So its been posted exactly what retreating does in gw but since everyone is so focused on crying instead of reading what is different i figured id make a new post. Its very simple, retreating restart the match exactly as it was when the match started. If all of your characters have full health at the beginning on the match and your having a bad match, you retreat and your back to full health.If you start a match with one character at 50% health and your having a bad match and retreat you start with that character at 50%. Its not hard to understand. To everyone crying about the debuffs not being removed get over it, it was an unfair exploit anyway. Whats the point of there being a debuff if all you have to do is retreat when it gets used. If a match isnt going your way then just retreat and try it again using a different method, if you still cant win then build a stronger team, your no more entitled to a guarantee of finishing gw than you are getting first place on arean. Waaa waaa waa. I want it now now now. Get over yourselves.

thats not really the point, the point is that GW is not completable unless you have deep pockets meaning your falling even further behind everyone else because they can get loads of shards for lumi,phasma etc etc and you can't. If you can't complain about that then i dont know what you can complain about

What if I remove a character with debuff , would that debuff still be there if I place him on a different battle ?

But once I got hit badly and it saved my low HP and didn't reset it from the start

I just started a match and sid hit my savage putting a heal debuff along with the physical damage done. I retreated and savage has no debuff and no damage. My luminara started with slight damage and still has slight damage after the retreat. Retreat does not heal you it just resets the match on how it started, if it doesnt then my account is unique that it does.

The new level cap was already an advantage for the p2w, with the gw setup like this the gap will be even bigger. When you go against a poe, fotp, qgj, leia and old ben you're likely to lose some heroes. It will be easier for the p2p player to replace the fallen heroes.

Here's my thinking... Since the AI changed in December, I RARELY got teams that blew all 5 best cool downs in opening round. If I did 2 or 3 before retreating to get certain ones out of the way, the rest were now practically ready to use again anyway. Since I STOPPED retreating, I've now won 5 in a row. Only 2 of those have I used force close...which I posted about elsewhere *for me* was a colossal waste of time. If you have 7 to 10 immaculate characters, this change will hardly effect you. And fyi I'm f2p. The only trick is patience in building a solid working set of high powered characters in *my* experience with this.

You attack and fail, then you retreat and try again. If you do the exact same things, you'll get the exact same results again. But if you manage to change a few things here and there you can find a way forward to a decent result!

I love how GC has now turned Galactic War into the Star Wars version of Groundhog day!
