Hey all, Welcome to the new Balancing & Changes thread. In the future when any changes are released that aren’t included in an update or don’t quite fit within the patch notes, a team member will be sharing them here. Any issues that arise from a change should still have their own Bug Report thread, as this will be a continually updated thread over time. Which is why this thread is closed for comments ✨ ---

**Friday 23rd May** [Guild Wars Leaderboards](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/reported-guild-wars-leaderboard/87781/17) showing incorrect placement. An issue with Guilds being given a positive ELO score when they should not have. Aiming to release a fix for this before reset, so everyone can get their intended and correct bonuses after the first day of Guild Wars and have their correct placement. Will try to update once it is live. ---

**Noted for 8.7** - Guild Rank 3 will no longer have Guild Wars permissions - This will move to just Rank 1 & 2 Once that changes, Rank 3 & 4 will be the same. We plan on updating Rank 3 at some point in the future, so there is a difference between Rank 3 & 4, but there is no ETA on when that would be implemented. The full removal of the rank, changing it from 5 ranks to 4, is not something we are considering. In the meantime, if you do not want Rank 3 members changing your Keep or Opting out, demote them to Rank 4 until this is changed. ---

**July 4th** - Updated Gems of War forum sign up settings for **new users** are now required input their invite code. - Updated Forum profile Settings, so player invite codes are not displayed publicly **I plan to adjust this in the near future, so all existing forum members will be prompted to add their invite code to their profile before gaining access to the forum again.** This is to speed up the reporting process of issues on the forum, by removing the need for us to ask for invite codes as they will be visible on your profile to only the devs/admin team. ---
