Imagine you’ve already played through the battle, but wanted to ask - Did you close the game after updating to 9.4? - Did you exit and go back into this explore before starting the battle and the opponent was the same? - Was it that same rarity/level in the battle? ---

I see the same/similar thing. I’ve not touched a delve in months. This is what I see when I go into today’s faction assault event: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/7/5/756d1b03f65e5ecccaccd9710df63a9d3fd10b03.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/7/c/7c8a58bf562b8ec5e08be9ec70766806500369ae.jpeg) ---

is it the same if you go into a different Faction? Or is it JUST for the weekly event faction specifically? ---

- Did you close the game after updating to 9.4? - Did you exit and go back into this explore before starting the battle and the opponent was the same? - Was it that same rarity/level in the battle? Xbox, closed the game before updating Delve: it’s giving our Treasure Hoard bonus for that faction to every team on the enemy side of the Delve event. Even moving to the next floor of the Faction event, the enemy teams still have our bonus. It’s happening to all delves, not just the event. ---

The update is live on Switch. And … yeah, the enemy team receiving Faction Hoard bonuses same as you definitely makes the Tuesday Faction Assault take MUCH longer than normal (fortunately in this case, I needed only one more battle to finish the event rewards). Also, is that a [musical change](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/reported-what-is-this-alternative-map-music/79551) I hear when starting the game? ---

Eldrazhor delve 500, I didn’t notice yesterday because I had already done everything before the update, but today it was impossible not to notice those extremely high statistics XD ![1000259537](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/9/e/9e5360447b4b017a89dd6cb6ab1175f9b4764e87.jpeg) ---

I cant believe its still not fixed its an entire section of the game made way harder by a bonehead mistake. Unplayable rn going on like what 2 whole weeks?.. if it was giving us some advantage it would be fixed in 2 days ---

Calling something a “Hotfix” and it not being here after basically two weeks is ridiculous. If a bug takes time to fix, that’s fine (even though this is such a devastating bug to everyone who can’t easily bust out Stellarix and friends), but then don’t promise a hotfix if you can’t roll one out in like 48 hours at most. That’s not a hotfix, not even a lukewarm-fix, that’s a “We’ll get to it eventually, maybe”-fix. ---
