I asked about the instant death mechanics _last_ Q&A, right? (Won’t comment at all on the number of glaring UI or balance problems that should be _dealt with_ no questions asked…) ---

Any concrete plans on adding diamonds to treasure hunt rewards or just making treasure hunt more attractive in general? This game mode is, while fun at times, out of balance with the time invested and rewards gained. Anyway you look at it, treasure hunt is in need of a revamp. Same goes for arena on higher difficulties. For instance, would you consider rewarding one more glory key per difficulty in arena? The tiny bit of extra gold seems hardly worth it, even for early game players. ---

Can we get a counter for guild wars that shows all guild progress for all guilds on the weekly rankings page, like 900/900 battles done. ---

Lock GW defense teams and hide the name of the guilds until it starts to prevent colluding pls? Add a trait on a (Mythic maybe) that cleanse a random ally troop on 4 and 5 matches? These are more suggestions than questions lol but still… ---

It was once mentioned a weekly leader board for Treasure Hunt. Is treasure hunt still popular enough that a new form of treasure hunt competition through a leader board would exist? ---

Has there been any decision if the “Gold Troop” progression, where troops may get bonuses, status or bonus abilities, based on how much you’ve used them? ---

I’ve noticed that a lot of the questions put forth are to do with particle effects. I just replied concerning this issue in another thread, so thought I would also quote that answer here. > [@](#): > > Hey everyone, just jumping in to discuss some of the issues regarding the newly added particle effects. While we believe that our new particles are in line with other games in this and similar genres, we can appreciate that the change from a game with minimal visual effects to one that is much more modern and rich has reportedly caused a few problems for some players. It is one of our aims at Gems of War to make our game accessible to a wide range of players, and we will be looking into the particle effects as part of this goal. > > Firstly, thank you for bringing this to our attention. As I have mentioned in the past, three of us in the office are migraine sufferers and were not affected. However, we are aware that this is not the same for all people that experience migraines and motion sickness. As such, we are currently looking into ways to improve the negative side effects introducing the particles has caused a small portion of our playerbase. > > Unfortunately, there is no easy way to add a button that turns all of these effects off. If we did so the player would be unable to see the current status effects and damage dealt by or received by their troops. This means that we are unable to release a hot fix for this issue. We are looking into several ways to address the problem and viability of bringing them to the game as soon as we can. We have no current ETA on this fix as it will likely take a fair amount of planning, experimentation and coding to bring to fruition. > > This will be slowed down by the fact that Christmas is fast approaching and many of our team will be on holiday. There will still be some core members around during this time, but we will be running with less people that we usually do. > > Thank you for your patience as we work on addressing this issue. As we move forward we will inform you of the process and what changes we are planning on implementing. ---

Thank you for your extensive statement. In lights of this - and me being unable to play the game in its current state and, with no hotfix in sight, meaning I will be kicked from my guild - let me rephrase my question. _Is it possible to do a **temporary** rollback to the old effects so that the people now unable to play because of health issues can play again? That way, adjusted particle effects could be introduced at a later date without you losing any playerbase._ ---

Adding one more question: > [@Saltypatra](#): > > Unfortunately, there is no easy way to add a button that turns all of these effects off. If we did so the player would be unable to see the current status effects and damage dealt by or received by their troops. This means that we are unable to release a hot fix for this issue. _Can we have this **option** (as a chooseable button) - turning the particles, status effects and numbers - as a hotfix possibility? I would rather play with no numbers and status effects than not play at all._ ---

Can we please buy multiple event chests for glory (spoils of war) at a time? No volume discount even needed, but with greatly reduced event chest availability, it’s just unnecessarily tedious to have to buy them one at a time. ---

And without further ado, here are our top 10 (well, 11…) questions! As always, please join us on Stream to ask follow up questions, or something else entirely. Ps, our next Q & A Stream is tomorrow! - If and when we will see Crafting move further towards being targeted and less about RNG? - What you are going to do about Dawnbringer on defense in the arena? - Regarding the new UI update: I would like to know why changes mentioned on Stream/forum (like the placement of the key order in the chest window (gold keys furthest to the left) or the question mark displaying what stones can be found in explore exactly) didn’t happen in the end when they were suggested by the community. - Will you ever add a reminder for dungeons? - Is it possible to add an icon to show you have un-pillaged dungeons available? - Will we ever be able to see our previous choices when we are picking troops in arena? - Moa event was the most fun I have had in PvP in months will you be doing it again for christmas? - Are there any plans to rework the hero leveling system, hero masteries, and hero classes? - Any plans to remove the 50 gem hero class change cost? - Please talk about future plans regarding particle effects. - Can we get a counter for guild wars that shows all guild progress for all guilds on the weekly rankings page, like 900/900 battles done. ---
