GWs & G12 - Difficulty increased for no reasons.

I agree about GWs being a lot harder and it isn't fun. I have 96 seven star toons and 31 of them are in G11.

Everyday I either run into 2-4 teams of CLS/Thrawn/Kenobi/R2/Nihilus at nodes 6/9/10/11.

It's not that I mind the challenge or facing those teams...but to face those teams 3-4 times everyday is insanely crazy. Only a handful of toons can't compete with the CLS meta..more than half of the swgoh roster isn't good enough to handle these kind of teams multiple times.

I haven't lost a GW in over a year and a half, but the way this is going..I could be unable to finish anyway now.

I wish GWs was challenging but fair. It should gradually get harder with node 12 being the hardest.
The way it is now is easy nodes 1-5, hard node 6(meta teams), easy nodes 7 and 8, hard again in node 9 and sometimes 10 with meta teams, even harder with node 11 being meta again.

I think there are two issues, difficulty but also how much time you need to complete it. You have quite a large roster but for many players GW isn't more about winning a fight than winning a fight without loosing precious toons or even entire teams - That's where this mode is way too time consuming since difficulty is so high (if one can even beat it) you'll spend hours in "cheating" with TM, RNG and placement, which is not fun and let be honest, quite ridiculous.

All players need that extra cash and crystals, if not one'd better stop playing the game since we all need both. But my main concern here isn't much the unbalanced difficulty but why are we struggling that much since last updates as opposed to previously. Luke meta is really agressive and quite challenging but i don't understand why i had to fight 5 G11 toons one day, and 5 G12 toons the day after. There's a world of difference between both gears and my roster is as bad as the day before !

How the game is calculating what you should face in GWs isn't working well, it never really did but things are even worse now.

Sorry for the delay, was out for dinner.
Your characters with the highest power rating:
R2 9512
QGJ 9347
CLS 10003
Ezra 9174
JKA 8790
Total of 46,826

GW final node scales to about 15% higher so you can get a team up to 53,850.
G12 CLS is about 11000
G12 R2 is about 11000
G11 GK is about 11300
G11 GAT is about 11000
G12 Raid Zolo is about 9700
G11 DN is about 10500

The current most popular meta team of CLS, R2, GK, GAT, Zolo is approximately 54,000(Including 3 G12). So you're almost guaranteed to be seeing this as your final match up. Maybe mix and match some G12 for G11 and DN instead of Zolo.

Btw, that's inclusive of Zeta abilities although I'm pretty sure Zeta abilities do not contribute much if any towards the old power rating. If they eventually do decide to switch to scale according to Galactic Power some day then maybe you'll get some easier match ups.

I agree with the calculation but what i disagree with is the huge difference between GWs prior to G12 update and post G12. One of the toons you mentioned (Anakin) isn't even G11 and i really think something's wrong since lots of players have noticed a massive difficulty increase - Calculation isn't more an issue than pure balance.

My only point is that calculation should consider G12 massive increase and not break most players GWs. As i said i was facing tough but doable teams previously, they were G11 (for obvious reasons). Since none of my toons have seen some increase (at least not high enough to be noticed) in gear, i don't see why i should face only G12 toons now. Only because new gear has been implemented and GWs calculation methods left in the dust for decades. :pensive:

We only need balance, not some Whales showcase in every single GW after each gear update.

You really need better mods. That's probably why you're struggling so much.

It would be nice if a Dev commented about a solution to this problem.

Not much relevant since that's only about RNG. And i farmed a LOT of them, but as a new player i also need to farm some useful toons in cantina. That's usually what happen when bad design makes you spend the same currency/energy for different things i.e. Ships with zetas, TBs with toons/ships/gears etc.

But you're right about one thing, why GWs doesn't care much about mods quality either ? If i'm struggling to find good enough mods why should i face full golden teams @ 280 speed ?
Mods should give points based upon the amount of stats they give, not their level only.

This game is lacking of consistency and some fix would be greatly appreciated especially in there.
