Galactic war harder with 7* characters?
I have never had a problem with Galactic war, my teams pretty solid, im level 61 always in ranked top 50 and have no problem taking out a full level 70 team, but ever since I got my sid and lumi to 7 stars, I have not been able to beat a single galactic war, after the third battle, all I get is full level 70 teams with maxed gear, I can take out one but 8?! Have I completely screwed my self by starring up sid and lumi? Im missing out on so many ability mats and tokens now. If they base your match ups off of star level, thats ridiculous, it should be based off of current level, and gear level. makes me want to stop shard farming.

It will take a couple weeks, but try farming/leveling/gearing nothing but B squad members that can help you in tough match ups. DPS with assists, healers, and high HP characters help in different matchups. It's nice to have a stable to choose from. GW will still be tough and frustrating. But, it will at least be possible to beat.
I have 2 accounts.
Account 1: Created mid-December. 12 Level 70 toons, a bunch more in 60s, 5-6 at 7 stars, all gear level 7-8, rank 1 in arena almost every day. I start GW against level 48 squads, and finish against low 60s squads. I MIGHT fight a level 70 squad once or twice every couple days.
Account 2: Created mid-January. 5 level 69 toons, 6-7 low 60 toons. 2 are at 7 stars, 3 at 6 star, only 6-7 are gear 7 or 8. Highest arena rank is 2, always in the top 20. Now this account is like you describe, start against level 58 squads, and it's against level 70 all 7 star teams from the 4th battle to the end.
The bug is that both accounts are experiencing vastly different battles, and my main account is lightyears beyond my 2nd account.
The devs keep denying it but after months of 12 fights per night I know better to believe prog rates are the same on both sides. Enemies' 5*, lvl 65 Lumi gets to go before my 7*, lvl 70 Lumi, and OHKO her regularly. Enemy Daka/Dooku can keep half my team stunned at any given time. Enemy Poe expose my entire team with every taunt. The same characters hardly ever prog anything on my team.
It seems GW is designed to be nigh-impossible to beat. If you can finish it regularly that should be exception not the norm.
Either way the experience is just infuriating and increasingly not fun.
Agreed! im fine with it being really hard, I enjoy a good challenge, but its flat out impossible sometimes. Even if I had thousands of dollars to spend in game, I would see no victory unless I had at least an A,B,D and E team completely maxed out.
This is false information... GW is calculated using the highest team power you've ever won an arena match with. It's been confirmed by devs on Reddit and on here.
2nd account, squad power is 25.9k, and get level 70, 7 star squads by fight 4 or 5, all the way to the end.
I could believe that easily, I am pretty low level compared to the people I am winning against in the arena. I have battled level 70 max * and gear, and won, thats how I hold my rank 47. But it wasnt an easy battle by an means, and I lost all but one of my team members, so no way in Hell I could fight a full galactic war of those teams.Still, Really a ridiculous way to calculate your opponents IMO.
I believe it more than some anecdote about varying squad power based on time of the day and your own entering squad power.
I always complete levels with my top 6 characters (1 i rotate based on heals cd), all 70, all 6 or 7 stars). Difficulty varies wildly, but i can promise you it's independent of my squad power. Same thing with time of the day. Sometimes i do it at midnight, sometimes i do it mid - day, sometimes late at night and end up resetting just before next days night. If anything the second GW (when i get delayed a day and end up playing 2 galactic wars in a row) feels easier, although i'm sure it's my imagination.
Best way to understand GW is your top 5 BY POWER, or top 10 maybe, and it gets much harder for 7 stars
I have a proper team for sure, I rank top 50 sometimes, and always top 100. I dont have a full B-team though, I guess I came a little late to the forums
That's the way it SEEMS it should be. But it is not. Read up above where I have vastly different experiences between the two accounts I use.
It's still bugged, IE. not working as intended.
Proper team for example is Dooku, QGJ, GS, Luminara + 1 you rotate time to time, keeping this main team at its best: HP, skills.
Does anyone running a QG led GW team struggle to finish?
Yes I run QG lead and I can no longer beat the GW
However, after the last time this happened ignoring my arena team seemed to make GW get gradually easier to the point where I stopped needing suicide squads or even my A team.
Of course this is all anecdotal evidence but it seems like the matchmaking is still a bit "off" compared to what most of us expect when we make changes to our arena team.
I dont need it to be a cake walk, my problem is Idc who you are, no one could beat the GW layouts im getting unless you had 4 teams all max level/gear/star. its not even close to accomplishable.
Never lost GW free to play. Just get Dooku, Luminara, GS and you're ok. More time spent at first. Now, fewer than 5 retreats.
