Right, Carnex. I’m not sure what to say. He could use a buff for sure, question is how. Self cleanse would be useless for him, since he’s Impervious anyway. ---

Any chance we can get a refund for Kraken as well? This is predicated upon my love and feelings of loss over his former trait, and has nothing at all to do with the fact that I need more Venoms for Wulfgarok. ---

In general, this is basicaly what I expected from this patch. Event system seems promising. If managed correctly it can bring so much needed variety into the game. No other big changes and some bug fixes. I have a mixed feeling about the shop items though. Some bundles seems reasonable. Some are great for new players which I believe was a reason behind that. Weapon bundle is great for veteran collectors. I personally don’t feel that Typhoon of keys bundle is worth the price. What I am really missing is the tab in shop to buy specific arcane traitstones. This woud be great to be able to buy arcane I need at the time I need it without need to farm exploration mode. I will never buy a random bundles. ---

If 5 is not enough, I’'m pretty sure I’ll get the 6th one sooner then later 😃 Btw i disenchanted (!) The fifth draak. Spent all of that huge pile of 150 souls he gave me on leveling the giant toad! ---

I’ll wait and see what the traitstone bundles are before I pass judgment. That said I really was hoping for the option to purchase Runics and Arcanes ala cart. That more than anything would put me in the Shut Up and Take My Money meme 😄 ---

I’m ignoring everything under “New Shop Items” (well, maybe I’ll consider cherry-picking an old weapon if it’s not random), and I really like the patch. I mean, money grab or not, we can always just not go there =p It honestly doesn’t seem like a step towards P2W to me. ---

I’m not happy to hear the news about Manticore. Famine would be the obvious choice for me, but what is my opinion worth, I play for free. ---

I, for one, am overjoyed with this. I’m tired of seeing Manticores and I think they were OP for their base rarity. ---

As you see it seems they took notes from stuff people proposed. Which is very nice 🙂 ---

Wow, I love most of this! Great changes to troops - I can’t wait to try out the new kraken and gorgotha. Also glad that old weapons are coming back, I’ll be saving my $5 for crescendo. Just one potential negative for me: > [@Sirrian](#): > > New load screen has been added to game start up Man… I hope it’s not a character with ridiculous breasts! I hated it when it was green seer, made me look like I was playing a game for horny teenagers. ---

> [@aurora\_x](#): > > I’m not happy to hear the news about Manticore. Famine would be the obvious choice for me, but what is my opinion worth, I play for free. Each to their own, but famine is rightly powerful for a mythic IMO, where as manticore was way too overpowered for an ultra rare ---

Love that Kraken is getting its original trait back! Gonna try him as the lead troop in the Mab Justice setup and see how it works. ---

Imagine if there was an option in the game where we were able to select our favourite troop to be in the load screen upon game start up… 🙂 ---

I figure the Green Seer/Giant Spider/2x Kraken will be a popular loop. Placing Krak into the Mab Justice (Valk/Just/Mab) will be popular too IMHO. ---

yeah tell me about finding the balance between speed and effectiveness 😃 2 krakens sounds faster, adding mab safer but hey, it needs 2 loopers… [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/2-2-patch-notes/16599.md?page=1) [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/2-2-patch-notes/16599.md?page=3)
