I was just saying the game is obviously mentally taxing on you right now. Maybe you should try playing another game and come back when you calm down. You should never let a game get to you. After all it’s just a video game. Seriously, who cares? ---

Not at all: I still do my dailies, run my guild, and enjoy the eventual Mythic pull/crafting. Being passionate (like so many in this forum) about what the game could be, and/or seeing it what it has become vs what it used to be, is merely a byproduct of how much we love(d) GoW. Haven’t yet lost any sleep over the devs’ actions/inactions. 😛 🙏 🖖 ---

My post wasn’t meant to tell him to stop complaining and shut up. It Just really looks like he’s about to have a meltdown. He can post whatever he wants. I was just pointing out that he really doesn’t need to take this game that seriously especially if he feels antagonized by the moderators here in this forum. ---

@AMT Fundamentally, restricting weapons can and should be done as it precludes using Mang for everything. The purpose of restrictions is to force use of troops/weapons that would otherwise never be used (and also to increase difficulty, of course). The problem is when the majority of troops and weapons from a given kingdom or are not restricted are completely useless even when not combined with other completely useless troops, but this is an balancing issue where few units are worthwhile and not because restrictions are intrinsically bad. As is, weapon restrictions are very, very bad but only due to the failure to create more than ten weapons\* in the entire game that have any merit. \*This is an exaggeration but hardly an outrageous one. Grosh-Nak has three weapons worth using and Spiked Mace’s utility is questionable. Class restrictions would also be nice because it would force us to use classes we otherwise never would and prevents using Titan for everything even if this would greatly increase event difficulty. ---

Why stop a player from using Mang for everything if that is what s/he prefers? Or the class of their choice? ‘Forcing’ players to use content instead of making content players _want_ to use seems misguided for something that should be aimed at user enjoyment (i.e. a game app). Agreed that the poor design/variety exacerbates the issue: just imagine if the same weapon limitation applied to Delves (which may arguably be the poorest section from a design perspective). Pure faction teams are the epitome of how ‘enjoyable’ things get through adding limitations. Given the status quo of what is ‘usable’ and what isn’t, a smarter approach would have been to lock one thing (weapon type/color/kingdom, troop type/color/kingdom) and allow us to build around that: instead, by restricting everything, they have effectively made a week-long class event (which are known to be among the least popular). 🤦‍♂️ 🖖 ---

> [@AMT](#): > > Why stop a player from using Mang for everything if that is what s/he prefers? Or the class of their choice? But this applies to literally any event restriction. I do agree that stringent restrictions are… less fun. Class trials are especially guilty of this. But I really like TOD restrictions because they encourage a lot of teams that would not be used otherwise but do not restrict to the point that teams are built from the five usable troops available. The fundamental problem again is that the vast majority of content is useless, but the devs have established they have no interest in addressing this problem and their occasional problems are more laughable than effective. See Tian Yi’s buff. ---

> [@HounganAtLarge](#): > > The day I can’t bring Trickster’s Shot to Bounty is the day I stop playing it. The devs have said nothing about existing event types having further restrictions added. That said, bountyhunter probably should restrict to bountyhunter troops since that would make sense conceptually. Corollary is that it’s what you were going to do anyway and it would be really bad for new players. ---

I’ve never seen the need to use a non bounty troop to get to level 20. Having said that I only ever buy 1 copy of the new bounty troop for collection purposes and then never use it due to its lack of ascension compared with previous troops. ---
