8.2 Update: 10th Anniversary!

Krusty the clown music starts!

@kafka - any word on when the new mythic and legendary troops will be added to the PVP shop?

Quite disappointed so far. I did the daily tasks already before the update, so that was a wasted day. At least the offers are sub par, so I’m not missing much anyway. But would it have been too much to ask for to add an “angel-like” offer there every once in a while?

Not to mention that “Dailies” sounds awkward and now we have another place that shows us the same stuff, but with more clicks.

On top still no PvP troops. This was the only addition I was looking for. At least the legendary troop, so I can use some silver marks finally.

Last but not least there’s an offer for the new pet. Will this pet be available elsewhere as well or will it share the same fate as other campaign pets before? It’s not even listed in owned/unowned yet, so I have a feeling that will haunt us later. Especially as pet numbers already don’t add up …

The Buccaneer Bounties are just another annoying pop-up that I have to close now. They will never be worth spending real money on.

Thanks for showing me the horrible “buccaneer butt-crap bounties” guys. It’s like they think we’re dumb and will buy them on accident.:rofl:

Over here in Nintendo Switch land, we should get this update soon, but yeah…It honestly would have made sense if these new cash offers were gem offers instead to make them feel like an upgraded merchant, but I guess that makes too much sense…

Buccaneer’s bounty is exactly what was to be expected - terribly overpriced piece of waste.

Dailies interface “upgrade” - unnecessary waste. Maybe somebody else likes it but I fail to see how it makes any positive impact on my gameplay.

Besides, guys, you really should check if you haven’t accidentally done something to Valhawks. Here are the last few days, tell me - which one looks not like the others? (We’ll see what happens in the following days, but still…)

You spelled daily shrine wrong.


Pathetic monetization aside. Adding clicks to daily tasks is an interesting choice when the they solely exist to be an incentive for daily play.

More clicks on the game boosts up the time played on the game, so it looks like people are playing more and longer :laughing:

Unlike others, I don’t mind the art. The extra clicks aren’t even terrible…

But if you want to have a “Dailies” screen, I want it to be complete. Tell me whether I’ve done my Dungeon and Citadel battles. Tell me whether I’ve gotten sigils from my 3 valhawks for the day. Tell me whether I’ve used all of my guild event sigils and have used all my torches for Underspire. Tell me whether I’ve assigned my 2 honor for the day. Tell me whether I’ve used all of my delve attempts for the day. Tell me whether I’ve done my holiday battles. Tell me whether I’ve done faction assault, pet rescues, class events, or bounty.

There’s a lot in this game that needs to be done on a daily basis and won’t wait for the weekend. What I really want is something that’ll give me all this information and remind me of opportunities I only have on a daily basis. It won’t bother me if it’s mostly text (like the Seals screen for earning seals). I just want something to help guide me through all the tasks so I don’t forget to do something.

Is there a point in updating to 8.2 if not interested in the Buccaneer offer?

:thinking: :vulcan_salute:

This! Soooooooo many players would find this helpful. And it would actually incent players to play more if you offered even a small reward if all daily tasks are completed. Win win!

The update didn’t seem interesting even on paper, but it came out to be even less exciting. There was one thing I’ve been waiting for: adding a legendary troop to the pvp shop. But they even failed to do this long ago promised thing. OK, I’ll have to see the new weekly goals to make a final conclusion.

I’ve been playing GoW for almost 5 years. And I’ve seen lots and lots of updates. But this one seems to be developed and released by people not knowing anything about my favourite game: extra clicks, ridiculous prices for new offers… What was the point of wasting time and money on developing the latter, if no-one is going to buy them?

Why don’t you finally listen to your playerbase? And I don’t mean those who demand adding books of deeds into the log-in calendar, or a new empowered insta-kill troop. There are so many forum members who provide detailed analysys on every aspect. They will certainly be more useful than whose who came up with the idea “25 burning marks only for $5”

THIS. Such a huge lost opportunity… :frowning:

I looked at the daily screen a little bit more - has anyone checked the new screen for legibility?

WHITE text on a gradient yellow background?
The extremely tiny font?
There’s some much free space on this screen - why, why, WHY?

Why do you hate your players and their eyes so much? :frowning: I don’t need reading glasses (yet), but I’ve got astigmatism, and I can barely read it on my phone, because the letters are so tiny that they seem to overlap.

Make the offers 49 cents and they might be worth considering. Some at least.

But whoever came up with this: how out of touch were you on a scale of 1 to 10? Surely not even whales will buy this. Right?

Very small font! The buttons are so far apart… :face_with_monocle: :sob:

I managed to softlock this new menu already
It also painful to get thru different dailies - once fight is over, you get to the first daily task instead of the one you played

Oh no! Which platform are you playing on and what was the last thing you selected/did before the soft lock?


My first one, but I will pass… I already have over 300 :laughing:
