before i report a bug: anyone noticed that the screen seems to jiggle more now on explosions, spell cast and skull poke? i think this once happened in the past and then the devs removed it. i’m getting almost sick now, playing a lot of explores with explosions. ---

So by “tiered” they mean “diminishing marginal returns.” ---

With each patch I make sure that the “Feature Requests and Game feedback” section of the forum is not needed by the developers and exists only for the players. ---

Is that circle with a wolf’s face the actual debuff in-game? Because then I also have an _aesthetic_ issue with it _as well as_ a game mechanics issue — does **not** fit in with the style of other status effects (wasn’t “consistency” the excuse we were given when the pretty medal art was replaced by ugly art drawn by, I can only assume, untrained children?) and, frankly, looks terrible and out-of-place to me. ---

MY WIFE LITERALLY IN THE PAST 10 SECONDS JUST HAD A BETTER IDEA: WATERMARK OF THE FULL MOON. BOOM. POST IT. PIN IT. LOVE IT. Try harder, game designers, this is truly a new level of awful that I will hate every time I personally experience it, which will hopefully not be often because I will actively be going out of my way to avoid it. EDIT for (and no, the watermark doesn’t have to be the thing — it could have been _anything_ effect-wise that matched the other stuff. Maybe a shimmering streak of moonlight [that could even increase each time it fails to cleanse to show its increases chance to proc or something; a border of ragged-looking hairs,; an application of scratches — SO MANY THINGS could have looked better, but I guess this junk mechanic doesn’t deserve to have anything better than a junk stamp plastered over everything else) ---

> [@Magnusimus](#): > > 🤮 Dwarven gate has a wolf face now! What, it’s kind of cute, no? …No? It looks like a placeholder image someone used during early design phase, back when they were still figuring out what the status should do exactly. So, before spending time on how it should actually look, they just grabbed a random werewolf image from google images to slap on it temporarily. …And then they forgot about it, and released it. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/b/b/bbf97623e0659272b7a85ce1b38054c4e0711fa7.png) ---

By who, where, because I vehemently disagree. I only ever use EoE on green day every third war or so. So basically never. And now definitely never. ---

> [@vnpowa](#): > > Oh boy that doesn’t look good, would be even funnier if the image is copyrighted and 505 hadn’t paid for its use As far as I can tell it’s free for use if you download while registered, even when you only stay for your free trial period. I don’t really see anything wrong with it, if it’s offered for free, why not use it? Most of us also don’t insist on paying for the game when allowed to play for free. 😜 [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/5-4-update-patch-notes/69151.md?page=3) [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/5-4-update-patch-notes/69151.md?page=5)
