Hi, I have not played SW:Heroes for cca 2 years. Now I started again. I'm currently level 70. My problem is with PvP battles like squad arena, fleet arena or galactic war. I'm always paired with 80+ players, usually with max level 85. They have a lot of power in their squads (more than twice as me). It's really flustrating to play vs. them because I have literally no chance of defeating them. I wanted to ask if it is possible to resolve this by moving me to shard where I'll have players equal to me (at least in level). Or something like this. I don't think I am the only one with this problem. And flustration of players leads to the uninstall of the game. This is not bug exactly, but I don't know where should I put this. I was told on the EA help chat that I should put my issue here.

    This is by design. Your arena shard is determined when you join. It cannot be changed. If you want a new one, start a new account. If you are only level 70, it will not take long to get back where you were. You can also start on farming the new characters like Phoenix.

    Well yes, one of solutions is to level up to max level and farm character shards on the way there. But it will take me weeks just to be in position where I was when I stopped playing. I really don't like this design. I want to continue where I left it. I have now problems sometimes to reach fourth node in galactic war. Before I had very little problem finishing it all. So for example I cannot farm those green crystals that are rewarded for completing it. Same goes for fleet and squad arena. I am not able to go to higher ranks and farm rewards, because every opponent have level 80+ ale a lot of more power than me. It's flustrating to be cut of the parts of the game just because I did not play it for some time.

    Some players choose to re-start the game rather than try to play "catch up" for 2 years. You will likely never be competitive in your shard Arena without spending hundreds or thousands of dollars.

    I really don't like this approach from devs to players that once played this game and they want to continue where they stopped. I played it for weeks (maybe months) before and if I don't want to lose this progress, I have to pay a lot of money or play for years to cach up? Why would I want to do that? And I don't want to play from the start same thing for weeks again, that won't be fun for me anymore. And if I'll try to catch up, I'll be literally cut of the galactic war, squad and fleet arena.
