I’ve been averaging low 7k to 8k for rares to mythic. This one was upper 8ks to get it get the rare to mythic. so no, I didn’t know that. ---

It’s probably just this 1 _rule_ , and they’re applying it. “Swearing, NSFW content, Illegal activities – We do have families who wish to enjoy or share Gems of War with their children. Let’s keep it clean.” But 🐄💩 Is a b s o l u t e l y f i n e Also: I think that whoever thought transform was a good idea to give a level 500 troop should really have consider the impact this would have… and refrain from suggesting any gimmick effect such as transformation again. ---

Don’t worry, you’ll love the next faction too. Its not transform, but its VERY rng heavy. ---

No one questioning why this faction is in Urskaya? It’s in an mountain, in cold environment and have an colorful bird and a dude almost without clothes I really hoped for a Urska faction… or to this to be in maugrim woods ---

History shows it’s useless to ask this type of questions: back in the day I inquired why Fang Moor (naga faction) was linked to Khetar instead of Mist of Scales. There was zero response. On a different note: ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/c/9/c9206e66074f37d548c25356a1aa420f6d4207c9.jpeg) ---

I am only 180 levels into this new faction event and I am dreading higher level all faction attempts. I ran one at level 100 and, although it was not difficult due to stat boosts from potions, the entire transform mechanic was incredibly annoying. I can’t imagine the frustration at level 400 or 500 especially when those stat boosts pale in comparison to opponent troops. Perhaps my opinion will change as I get deeper into it but I have significant doubts. If the devs would have altered the transform mechanic to give you an option if you wanted a troop to change. They could keep the random transform percentage as it is but ask the player for a confirmation or denial regarding whether to allow the transformation to occur. This at least would have infused some strategy into the faction. ---

Before every Factioner rage quits the game. I humbly offer this solution. It should work for level 500 but it’ll be a while before I can know it for a fact. ![20200117_105628](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/3/5/356dfda83edbb0fff6d034625db0a299bf35e7f8.jpeg) ---

Indeed. That word is permitted in global chat without being filtered. Although oddly, a common ‘swear word’ for urination isn’t… 🙃 Anyway, these new Faction troops suck 😆 ---

Isn’t it a good thing if it takes longer to max the rare? Doesn’t that mean you were getting more higher rarity troops/treasures? ---

Does anyone understand the methodology used by @TimeKnight to figure out the event rating for each faction (e.g., shown in the table in [this post](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/new-faction-wild-court/58305/2?))? I’m curious if any of the last three faction releases is a better farming delve than City of Thieves. ---

City has 2 guaranteed V rooms and sometimes gets a 3rd V with the draak room. I think thats a big part of the formula though I am not sure of all details EDIT: city can now get FOUR x lvl V rooms. Didn’t get screenshot but just got a map with Draak room and the new Scylla room both ---
