I was curious why DP wasn’t nerfed… ![Screenshot_20180827-085858](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/4/3/43e17118c42191da1d8e08beaf35530279ba420f.jpeg) I am no longer curious now. 😀 ---

What if you shelled out the $49.99 to get Ishbaala? Crediting my PP account? Sweet. ---

For me personally, the biggest nerf seems to be removal of cleanse. Ishbaala was a perfect skull spammer…not anymore. Also, after using around 300 event keys I end up with 141 mythic Gluttony…and seeing how other people experience the same one must suspect something’s not right with droprates. ---

So I guess I have finally the answer about the Raid boss and Invasion weapons. They were supposed to come back periodically in the Soulforge (as Sirrian said 6 months ago in the Panda express official thread) but looks like they landed in the 5$ Forge. ---

> [@Saltypatra](#): > > Yes, in that case this is intentional. You get copies of the quest giver. 🙂 I agree with others, Luther is the quest giver but he is not from this kingdom. An event of killing enemies in both PVP and Explore would make more sense with Pride as our reward. ---

Well, they already have confirmed that we are getting copies of the quest giver. It’s not more juice to get out of the grape I think… Or? ---

> [@Eika](#): > > Or? They opted, or didn’t thought about/cared enough, and now we have an odd event. It’s a minor issue that they could correct in a few minutes i’m sure. But here we are, hours have passed and thanks to the timezones i can imagine the devs wouldn’t change things by now (later) because players surely spent more event keys trying to get Pride… Anyway, i’m also annoyed by the requirement of fully upgrading a weapon from this Kingdom as we don’t have low rarity weapons for it, only legendary… An issue i predicted some time ago. ---

Ubasted is one of the few good mythical troops I got in the keys and you ruin it … arghhhhhhh … sometimes it makes you want to quit this game. ---

The troop is not ruined it is still very powerful. Like I said they had to rebalance the troop for the overall health of the game or Ubastet would become ridiculously over powered as the game evolves The devs made the right choice. ---

Meh. I don’t think the nerfs were necessary, but I don’t particularly care either way. I mostly remain disappointed that the game still doesn’t have any kind of inherent motivator for breaking up the meta (like an “infrequently used” bonus to defenders or whatnot). Trying to manually shift the meta by nerfs is boring. ---

> [@Razzagor](#): > > Anyway, i’m also annoyed by the requirement of fully upgrading a weapon from this Kingdom I am more than annoyed. The devs keep changing the rules to the game in the middle of playing it. Poor planning and decision making and to compensate they punish their small (and shrinking even more) player base. ---

To be fair their judgement probably is: “New or freshly-veteran players would certainly take a while to gather the troops and upgrade them before being close to five stars for any new kingdom. In the meantime they’ll eventually get some legendary ingots.” And it makes sense as they won’t be releasing new kingdoms as often now, only factions it seems. But personally it’s still annoying to spend 45 Legendary Ingots just for this… I’ll wait and see if by chance there are new weapons to be acquired on the Delve feature before commiting with such high investiment. ---

> [@Dust\_Angel](#): > > Also, after using around 300 event keys I end up with 141 mythic Gluttony…and seeing how other people experience the same one must suspect something’s not right with droprates. Let’s see, assuming gem chest drop rate distribution, the average amount of ultra-rare troops for 300 event keys is 300 \* 0.8 \* 0.84 = 201.6. There’s only ultra-rare troop in the pool, so the expected outcome is 202 Gluttony. You ended up with only 141 + 5 + 10 + 25 = 181 Gluttony. That looks like a crazy good luck streak, most players would be happy to swap. ---

Nice try dev but it won’t be enough to kill the meta lol the team is still very strong 😛 ---

Maybe we all , myself included, shouldn’t be dependent on the same team. This team will function the same. The cleanse is the only true nerf imo. ---

I am glad to see that the solution to a bad power creep issue was not more power creep. That is a great way to kill a game. Good move on balancing things out devs!!! ---

Now go to your troop collection and experience disappointment. They still have not fixed the glitch where if you open a large amount of keys it tells you that you received more than you really did. I opened a big batch of event keys as well and when I looked at my collection I was 1 legendary short than what it told me. In the past it’s been way worse than that though. ---

I would also like if we could refund ingots from devine protector. I mean is not only ishabalas fault. [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/hound-of-doom/44731.md?page=8) [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/hound-of-doom/44731.md?page=10)
