letting us use idk 25 sim tickets (outa the 1,400 i have) to pass one node and refresh cooldowns...something

Whats the point of a game (especially with people paying), thats more work than reward?

In reality I really wouldn't have a problem with the current GW staying as is if they increased the credits from normal missions or provided another way to farm them. Consider the fact that Squad cantina very likely ends up being much less work per shard (specific availability aside) then GW so I don't think slowing down the amount that of shards available from GW is really a valid argument given the fact that most people won't buy more than 5 of one per day now that they changed the reset cost to gems.

Hello everyone,
I understand that everyone has a complaint about GW and it's insane difficulty but we are going the wrong way about seeking a resolution. I would like to remind people what a GW victory and GW give people.
1. It's the single biggest pay-out in credits from anywhere else in the game.
2. Tokens come in at 1200 in a full clear compared to its others that's much more.
3. MK I-II mats can be found very rare otherwise.

So how do, we the people, offer a solution/fix for the issue (if any) at hand to make galactic war more achievable by more players? I certainly would love to see less difficult opponents but maybe 3 more nodes for counter balance?

Excellent point.. Yoda-man! That’s true, it gets frustratingly hard sometime, but the payout is actually incredible compared to other modes..

Im actually wanting to know how the matchmaking is done first, then only we can properly think on the more suitable solution.. Should it be based on the power rating of your top 5 chars? or top 7? Based on arena ranking ? or chars level ?

And from that power, maybe set the first 4 nodes to be 1000-2000 lower, 5-8 nodes equal power, the final 4 to be higher power, 1000-3000 perhaps ?
