How are people liking this week's GW so far?

Worst GWs so far. Last one I finished 20/0. This one I finished 2/3 and 283 points after day 1. Also got crushed by a team I’ve already beaten before and lost to a Chrysantherax team in mere 2 seconds after my 1st turn missed and Chrys immediately got filled and refilled again. And I was done done done ….

Complete rubbish!

The Defence must have restrictions.

Silverglade week has been completely miserable for me and my guild.

Remove kingdom restrictions and just cycle through the 6 different colors each week. Easiest solution. Kingdom restrictions are not scaled properly against the likes of Chrysantherax, Takshaka, Malestrom, and other powerful options.

You could get out of a jam from elementalist with reflection of good and vanya soulmourn, but if you were relying on those strategies, you were probably in a tough place. Better than Blighted lands though.:rofl:

Like others have mentioned, power creep has altered the balance of GWs, and I honestly don’t know how to fix it. Limiting defenders to only being able to use one of each troop would kill the snake, but the flower apocalypse and the squid of the deep would still be just as powerful…

There is an Immortal Goblin on the horizon, which is probably going to be ridiculous. I’m guessing that it will create wish gems when its turn begins, plus a spell with an automatic extra turn that you won’t be able to stop. This is why I just laugh, drink, and wonder what the hell happened to this game…

Its been ok only 2 losses. One against chrys team. A 2 turn Wipeout the other a long drawn out looping and summoning goblin team. Miss the old gw but no point complaining too much. Like my deceased nan it isn’t coming back anytime soon

I’ve enjoyed it. I spent a long time building and testing silverglade teams. Practised a lot with my eventual choice in central spire.

It’s a good challenge, always was my favourite game mode.

I’d be happy if they disallowed multiple copies of troops in defence, but first they have to give us a decent way to test our defence teams.

Guild wars is making the game not fun anymore… There is NO Balance. My guild is ranked 23rd and the last 3 wars have been against 9th ranked - 12 ranked - and now 7th ranked. We have NO CHANCE to even compete against them. So we just have to eat a loss and have no hope to even get the rewards for winning any Wars.

Glad you are a minority opinion. Its not “challenging.” What you just described with the takshaka was luck. I too can beat them. But only when the board let’s me get them locked down before they cast.

Bring back color restrictions. This is artificial difficulty and its not fun. Kingdom restrictions are not scaled to go against the likes of takshaka.

Silverglade restriction is particularly difficult when facing triple Tak and EoE team. Plus the reported bug of not receiving guild rewards is affecting my guild.

I don’t like it at all.

Legitimately, my guild would have benefited more from me fighting at the gate 5 times today. I know it isn’t competitive play, but after the gate, I lost battles trying to play the mode properly.

At my level, fighting at the gate 5 times should not be the best strategy. Perhaps I was just too worn out today to think properly, so that explains my losses. Or, perhaps, I’m just not interested in trying to win battles when I know I can’t collect the rewards afterward.

Either way, it was frustrating to lose 4 times when I know I should be capable of doing far better. On the other hand, I’ve never ended up in a situation where fighting at the gate was legitimately the best place to get points. That either says something about SIlverglade or my play style being a poor combination with Silverglade’s troops. I think it’s a bit of both.

This was my worst Guild Wars so far. Part of that is on me, but I was going to have a season like this eventually. So, I can’t be critical without admitting some personal responsibility as well.

Still, I don’t understand why some kingdoms have to purposely be kept weaker than other kingdoms. Why not budget to give weaker kingdoms better options? How does the live service model prevent doing this? Oh, right. Ignoring player feedback is easier. My mistake. Carry on, please.

I agree there should be some way of matching teams that are ranked closer in team scores. We got high ranks as well and it was unfair, no fun and disappointing to be honest. PVP is the same way though. You can barely play because there are so many high ranked teams. I end up wasting a ton of gems trying to get to a team I can actually play. My team score is right at 12,000 but most teams are 18-20,000. It’s deflating and discouraging :disappointed_face:

Don’t waste gems. Just start any battle and immediately quit, if there’s not a battle option you like.
It takes a little longer, depending on what teams are in the battle (maybe 6 seconds) but it’s free. (It used to be like 2 seconds but an update a little while back made it so you can’t pause until your turn starts, making it slower to quit a bad battle.)
I know it tanks your win/loss ratio, but it has no effect in the game, so unless you care about it, it doesn’t make any difference.

Oh my goodness! Why didn’t I think of that? Thank you so very much!!! I appreciate you! That is so smart and I can’t believe I didn’t think of that myself.
