I’m not able to find the tracker. Where is he?
Is this not what you see?

No, I see pet rescue and because I’m in a quite active guild it will be almost permanent during gnome weekend.

Uh, sucks to be you?
Why exactly me? That’s the issue for anyone in the active guilds.
It’s not a good design.

Not just you. It was a weak attempt at a joke. My own guild is not so active, so I will get plenty of time to stare at Cedric over the weekend. Having more pet rescues would be pretty sweet, but at least I will almost always know how close I am to the next bonus vault key.
Edit: I assume that the pet rescue panel stays in the top left position even after you complete the pet rescue’s eight battles? So you can’t push it out of the way by doing the battles?
5.1 update could at least allow that you don’t get same owned Gnomes if you already own 4 copies of them, each, and have them fully upgraded.
Of course, this was a suggestion from me, and was ignored.
Bad @Kafka!

I will able to see Gnome tracker after all pet battles AND logout/login.
But pet battles cannot have gnomes so it’s counter-productive to do them in gnome weekend if you don’t need that pet.
And additional and unnecessary logout/login isn’t adding enjoyment either.
As I said, it’s not a good UI design.

GUI shortcomings aside, the reward does not need to be claimed (à la campaign task), so we shouldn’t be missing out or having to go through overhead clicks…

Its done in a lot of games and is fairly common now.
Another advantage for the devs, outside of what kafka said, is it also allows those end gamers who have to be 1 of the 1st to finish tasks, which I am guilty of a lot in this game, to rush ahead and get things done if they can and get ahead and that leg up over others.
Then the devs can slowly add in new ways to get the resources at a trickle rate and ramp it up as needed. This is the better method than dumping a bunch in and then having to remove part of it so that its at the desired rate.

And even with 25% more stats we can’t play Delves to a long extent to make good use of such bonus unless we are in a Delve weekend. That’s not to mention the huge investiment of gems required for such events.
By the time the devs realize we need to be able to play more Delves Daily I hope they increase the number of free attempts by 2 AND allow us to spend gems to purchase more attempts without needing an event.
Something like 15~20 gems for attempt/sigil. No leaderboard, no shops, no extras, no extra clicks in a new UI. We just use resources to be able to play more.
With 5 attempts each day a player could reach level 500 in 100 days or so assuming they don’t fail too much. Payng a few gems daily they could cut this time in half or more. That seems like a good use for the Hoard Bonus WHEN the player reach that level.

It’s a free to play game. It cannot “end” like a pay to play game might be able to. The worst thing GoW could do for its own survival is “run out of content” and let people get bored.
Kingdom power levels give a slight competitive edge to people. Some small number of players will always do everything it takes to be at the top. If they reach it, they get dissatisfied very easily.
Some people want to be at that “top” but can’t quite play enough. It bugs them that there are players who have something they don’t. This is what keeps them coming back to the game, they desperately fear “falling behind” and won’t stop if there’s something to chase.
Those are the groups that spend money. The business model of F2P involves noting it’s easier to find 2 addicted gamblers who will spend $1000/month than it is to convince 100 people to spend $10/month. Since you can make $2k from the gamblers and only $1k from the regular people, the choice of customer is easy. If there isn’t a carrot for the gamblers to chase, you can’t use the stick to beat money out of their wallets.
I mean, think about it: suppose they waited until some % of the game already had everything maxed. Some people will get there 6-8 months faster than others. Would you stay in a game for most of a year knowing you’d achieved everything and new content might not be coming?
Do you also complain that Marvel movies tend to have a post-credits scene that hints at the next movie? In some cases, it’s an unfinished part of the next film. Why do they waste money on releasing something unfinished? It’s to keep your genitals aroused.
Some of these ideas are good-to-neutral. Some of them are detestable. Welcome to the mobile games market.

Pretty excited (and impressed!) that the new update has arrived with new gnome mechanics immediately available in a gnome weekend!
Good move, devs — to extermination I go

I appreciate the long reply above on your points about the game. There are obvious things you can and can’t say to the community. We as a community would like to see certain things address and unfortunately they keep getting pushed back.
Trying not to be too negative, but COVID should have little to no impact on developers as coding can be done anywhere. There is no physical manufacturing involved and most patching of servers can all be done remotely. Only when you don’t have iLO/DRAC connections to connect to a downed server do you have the physical hands on touch.
Please keep the information coming as much as you can and when you can. The community appreciates it and helps calm the masses when they understand things. Also, if negativity is thrown back at the community, it only incites them more. I am sure you know and understand.

I love this reply 
Things may be a little bit more complex, just tell this our army of developers with kids Not all devs /people are lonely nerds who can solve all the covid inconveniences with technical solutions, some are very human (and private 
)…

Ahhhh that would explain basically why 90% of the games scheduled this year have been delayed at least a few months. They just delayed the games because people and companies love to lose money.

The book of deeds is really the only thing on my mind right now. Either they will be dished out at a reasonable rate OR they will be relegated to only 1 or 2 per campaign and the rest tied to elite passes and flash offers. If it’s the latter it will for sure be the proverbial straw for me.
