Player Created Galactic War posts - MERGED HERE

Retreat does work, from my experiences just now it simply resets the game to the last position you either did a restart from, that's either the beginning (if you have not retreated already) or to the last retreat point. I have had my killed toons come back just the same way theirs did and at the last save health level. At least you can still swap toons out this way which I think is the point they want retreat used for.

I completed GW earlier, it was just not as easy as before and needed more thought because simply retreating to remove an enemy buff (eg cheewie taunt) now makes you think about the other consequences. I can see why some people don't like it though as with a lesser roster of players it's now definitely harder.

This works exactly like the GW equivalent in every other game I play. It's supposed to be a puzzle to figure out not an annoyance to manipulate and drudge though by retreat 45 times a day so yor at max health between mission to get your free daily loots. I am relieved that I will spend 30 minutes less a day messing with the pick my team screen in gw.

Personally i think GW is bugged. First off i got into a match vs a level 1 Poe, and Poe only. Then i fought the next match, only to find out that retreating resets the match. But then my Luminara got killed, and i retreated, she was still dead. It's really weird wat is going on now and I don't think it's working as intended.

This will make it impossible when you get to the stage where you are dealing with full 7* purple geared teams I'm every battle from 6 onwards.

The stupid thing about GW is the stronger your team becomes the more difficult it gets, but there rewards don't increase in line with the difficulty.

GW is easy when you are below max level or have a rubbish roster, but once you have a good roster it becomes incredibly difficult.

This is horse c.r.ap. sneaking this in without mentioning it in the patch notes is bush league garbage.

There was, what, like one or two window lickers asking for this change, and literally nobody else wanted it. Way to go, developers.

What a fuckin joke, it was really hard even with retreat and force quit, now it's impossible.

I just passed GW. It's definitely harder, but I still passed without losing a single character. And I don't even have that strong of a team. 7* Lumi, 6* HK-47, 5* JC, 5* GS, and 4* Poe. The teams I faced were similar in strength as normal.

I retreated twice. From what I can see, retreat is exactly the same as force quitting now.

And the thunder rolls......

Its pretty much is the same as result as force closing. I for one think it was a good idea, if a match doesnt go your, retreat and start again fresh. I lkke it. Plus no more complaints of force closing being cheating.

If this is true, how is that making GW more of a Challenge? It makes it even easier since now you can keep treating till RNG favours you lol... Dooku didn't double Stun? Retreat till he does, Daka didn't revive? Retreat till she does lol...

Because you actually have to deal with sid/vader s dots poggle/phasma buffs, tunts, obi was debuff etc. Things just ignored previously because I'd just back out.

Retreating also got rid of your buffs and dots and debuffs on the enemy. You had to decide if you wanted to wipe your benefits to eliminate the enemy's. It's called "Strategy"

This is shenanigans and oure sarah palin style whargarble and you know it 100% of the time it was better to retreat after poggle used his thing regardless of our own buffs. In fact 100% of the time you diddnt use your buffs yet because you are smart enough to know after they do it your gonna retreat. At no point has someone gone man should I eat the 4 or 5 dots on all my people so I can keep a dodge up and an advatage.

They knew this would make people angry so they just snidely fail to mention it in the patch notes. As if we wouldn't immediately notice they just ruined the most significant content in the game.

I'm sitting here shaking my head.
