GW delayed two weeks for change, and gw can’t change on console without a patch… ---

Console got screwed… Unless they’ve already implemented the planned changes to pc mobile into the console patch. If not I’m going to be really pissed off. We get a bum deal too often imo. ---

I hope you’re right. I just have a bad feeling they’re not going to be able to without a patch, which is still probably at least 6 weeks out. ---

I personally don’t approve/agree with saltypeppers comments about moving GW to once a month. I’m sure they can do that without a patch on console. Heck, They just ‘paused’ it so skipping every 3 weeks should be easy. ---

I like many console players are concerned that the format or calculations system may be changed in a way that would require a client update as on console they are not able to do as much dynamically. A client update is fine but history has shown the approval process with Microsoft and Sony is a rigorous one. This is not fault of the developers, but an annoyance as if one rejected the update they have to start over with both if I am not mistaken. ---

I really not that concerned about the whole thing, client patch or no patch on console. As I posted elsewhere I think changing the GW schedule to once a moth (or whatever) is effectively like changing the ballroom dancing schedule on the Titanic. They need to address the root problem. And there is no hints this is going to occur. For now its all speculation. ---

You know not all changes require a client update, right? They can change stuff that lives on servers. ---

It’s unlikely we would switch GWs to only once a month. Thanks for reassuring me😀. As an FYI, The root problem I spoke about is troop balance… (and not just exclusively Justice). I’m hoping you guys can implement something that can address balancing issues quickly in the future. For the happiness of everyone. ---

@Strat Are you shading me by calling me Saltypeppers? Because I have to say that is a great nickname and I’m not mad about it. As Nim said, we are discussing a variety of suggestions and options. ---

I definitely will. (Also I never said it would be moving to once a month? I’m confused?) ---

Today, we will be taking Guild Wars offline for at least two weeks. This will give players some time to rest and recharge, whilst also giving us an opportunity to review and tune Guild Wars. Over this two week period we will decide how to move forward with Guild Wars. This could mean changing the Guild Wars schedule to happen bi-weekly, monthly, or even alter the way Guild Wars is fought and run. Although Guild Wars has be… ---

I said it might change, not that it would change. That’s why I was confused, your comments earlier made it seem like I had jumped in somewhere and was all “GUILD WARS WILL BE ONCE A MONTH I AM DRUNK WITH POWER.” 😛 ---

@Nimhain Answer this one simple question that you keep avoiding. What can you change on console gw without a patch. ---

If any changes occur in the next two weeks they will be server side fixes which mean they will affect both console and PC/Mobile. ---

And what is possible to change server side? Because I don’t think you can make significant changes to the console gw without a patch, therefore no reason to cancel console gw because it won’t be changed in 2 weeks when it comes back. ---

We can change a lot of things server side. ---

If you and @Nimhain tell us console players what can be adjusted server side, we can concentrate the change discussion on what doesn’t require a patch. [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/console-need-patch-for-gw-changes/27566.md?page=2)
