GW oddity -- DEV RESPONSE

This morning while running through my GW I ran across something strange, just wanted to see if anyone else found the same. I know that the battle sequence will change depending on what attack or abilities you use, who you target, and even the positions of member in your squad. I use this to gain the most favorable results in each battle. Here's what happened:

On n12, I ran into a squad of Rex lead, gk, nihilus, r2, and thrawn. I had been running resistance from n4 (tm loaded 3 additional teams). I had made a mistake on n11 and forgot to count my cooldowns so my specials were stuck on cd 1.

Resistance trooper opened with basic, dodged. Pilot went second with basic, crit. Poe went third, crit and applied offense down. Thrawn went, fractured whoever was in position 4 on my squad. I retreated 40 times, each time changing my target and shuffling my toons, exactly the same result.
Please understand this isn't a complaint. I still won, though it took 2 teams. Just found it odd in the many months of using these tactics to win, they failed me completely.
  • Stun him, shock him, buff immunity him, heal debuff him, cleanse him, stack exposes on him, assists like crazy on him... Lots of solutions to Oppress in GW.


    Boba is king!

  • I don't know how much time they want everybody to spend on this game but the reality of it is already a Time suck and I don't mind playing but the reality for me it's coming down to the point where it's just too much time, it's not worth the investment and this is why their overall number of people joining the game is going down. Also they made it extremely difficult for somebody coming in now to build their characters up cuz they made it so expensive in the matter of points to increase of character from 1 to 85.
  • The galactic war issue for me is that consistently I am fight gear 12 meta squads and its different every time. The group I mainly see is rebel heavy at the final node with baze chirrut commander luke r2 and nihilus or rex as alts all gear 12 and seven stars. None of my clan mates run into these squads and i have not completed a gw in two months because of this.
  • I can usually complete GW without casualties (thanks to analyzing the set-in-stone process of attacks through trial-and-error-retreats) running my Sith team:

    Nihilus lead
    Vader
    Dooku
    Emp Palp
    Maul

    Too lazy to record my mods/gear. Don't have any zetas yet, I realize my difficulty rating won't be as high as others. Whenever I hit a wall in the RNG, sometimes I throw in a sacrificial squad of low level guys to burn enemy Cooldown sand reset RNG for new encounter. Otherwise, I experiment on best opening to kill highest threat levels, like Yoda/Rex/GK so I can make sure my debuffs go through, then see if I can do the rest without any deaths.

    If there's absolutely no avoiding it, I might grit my teeth through not getting my original strategy and use my other teams to burn through one guy at a time, then go back in with my varsity team and experiment all over again. I've never experienced different set-RNG results by repositioning toons. Only:

    - Change of leadership
    - Swapping a character in or out
    - Changing mods
    - Upgrading stats/abilities/gear in any way

    My experience has shown as soon as I enter an encounter, every possibility is already calculated. It's only a matter of exploring those outcomes and finding the golden formula for the order of actions that need to go down. Butterfly effect, yo.

    EDIT: as per savage, I've found dooku under nihilus lead and he will go on FOREVER if they are the last two remaining. Too many multi attacks, can't sustain shock long enough, he heals back up too quickly, and dooku's a beast at countering/self-healing.
  • Man, Boba Fett is a very good, generalist, counter to many situations. I don't use him any more, I got plenty of teams to run circles around GW... but if you are short on teams, invest is Boba, he'll see you through a lot of difficulties until your roster fills out.

    My recommendation to CG - starting soon - have a new player only event where people can get a 4* Boba - this way you can cut the complaints on the forum by half. During the event, showcase how he counter various threats.

  • I find the GW a waste never complete it due to the super human teams at the end and I have teams g12 and zetad doesn't matter they get rolled through just as fast. The rewards are free credits no gear which is the biggest thing needed oh and the green rewards for the store that hasn't been updated in months. I find myself playing less and less because no matter what u do you will never be good enough unless u spend spend spend.
  • Same here the last node is extremely tough... And ALL CHARACTERS in the team are all zetad and well modded... And gear 12 too... I'm only at level 80 and have started dreaming about zetad only...I can't beat the last team no matter even if I put all my characters in it
