@Luther you should submit the tooltip to the [“Win console” GoW Contest](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/gems-of-war-competition-win-a-custom-ps4/24134), i think you would get quite surprisingly high amount of votes ---

@Annaerith you are too kind 🙂 i just wish they really implemented them, so one shouldn’t have to search around for answers 😛 Also not in the States, and not exactly a lover of consoles 😉 ---

im in europe and it counts 🙂 read more carefully its for more then just USA 😉 im also not a lover of consoles but there are other rewards too xD but you would have to read rules carefully as they require 100% of the content to be 100% original 🙂 but honestly i think if someone put it thereit might motivate devs enough to actually give us more clear insight on how gw works! (so even if you dont win or be disqualified you could become a hero) ---

Just three more chapters and I’ll be done with my first novel, The Internet President: None of the Above. Book summary: James Wong built a billion dollar software company with his childhood friend, Maria Cortez. He had everything, until an ultra-rich investor stole control of his company with a shady contract. How do you fight the rich and powerful? In a video game, he’d use a power up to defeat the villain. James finds the ultimate power up: become president. Even my book has game references. More than once the word devour made it’s way into the book. Gee, I wonder where that word came from. 😀 Especially in guild wars, or on beast weeks, devour is a word that comes to mind quite a bit! None Of The Above Unrepentant ---

I’m a PC gamer, but this got me interested in a console game. Damn! If I knew it was going to be that amazing I would have bought the employee discount VR bundle. If you hold out your controller it looks like a weapon and you can look around. It’s very immersive. It was cool seeing the aliens splat. It’s feels like being in starship trooper for me. Granted I didn’t play long, but it left a very strong impression. ---

> [@PGSundling](#): > > Unrepentant will visit bracket 1 this week, but I’m assuming we’ll drop back to bracket 2 however we perform. Hoping you are able to do well and stay in bracket 1. Partly since you’re a nice guy, but mostly because Unrepentant and Hoguns seem joined at the hip for bracket movement 😇 ---

Too bad answering the questions we asked weeks ago doesn’t happen as quickly. We’ve been left in the dark for a while, and some of us still want to know if the GW brackets are something competitive or arbitrary and out of out control. Further, Nim’s recent comments now seem to indicate that not only is it unfair, but purchasing sentinels actually affects the score (P2W). It’s been said repeatedly by many, but the method you’ve chosen to prevent exploits also prevents strategy and faith in the results. Is this current uncertainty and mistrust of the system the final desired result? ---

> [@beanie42](#): > > Further, Nim’s recent comments now seem to indicate that not only is it unfair, but purchasing sentinels actually affects the score (P2W). She was trying to clarify Guild bracket movement down is not influenced by Sentinels. But as I recall it was weirdly worded, and one could walk away interpreting it helps bracket movement up. I personally don’t think that was the her meaning, but it was vague. ---

@Saltypatra Since my posts got removed, I have no plans to file any more support tickets. I’ll share the bug on the support forums, so other people can see an answer, if I get one. If I didn’t already have so much invested in this game I would have quit last night. I look forward to the day I can shake my addiction to this game.I’m sure in the end Guild Wars will be my escape out of it. I’m already considering leaving my guild for a sister guild that is Guild Wars optional. Unfortunately, there’s already a waiting list. ---

Hogans and Unrepentant earned their way into bracket 1 **again** for last week. We ended #5 Hoguns and #6 Unrepentant. This is the same exact scenario where we dropped to bracket 2 last time, except our two team switched position. I hope they secretly fixed their algorithm without admitting fault. Guess we’ll find out later. Place you’re bets. What bracket will #6 Unrepentant be in this new week? _Poll ([view on site](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/how-are-brackets-decided-bug/24157/67))_ What bracket will #5 Hogans be in this new week? _Poll ([view on site](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/how-are-brackets-decided-bug/24157/67))_ 2 weeks ago, I would have thought the answer to both questions is obvious. Now, it could really go either way. ---
