Galactic War difficulty

I am at level 52, but start to facing level 65 squad in GW, My squad got two at level 5 with purple gear, rest of the team at level 4 with tier V gear, I think the gear set is prompting the higher level squad. This turn this fun game into a frustrating grind, almost pluck grown $100 for the crystal vault, I will hold it off to see if this problem continue as it is now.

Personally, I have only put $5 into the game for the starter pack that included Greedo and I also started playing at the very end of December so I was a little more than a month behind those who started when the game released. But I have played daily since I started with only a day or two that I have done little to nothing in the game.

The difficulty, as I have leveled up, seemed to be pretty even with my account level. When I first unlocked the Galactic War, I was only able to complete it for 2 days and then I could never complete it. Recently, I've unlocked a few new characters that added quite a bit of usefulness to my team of 5 and I have been completing that Galactic War off and on for the last week.

I don't think the characters that you have make a difference when it comes to what opponents you are going to face. But, if you don't have a team of 5 that works in sync, you are likely going to have some trouble getting through a lot of the Wars that you start. I would suggest trying new things until you find something that works. Also, be picky about what characters you choose to level up because the training droids are in limited supply when you're trying to level too many characters at once.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, and thank you all for sharing.  I decided to reduce my ranking in the Squad Arena to see if that would change anything.  I'd heard the difficulty of GW is based on your level, your squad power, and your squad arena rank.  I went down to rank 2500 or something like that for a couple days and saw ZERO improvement.  In fact, it's gotten even harder.  So I'm convinced that the GW difficulty is a mixture of your best possible squad power, and what EA server you're on.  That was a theory another user pointed out a while back and I think it makes the most sense.  Even here one of you mentioned your account is vastly different from your friends' game experience.  I think it's because the server you and I are on happen to have more powerful players, thus making it more difficult.  While others have less powerful opponents.  It's unfortunate for us, because it seems the more I try to get powerful enough  to beat it, the more difficult my opponents become.  It's not a great system.  If it's this challenging, what's my motivation to try?  I have to win some times, right?  Am I just being a diva?

I'm stuck with this same problem, too. I've been focusing on leveling up my team only for the galactic wars. Every other part of the game is fun to play and challenging enough to make it entertaining. But now every time I stop playing it's due to the frustration of getting a team I've been developing for months being destroyed by a team I have no business fighting, and no chance of beating. I waste entire teams of lower level characters just in the hopes I can get one member of the other team down and make it possible for my A team to get a win without major losses. I used to be able to win with characters to spare, and now I'm lucky if I can get to the last bracket before I lose everyone. Most days I quit in frustration and wait for the reset so I can get my win and complete the daily tasks. I spent so much time getting a team I was happy with, and now all that time is wasted. Oh well, there's always another game down the road.

It seems definitely tied to level to me... I had been making some progress with it after it unlocked, but then a couple levels later, I noticed the rewards were getting stingier, & now that I've made level 56, I can't even clear the 393rd damn battle!

This game is beginning to really stink, because you get quickly to a point where you can NOT progress, because your squad isn't good enough, AND you can't GET any of the things you need to improve your squad!!

Fortunately I didn't spend a lot in this game either, & it's starting to look like just give it a 1 star& move on to another game...

You quickly grind to a halt because your squad needs one thing or the other, & you can't get get things you need! 

Items are further along in locked levels, & trying to get shards is ridiculous! Even with buying data cards, because they are random drop eash,: even if all data cards gave were shards, with the number of hero's (at least half of which apear worthless)  the odds of getting useful shards from a data card package are disgustingly low
