While happy with the changes (mostly, I wished guild tasks woul have stayed at the same price) and glad that we have something else to do I wish you would spend a little bit of time banning obvious cheaters making 3000+ pts in pvp in less than an hour.

It is so blatant that it makes me sick.

I like pretty much everything with the new patch.

One one thing that I really hate though is the fact that the jewels from dungeon are 100% random. This isn’t a bad thing when something can be done infinite times, but setting a percent chance on something that has a set limit per day is extremely bad.

Two people doing the same amount of perfect dungeons can have disparities upwards of 100 jewels over the course of a week.

A static amount of jewels should be given each day, likely at the values of 5, 5, and 10. Those values would be the same amount of jewels given now relative to the percent chance, just with 0 RNG.

Does anyone know if the daily packs give VIP points?

From what I saw of @Nimhain’s comments ingame they should, and I think they’re investigating reports that they don’t. If you’ve bought it and didn’t get VIP points submit a ticket to support and they should be able to sort you out.

Jewels are not random from dungeons.

Each day has a different color dungeon, which will give jewels that match that color (day 7- the Dungeon of Luck will give Diamonds) + shards. There is also a % chance to also earn Diamonds from Dungeon Boss battles).

Any chance we can get a peek at what the guild tasks are going to be now? It just says small hints like they are moving around the amounts of things and tossing in some crafting mats.

My bad, I did incorrect wording.

DIAMONDS need to not be random.

You are correct, all jewels other than diamonds are static. ALL of them should be like that.

We are happy with our decision regarding diamond and crystal drops at this time. If necessary we can always look into them in the future.

What exactly is the reasoning behind a percent chance drop compared to a static amount though?

If the percent values average to 20 diamonds per day, why not just give those 20 diamonds per day instead of 0 one day, then 40 the next, then 20 the next, etc.?

So if I understand this correctly about the Dungeon Rewards is the red today are gemstones?? And by my calculation I should have 100 of them? Where do I find that counter?

All jewel totals are found in the soulforge.

It is not shown in the collection for some reason.

Thank you -I’ve been going through it with a fine tooth comb to find those 100 new stones…

Maybe when unlock that red level they show?

They never appear in the collection. You have to click on the jewel in the Soulforge to show the totals. This is currently the only way I am aware of that shows these totals (other than seeing them when you try to craft something that uses them).

Thank you again for finding and posting so quickly… off to get to 4th and 5th level so I can make my runic stones 🙂

On the Defense Team tab in the PvP menu, you now have a slider available for each gem color. It affects the choices the AI will make when someone goes up against your defense team.

>
> With the added addition of the gem preferences for PvP, it was added so you could make your defense team more personal, making the AI slightly closer to the person you are up against. There are some others on the forums who want real time PvP, and slightly customizing the gem preferences for your defense team would make it feel slightly more like person you are up against, making battling the same team different for each person you are up against.

And for a tip for using the sliders -

> [@New Console AI...What do you think?](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/new-console-ai-what-do-you-think/16877/51):
>
> Generally, changing the sliders to Min/Max isn’t the best idea. The AI already has a in-built system of choosing what gems to match based off of what troops you are playing with, followed by what troops you are going against. It also takes into account troops which are currently at full mana, so it has a lower chance picking mana colors which are not needed.
> 
> The sliders are generally there to allow you to avoid picking skulls if you aren’t concerned with skulls, or if you have a mana generator which works on certain colors or if you want to avoid certain mana colors for your tank which you don’t care as much for. Using these sliders to form strategies of your own is what they are there for.

Because when you see Diamonds as a reward you want it. Now if you’re unlucky and don’t drop it, you don’t have the Diamonds but still the desire to have them. So on, you should be tempted to buy a dollar/gem pack to fill this desire…

Or it discourages the player from playing, exchanging potential player base and play time for more money.

Nothing will be more disheartening than playing through all of the Dungeons 1-2 days in a row and yielding 0 diamonds. That player is more likely to play less and will have a lower quality of positive game experience.

This patch is the worst one for the players without much ressources:

- ressources from Guild Tasks descreased (when devs could have increase the price of the GT)
- so Mythic are going to be more difficult to drop
- so more missing Mythics on the list
- and the new _miracle_ solution to drop these Mythics will take ages because you have to farm this Diamond or to buy them (you need 80 packs so 400$, it’s crazy)

I don’t see how this patch will prevent players to leave this game…
