Though the fine staff of Infinity Plus 2 is on vacation for the holidays. Their contractors (seemingly) are still hard at work this week carrying out their nerfing march orders.

Definitely wasn’t that way when 5.3 was first released. Was most likely ninja changed recently. I just noticed it tonight.

I imagine I’ll wake up tomorrow with a flaming turd on my doorstep courtesy of the design team from IP2 given the roll out thus far this week. I really hope y’all didn’t nerf the new Mythic into obscurity but time will tell.

Ads… You finally buffed them, and then quickly found a way to make even that contentious. Unreal. Lol

Have to say I wouldn’t complain to much. You get free gem keys and gems for letting a small commercial run. If we had that on console I would do it in a heartbeat, but alas because of Microsoft/Sony we don’t get those perks.

I’d say be thankful for what you have.

By that logic, ads would still be 100 gold and 500 gold. 🤷  
But always nice to hear from the platforms that don’t factor in regards to ads since they aren’t available there.

I can appreciate the buff and still criticize the decision to devalue a player base, based solely on level (it appears.)  
These other games/companies shouldn’t care what level in GoW the player is. So why are the rewards different?  
And I can criticize that it was done with a ninja change and not with the patch.

Hey I just spent another $10 on GoW last week.  
The devs should be grateful I’m not complaining more.  
(Based on the logic of appreciation of “rewards”. 🙂)

Another change that was not communicated? Figures. _(Barbrady voice - move along, nothing to see here.)_

And what is the reasoning behind this newest segregation? If it was at least - lower lever players get bigger rewards until they finally are the same at some level X (as a tiny compensation for lack of any catch-up mechanism, as far as I know), I wouldn’t be that confused.

Ballpark relative value of a player’s 30-second farming potential?

I don’t click on the ads and even I think that’s messed up. New players are starting behind such a massive curve already that I can’t see the harm in letting them receive the full measure of resources from these.

Since the nerf came after my work around for the alleged 9 month old bug now.

> [@\[Reported\] No Ads Available](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/resolved-ish-no-ads-available/63125/14):
>
> I found a work around. (For those who run into this similar issue.) Open the chest menu or sub chest menu (don’t even need to open a chest). Keep doing it until an ad becomes available.

I can’t help but wonder. If the ads are actually designed to be available 3 times a day. Or if the devs/people selling ads want players just try log into to the game 3 times a day in hopes of an ad being available. If they aren’t part of the 2% of the player base who access the forums. They have no clue about my work around.
