> [@Smash](#): > > Based on community back lash, do you blame them for spending longer on balance changes though? No. I blame them for not doing easy balance changes. Like removing blessed from life and deaths cast. Or fixing doomed Blade and Doomed clubs upgrades. So they only get credit for taking balance changes seriously… If they actually make some balance changes. ---

@Kafka if you dont mind could you help elaborate on this topic? the last couple patches said there were bug fixes when those bugs didnt actually get fixed. i know some of us would like to know what we no longer need to check and/or help verify the bugs are actually closed. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/9/6/96ca7ff2cb2bfbdb46230875fbec701697b158bb.png) ---

if you want a first, Xbox finally put out the achievements BEFORE the update went live… Unfortunately, none of the new achievements can be gotten anyways until Monday at the earliest. ---

I wish the Elite Pass+ offered automatically crediting your guild with points toward closing Guild Event Portals, or maybe I can clone myself before then. 🙈 ---

> [@Bernice](#): > > I wish the Elite Pass+ offered automatically crediting your guild with points toward closing Guild Event Portals, or maybe I can clone myself before then. 🙈 Not necessary. We’ll be most likely awretiring from bracket 1 due to the “fun?” work load that the devs insist on piling on us. While at the same time saying they are too busy to play the game. Shit I wonder why they don’t have time for it. 🙄 ---

Or they just forgot about it. Hence why the new stuff should be called Relics and the old stuff remained artifacts. ---
