**Platform, device version and operating system:** Steam, Windows 10 PC, 9.1 Version of the game **What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:** Forgot to take a screenshot and am out of sigils, but today’s Class Trial restricted my weapons to the Nexus weapons when normally, Class Trial lets you use whatever you want. **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** First time today, last week’s Class Trial was still fine. Restriction was there for every single battle. **Steps to make it happen again** Play Class Trial today, I guess? Who knows how it will be next week. ---

Weapon restrictions in Class Trials need to be fixed ASAP. Usually I would just equip the Ruby Macaque with troops that were Empowered, had mana links, or created gems when their turn began. I hope that this is resolved quickly, as this is another unfortunate way of shoving “restrictions” down our throats… ---

Was about to say I didn’t have this problem (though I equipped Wand of Stars anyway because it’s too OP _not_ to use in its own kingdom), but then I am playing on Switch and our update just hasn’t hit yet. ---

Seems like a good change to me? Other events with kingdom restrictions – Underspire, for example – _do_ apply the restriction to the weapon as well as the troops. Why should Class Trial be different? ---

the TLDR I got from the team is - Class trials were always intended to apply the Kingdom restriction to the Weapons, as it is also applied to the Troops. This change came through in 9.1 because we fixed a bug with copying and pasting teams. I am digging up literally any information I can about this being mentioned at any point publicly that Class Trials are always intended to apply Kingdom restriction to the weapons. I’ve also asked, as it’s has been this way for so long, would we just leave out weapon restrictions from the event or will we continue with what was originally intended. ---

> [@Jeto](#): > > the TLDR I got from the team is - Class trials were always intended to apply the Kingdom restriction to the Weapons, as it is also applied to the Troops. I am sorry, but this completely ruins Class Trials. Nobody has time to create a kingdom specific team and stress over this. It was nice just to hop in and quickly collect the 25 gems and free class exp. **“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”** ---

> [@Jeto](#): > > Class trials were always intended to apply the Kingdom restriction to the Weapons, as it is also applied to the Troops. I’ve always had this mentality personally, but this would be somewhat odd for newer players without a full suite of Weapons to pick from – no Weapon, no Hero on the team, no +2 class XP per battle. (This being said, since every Class has an associated Mythic Weapon, it stops being a problem in somewhat short order.) Granted, the same restriction applies to Underspire but Class Trial is **literally** about training the Hero’s class, so thematically it doesn’t make sense if a player’s Hero is unable to participate in a given week. And what about Faction Assaults? Are the available Weapons similarly restricted to the Faction’s colors now? (Not complaining myself, again I feel this should have _always been_ the case, and Color restrictions are more forgiving anyway.) ---

> [@Jeto](#): > > Class trials were always intended to apply the Kingdom restriction to the Weapons, as it is also applied to the Troops. I mean, from the near 8+ years I’ve been playing, this is news to me. Every other game mode, sure.. but Class Trials was open to all hero weapons since the beginning, mainly because some of these class trials (Forest of Thorns in the old days) has a very weak selection of troops to participate with. ---

From 9.2 we will remove the Kingdom restriction on weapons from Class trials ---

Thanks: like the Instakill Vs Reflect issue, this smelled like “oopsie, let’s call it intended” after years of the mode working in a specific way.. ..either way, glad the choice to revert has been made 🙏 🖖 ---

Much appreciated. Class trials are mostly used for just a quick 5 min run to get some free gems. Leave BS restrictions for PvP and Guild Wars. Not This. Of course, if you actually played the game for all these years and got some free gems taken away, you would understand how frustrating this would be… ---

Why always dumbing down the game? It’s not difficult to make a good team with one of the many weapons from each kingdom. ---

> [@Vorlon](#): > > Why always dumbing down the game? It’s not difficult to make a good team with one of the many weapons from each kingdom. Maybe because the game isn’t always about you and the people that’d still need Class Trials to power level classes are the same people that probably don’t have every kingdom weapon available to work with. ---

You are so right. God forbid you’d have to make an effort or exert some patience to achieve something. ---

In the long term, that is a short-lived slice of users. 256 battles to unlock the Class Weapon isn’t exactly quick, but it’s MUCH faster than grinding out to Talent Lv.100 (and you don’t even need the Hero on the team, just the Class). ---

> [@Stratelier](#): > > you don’t even need the Hero on the team, just the Class If you don’t have the hero on the team, you don’t have the class. You don’t get class xp unless your hero is on the team. Unless they changed it. ---

> [@Zuul-Emo](#): > > You don’t get class xp unless your hero is on the team. Unless they changed it. Correct, but it still counts the win towards unlocking a Class Weapon, with or without the Hero on the team. ---

News to me. Pretty sure you always used to have the hero equipped on the team to progress towards class weapon.
