- No one knows...just wild guesses.
- From MY experience, it is a combination of two things: arena roster power(or top 5 toons) and frequency of beating GW. I've noticed if I save my resets and play two GWs in a day vs one every day, it is somewhat less difficult. I've also noticed if I fail to beat it 3 or 4 times in a row, I get an easier run the next time around. Could just be RNG though.
When I do beef up my Anakin or Fives or any other of my top toons, I start to see harder teams. When I have a good win streak going (ex: 4 straight completions), it gets harder and harder, especially on nodes 3,6,9,11,12. The most noticeable jumps in difficulty come on nodes 6 and 9 though.
The consensus is that top 5 strongest toons' power affects what you see in GW, but I believe there are other factors. - All of what you are posting are theories not facts.
Anyways what no one has made a point on is...are the enemy teams from real players or some computer generated teams. - They are from real players. I have recognized a few names.
- One fact is the player names are real but the teams are computer generated. Someone in my guild popped up in my GW with a 7* shoretrooper. He did not have shoretrooper in his roster.
- @EventineElessedil has a (what i think is a pretty accurate) graph about it. i'm sure you could find it on this forum or he will post it himself since i tagged him.
- Guys the following has been confirmed and discussed on this forum a while ago: It is based according to your top 5 characters OVERALL power level--not arena team power. This cannot be manipulated, meaning once you have your top 5 modded strong and their power is at X level, by removing the mods it will not make gw easier.
After modding my characters for the AAT raid my top 5 changed a lot character wise and power wise and I'm now paying for it in GW. Don't believe me? Try it and you'll regret it lol. Pro tip: If you're having problems in GW DO NOT increase power of your top 5 characters overall... - Your opponents are fictitious squads based on your top 5 overall.
Pro Tip: If your top 5 is your arena squad, go ball to the wall gearing them up. Chances are the rewards in PvP are better then what you'd miss out on, in the one or two nodes of GW you can't finish. "leef;741644" wrote:

I am generally staying out of these debates anymore. Empirical evidence apparently means nothing to the masses. I freely admit there may be (and probably are) more factors at play than just Top5 power, but if any ambitious players have the patience to actually scientifically track the power levels over an extended period, I will guarantee they get a curve that looks a helluva lot like this:http://i.imgur.com/KF8YHRJ.pngSpoilerWhat this chart says is that I tracked the power of each node for 32 different GW tables. As a percentage of Top5 power, each node will be powered according to the red circles, or close to it. The blue dots show the power levels for the table I cleared on 09/09. They should be inside the red circles, and they are in fact very close. More details:- Dark blue numbers under red circles show power levels recorded for that node. All are less than 32 because sometimes I neglected to record the value. N12 only has 10 levels recorded mostly because easy nodes were ignored.
- Red numbers show node power expected, the average of the recorded values
- Yellow numbers show standard deviation (the uncertainty -- expect your node to be within the range specified by the red number +/- the yellow number)
- Light blue numbers are the node power recorded on that day. 09/09 in this case.
Sure, you can argue that it's based on Arena power. You can argue anything, but without data, it's anecdotal. I also tracked Arena power. Here's what I find for the 09/09 run: http://i.imgur.com/wF5101T.png
The little blue circles don't fit the curve as well. The standard deviations are larger. This means that Top5 is a better indicator of GW scaling than Arena power.
You won't look, but the details can all be found within: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/66883/galactic-war-power-by-node-where-are-we-now
In a nutshell, for several weeks I kept my Arena power constant. I kept my Top5 constant. I farmed lower power heroes and just expanded my roster. GW node power was constant. Then I upgraded one of my highest power heroes who was not on my Arena team (Savage Opress) and GW node power changed immediately. No change to Arena. Pretty obvious dependence.
Funny thing ... I still don't have good droids. But I do have 7* HK and 6* 88 now.- Dark blue numbers under red circles show power levels recorded for that node. All are less than 32 because sometimes I neglected to record the value. N12 only has 10 levels recorded mostly because easy nodes were ignored.

Top five of your roster VS top five of others. As you approach the global top you start getting easy node 12, and, eventually, 11. I have never heard of easy 10. And those easy ones are machine-generated accounts (at least some of them).
You will get easy N9 and N6 before you get easy N10.
