I'm a lvl 79. I'm on the 8th node on this one campaign. All characters I'm facing are 7* lvl 80 with lvl 8 gear. Daka, Dooku, Luminara, QGJ, and Phasma. This is way too far. Fighting galactic war without protection is hard enough and then this **** comes up on top of it. GW is essential to the game and it seriously makes me want to quit. This needs to be fixed the next update. Ever since protection the game has gotten rediculously grindy. Please fix

GW used to be about healing management. Now it is about every opponent's rey one shotting my toons that have lost protection earlier in gw.
It's not that level 80 itself is the issue. It's that a lot of gear levels can't be reached until level 80. So, people are getting their arena teams to gears 9, 10 and 11 sending their power way up, which in turn makes the GW harder.
Apparently you haven't raised your arena power yet. This is indeed a thing.
It is a failed mechanic. It is not just grindy. I have almost 2100 gw battle wins. Gw has gotten much worse at level 80 with the protection issues and omega skills.
Omegas and protection are tuned for the arena. You lose protection after 1 round in gw. This allows omega leia and omega rey to one shot toons again. CG k ows that is a failed mechanic.
Yeah, I keep it low, 33k. Droid-Team, will change poggle for JE when he gets 5 stars to stay low.
They should completly remove protection from gw.
I bet it's even more annoying with lower dps teams, because it takes way too long.
Turuk.
My arena power is 38K
JE 4* all other droids 7*, all geared up towards max and not even approaching the top 20 Arena powers. Another thing that makes droids so broken.
This must be a joke. You are level 79 and complaining about a team of 7*'s that is only one level higher and only gear 8? At level 79 you should have a several teams of 7* and at least gear 8 or higher. Heck, I'm only level 64 and my main Arena team is four 7*'s and a 5* Fives. Two of them are gear 8 and the rest gear 7. I could easily field a team of all gear 8. What have you been doing with your gear and energy?
To pull from my other post:
I run JE 6* G9, 7* 88 G10, 7* 86 G11, 7* HK G10, 6* RG G9, 35.5k arena power, and haven't lost on offense yet to teams with 3-4k more power. I'm not sure what those numbers mean when chewbacca has the highest power of any toon in the game.
Can I ask you why you starred up that JE? Seems useless to me, given that the whole point is to reduce your opponent's squad to 3 before he gets a turn in.
Also feel like I have to make clear that I don't actually run droids, just have 88 and 86 to pew pew pew the Rancor.
Every bit of HP helps to keep him alive long enough to spread bombs, which make 88's attacks stronger since they act as a debuff. There's less chance he'll get wiped out by Rey before RG can taunt.
My team isn't the problem: 33k power and I've hit number 1 in squad arena.
The problem isn't beating them. That's not the hard part ****. The hard part is getting through the fight with your characters in the green by the end of it because that's how you win galactic wars if you weren't aware. And FYI, I beat the war. My problem is that it's too hard and too time consuming: GRINDY. Get up with the big boys before you say stupid stuff
Whatever made you think it is supposed to be easy? You are complaining that it is too challenging. Sounds like you are not really interested in playing the game, only collecting.
And, oooh you're such a BIG BOY with that number level 79. You must be the envy of the playground.
omg its DV again.
Hey I don't think its very cool that he gets the same rewards as me (lvl 62) despite that I can auto win GW most of the time with 1 squad and not lose anyone, and he gets nothing but meta arena teams. Don't you think that's kinda messed up?
EDIT: Also time consuming stuff like that doesn't seem very fun, which isnt very conductive to a game.
I love to play GW. It is easy . I am able to do GW from 1th to 12th very often using the same initial team. Sometimes I have to use additional team for 9th or 10th nodes.
I added Rey and 6* Yoda after previous Yoda's event and as the GW was for me long duties to have to do, from this moment it is an enjoyment.
Yeah let's go get a bunch of droid callers and scanners asap (because they're growing on trees now) and throw them on multiple toons just to make the GW easier, since if your arena power is high enough G8 toons won't cut it half way through.
I can only beat the last three or four nodes with my A team now. I only pray that I can make it to the last one with enough health to survive. It's a real pain in the ***.
Before anyone accuses me of not wearing "big boy pants"...I'm lvl 80 with 15 7* g7-9 (depending on needed pieces), and another 6 needing the credits to be promoted (also g7-9). I only lost my first 2 or 3 gw back when I first unlocked it and didn't truly understand the mechanics of it (I didn't even realize retreat existed until they changed it). I'm at 25/85 to a 6* Vader. He's fully omega'ed g9 (needing a few hard farm pieces for g10) and at lvl 80, just to give a vague idea of where I'm at. Not my only omegas, but probably the most uncommon.
Tl;Dr GW takes too long for what the rewards are. It used to be way easier,and quicker (like 20-30 minutes, not on auto) and the rewards were quite a bit more than now. Please give us a more balanced playing field.
