Just try for yourself and check) I had no any monolith while making screens. In exp it’s shown +3 magic for a 4 purple troops (magic meister), but in pvp it’s +1 for magic meister and +2 for a citadel warrior. This is strange. ---

I’m in switch. Small screen. The new font is not readable. My eyes hurt. Please go back to the previous version. I beg. ---

@Jeto by any chance, would you happen to know when Holy Himalayan will start showing up in the Harper Menagerie Flash Offers? (I own every other non-PvP Immortal pet that can show up in Harpers, so for me it’s not an RNG thing) ---

It seems as though there has been a Ninja-change to the stats applied to Gnomes when using a GAP in PvP. Now team score gets applied to Gnome stats putting most Tier 3 battles out of 1-shot range even with a full magic monolith applied. ---

> [@Namour](#): > > It seems as though there has been a Ninja-change to the stats applied to Gnomes when using a GAP in PvP. Yes 100% this has changed. All gnomes are around 300-320HP, it’s a 50% boost minimum. ---

Hey guys we saw your feedback from the survey where you ranked pvp your least favorite not once but in two different categories. In order to help out we are going to make it even less enjoyable. Have fun! ---

> [@Namour](#): > > Now team score gets applied to Gnome stats This sounds like a bug that has appeared, rather than a change that has gone out without anyone being told (myself included). So once more of the team are around for the morning, I’ll follow up _But also, I would need to know what region, your team, was there a blood frenzy also active etc etc_ ---

Thanks for following up. It was in the Yellow blood frenzy region, Aidania. Previously, if you had high enough magic, and had monolith magic active it was possible to one-shot all Tier3 gnome opponent (yes, even in blood frenzy regions). However, since the patch this is rarely possible as gnome stats are being adjusted based on the team score of the opponent being replaced by the gnomes. So now if a T3 opponent team has a score above ~20,000….the stats of the gnome team which replaces it are much higher than they were previously. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/4/b/4b24c7dca077593d4cee1f4f6056a7912dc5d64a.jpeg) ---

It looks like something is boosting their stats since they are green. Have they suddenly started getting the blood frenzy bonus? Battle crashers didn’t get the blood frenzy bonus before. ---

RE: Gnoms in PvP + GAP boosted ~~So, as I thought, it is likely a bug caused by another bug being fixed. Just waiting for an update from the team, though~~ I may have jumped the gun with that.. imma stop posting till I know exactly what is going on 🤦 ---

Hopefully you guys can fix this for the next vault event as this one has been ruined. ---

When viewing defense teams in your guild, the team power score is displayed incorrectly. This is due to the troops and weapons not being upgraded. Hopefully, this is just a visual error and will not affect the actual defense in the guild war. ---

@Jeto -apologies if this has already been captured. One of the pieces of data that I am really missing this week is being able to know how many people in the guild, both ours and our opponent’s, have played today, in real time. I’m pestering people to play when possibly everyone has already played. Likewise, if we’re ahead, and all of our opponents have already played, much less of a need to beg people to play tbeir battles. Also apologies if this is the wrong place, just wanted to capture it while I was thinking about it. I thought about it last month but forgot to ask you then if it is on the list anywhere. ---

The solution is to enter guild wars from the pvp map. It popped today after 1 battle. Or it could be that it pops after the 11th battle regardless.
