Hey yall, so the last week and a half it seems like galatic war has gotten significantly harder across all my accounts. I realize that folks say that sub 85 the difficulty is there, but prior to the last week and a half ive bern able to semi autobattle through no problem.
That said im finding myself running into 82 to 85 teams at 70 to 76, and often times with much higher gear or with omega and zeta abilities. Anyone else notice a change or, is sometjing going vadtly wrong with my accounts?

The game puts the same difficulty on a team of clone wars Chewbacca lumi maul foo and magmatrooper as it does on cls r2 raid Han chaze if at the same power. So you probably got an unlucky draw
That said theres a point where you start facing teams with zetas so maybe that's a difficulty jump you noted.
Yeah i run phoenix as wel, got buggered on a fo team then a empire team, threw my empire at both and got creamed. Ive lost appx 5 days worth of clears in the last werk and a half. Its significantly harder now
No doubt. I think the hardest part is when the opponents start get get into that 80-85 range. But then as you continue to improve the gap will close, since they can't really get any stronger.
Why does it need to take a whole year just to get a single squad to be battle ready? And why does now need to take 3 years for a Ship squad to be viable?
Because I’ve done the math and that’s how long it will take; if you are Free To Play!!! You can’t even right a bad review in the App Store and sometimes even here. I doubt that anyone will see this or even care to do anything about it
I’m at player level 83 by the way
Could be wrong and it has nothing to do with it, but if you've increased your Arena rank recently, it could be an answer.
Place in the top 500 in Arena & you receive 500 Squad Arena Tokens.
You also receive 200 from Daily Activities.
It costs 400 SAT for 5 shards, or 26,400 for 330 shards.
/700 for your daily income = 37.7 days to 7* a character from Squad Arena Store.
So if you farmed all 5 characters for your squad from there (Not that this would happen, you'd be farming nodes elsewhere at the same time), it would take 190 days to get 5 characters to 7*.
In the 1 year timescale you've provided, you could have 2 full squads/10 characters to 7* from this single source.
Or, 1,200 GW Token per day, if you complete all 12 encounters.
400 for 4 ship shards, or 5 character shards, so 16 Ship shards or 20 character shards per day.
330/16 = 20.6 days to purchase 330 Ship shards.
330/20 = 16.5 days to purchase 330 Character shards.
Add your daily Fleet Arena Tokens.
Let's say you finish in top 500 & receive 1,000 Fleet Arena Tokens per day, plus a further 100 or so from Daily Activities.
1,100 per day.
400 for 4 Ship shards, or 5 character shards = 26,400.
26,000 / 1,100 = 24 days for a character to 7*.
33,000 / 1,100 = 30 days for a Ship to 7*.
This is obviously best case scenario, if you're farming a character or ship that is always in the store, for each of the 4, or 3 refreshes per day.
It does not, however, take account of the shards you are also gaining from your Energy expenditure in this same period which will further decrease the length of time required.
It's nowhere near the 3 year length of time that you're claiming.
Things speed up as you play. I am a F2P player that has been playing only for six months in the top 20 of my fleet shard. I have seven starred 7 toons this month alone and now have 37 seven starred toons half of which are level 85, placed my second zeta today and have three toons gear 12. Point is things speed up as you play if you plan and do you homework on what to farm when.
There is this awful time between levels 65 and 84 when progress is slowed and it seems everything gets harder and you can't keep up as a F2P player. GW will get much harder and you will fail to complete it a lot. You can't level all the toons you need. Whales will dominate in the arenas. Many good guilds will not want you as you can't add much.
But then 85 happens. GW become easier as power levels stabilize. You can finally completely level your toons so your roster becomes more complete. With focus your toons power can start to catch up to the whales. True you will not have as many powerful teams but you only need one. The mythic events become doable. High end gear becomes farmable. And you can add more to a guild so good guilds will want you more or your old newbie guild will grow with you.
I been where you are. It was just a few months ago. It gets better soon. This is a game of resource long term management. There is always going to be something new and shiny to chase. But if you stay focused on what you want to do a free to play person can compete if he/she plans, learns about the game and stays focused. GW goes from hard to being able to auto then to be able to sim it.
Don't give up. your just in the kitten part of the game. it ends soon.
