So, PC/Mobile gets 3 troops this week and we get 1, yet somehow we’re closing in on them? 😸 ---

> [@Stan](#): > > So, PC/Mobile gets 3 troops this week and we get 1, yet somehow we’re closing in on them? 😸 That is not the problem. The Developers have roughly laid out their timetable for platform parity in a previous post. What is the problem is how the developers are going to compensate for the incredible troop and Kingdom increase that is going to start occurring shortly in a VERY narrow window on consoles. ---

It’s about 15 weeks, so at least 30 Troops for the PC version on top of the now 60 Troop gap. We would need 6 Troops a wee to catch up. * * * @Sirrian@Alpheon, I’m not asking for spoilers but this a quite worrying number. ---

Apart from not having enough glory to purchase event troops, and their and arcanes, there is the lesser issue of being limited in souls with such a large influx all of a sudden. New kingdoms and Mythic troops would need to come every 2ish weeks. ---

Yikes 6 troops a week? That is indeed a very worrisome number… I mean, I only have like 4000 glory at this point. I don’t even really care about the arcanes anymore for now, so no extra purchases. I’m still pretty low player anyway (level 152) but I’d really want to purchase all the new troops. My glory isn’t going to cut that for long if every troop is like 300-400 glory. Even if I keep up my earning of 1000 glory per week give or take Ugh I’ve had the same problem with accidentally opening chests! A couple of times with glory which really made me want to cry. And once with gems too : / ---

Unless the in game Mail brings free arcanes with some of the inevitable free troops then a lot of people will be worried ---

Let’s see what happen first my friend im sure they already think about it and i am pretty sure they will do things right like the real gentlemen they are 🙂 also we are not talking about crime city or moderrn war here 🙂 we got the best dev in gow so let’s trust them and enjoy the show ---

Exactly. My thought was that we would start to see the gap close this week, not widen, while the synchronization window gets another week narrower. The comments from Mr.Strange and Alpheon seem to indicate that they will not just be offering up, say, 6 troop packs every week with similar pricing to what we are used to. If they were going to use the tried and true methods of introducing new troops, just at an increased rate, I think they would have started this week, rather than introducing a single Ultra-rare. So I remain very curious as to HOW they are going to close this gap while keeping as many of us as possible happy, or at least without triggering numerous meltdowns on the forums and elsewhere. ---

Starting next week they’re going to be gradually deleting cards nobody cares about from the PC/mobile version. Like Dokkalfar. That way, we can meet in the middle. 😉 ---

Similar, not the same. Rak stays consistently strong throughout the match while SH starts extremely strong and tapers off at the end. Rak is also targetable while SH goes after the healthiest foe.
