Ability to replay GW nodes without rewards?

SWGOH is an addictive game, no doubt about it. I think they said the average person plays more than an hour every day, which is pretty remarkable for a mobile game. But the fact is ... there's honestly not a lot to do. I suppose you could replay missions you've already 3 starred, but that is PvE, not that challenging, and because you are spending energy (a limited resource), you really don't want to lose the mission and the rewards.

In the end, and only in my opinion, GW is the closest you can get to a 'pure' SWGOH experience. Unfortunately we only get 12 missions, and in order to clear the board, you really don't get the chance to play around much. I'm not sure about anybody else, but I have 2 teams I use for GW, and except for those 'insane difficulty' nodes, those 10 characters are the only ones I'll use.

But ... what if we could replay GW nodes we've beaten for the day? Those nodes would be "off the clock" so that you don't get rewards and TM isn't maintained for nodes you haven't beaten. It would purely be a place where you can go back and re-fight those battles, using different group configurations, and trying new tactics.

Honestly, I would welcome *any* new gameplay that allowed me to use my roster beyond the 10-15 characters that are my core group, but it seems to me tying a new gameplay mode to something that already exists might be easier than trying to code an entire new battle area.
  • 10-15 is 2-3 teams. I have 6 teams made and play them all start to finish in GW. Just make more teams.
  • I bet content like this would be appreciated. Also a different RNG seed while replaying would be nice
  • That would be cool. Like a practice with different levels of difficulty and not having to spend energy.
  • Well, you can always retreat right before you defeat the other team, then start it again with another one. I've done that a lot to try out different squads

    One of the best ideas on the forum

    I would prefer a general training mode. Maybe like 10 battles per day or unlimited. Pick your opponent squad toon by toon, adjust gear level, star level and toon level. Mods would be difficult but I would be ok if they just put the most commonly used types of mods per toon on those training squad toons. Of course I should be able to adjust power of the mods by choosing the number of dots.
  • I probably wouldn't use it right now; I'm too busy in RL to devote much more time than I already do to the game/forums/discord. But it couldn't hurt and lots of players would appreciate it. I'd like a general "practice mode" where you can enter, change up mods and teams and have no effect on the rest of the game. Could be useful for trying new team comps and mod configurations without risking your arena rank while you switch mods.
