I don’t play on console, so not sure if it’s the same there. But on PC, Ele is a dragon and Ketras is not, so easy decision 😜 But more seriously, one thing GW has done is really highlighted which troops are actually useful, such as the mighty Cockatrice. In our guild chat discussions, Ketras is almost never suggested for teams. However, Ele is regularly suggested, and is personally part of 3 of my GW teams, as well as my “strong” PvP team. I saved resources for 3 months (skipping Ketras and Stonehammer) to get it, and don’t regret the decision. ---

@Verdugo Keep in mind Saltypepper made an offhand joke that crafting might involve some aspect RNG in a post… so…? I hope that means rng resources to create, not the end goal ---

I’m sure in these 844 posts, there were at least a couple memes. And it was in the flow of the conversation, so within the community guidelines. Also: my thread, my rules. 😜 Edit: after scrolling the whole thread, there are surprisingly few memes, especially for a thread where @verdugo posted 36 times. @Rickygervais did post a few GIFs and videos… ---

Just this week the owner of largest Xbox Gems club with hundreds of members just got a 24 communication ban when she used the b### word in her own Club. In a specific area where trash talk “was allowed” per her rules. MS “keeping it clean” I guess. ---

> [@Stan](#): > > Nim has already announced that we’ll get Nyx this coming week (plus Dark Troll and Void Portal) for glory. The following week will presumably be Suncrest, with maybe a Friday release (just after Pharos-Ra ends his exclusive week). They might slip a bonus troop or two into that week (Necrezza and/or Bone Naga?). An Adana event after that and one or two more events with bonus troops to catch up on the last couple weeks of PC/Mobile releases and we’re done with non-mythic troops. I think they’ll run mythic-exclusive weeks every two or three weeks until we’re caught up, but that will still take 6-9 weeks. Even at 9 weeks, we’re still on track for a simultaneous release of the next PC/Mobile mythic in July. Pretty close. Currently plan is about 3 weeks between Mythics depending, but as we start catching mythics up it may change. Consoles are probably going to be about 2 weeks behind in events until the next update on consoles. This is partly as we weren’t able to get the kingdom after Suncrest finished in time for the recent release, so we need to make sure there was some events in reserve. I’m currently working to get the content far enough ahead so next update it should sync without worrying about update delays. > [@Ghaleon](#): > > There was a request to have a exclusive week for apocalypse troops to drop. My understanding is the devs we’re looking into it but no guarantees could be done, just that they would look into it. If it does happen it will be after consoles catch up on mythics. ---

@Nimhain since we only gonna get 3 weeks between mythic, can you consider make the exclusive period longer? Maybe 2 week? ---

The obvious solution would be to increase the drop rate. If you allow for 1 mythic per 4 weeks, under normal conditions, then it will take 9 months to catch up by releasing a mythic every 3 weeks. That is 9 mythics with significantly reduced resources, considering that guilds already have a low cap on tasks now it is clear what should be done. Then there is the Apocalypse troops, if you go every 3 weeks to get them in too then it will be another year on top. ---

2 War, 1 Death, 1 Jotnar, 3 Pharos and 3 Abynissia - Been playing for about a year: and 4 or 5 of those Mythics came in the last week alone. …and just pulled A Drak. ---

Can’t wait to see what is the new game mode And currency sirrian talked about. I hope we won’t have to wait too long to get it on console, the bad news is we won’t get it in the 3.05 update, we gonna have to wait for the 3.1 😢 ---

I’m assuming he’s talking in general about the fact there is a patch before crafting comes (namely 3.05), so two sets of certification required by Sony/Microsoft for consoles. ---
