Re: Difficulty in star wars galactic battles

@kumquatinator Ah, I hear you. How has your progress been in the last week?

Hopefully the new mods will help a bit too.

Cheers,

Thx for inquiring on my progress; I do appreciate that. It's really still the same. I don't expect to finish the galactic war anymore since it's so rare now and I'm still overwhelmed by node 11 or 12 for sure. What algorithm is used to determine what strength opponents I'll get? Is it strictly by the power of my top squad or is overall strength across my roster accounted for? I don't think any opponent should pop up that is more powerful than one's top squad, at least not by much. We don't get our protection refilled and are already battling several squads that are pretty tough in earlier nodes, so we are already weakened by the time the final nodes come up. Still trying new toon combos tho, so we'll see.

@kumquatinator From what I recall, it is based on the five highest powered characters you have.

Hopefully the new mods will help in strengthening them to let you proceed further.

Cheers,

Nils

Totally agree. Something is wrong in the GW. The tweaks just are absolutely nuts and the addition of mods makes this game not fun any longer. Battle 6 is just off the charts in difficulty. The last #6 I got was a fully upgraded lvl 80 7* squad with maxed mods. What?????? The recent changes are not awesome.

Thx Nils. Well, nothing has changed still, even w mods: last nodes, especially 12, are too tough. I just look at the opponent and snicker, because I already know I have no chance. I'll auto play all battles except maybe my top squad because it's not even close.

I think most players do have a top squad they like to use in the arena, but the drop off gets very large very quickly from our top five toons and the remainder. Imo galactic war throws out too many tough squads that deplete our top squads to the point they're useless by the last nodes.

@tile00 @kumquatinator Hi again,

Community Manager EA_Jesse stated that he will check with the Capital Games team to confirm that everything is in order with GW: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/comment/559728/#Comment_559728

While I don't have insight into the specific, you definitely should not be facing a maxed out team at node #6 already.

My own observation from this weekend was similar to yours in that node 11 & 12 in particular were quite hard. I think facing one really good team like that at node 12 would be acceptable, but two in a row is a bit cruel.

I managed to finish it, but really had to dig deep into my roster. This was actually quite fun (using a low level Cad Bane's for stuns for example, or Ewok Elder for revives), but the amount of time required did exceed the reward level and I was only able to try as it was the weekend for me.

Cheers,

Nils, GW is getting harder and harder. My goals have dropped from trying to finish it to now just getting to node 9. Today node 6 is this pic, an opponent w all 5-dot, level 15 mods w super speed and strength. My jawas, ugnaught, EK were wiped out. Every B squad I throw at them is now wiped down to where I have one or two wounded toons left before I even get my first turn, so I retreat. My A squad loses its leader and it beaten up pretty good before I get one turn in, so I retreat. What's the point? GW is now something I put off doing and don't get joy from. How is this any sort of entertainment? I'm extra frustrated because I've paid plenty to you guys and shouldn't have this portion of the game become like this.
