This is a formal complaint and a possible remedy about the way Protection works in Galactic War.
I am new to the forums, but have been playing this game almost constantly since soon after it original release (other than a small 2 month hiatus). I have enjoyed it very much since then and it has given me a great distraction from the stresses of grad school.
The addition of GW was amazing. I loved it. I could sit down for 30 minutes or an hour in the evening before bed and knock it all out depending on how lucky I got with opponents. However, after this recent update...GW is now no longer a fun stress reliever for me. It frustrates me.
I understand it is supposed to be fun and challenging all at the same time, but now it takes at least 2 or more hours to complete GW with the damage nerfs and the protection added.
I am not here to complain about damage nerfs, I am ok with them and am ok for the longer amounts of time I spend on the battles (except now Barris' basic is like hitting someone with a feather pillow, but thats another story for another time).
Complaint:
After one or two rounds, the team I started with no longer has protection. However, every team I encounter has protection as I move toward the middle of the holotable. At that point, I have no protection at all on my top 5 to 8 or so players, making the latter part of the holotable nigh impossible to complete (even with restarting battles).
Remedy:
Allow for protection for each toon used in the battle to regenerate fully in between battles (or every 3rd battle at the silver, gold, or purple boxes).
OR
Allow protection for each toon used in the battle to regenerate one full bar in between battles.
OR
Allow protection to regenerate fully for each toon used in the battle ONLY if the protection bar hasn't been completely depleted (even if there is just a sliver left).
I think these remedies or something similar would allow GW to be significantly less frustrating, yet still keep it more challenging than it was pre-update.
Thank you EA for the update, overall I actually like it a lot. Its bringing in new strategies, which ultimately will allow for more new characters soon.

A 7* Gear 9 RG has over 20k HP and 18k protection. That's close to HALF his HP.
Imagine if you run RG, by the time you're at the later nodes, that's your RG (20k HP) vs his RG (38K HP)
Not to mention we still got 5s, Savage, etc.
That is not balanced. Period.
I agree that 25% proc regen for the bench would be a good feature.
I am level 74. I have spent a few hundred dollars on crystal refreshes. I have 12 characters at level 74, and 6 more at level 70. All my characters are pretty much a max gear level.
I have 3 teams that I am able to mess around with. So far, all attempts and team compositions have failed to complete the GW. I have attempted with max level and gear Barriss as lead. I have attempted with max level and gear Luminara as lead. I have attempted with 3 healers. I have attempted with Luminara, Barriss, and Daka. All have failed.
At max level when you get to the final 6 nodes, everyone you fight has full protection bars while yours are depleted. Not to mention you are fighting everyone at least level 74, most are even higher.
Galactic War is such a disappointment to attempt to play now. I am beginning to lose motivation to play the game and am starting to look for other things that are more fun and worth the time investment.
Please fix this D.
Seriously GW has become a cake walk. It is super easy now and even easier than before the update. A team of Lumi, JC, Keth (Jedi that can stun), Talia, and RG can go through with pretty much no problem and can defeat teams that have full protection while not having protection. If you use and have enough healers then GW is very easy. I even use Barriss and Ashno and those two characters coupled with a few other random guys can win a few nodes easily on their own.
Seems fair, makes sense too.
This was the exact method I cleared GW with today. But **** it took forever!
