Either the new patch removed the ability to ascend all troops at once or the layout is to cumbersome for the average player to figure out. Either way it needs to be readded or fixed.

They stated they removed it and plan to add it back later. Seems like a terrible way to do things, but thatās often true in this game.

Where did you find this stated? Iāve been looking all over but havenāt yet found mention of putting it backā¦

It was mentioned in the patch notes. I donāt believe it was intentional, and was just missed while going through the UI changes.

As in, they forgot to include it in the new design, or they accidentally cut some code and didnāt realise? I get you might not be able to tell us much, but it still seems wild that something like that just gets āmissedā in any form, when itās been part of the game so long. Especially when so many of us are actively crying out for them to add the same feature elsewhere. We want to be able to ascend all pets, for example, and now we canāt even ascend all troops. For now. Hopefully.

And you want us to pretend that they play their own game and understand it like we do?
Riiiiiiiightā¦
I know some low level players because I am trying to help them with all the complexity of the game and even they would never make changes like that for no reason.

To be fair, I donāt recall this being stated since the old mods left, so it could be part of that era of ātruthā that we experienced in the forum.
I must however agree that thereās a huge gap between the design direction, and what the players in my guild would like to see as an incentive to support the game financially..

For me itās not really clear whats the problem on bringing back this feature. Im missing it daily. And to bring it back is only a decision on where to place the button. The function to call exists allready, cause it was there before UI redesign. Was the developers has to do is to place a button and connect it with a function already exists, that canāt be that hard that it canāt being done, thats really no rocket since.

Iām looking at the number of troops I have available to Ascend, and wondering whatever happened with this feature request. As far as I can tell the Ascend All button was never added back in after the UI update. Is there any chance we might see this return in 9.3?
As mentioned, anything not included in the patch notes has not been resolved. Unclear if it will be in 9.4 either at the moment.
Thanks for the quick reply. Hereās hoping we can get it into 9.4ā¦itās a minor thing for an endgame player who already has most everything ascended, but for a new player thatās still collecting copies, it can be a serious chore.

Based on the title edit yesterday. It looks like Ascend all button will be added back in update 9.5

Well, thatās good, but itās ridiculous it took so long. It was apparently an accident to remove it and should have been a priority to undo that in the next patch. Not several patches later.

Anything that breaks but doesnāt clearly make 505 Games more money or potentially more money takes months if not years to fix.
What is ridiculous is itās going to take 5 years (if ever) to fix mobile notifications. Which clearly analytics shows that folks play your game more if reminded by the game to play more. More people play, the more potential money.
But 505 games doesnāt feel itās lucrative to pay an outside client to do the notifications for them. Instead they expect their 2 person dev team to do it instead. Same team that takes months to fix the ascend all button.
Gems of War was a huge success. Puzzle Quest 3 was a huge flop. And now Gems of War budget is ridiculously low in hopes of offsetting the losses.
