I hate it when guild wars is once every three weeks, then I wake up one day and it’s once every four weeks. ---

Opening up VIP chests for no mythic only to then get 2 Sacred Treasures from the portals from back to back openings… Thanks game(!) I can totally use them in battle and not something I need to collect like Anu or Scorpius. ---

Barrier on brown angers me so much. Such a stupid design to be allowed in PvP. Makes some battles drag out for far too long to the point it feels like you are using 4 level 1, untraited troops against the level 500 faction boss. Screw that perk (It’s not even level 100 either but 40… so unbalanced). Speaking of PvP, the new matchmaking really makes things worse when only aiming to get to tier 1 and stopping and don’t even get me started on gnomes appearing. I swear gnomes should be forbidden from appearing in PvP due to the fact they could be mythic or so forth that makes it harder to kill them. This is especially true with the exclusive pet gnome. ---

When RNG decides to have a starting board that almost guarantees a guild wars loss in bracket 1. It wasn’t my match. But still frustrating to see the bull shit that “bad luck” dictates. Excuse my language but it’s the most accurate description to a plagued system. I know the PvP servers and GW servers are separate. Please get that stupid luck factor crap out of guild wars. Or at least make sure that the starting board prevents “Mercy” boards it in this case a “tai pan” board. There’s absolutely no counter to empowered troops in regards to GW while staying 100% monocolor.@Sirrian ![20181023_135707](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/f/d/fdb0a2fa0dd440fabd6fd40aa0c4f6aab0fce301.jpeg) ---

And that’s why I hate PvP and Guild Wars, bad boards like that completely ruin any potential fun since you’ll end up slaughtered within a turn or two. Especially a problem with empowered troops (Except Fire Bombs, they can stay Empowered) ---

Especially a problem with empowered troops (Except Fire Bombs, they can stay Empowered) He said he made 2 turns after that starting board before losing the match. I don’t think anyone could of won with that starting board. Can’t be mad. Can’t help him. Just sucks that this game can be so Casino like at times. ---

> [@awryan](#): > > Or at least make sure that the starting board prevents Never going to happen, either uniquely for GW, or anywhere at all. Far too much work with no clear gain for the devs - and highly subjective whether it needs doing. A while back @Shimrra wrote a piece here on why Mercy was a bad design idea - or rather, too good not to use. I partly agreed - many here criticised it a lot. And now we have many more (four at latest count?) Mercy-style empowered transforms. Such fun. When Maw/Mercy ruled the game, making the meta miserable, we got given Spirit Fox as a counter. Blatantly. I assume the company sold a lot of IAP gems that week. Clearly we need a few more Fox-style counter / drain troops - because yet more empowered mana drain in the game would be great for entertainment. For the board mess in your screenshot - any other time you could just bring your own Taipan, or bring a SpiritFox, and hope. I guess that doesn’t help on Brown GW day - but better to win with Taipan and three brown troops than lose? ---

> [@Jainus](#): > > I guess that doesn’t help on Brown GW day - but better to win with Taipan and three brown troops than lose? If we had the ability to scout the board before the match then sure. But the odds of that board happening are very low. Sacrificing that many points for it wouldn’t make sense. I just wish they realized that players quit not because of gems shops… But because of stupid stuff like this. Where they have a snow balls chance in hell to win a match. ---

I had it happen twice in a row which is what prompted me to take the screenshot! Around 350 I think, so not too bad and I did manage to win by keeping my barrier topped up. At level 450+ it might be the difference between win and lose though, as one lucky skull cascade for the AI would end you ---
