I know that’s what it says right now and has for a while, but are we certain that this isn’t simply a placeholder for whatever it’s really going to be? Similar to how spoiler sites like the Taranium have ā€œfillerā€ data for when we know certain things about troops but not certain other things – e.g., every troop whose colors are undefined gets listed as ā€œredā€, every troop whose mana cost is unknown gets set to ā€œ3ā€, and so on?

A Guild Wars with a restriction of ā€œRedā€ would be a lot easier for us players than most of what we’ve seen under the new paradigm. But I’m very skeptical that this is the case because it would seem so out-of-character for these developers. (At least to me.)

There is one critical change missing that makes or breaks Guild Wars. As long as the individual rewards are based on battles won instead of battles played, next to nobody will dare to progress towards the palace. Whoever currently loses more than 2 out of 20 battles forfeits the shiny tokens. For F2P it’s the only realistic chance to ever obtain them, pulling 5 of them from shiny keys for level 1 takes years, even for highly active players.

Jeto. Has confirmed it’s Red next GWs.

It stops the moaning about restrictions for a month.

Then October we can hopefully go back to kingdom restriction.

So still no in guild leaderboard of the war scores in whole? It’s almost the only thing that makes gw fun, friendly little race with your guildies…. And now I’m almost at the point where I have to choose between gw and the pvp legendary troop, because if I recall that also needs silver marks. I just hate pvp and you are forcing it more and more… I used to love gw and I’ve also always hated PvP and now for some odd reason those got married….

It’s also what’s needed to track down non-participators… Are we understanding correctly that we’ll have to wait longer for this information to be visible? :sob:

Another UI change nobody asked for. Whoever decided to change the existing modern simple font into this old looking stupid wizardry font should be banned from every UI overhaul and immediately send with his crayons back to a kindergarten wall. Once there was this old look 10 years ago and it was changed over the years to a more modern style just to going back again to this old bards tale design…what is wrong with you? Go on further killing your identity and loose even more long-term players. :man_facepalming:t2:

8.8 is releasing for all platforms today except Switch, which is still being processed by Nintendo.

Unfortunately, they are the slowest platform, and it’s out of our hands to get it resolved faster.

I’ll post an update once the Switch update is released- I can’t imagine it would be much later than next week :crossed_fingers:

Just got the update.. I don’t know what I was expecting, but big, blocky, and all caps definitely wasn’t it. I’d love to opt out of this new UI font and go back to the previous update.

I’ll be interested to see what people think of the guild guardian boosts.

To me, it seems like a completely pointless feature. The guardian activates some kind of beneficial effect on turn 15 or something, but in anything even remotely resembling high level play, almost every match is won or lost on the first turn or two. You can imagine a scenario where you stall out and you’re both slugging each other’s last remaining troop for 10 turns, but will that happen often enough to be worth buffing?

Raw stats on your AI gate team also seems pointless, as those teams are terrible and pose no threat to high level guilds. It does completely wall newbies from the game mode, which is something I guess.

I realize that this sounds really negative, but I actually don’t care about the feature at all so I’m not bothered by it. I’m just interested in why it exists in this form.

3 boosts become 1 blessing which gives ALL your teammates +1 stat in ATTACK, so up to +45 stats (~+10 to all) may be a big deal. As for boosts utself - it may be a barrier for very low level players

Just get an update on android and eww.. Big titles with a diablo-like style are same-same, but lte lesser one barelly readable

Right, but the stat boosts could have just been the thing we buy directly like in old GWs, without the guardian stuff attached.

I don’t know, maybe it’ll be useful to some people.

I think it’s time to forget about old GW and let it rest in peace) We have guardians here and some mechanic to make their efficiency slightly above zero - as to me it looks organic

What in the actual hell were they thinking with this new font? It’s 2025; customization in video games is greater than ever. if you want to change the aesthetic of the font add it as an option, don’t just force one on us.

I actually kind of dig the new font. Feels more medieval-y.
