Hey all! Took notes during the Dev Q&A. Hope this helps anyone who wasn’t able to make it. If I missed something or misunderstood, let me know and I’ll edit this. Also linking to @Lyrian’s notes: [Dev Q & A (28th of April) 7 PM PDT - #43 by Lyrian](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/dev-q-a-28th-of-april-7-pm-pdt/69709/43) **Heroic gems** - Campaigns can have a heroic gem that last for that campaign only. - Lcyanthropy gem: campaign will have about 1/20 (rate not set in stone) purple gems be lcyanthropy gems. It’ll still give mana but also trigger Lycanthropy. This heroic gem will last for the campaign only. - Mana potion gem: Triggers more mana. Coming Campaign 6. - PQ1-style Wildcard gems coming in some future campaign after that. **Lycanthropy** - No plan on changing the effected troop’s health like with transform. - Looking into ravens not giving sigils if affected by Lycanthropy but not resolvable currently. This is a quality of life enhancement and not a bug. **GW** - Scoring issue caused by Mongo DB. - No compensation for those affected by GW scoring bug. - Plan on tackling the GW bracket issue (slow climb, dead guilds). **Gnomes** - More gnomes coming. - New gnome music. - Gnome pet coming. - Originally the Vault was supposed to be a kingdom. The game data even includes a banner. - Working towards improving the pet gnome situation. For example, maybe a pet gnome will let you pick one of three pets (THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED, STILL DESIGNING). - There is a tech limitation preventing one hour pet rescues running alongside 24 hour pet rescue. - No plan on changing epic vault key drop rate. **Weapons** - Apex on doom weapons already removed. Estimated release during next Tower of Doom week. Weapons will get a status effect or something else instead. - Open to changing other weapons. Put suggestions on the forums. **Kingdoms** - More kingdoms coming. - Want to revisit some early kingdoms like Sword’s Edge. Over time due to power creep, these kingdoms need a boost. - New classes will be coming with the kingdoms. - Nim strongly alluded to the plan going forward being adding new kingdoms and factions and extending the existing maps in-game. **Underworld** - Still brainstorming ideas for what to do when the Underworld is full. New board for factions? Empowered faction mode to get more rewards? (THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED, STILL DESIGNING) **Tower of Doom** - Introducing weekend Tower of Doom. - Week long Tower of Doom will remain between campaigns. **World Event** - Talks of collaborative guild world events maybe. - It’s an issue having world event scoring in game. It’s too much text. Translating to other languages is an issue. **Warcoins** - Devs expected warcoins to be available in an adventure board by now, but RNG going to RNG. Thinking of a special adventure board. - No plan for veteran players to get additional war coins. **Other** - Consolidating text differences such as in traits. - Treasure Hunt is the most hacked game mode. - Admit arena rewards are low. - No plan on reducing epic task cost. - If a refund is ever needed, you need to go to google or apple for example. They can’t refund, but they can compensate with gems for example. - 5.4 update was small to handle tech debt. - Talk about reworking PvP. - More warbands coming. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/notes-from-dev-q-a/69742)._
