I notice you have KRU. Gear him up and get his first special to the point where it's un-resistable (Level 6 I think) and then take out Bastila or the biggest pest with that. It'll cleanse all their buffs and remove them from the fight for a turn. And he's a pain to kill for low DPS/equal level squads you're facing.

Working on it. He saved me from a lot of tough spots in the gw already. Very decent character indeed. Thanks

OH! So again you DO accept, that which character you choose to develop influences how well you perform in GW against certain teams. :-)

1- we are talking about node 3. You are putting me up against that crap. At least it could be a 74 level team, that would be nice. So for you it is perfectly normal that I get matched with a team 10 levels higher than mine in node 3, fine ( I know why that happens, but it’s just messed up). But can I encounter those teams for which I don’t have a counter team AT MY LEVEL in the third node ? Or do you think that’s to much for me to be asking.

Correction: I am not putting you against anything. I am not the matchmaking algorithm, nor am I a designer.

Ask whatever you want from the game designers. It's fine with me. My only point is that you COULD have beaten that team you complain about, by developing your roster differently.

2- not only you are not being serious/taking me seriously but you also are not listening. I am listening to what you are saying and you definitely are not. Probably because you didn’t face these obstacles that I am facing. I have never got this problem when I was a level 50-60 player (still lost, but against teams that were at my level or 4,5 levels higher, on the nodes after the6th node!!!). That, my friend, was before the October game update.

Wether you choose to see my answers as serious or not is all up to you. Just stop your personal attacks please.

3- 4 months playing I have been. If I had farmed more empire characters... I only have 4 months of this. I will take that into account and I will farm more definitely, but you can’t expect me to have that kind of roster power at my level. It’s just the way it is you will say, fine, but it’s a system that punishes new players. I really doubt that the best pro in the game could past the 6th node in the gw with a new account as things are right now. I don’t know how things were when you were at my level but I seriously doubt that you faced the same as I am facing now.

It's just the way it is....

5- if you still don’t acknowledge this then I ask you to get your hands on a 75 level account and see it for yourself what I am talking about. Play it for a full week. You won’t do that of course because you have more things to do with your life but if someone reads this and has a 70-75 level account then give it a try.

I don't acknowledge, that the opponent you complain about was unbeatable at your stage had you developed your roster a bit differently. I do acknowledge, that all players make choices along the way. I do acknowledge, that players at your stage won't have teams to counter all other types of teams and hence WILL meet opponents in GW whom they can't beat. Wether you acknowledge and accept all this is up to you. Do as you please.

Personal attacks ? You consider that a personal attack ? Incredible.

The only thing I accept and learned from you is that you are only interested in creating trouble and dissing everyone. I couldn’t care less about your acknowledgement. I just answered because I want the readers to see what’s happening in the gw and in case they feel the same way as me they should also express their opinion. With this said I am out, not interested in drama.

Telling you, that you could have beaten that team if you had developed your roster differently != dissing everyone. However, I believe you, when you claim, that you didn't learn anything from my posts.

Throwing my latest experience on the pile of evidence that screams "GW IS BROKEN!" I agree with all the complaints, I have now seen it myself. 3 years playing this game and I have never had a N3 battle like this one:

For reference, I have been using my undergeared Bounty Hunter squad in GW lately just to give them some exercise, and today was no different. I started the GW with this team:

Lost Jango on N2 to a L85 Bastila team. *shrug*

I do not mind more challenging battles to test my roster -- GW has been sorely lacking in that regard for some time now. It was nice to get a battle I had to work at a little more. I have a roster capable of handling battles like this, but new players generally do not. And that's where it breaks down: how in the world is a newbie supposed to deal with something like this? They cannot, and that is a problem. (my roster: https://swgoh.gg/p/929739623/characters/ )

It's past time for some transparency here. The GW algorithm has changed. Quit denying it and just tell us about it already.

1. GW matchmaking is not based on the team you use, but on your top—5 characters' stat power. It's safe to assume, that you are long past the point where the GW difficulty caps. The team you encountered doesn't look like a mismatch like those teams some others have reported. 3 of 5 characters are quite low geared.

2. CG have officially confirmed earlier this week, that they are aware of a bug in the matchmaking.

For comparison, here is my N6, N9, N12:

This cannot be the intended battle sequence. If it is, do us the courtesy of announcing the changes.

Would an answer from EA on the official forums for bug reports suffice?

It isn't. That's why it is a bug, and not a change in the algorithm. If the algorithm changed, we would be getting consistent results. We aren't. Sometimes you get no OP team. Sometimes you do. And it doesn't seem to matter which battle either. Sometimes battle 1, sometimes battle 12, sometimes one in between.

Though I believe a post by a dev in THIS subforum or the announcement forum would go a long way to helping people understand the situation.
