What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened
Valravens normally appear in the first three PvP battles. Having an issue where they appear sporadically, similar to when they were first introduced. For example I only got one raven in 10 minutes of playing and I should be able to get two more immediately
Steps to make it happen again REPLACE THIS TEXT WITH YOUR ISSUE. e.g. Sometimes there are certain steps that can lead to a problem that may not be obvious! Example: I lost once in the Arena, I then exit to the World Map, select Broken Spire on the Map and enter Arena. The Broken Spire’s quest is lost instead.
How often does this happen? When did it begin happening? It’s not consistent but becoming more frequent

Yep. Took 16 battles to get the three valravens (which should normally appear in the first 3 non-citadel battles.
Glass Half Full - they are tweaking so many aspects of the game to overcome the iOS issue that they must have accidentally changed code that went back to how valravens appeared a few years ago.
Glass Half Empty - the programmers continue to prove their incompetence.
Conspiracist - Following the changes to the PvP shop where Crystals (ie Book replacements) cannot be purchased for gold marks, and where the promised improvements to pvp matching in 9.4 did not materialise….the amount of PvP matches plummeted. Consequently, the devs maliciously re-introduced the random valraven appearance to force an increase in pvp.
Yep I hope it gets resolved soon - the Valravens appearing in the first three battles was such a nice QOL improvement when it was introduced. Hate the idea of spending 20-30 min in random battles trying to find them now
Will confirm, I am getting the same result - need to grind PvP (which I hate) to get all 3 Valhawks since Monday, 10/26/26. On both my Steam and IOS platform.
Could you transfer to a Sirrian or who is on charge now that the way they appears consistently is a right way we all want them to appears) could we get it back to this stance?)
It’s the one reason - the other is a situation when i want to jump down from a diamond league to ruby and get my 3 ravens/day. When you do this you should win a minimal number of battles (i.e. 5 citadel battles a bay) while trying to not to loose a gold marks and not to get too much VP, but make a 6500 VP weekly target. And hope you will be in the last 5 pllayers. In this model you should open a battle (next day after a citadel battle to get a GM for 5 battles) and if there’s no raven - you quit, etcetra etcetra, it’s anoying and completelly not fun. We could have only 3 ravens/day so we can’t farm them or something, so it’s a just anoying routine when they are not going in a row. From my side it’s not the way we could beat the game and get too much benefits
Yes having the Valravens appear ASAP is such a nice quality of life feature in those days where you’re pressed for time and don’t feel like grinding PvP for the three birds. A patch a couple years ago (I think) changed the random appearance to the first three PvP battles and it was widely praised
Question, was this “bug” ever in the known issues? If not, why not? It’s been “bugged” for a couple of years. Out of all the various actual problems, how on earth did this “bug,” that approximately zero people wanted fixed and does not actually hurt the game in any way, manage to shoot to the top of the fix list?
“Fixing” it like this will actually hurt the game. PvP has been devalued a bit by the new kingdom prestige. It’s not a “must do,” anymore. I still play it, because I don’t hate it. I usually get the season pass, because I play it. But if I have to get stuck behind unlucky rng for valhawks (which is always guaranteed to hit me when I absolutely don’t have time for that ), I’ll just skip the whole thing. For sure, not everyone will be turned off the mode by this change. But some will be. And I’d bet cash money that zero people stopped playing pvp because the valhawks came three in a row.
