@einsteinle unfortunately we were not the original creators of the console version of Gems of War. We took over the console version of the game during December 2016, and prior to this we didn’t have control over the weapons that were made available. Consoles have been in sync with PC/Mobile since November 2017.
If you can provide us a concrete example of how this has impacted your ability to progress in the game, we will rectify this issue the next time said affected kingdom comes around. Please note that we need an example of how missing out on one of these glory weapons has impacted your ability to level a kingdom, and how this lack has prevented you from progressing within the game, not from completing a collection. Once we have received one and have looked into this further, we are willing to do whatever we can to address this issue.
On a separate note, I wanted to add that no specific weapon is required to gain kingdom power. You can choose which weapon you would like to upgrade in order to advance your kingdom power, and more weapons are being added to the game on a regular basis. A player will not need to purchase a weapon to attain higher kingdom power levels.
HOWEVER, this comes with a very small caveat, which is Sin of Maraj.
Sin of Maraj needs 3 weapons to get to Power Level 8, and only has 4 released weapons at this time. One of these is easily available with Mastery, and 2 others will be craftable during the next Sin of Maraj event.
To further help with the lack of weapon availability for Sin of Maraj, we have decided to do some shuffling in our schedule and bring forward the release of our community designed weapon, which is a scythe from the aforementioned kingdom. To get beyond Power Level 8 in Sin of Maraj, more troops are required, which have yet to be released, so weapons won’t contribute to a hold up in kingdom level past this point.
