> [@Hopes for Campaign 3?](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/hopes-for-campaign-3/67571): > > So two Campaigns are now in the books, and we have a basis for comparison: what do y’all think? I’m still curious to know what people want to see in future Campaigns, and what constructive critiques we’ve got for the ones we’ve seen already. Personally, I still like the stat gains helping in delves (but I’ve also started boosting hoards past 100, so maybe that’s the actual reason I’ve beaten Sunken Fleet [199] this go-around? Still beating my head against Werewoods [199], Warrens [177], Frostfi… I think my thoughts have remained largely unchanged, which is a shame since we’re coming up on a year into the Campaign’s implementation. This is sort of a problem, as evidenced by my lack of a “Hopes for Campaign 4?” thread — it means people are inured to the way things are and are expending less energy to try and get things to change. And there’s _plenty_ that could be changed: 1. **Rewards** — I get it, this is a non-starter for the suits. Still sucks, and I still disagree; I think more people would buy gems or passes if free track had better rewards that were harder to get due to _effort_ and not artificial time-gates. Passes, by comparison, would obviously need to be made commensurately better. More medals, for starters. Higher rarity medals, too (because I get they’re “only for money” frustration tools but - guess what? - people like me **aren’t** _frustrated into buying tokens,_ but rather _frustrated to the point that we’re playing less_. My trophy counts are down — I’m bored/hopeless/apathetic/whatever-descriptor-suits-you, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Non of the mythics released have really been dazzling (though I’ll admit they’ve been “good enough” to warrant my mother and I getting them thus far, for kingdom power purposes, mostly) — some are bordering on cool-ish, but will anyone actually _use_ Dao (or Kurandara, for that matter) for anything other than novelty? 🤷‍♂️ Anything else that pays out less than it costs, blah-blah-blah; I’ll end on a good note, though, by mentioning Imperial Deeds being added is neat, though I fear the kingdom power disparity between F2P and P2P that might result over time. 2. **World Events** — In medal design, in event restrictions, and in scoring things could be improved. I want _interesting_, unique medals that aren’t just “double skull damage” or “double your spellz, LOL.” So many neater possibilities could exist — I’ve mentioned a few of my favorite ideas before, so a different one I had : Medal of Bleeding : Inflict a stack of bleed upon all enemies when matching skulls (or red gems or — go nuts! any 4+ match). Event restrictions have been discussed ad nauseam; suffice it to say restrictions should seem in-alignment with the medals, so fixing the first issue I think would go a long way toward improving this one. Scoring is another dead horse to be beaten: put the rules in-game, make it clear how to score points if you want to. Simple. People should be allowed to know the object of the game before they begin playing. To close on a positive — the lore is usually a nice little touch. The charm isn’t enough to excuse bad gameplay, but it’s there nonetheless 🤷‍♂️ 3. **Off-Weeks** — let the Artifact stat last until the next one. One week of getting to enjoy the stats earned over the course of the Campaign is well-deserved, especially if their first “week” is actually only 3-4 days, given the tasks being artificially time-gated. 4. **Time-Gates** — literally the worst part of the implementation, to me; it’s number four because TROJAN HORSE, MUAHAHAHA, I AM AN ORC BUT I CAN TRICK LIKE A NASTY-WASTY HOBBIT. If you want it to take awhile for people to complete the campaign, give them a difficult task; Hunting 5 Krakens **IS NOT** difficult. Killing 50 is getting closer. 100 is probably more on-point, surely. FOMO can still be created when people look at a task and think, “Uh…10 _thousand_ 4+ matches would take me _how long_ to do…?” Maybe I’ve other thoughts, maybe I don’t — Guild Wars fogs my vision this week, my blood surges no other song… NO ✌ **FOR THE HORDE** EDIT: Also if I get a Treasure Hunt of 130 turns, I’d like that to count as two runs, kthxbai (Silver Task _could_ read “get 180 turns of treasure hunt done” or something, I don’t know. Just stop incentivizing me to quit the moment I’ve gotten to 60) --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/the-next-campaigns/68916)._
