Is there anybody, just anybody at all, who thinks that the avatar from this bounty event looks good? Smashing a bunch of preexisting avatars into one picture and squeezing them until they fit (the pics are horribly stretched; did you not even bother to think about adjusting the ratio?). Is the game so close to death, that you can’t afford new graphics anymore? [Edit:] I see, it does not even match the avatar measurements in the chat. Did you do something to make your graphics designer hate you (like encouraging them to play the game)? ![bounty avatar](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/8/8/88b62e2072d528ddd071abd05884bef22e537805.jpeg) ---

It’s steganography, if you look at it the right way it shows three vaults, two of which have been crossed out. Apparently the graphics designer is already playing the game. 🤡 ---

I have a new class idea. Tell me to bugger off at any time, we need a bounty hunter class with traits for bounty hunting. So we can use our hero and not lose out on the bounty multiplier. Just a thought. Hope your days are bountiful… I’ll see myself out. ---

They posted a known issue about it in the Help Centre before reset, and it’s mentioned in the top post.

That’s great an all. No one said it wasn’t or that vault plus bounty at the same time this weekend was a good idea. Doesn’t negate the fact that not everyone watches it. I, for example, don’t care - but I still also think this weekend was a bad idea (or a\*hole design) with the events going on. ---

Thank you to Devs for saving the previous bounty team. I appreciate the effort made in making the game a tiny bit better. Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it. ---

I did end up playing one Bounty battle for the vault key at reward 5, but otherwise ignored it as Vault took priority. And until the offer system gets fixed (if it ever does), I’ve decided to boycott Arena entirely. [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/bounty-weekend-dead-parrot/78911.md?page=2)
