Really, really? Broken Spire already has like 21 or something weapons! Other kingdoms might surely benefit from some weapon love… ---

I just want to make the joke that, _technically speaking,_ 7.3 does in fact give us players a way to “target specific dragons” to spend Dragonite on. We can target either Gem Dragons or Cosmic Dragons. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. ---

The 1000 VP achievement unlocked as and when expected. However, the 20 tiers achievement did not unlock at all for me. It has unlocked for a friend of mine. Platform is Xbox One. I’ve tried relaunching the game. ---

if it helps anything, my 20 tier achievement unlocked after I finished a battle. I’m not sure if it’s the battle after Tier 20 like the post below me mentions. I didn’t claim anything (dont get me wrong, wouldn’t surprise me if there’s issues) ---

On Steam, but can confirm it took 1 additional battle _after_ finishing Tier 20 for the unlock. Didn’t look at the achievements but collected all 20 ranks then went back to finish the zone and the next fight popped. ---

PSA: You can still test your own set teams in PvP. It’s just way more inconvenient. 1. Fight with the team you want to test in PvP defense in the Central Spire. 2. Go to chat/guild chat and find something you wrote or x minutes ago type of post. You can still bring up your own profile. Likewise, you can also go to your Guild’s roster and view profile. Defense will be the last team you fought with. ---

Ugh. I don’t know why I didn’t do this as it’s also a common fix for many GoW things. I’m so dumb. 20+1 it is! Thanks to both of you. ---

Something doesn’t feel right with the new VP scoring. In the old version you had a choice of 3 battles and each round they were around the same number of points. Now then us massive variance. One battle the max option is 90 the next it’s half that. In effect you are penalised for playing the game as it’s harder to match against the higher level players which seems to be driving the points not the team power. ---

gold, glory and trophies sortet by team strength; vp sortet by hero level. and yes, for me as a lvl2k+ player having a lot of opponents with 25 VP, i have to do a lot of battles to even reach the pvp goals, this system makes no sense and i already dislike it. ---
