Not difficult to find some place for the kingdom shield (which are soooooo great).

Xpost from the hotfix thread.
âDear heart, how like you this?â
I like to point out in how many ways this UI is lacking, ever in details. Youâd think that the altered state icons were done all in a batch, but no.
I was thinking about the same thing and rarity could be changed to word instead of stars and be centered.
Im really sad for the people who use troll/kraken/kraken they canât use it in GW without losing points and they need to find 6 team⌠must be really hard to think by themself

I hope your not calling out you own Guildmates with thisâŚ? I battled a clone army of roughly the same Defend team: Psion, Rag, Famine plus some random troop todayâŚ

Lol Naw, 5/0. Iâve lost more points to the Developers stealing my defense bonus than in battle. Iâm only at 18.2k this week after the -500 BS deduction for having 7 unique troops to date. I should be 18.7k, I donât think this new defend system was play tested.
That suck, at least itâs only 500 points i donât think it will really affect the final result, unless every member got the same bug?

I donât think anything was play tested.

Lots of people complaining about it in Guild chat. If itâs only one day that like -15k for the Guild, it should not matter much. However, if this continues to occur every day -90k could easily make a difference.
Because of the defense penalty many in my Guild received for no reason (other than lack of testing), it has encouraged some in my Guild to dig into the problem. Using their excellent initial work as a starting point Iâve done some work on my own andâŚ
I think itâs possible to get the full weekly bonus and run Troll/Kraken/Kraken/QMab (or any Meta team) on every single day.
And nope Iâm not posting itâŚAnd defiantly not streaming it like what was done in the past.

Go for it you still gonna finish #2
Now that youâve announced it, the honorable thing to do is to PM a dev with your suspicion and ask if they can verify on a test server. For my own sanity (what remains of it), I donât want this diversity bonus being undermined.

Iâm not 100% certain yet with out a live test and Iâm not going to use it or share the process with anyone, I can almost guarantee if I tell any of my Guildmates and it works⌠By next week it will be everywhere. That will be bad for news for me too because this week has been nice with a little diversity.
If people do this it will change nothing, they wonât do more points, it will be the same then before unique troop defense, exept everyone will get +12000 points and people will cry again cause they always see the same team over and over.
Started an account just for this thread.
This new UI is abominable.
The reason I got sucked in to Gems was for the beautiful fantasy mystique of the whole game. The gems were vibrant, deep and, well, special.
The traitstones, too, were beautiful. All that Gold and the gently rounded edges of the arcanes, with the inset gems etc, it took my breath away and elevated my mood INSTANTLY just with the visuals when I turned on my game.
The fonts were appropriate and seemd to wind and curve along with the fantasy themed music, the backgrounds and boarders on the cards all said âsomewhere far away, where the good guys win and things are more wonderfulâ.
Now the game says âWe just punched this out of windows. Itâs modern, so you will like it. Enjoy your squares and arial font.â I still cant get my head around who did all this?
Yeh, no. The reason we loved this game is because IT WASNâT MODERN. It took us all away to a better, more beautiful place. Now the traitstones are ugly, all evil and stuff⌠I could stare at an Arcane Traitstone for a few minutes, just enjoying the beauty. I wanted t reach out and touch it. Now they are vile and evil looking. Again, the beauty has been gutted. I could could go on and on and on. But Iâll just leave with this - PLEASE give us the option to go back to the old UI.
I hope you can have the humility to âcut your lossesâ. My wife and I literally gasped in horror when we turned it on the other day. I waited a week and came back to it before I left this, but it didnât change. Where the game was beautiful and polished looking, warm and golden full of adventure and fantasy, it now looks cheap and cold. Empty and lifeless - in short⌠You have killed the very soul of GoW.

One more suggestion that could help. Turn down the bullshit-o-meter in Guild Wars please and thank you

Pretty much this. Traitstones are the symbol of this game. Way more than the cards (the title of this game is GEMS of War, right?).
Changing the UI is one thing. It has commercial motivation and, whether we like it or not, itâs possible to comprehend.
Changing the Traitstones, though, changes the visual identity of the game. This makes the game quite literally a different game. And that Iâm not so sure it is what they intended to do. And if it is, I donât believe they understand the full consequences of it.

as soon as i understood they are going to keep this new ui, i realised they are just making it a different game
i think they should eventually go all the way and âdestroyâ the troop graphics, game icon, and kingdom emblems too, into the new style.
either that or change this ui graphics to begin with, while they still can.
id like if they hurried with either choice so i could have my peaceful game (if ui is changed) or leave the game / rethink of staying (if the rest of it is destroyed)
when they finish completely remaking the game i will re-evaluate it from the scratch to see will i wanna play it, as if its a different, completely new game, until then ill hang out a while longer
