Since the update rolled out, Galactic war was changed and is now significantly easier for level 85 players, we know this, it was an intended change.
However, as a result, GW has become significantly harder for pre-85s, with many people getting stuck at node 7 facing teams at significantly higher levels, with full mods, and gear several tiers above what they have.
Something seems really screwed up.
Please share your experiences here. Screenshots would help if you have any.

Edit: dann I can't put it from my table but I was facing level 60 toons with prtection and today was even worst when I had to face level 55+ on the very first node. Not fair!
Harder on my main. I can take out nodes 1 thru 9 (sometimes 10 and 11) with my highest powered toons (Phoenix squad which just got me 7* Thrawn). But they cant finish it. Then I switch over to my Arena team (Wiggs/Chaze). I think Phoenix could finish it with my Arena mods.
My alt is running a NS team. If it wasnt for Zombie and MT, I would be in trouble. None of my other characters can really accomplish anything in it. Working on Phoenix squad, and once they surpass my NS, I should be ok.
It looks like you will need good teams that are very synergistic to complete it. Definetly wont be able to throw any toons together at random. And those teams will need be your most powerful toons.
Right now I am liking GW. Instead of having to be careful with my strategy on 3 or 4 nodes, I am fighting a tough fight on most nodes. Makes it more challenging. And makes me consider more carefully which toons get leveled or gear next.
Anyway, yes tougher, but not unbeatable. It is taking me more time to complete it, which is a smaller annoyance. Instead of breezing through it in the morning, I do a few nodes as I log in for bonus energy, raid starts, and arena and ship battles.
It would be nice if GW provided an adequate challenge for everyone at every step of the game. It shouldn't be too easy or next to impossible for anyone, regardless of whether they are 50, 70 or 85.
Right now GW is definitely very brutal for people who aren't capped. I was 68/69 and constantly faced 80+ characters and teams with great gear starting from node 1. Really wears your roster out and by the time you reach node 9 you're hurting hard.
@Morigen tell me that makes sense and is all right, no amount of strategizing will break that barrier.
Lower level players especially ones who just started are getting on average to node 6 or 7, itll take several months to 7* a gw character. They wont be able to get biggs for chaze for anling time unless they go for him in cantina....
i usually completed it 3-4 times/week, but now im struggling to even get to mission 6/7
simply kitten
I am confused about why you are asking me to tell you something makes sense?
The title of the thread asked for us to share outr experiences, and thats what I did. If you only wanted people to share experiences that were bad, that should have bern requested as well.
My level 59 hasn't had anything above level 75 yet, and as I am running NS with mods with speed secondaries (and speed arrows), I haven't (yet) come across a team I couldn't handle. As my Phoenix team surpasses my NS team, I may be in a different situation. But for know, it is ok for me.
Sorry, but this is not true. If you were under level 85 you would know this. GW has completely changed for all of us who are lower level. It's entirely different now.
For example, before the patch I've never seen any phoenix teams or DN/vader teams. I now get those constantly.
Not only that, but before the patch the difficulty was more of a "ramp up" with nodes 6, 9 and then 11 and 12 being harder than the others. Nodes such as 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 etc. were "refresh" nodes that let you breathe a little bit and save cooldowns, or heal up. This is no longer the case either, I've instantly had lvl 80+ teams on the very first node or similar ones despite only being 68 at the time.
Other people of my level range will be able to confirm what I am saying, GW has become a LOT more difficult to complete.
Im only wondering whats a higher priority for them to fix. GW for low levels or Dark TB for 85s.
Id vote for a rollback to a previous GW version until proper testing and debugging is completed
Thanks for pointing that out. That only proves that current GW behavior for under 85s is unintentional
I don't believe that is true, there are numerous first hand reports of significant difficulty changes to GW for sub-85 accounts once the update dropped.
You are correct, and I apologize, I am not trying to fish for bad experiences, but good as well, as you have provided.
I just got frustrated because you're pointing to a non-farmable team (do you have either of talzin/spirit/zombie?) that new players do not have access to anymore. I'm happy that you're still able to complete it though.
It's just a little bit annoying that this change was not announced and without very specific teams (often behind paywalls) the increase in difficulty is hampering new players' progression.
Before path GW was pretty much easy win for me. It’s definitely gotten harder but today was just bad. Hoping it was just RNG and not the norm.
Seriously? What a pos attitude. Max level players Need the rewards least of all. Leveling players are just building up their character and ship base, this affects them more significantly more than leve 85 players' time.
Now I'm again met with a really strong opposition from node 4+ onwards, this was never the case under the old system that had easy nodes inbetween the hard nodes. Now all nodes are tough, right from node 1.
