I’m the only one who is seeing that? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/b/d/bd7ac56f36b2fd9b9073710a6f4aa1bb55191667.jpg) Is it a false announcement? If no, when will it begin? 🙂 ---

Something to replace the Legends and Mythics that were removed from the forge! 😛 > [@Why the MAJOR STEALTH NERF to FORGE?](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/why-the-major-stealth-nerf-to-forge/33974): > > @Nimhain@Sirrian Isn’t this a downgrade of the Summoning Stones? I thought people were posting Legendary and Mythic troops they found with the Summon Stones before? Now we can only get common to epic? frowning Why didn’t you spend your time fixing the crafting Mythics with Diamonds? This would have been a much better use of time. We don’t need more commons!!! OH, I get it! This is another STEALTH NERF to prevent players from getting any good troops from the Forge!!! Wow! Very sad… ---

So PS4 are doing “12 deals of Christmas”, now GoW is too, and I’m sure I’ve seen it elsewhere too. As there seems to be some confusion, I’d like to point out that the 12 days of Christmas are the 12 days **AFTER** Christmas. This culminates in 12th night, which marks the end of the Christmas season. The period before Christmas is “advent”. ---

For once they’re not taking things away from us, rather giving us stuff. Please don’t do this 😅 ---

Shush your pedantry until after Christmas. Then ask the Devs to compensate for their oversight! ---

I’m expecting a big fat pile of Gems to make up for the massive nerf to our ability to earn them through gameplay coupled with the increase in ways to spend them. A mythic troop of our choice would be nice too! ---

I feel unworthy of this generous gift 🤣 (Seriously though, thanks, freebies are always nice, even if I’m very unlikely to ever use Mongo 😉 ) ---

> [@morenfin](#): > > Already had a Mongo. Didn’t unlock achievement. This gift did not do the achievement either. It was said in another thread that you need to get a new troops that you don’t have yet for the achievements for troops you already have to register. Thanks from me for the free Mongo as well! 🙂 Hope the particles get deactivated soon so that I can return to playing and working on leveling and traiting my troops, including the Mongo. ---

This means that to abide by the rules provided by the console manufacturers (who are a lot more strict compared to Steam or Google/Apple), a specific action must be performed to award the achievement.
