So I updated the game this morning and the first thing I did was play a Galactic War match. ...Since I dig this part of the game. Normally I make it to the 6-8th battle before I am defeated by characters way above my level. This time around though I'm pulverized by the 3rd match due to fighting Characters I normally face late in the stage. This is getting just a tad bit ridiculous.

Yes it's gotten more difficult now. But now more than ever, strategy is key to a win.
Leader: Captain Phasma, the extra attacks are very nice
Darth Sideous, the Heal Immunity his basic attacks do is often a game changer. Like when some of them is down a lot and is Heal Immune, the opposing team wastes their heal abilities doing nothing
Luminara: excellent healer and also high damage
Jedi Consular, also for the healing.
Old Daka: In some way the most Important character because she can raise the dead, heal, and her basic attack stuns.
They are all about lvl 68-70, Luminara, Sid, JC is 7*, Phasma and Old Daka 5*.
My strategy:
First kill Darth Sideous if it's present, getting Heal Immunity yourself is sometimes really annoying
Second: Kill Old Daka, so she can't raise the dead.
The rest kill them in order of damage they can do to you.
Whenever some of your characters die, use Old Daka's resurrection ability. If it fails, RETREAT!
That way I sometimes win the entire GW with a single 5 character team.
It can be really tedious but if you persist you usually succeed. Just keep trying and trying until you beat a level without losing a single team member. There are times when you are against an extremely strong team, like all maxed out characters. In that case I usually swap my entire team with other characters and let them fight to death, weakening the other team and then finish it with my base team. This of course doesn't always work but this strategy is pretty good for me at least.
As per all other replies to this topic, I'm not the only one who thinks GW is now impossible. Is anything going to be done? If so when and if it takes a long time what about compensation? Players not just myself were working through GW daily. What about all the war tokens, shards, ability mats and other goodies we are now missing out on until this gets sorted!?
GW is no essentially impossible - EA what are you thinking, please sort out this mess. Thank you
Old GW started off 5 levels from your level at first challenge. GW is not harder you just can't use the same strategy of playing off the retreat function anymore.
It's mostly character based now. If you have enough characters you can clear it daily.
3rd clear in a row
There is nothing to fix. EA want your money and nothing else
Na man, I am a level 70 and so are 8 of my characters. I agree with what most are saying;
Since the last update early 2016. When this went live, I have the same issue. I was enjoying things, even when I was around 100 PvP Squad Arena. But I was able to finish 80% of my Galactic War marches.
Now four chests into the Galactic March I am being smashed by opponents. One team can often take out my entire "A" team all level 70 and even take out my "B" team around 65-68 level EASILY. Kind of takes out the fun of it really. Most of my "A" team have level 6-7 Attacks and Abilities with Level VII gear. Suddenly this is not strong enough for half a march.
This really needs to be changed to make it fun again.
My team A killed 2 oponents, team B killed the rest 3 and roughed up strong, started last battle. To kill 4 chars in the last battle I used this roughed up team and next C team.
The last left Fives and I have next my D team to fight - the strongest char had 10 levels less possition in compare to Fives. And this team killed him without lost any char. (I do not have good opinion about Fives and I will never farm him)
My 6th battle today is against all level 70, 7 Lumi, 7 Phas, 7 Sid, 6 Kylo, 6 Consular. Not much chance of beating that. And If I do, there's another team like that a couple battles on. Its been like this since the last update, and to make it worse, their DoTs will kill me, but mine won't kill them. Haven't won, or even got very far in GW since the update. I used to be able to get a lot farther along, or even win the GW before. Not anymore.
Makes it hard to rank up the characters if you can't get the rewards and you can't get the rewards without ranking up the characters.
I really like this game, I like collecting the characters. But when it's too hard to get anywhere, the fun dies quickly.
Update** with gratuitous use of the retreat button I was able to make it to battle 8 where I now ran into (keep in mind I am a brandddd new level 62) 3 70's, 2 66's, all 7 star and gear 8. You've gotta be joking EA. Please tell me how any manipulation of my roster is going to get past that. Even with a full roster at battle one.. Let alone 8 battles in after that squad killer crushed half my A team in fight 5
