I’m not surprised at all. A week or two ago I posted something about Marketing missing the boat with both the Steam Summer sale and the Xbox Ultimate sale. (Sorry about the criticism).
Well someone should get a big pat on the back! as they added Gems of War to the Xbox ‘Deals with Gold’ this week and low and behold the very same day we starting experiencing huge server retry issues on Xbox. All this means is new players! And that’s good for everyone.
EDIT: AND the task rewards were adjusted, so Thanks!
