Since we all enjoy the Lycanthropy gem, a heroic purple gem, so much, here are some ideas how the game could move forward in the same spirit:
The Chill gem, a heroic blue gem.
Effect: When destroyed by your team, it slows down board speed of AI turns by one extra notch (e.g. from 4x to 3x, capped at 0.25x speed). When destroyed by the AI team, it slows down board speed of your turns by one extra notch.
Notes: Players benefit in both cases, they get to enjoy either their moves or the AI moves in much more detail.
The Rebirth gem, a heroic green gem.
Effect: When destroyed by your team, it resets the battle to the very start, your team gets the first move. When matched by the AI team, it also resets the battle to the very start, the AI team gets the first move.
Notes: This adds a thrilling level of strategy to the game. Do you dare to ignore Rebirth gems in hopes that the AI wonāt destroy them and get a head start on you? Or do you rather restart the match yourself right away?
The Charity gem, a heroic yellow gem.
Effect: When destroyed by your team, it resets collected battle resource (gold, souls, maps) of the AI team to 0. When destroyed by the AI team, it resets collected battle resources of your team to 0.
Notes: You also get a Flash Offer for gold, souls and maps (as a combined bundle) after each battle.
The Earthquake gem, a heroic brown gem.
Effect: When destroyed by your team it, jumbles the whole opponent team. When destroyed by the AI team, it jumbles your whole team.
Notes: Everybody loved pure level 500 faction runs in The Labyrinth jumbling your teams around, especially in the final boss room. Itās time to bring the fun to all other areas to the game.
The Ragequit gem, a heroic red gem.
Effect: When destroyed by your team, Luther pops up and quotes a random game guide. When destroyed by the AI team, Luther pops up and walks you through a random tutorial youāve already completed.
Notes: Players will finally learn enough about the game that bug reports donāt have be labeled as āNot a bug, works as designedā all the time.
You forgot to list all the bugs. Oh wait, Iām sorry, the QoL issues.
Chill gem: When matching two of these, the 0.25x speed cap is removed and the speed is 0. A game restart is needed to resolve this.
Rebirth gem: When a battle restarts, enemy troops keep their buffs.
Charity gem: If thereās a raven or gnome, they will not drop sigils or gnome rewards, as that battle resource was intended to be reset to zero.
Earthquake gem: When a team with duplicate troops are jumbled, the duplicate troop dies.
Ragequit gem: Tutorials can be from any game platform. If you encounter a tutorial from a different platform (example: mobile when youāre on switch), the game crashes.
Youāve been asking and weāve been listening! Your most requested feature is finally coming to Gems of War!
Patch 6.0 is introducing a new gem type in addition to our regular colour gems, stone blocks, lycanthropy gems, potion gems, wildcard gems, uber doomskull gems, super gemmy gems, crash-your-game gems and instant retreat gems.
Get ready for flash offer gems!
Thatās right, match any 3 flash offer gems and the game will return you to the world map and generate a very reasonably priced exclusive flash offer tailor made for your account*Ā¹!
Match 4 or more flash offer gems and get an additional 10% off!*Ā²
Destroy or explode flash offer gems in a W shape to generate a weapon offer!*Ā³
*Ā¹ Offers generated by flash offer gems may not actually be tailor made for your account, this is by design.
*Ā² Combining more than 3 gems may cause the game to pause for 5 minutes, this is by design.
*Ā³ Shapes other than straight lines may return players to their operating systemās desktop, this is by design.
i realy like Earthquake gem. sounds like these should spawn obligatory during each GW week.
Ragequit - meh
Rebirth gem could give a random troop ārebirth effectā, which would trigger on units death and make it respawn with lvl equal to itās magic (sunbird theme). that would definately be annoying and prolog battles, could also be lifesaver in delvesā¦
This is a good example of subtext. Weāre really talking about lycanthropy gems through this veil of humor. I was exploring and those gems gave me an unpleasant experience. Please tell me their prevalence will not go up over the campaign. Imagine a storm that does lycanthropy gems. How awful could that be? An endless match until you rage quit. Things could be worse.
Because members ālateā to the party often donāt read all the posts and pick up on the Subtext. Especially when blocked by text walls from Word Salad Man.
Please, i say Again, Do NOT implement Any of these without first consulting thru a community Ambassador (i.e., someone other than Word Salad Manā¦he has enough to do on his plate. (I hate salad)ā¦
Word Salad Man thought he was Strong Enough to do Explores on Lvl 12ā¦Vlad the Unsated; the Elf / Mystic with the Cleanse, Barrier, and Skull spam (Dark Priestess, had to look her up); Werewolves and Villagers and Lycans? Oh my,ā¦0 for 2.
Never get off the boat. Bad things happenā¦May i change my vote please? Ragequit a battle? Yes. Please donāt ever Ragequit gems. We need a stronger community, not a weaker one.
If there are more of these gems incoming over the campaign, that means any team that uses exploders (like almost all FAST/SPEED teams) will be slowed down even more. I mean you canāt explode/destroy the board with the likes of Thrall, Leprechaun, Angry Mob, Marilith and co if just 1 of the damn things are on. Imagine 6.
Background: GoM became GoW in 2016, when it randomised the orientation of the āMā. QA accidentally came across this āissueā recently, and decided to incorporate Heroic Gems to better reflect the gameās original name.
Effect: next time you touch your screen, all troops on both sides become Mongo; failure to touch the screen will result in the effect happening twice. All gems are transformed into GoM gems until the end of the match. There are reports of some kingdoms being turned into Mongo: please note that this is by design and working as intended.
Note: the GoM gem is matched with any other colours, even if said colours are distinct among themselves. By the time youāre done reading this, you may already have become Mongo.
Hopefully you will never work for 505ā¦
