Can you not open one chest anymore? There are times when we actually want to do this for higher rarity chests… ---

Event keys are scarce enough that I believe it is a mistake to even offer buying 200 at a time, and without a confirmation window. ---

I wish we could decide between the old interface or the new one. Personnaly, i think the modifications made to the game simply makes it harder to play. The modifications seems not to respect any rules of cognitive ergonomics so it’s quite heavy to find what is what. Finally, There is to much sparks and i’m wondering if an epileptic person can no longer play the game. Thanks for improving the game but at least we sould be able to choose which interface we want because the new one is to much for me. Regards. ---

Agree @Shimrra. I really like the new grafx and effects. I do not like the stealth nerf to Forge and the lack of bug fixes to Guild Wars, however. > [@Why the MAJOR STEALTH NERF to FORGE?](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/why-the-major-stealth-nerf-to-forge/33974): > > @Nimhain@Sirrian Isn’t this a downgrade of the Summoning Stones?

Mixed response from me on the visuals. Generally happy that the UI is about finished, and slowly improving. Unsure why we get the three year old pop up on pvp rank after every battle still. Yes everything’s prettier. I’m finding the new status effect animations mixed. Burn is too bright and obstructive. Freeze though is really hard to see. Likewise Stun - but Freeze is worse and really significant to know. I’ve lost some turns already as I didn’t realise my troop was frozen - especially if its spell is also lit up ready to cast. Edits: The extra flash sparkles as every gem match resolved seem a bit distracting and unnecessary. For the crafting summoning stones UI, the menu icon to see what troops are available on summon stones of each colour is tiny and very hard to hit on a mobile phone screen. This should display far more obviously or even have the troops available show permanently with a UI rework. ---

Please PLEASE add a option to remove all the shiny sh!t! The new animations was fun for about 2 battles, now they are just annoying, blocking vital information and most likely drains resources from mobile devices. If we cant disable the effects add different skins to the UI. And the first skin to add would be “compact” where you remove all “shiny” effects and backgrounds and such. So that you only see what is vital. After that you can add “nightmode”, “full retar”…ehhh “full effects” etc This would help all those that get a headache and quit the game because of it!
