Increasing rewards in GW ... why not ?

Nowadays, GW is complicated as hell. Normally nodes 6, 9 and 12 are golden squads ... you might be able to beat them, wasting a pile of toons and a considerable amount of time ...

It should not be this challenging for just 400 extra tokens ...

It might be OK that GW gets more and more complicated, so it becomes a real challenge from node 1 to node 12 ... but it is not fair to increase the difficulty not increasing the rewards

Most of the people might abandon the GW in node 9, or 10 because the reward is not worth the resources and time you need to waste to hit node 12

CG, what's about increasing the reward ?

    I've been level 85 for months now and the whole time I've played this game I can honestly say there has been less than 10 GW that I've been unable to beat. I am F2P and not very stacked. I don't really understand why people have so much trouble whereas its always been a nicely adjusted level of difficulty for me, but here are my theories:

    - I have always spread my resources across multiple teams that are capable in different ways. I notice many tend to dump everything into one team and when that team runs into its counter, they are hooped.
    - I have a suspicion that people really lack a concept of basic strategy. They blow cooldowns at **** points, they allow characters to die unnecessarily instead of restarting etc. GW is an endurance battle and is vastly different from arena in strategy
    - Maybe I've been lucky with specific characters. I pulled Bariss from a pack very early on and she was really a blessing for GW early on. After reading how hard GW was "guaranteed" to get eventually I panicked and levelled a resistance team and zeta'd Finn, which has made GW a joke of course.

    I don't know why I'm sharing this. Maybe just encouraging people to stop complaining and try something different. I think the rewards are just fine.


    Let us know when your GP is closer to 1M than 500K.

    GW is a cakewalk when your character is that young.

    The longer you're in the game the harder gw gets until you can't ever finish it. I get to node 11 almost every day. But it feels like it's a once a week occurrence of actually finishing node 12.

    GW is pretty easy. The "hard" nodes are always the same team rotation just a matter of which 7-8 toons are in that team. Just make sure you have the right squad ready for that rotation of team.

    So recently that probably half of the remaining player base doesn't even know that there used to be even smaller rewards. We had at minimum one level cap increase since they upped the GW rewards. Another improvement is long overdue.

    Credits are fine as is with Credit Heist, more Crystals won't happen, and I think the amount of tokens is adequate.

    What's missing though is real quality loot, like an updated shard pool and maybe a handful of the most desired gear.

    My bad. Still think that something valuable could be added - even if it's only a few salvage pieces.

    The reason you don't understand why people have difficulty is because you have still not faced the most geared up & cutting edge opponents that Galactic War has to offer. Full gear 12 squads multiple times per GW, including some of the biggest whales on the planet brandishing mods with speed secondaries higher than 20 each on the most powerful facerolling character combos possible.

    If you did face such opponents and manage to beat them, you wouldn't be satisfied with a Talia shard and an Ugnaught shard for a reward either.

    Don't disagree at all. The rewards were updated but really not that 'helpful"

    Lol, these days I get excited whenever it's a shard of a character I haven't already finished. I would take Ugnaught and Talia over better characters I'm done with any day.

    Ugh. Just imagine the added outrage from the crowd of "GW is impossible" ranters.


    I'd be ok with that.


    I wouldn't be ok with that. "GW is impossible" ranters are all over the boards on a daily basis as it is. I liked it better when there was a GW Megathread and all the rants were sent there and never seen again.

    Then again, maybe you love the delicious taste of salty tears.

    I believe that was the third time they increased GW loot as well. Sure I would love more goodies from this game mode, but what we get now is tons better than what used to be in there.
