> [@Beg](#): > > I hate to ask, but how do you have that much dragonite? I’ve had a stack of about 10k dragonite accumulated per year Then I’ve used the method “run a gnome-a-palooza in explore 12, restart the battles until the dragonite gnome appears, then wait for one minute” But now I’ve ran out of verses, so my main hope for dragonite is getting lucky in the dungeon. + 80 dragonite each week which comes from a guild event and a completed underspire. > [@sylverscale](#): > > This is not fun, it’s demotivating. As Syrrian said in the Sneak Peak video “We’ve had a lot of fun with those gem dragons, so we thought it was time to craft some new dragons with dragonite” (0:40) Thanks everyone for support 💖 ---

> [@Fourdottwoone](#): > > it looks like the game is trying to load something, when moving from the Krystaria map to the PvP map as well as when entering a region. My guess is that it never succeeds doing that, it just eventually times out and proceeds without whatever it was trying to do This is 100% what it looks like 👍 ---

Two weeks without support are not helping me to keep my positive attitude towards the update. I said right from the start, it should be pushed into january. ---

I can only say this , support comes from both sides , if you understand me ? The longer they keep us waiting , the more support for the game will disappear . ---

Don’t hate to ask, just ask. It’s a trip isn’t it. Maybe it’s that dragonite secret I heard about online… the one that isn’t foolproof, but helps. Or maybe they’re level 5000 or something (🤣) like sooo many of this community seem to be. - - - with billions of gold, over a million souls, 30,000 gems… etc. 🙄 ---

So that’s like a guaranteed, 100 dragonite per palooza, if you do explore 12. Damn that’s a good strategy. Me likes 😁 ---

> [@Draegor](#): > > Is there an ETA on the Switch release for 7.3? I will safely assume that we will get it “blizzard soon.” Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Staying up late for Diablo 3 updates in my younger days, where I learned what patience really means.🤣 ---

> [@Darkborne](#): > > Diablo 3 updates in my younger days The combination of these words makes me feel very, very old. Hadn’t that game just been released recently (with me ignoring it due to its online-only requirement)? ---

That’s diablo 4. And the remake of diablo 2. Yes online only. Disgusting behaviour tbh . ---

Well, I was in my 20’s when Diablo 3 was released, but wish I could go back.🤣 I know this topic is kind of being derailed, but we have all entered the world of micro transaction hell. Games that I used to play on my GameCube and PS2 hold much more value than the garbage they release nowadays. “If u want to get another heart container for link, please pay 2.99 USD.” GET. OFF. OF. MY. LAWN. ---

We’ll go down in memory as the brief phase in gaming history between coin devouring game cabinets and premium subscription streaming, when players were actually able to physically own complete games at a reasonable price with no strings attached. Just enter a floppy, CD or cartridge and get going. Somehow we blew that chance. ---

I really didn’t pay attention to all regions last week, but it seems that most, if not all, are the same. ---

The colors are different today. I had expected a Shentang restriction, based on it being the kingdom of the week, and possibly a Elf or Divine. I guess I’m getting bored of Stryx. I posted in haste out of frustration. It kind of sucks that it feels like they put all this work into improving a new mode, but then they don’t do small basic things to keep it feeling fresher and properly working. ---

Yeah, I really would have liked new restrictions for the outer ring this week – it’s the third week for these ones (total, with one week of something different in between), and it’s getting a bit same ol’ same ol’. Purple is a nice change on the inner ring. [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/7-3-update-battlegrounds/82416.md?page=8)
