Could always change it to enforce keep colored + restriction defenders at all buildings in the keep.
Or ban a color for each map - no red troops allowed to defend on the green map, no yellow in purple etc
I think I said it after the first GWs, they should really randomize the defense restrictions in each colored area (but the same restrictions for all guilds) after each GWs so there is some decision making to be had..

Your comments are all spot on except the part about it working perfectly before. There were a lot of better features for guilds to manage the event but there were still tons of other issues. It was a broken mess on old technology that needed replacing - justā¦ not like this.

This is my favorite QOTD so far. Nicely done.
Personally I contacted 505 games to complain about the non serious of this development and not to take the community into consideration.
I think itās pointless if itās just one person doing it, but I hope theyāll pay some attention to it.

I was a bit addicted to the old GW, always had to jump in just before Monday reset to take screenshots of all the stats possible and later move them to excel and share them with guildies on chat even though they didnāt care about them as much as I did.
So the good news is that as I totally missed the last GW it felt likeā¦ nothingā¦
So that must be how I feel about it in itās current state.
It has nothing for me.

My guild is trying to prepare for the upcoming GW and has questions about the Dwarf restriction. It would obviously require the troops to be dwarf, but what about a weapon? I can think of only 3 possibilities:
- no weapon - all 4 dwarves;
- weapon becomes dwarf by class;
- weapon unrestricted.
Anybody know?

Pretty sure itāll be 3, since thatās how PvP works.

I just donāt see how dwarves are going to be anything but an exercise in frustration. How are they supposed to kill anything more dangerous than a tutorial team, hide in a cave and wait for them to die? I guess it would be fun to watch attackers flailing around inefficiently from defender perspective, unfortunately that functionality doesnāt exist and probably isnāt even planned.
Strategies:
- Wait for some P2W McGuffin to drop to make this remotely viable, grit your teeth and pay up.
- Play Ruby Macaque + 3 spear carriers, to cheer the hero along.
- Play 3 Dwarven Slayer + some summoning weapon, to hopefully get some useful non-dwarf troops into your team once spots free up.
- Play 5 gate battles and call it a day.
Itās kind of difficult to imagine a restriction even more suited to make players wish they would be playing some other game instead. This sure feels like someone is still miffed in regards to the shiny key incident and decided to dish out collective punishment this way.

Donāt be too harsh on Dwarves! They do have 50% start and really good skull converters. It will be interesting.

I mentioned this in another thread, but Apothecary will keep you safe and can loop pretty reliably with Elementalist and dust storm. And being able to use any weapon gives a lot of flexibility. Dwarves are strong enough so that you should be able to get Apothecary up, find some 4+ matches, disable the enemy team, and then just obliterate the opposition.
I feel that if you lose with the teams I am thinking of, you just have a really bad start or just get unlucky. Thatās honestly how a lot of this game feels now, and you just have to learn to move on and not get upset over it.

Good point. Apothecary was used a lot in the old GW too.

Is it really that hard to incorporate a n inner guild leaderboard?? It should have been in the last patch. This is an absolutely shoddy version of itās predecessor.

Can we get a hold on guild wars until we can kick deadbeat players who joined guild after 8.5 update please, since devs havenāt been able to fix that issue yet?

In 8.7, so far it looks like we will be updating the Guild Wars permissions for Guild members.
From Rank 1-3 to only Rank 1 & 2.

Lol at DWARF restrictions facing meta teams.
Yo devs. The ai should be restricted to what we use.
We will get Stryx/Suncrest next Guild Wars, so I think theyāre trying to make it hard for us. Taloca is getting shiny levels, which suggests the upcoming restriction for guild wars.
Thereās no way they would let us use Elementals, Naga, or Dragons. Theyāre on such a roll, that I am expecting Monster or some other terrible troop type that we have to use while they just laugh at us, trying to beat the most powerful troops with scrappy teams.

Hard agree. I used to think GW was decent fun, but this is justā¦ frustrating and boring.
