*While events are scheduled in advance, sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances the events may be swapped or changed last minute. So please be aware that when the schedule is shared, it is also subject to change.
Reminder: We have an article that covers what each of these different icons are, for the various events in Gems of War. As well as links further to a list of the Class, Faction and Kingdom shields!
It’s good news and everything, but it’s just going to be more things to do and more stress on top of an already taxing laundry list of events that we have to do. At some point, the daily grind just becomes too much, and I will probably see how it feels and then take a break from all of this…
I thought they promised to make this not pay to win?
The Four Pillars
Real gritty PvP – no pay-to-win. This was our number one consideration. We – much like you – want Guild Wars to feature the fairest fighting possible. If there is anything for sale as part of a Guild Wars event, it will simply be for personal advancement of your account, outside of the Guild War.
That’s what I’m worried about. I’m hoping that only the rewards from Guild Wars are monetized. If they add monolith type of effects or other “boosters” to give paying players an advantage, then I will just collect troops and weapons, experiment with some things and drastically reduce my playtime.
There are so many other “pay-to-win” options in this game, and we just want a fair, competitive environment that is subject to some bad luck.
Are you guys going to fix the 3 guild war achievements on PlayStation when you release the new mode? If the mode has changed, something needs to be altered so that we can still earn the old ones. I’m only missing the 3 guild wars achievements and the god awful Hoard Mimic so I’m hoping you will have these fixed on release so we can earn them if we weren’t able to over a year ago.
