**Platform, device version and operating system:**
_Playstation_
**Screenshot or image:**
_n/a, didn’t take screenshot before patch_
**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**
_Some troops lost their elite level after patch. E.g. Pharao Khafru now silver and Zarg Boomtile now bronce, both were gold before._
**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**
_Definitely aproved today, wondered about some troops directly after patch while leveling kingdoms._
_My husband, some guild mates and friend player from different guilds have that issue too._
_First we discussed it happened to player with mulitple accounts with one IP but some single IP player have lost elite level too._
**Steps to make it happen again**
_Open troop list and check silver and bronce troops that were gold before._

Can you think of any troops you upgraded their elite level in the past 30 days, so I can check your logs for it, to compare to their elite level now?

If i was you. Id check the main. Astral spire nodes.
Before update only purple stopped enemy gem creation.
Now green does it to. Same node.
But its definately different.

That’s unrelated to this thread and should be it’s own report if there isn’t one already.

No sorry. And the two mentioned mythics were incorrect. I know i medalled tempestus. But this one is ok. The only reference i can use is the now frozen gemologica site (showing 9 bronze).

I have the same issue. Most of my cards have changed color to Silver or Bronze, but their levels haven’t changed.
