Prefer if they could have fixed the bigger issue of Explore runs sometimes causing the game to soft crash… this still happens a year since it started though ☹ If they add Pet Gnomes to Explore as a form of compensation to this persistent bug then this is fair enough imo. I can dream… 😆 ---

> [@Graeme](#): > > Prefer if they could have fixed the bigger issue of Explore runs sometimes causing the game to soft crash… this still happens a year since it started though ☹ Nah bro. It’s your hardwares fault because not enough people report the issue in tickets. So when I do it. Across 5-15 different devices in 4 years. The devs see it as 150 tickets about me reporting crashes on ONE DEVICE so therefore I can’t be compensated for lost Sigils due to their lost time… seriously. 😂 (My crashes happen in events once in a while on my phone, on my Chromebook they happen when the game launches occasionally, RNG determines what kind of GoW crash the player experiences.) ---

If I play on wifi the same thing happens occasionally. If I play on 4g it never happens. ---

Any chance you could take a look at this for the next update? > [@Why are doomed club and doomed blade still broken](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/why-are-doomed-club-and-doomed-blade-still-broken/66746): > > I just cannot believe how long these weapons have been left in a broken state. This issue was first raised in [December 2018](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/doomed-club-skill-7-breaks-its-functionality/49938), and the problem has been reported and acknowledged multiple times in the almost 2 years that have passed. Leaving them broken just makes it look like the developers don’t care about the game. This is not a problem that requires a difficult fix, it needs one line of the database changed to assign a different upgrade that won’t break the skull creation. Most doomed weapons … ---

I expected nothing but still feel disappointed. They removed the inconvenience of having to click 1 thing for the 0.01% of players crafting that dreadful mythic, meanwhile everyone else has to click 11 times to get to the next explore battle.
