Someone was having too much fun nerfing troops..
-
Blackthorn with the Independent 50% chance to entagle or inflict bleed as if either one of those was strong enough to warrant separating it..
-
The seasonal mythic looks depressing.
-
Tauraeus.. what did they do to you
I’ve lost a lot of interest in this season…

The Pop up this morning said I will get 3300vp from the conversation of Icons. But I got nothing. Did I miss something to trigger the conversation?
Edit: they only Show up in the Shop. But not in Ladder or pvp goals

Immortal Taureous…NOOOOOOOOOO! (Please tell me that this is some bad April Fool’s joke)
This must have been a last minute change or something, but this is absolute garbage. Tauros needed a strong troop like what he should have been to help that troop typing.
Yay, we explode a row instead of getting bonus damage. And the featured Immortal is pretty terrible because we have gotten used to Glaycia in Winter’s Reach, and we have a Cosmic dragon in Maugrim Woods.
Well, this PvP season is officially a bust…

and we kept the garbage 3rd trait, but the boost ratio doesn’t exist anymore.

They also got rid of Asbjorn’s the Mountain’s secondary effect of exploding all 
gems too…Giants could have used a troop like that to help that troop typing too…
Seriously guys, why are you making troops worse?

End of season trophies have not gone on to my points yet???
Its bad enough only getting only 20% this should be 50% but getting nothing is really taking the Michael.

Even when they aren’t causing issues with bugs, they still manage to kick players in the shorts.

Let’s not forget the worst mythic boost in game.
Highlighted by this weeks journey.
Bieska with a x2 MAXIMUM +8 damage. Yes its 3 targets so its technically +24 but STILL!

Look at your score in the shop or going towards your alliance rank - it’s accurate there.
My weekly is about 40k and my overall is 60k << or there abouts.

Just checked - well, honestly it sucks a lot!
To ruin troops is a rare gift. Our devs are genius at that.
Well, no charity this season.
Thank you devs, great job!

Well, no…but…there was no reason to completely ruin Asbjorn The Mountain and Immortal Tauraeus. Why was exploding all gems considered overpowered? King of Ravens explodes all 
and spirit gems while dealing damage, and it’s a similar spell…And at least give Immortal Tauraeus a damage boost ratio of…something. “Hey, let’s have him explode a row instead and give him an amazing final trait to make him really good!”
40+ true damage is like tickling your opponent to death, and this has the same feeling as when they nerfed the normal Tauraeus. Seriously. Put the bull out of his misery and stop.
We have over 1750 troops, and over 90% of them feel like they have no purpose. Kingdom restrictions in Guild Wars prove this. Let’s just use Wands and Dragons. And this Journey event proves how much we have to rely on our hero and overpowered weapons to make up for the lack of diversity.

Revenue will be down this season….
Look for beancounters to recommend a boost the next one… 
I don’t get it. Immortal Tauraeus follows standard immortal setup. (3 true splash at 2/3 magic). Why is it considered “weak”?
Do you use those standard immortals much?
I use Immortal Raqiyah pretty often. She follows the same setup, with x2 per hourglass gem. If Immortal Tauraeus use boost (presumely from attack, health and armor, just like normal tauros), boost ratio would be at 15:1 or 20:1, to give a similar result. I guess people would cry further.
- It’s Central Spire
- Would you use it over Immortal Empyrion?
- Do you even use Immortal Empyrion in Central Spire?
- Immortal Tauraus has a 3rd trait that I wouldn’t want to see on a regular Mythic.
- Awakening that 3rd trait still doesn’t save it.
Personally, most of the 3 true splash are not strong outside of their home pvp area.
