I may have already mentioned pvp teams that you need to defeat on turn 1 or lose. What really had me screaming yesterday was delving and getting screwed over by - Deathmark - Transform - Random devour These are random small chance effects that you can hardly defend against (especially with a faction team!) that can completely ruin your otherwise perfect run. For deathmark (as much as I hate that effect in any circumstance to the point that I hate it if my troops apply it) and devour you could argue that the enemy managed to kill them. But transform? That should be a reversible effect! Oh and having delved shuffled is also pretty annoying. ---

Doing 300 PvP battles today without any Pet Gnomes appearing ☹ Getting Urskine 3 times yesterday, which I do not need more copies of ☹ Not being offered the pets I still need more copies of in Daily Deals because they do not contribute to current kingdom power levelling ☹ ---

The Warrens. Almost lost x3…on Faction 300…with Hoard at 164 and 6 potions of power. Quit dodging my attacks you foul rabbitses. I’ll be back again to vent after 500. At least I had enough food to feed Hare-o-Plane to 15. ---

4 straight battles without a Valraven.

Raven was in orc battle, reading your post saved me 250 gems, thx! ps. from what i observed, distibution of ravens in class event is static (ie. they are always in same battles for same class event) pss. i’m just making a rule from pure RNG coincidence ---

Had I gone in reverse then the Raven would have been in the Queen Mab battle. It’s pure luck RNG. Sometimes tier 3 is enough to get all the Class Trial rewards. Sometimes it’s not. ---

5 Magic Runic Delve rooms, 4 Water, 2 Earth and 1 Nature (Goblin Throne Room). Fire and Wind? Zero. I guess Fire and Wind come from the sky, not the Delves. ![Screen Shot 2020-06-30 at 7.17.24 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/b/d/bde3253abc4208abb109a8b355702c2e589a9b32.png) I suppose it helps me avoid doing Explore in Blue Mana kingdoms. ---

They were good! However now I see they’re only one Bracket ahead of us (and not particularly challenged by their opponents). I feel bad for them. They should be much higher up in the rankings. When two over-performing guilds meet in a lower Bracket, they slow each other down, even if in the broader scheme of things, they both outclass their surroundings opponents by a mile. This is a failing of the GW Bracket progression system/formula. This shouldn’t be a new consideration (me, from Feb '19): > [@Maximum positions in guild war rating](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/maximum-positions-in-guild-war-rating/52199/17): > > I think this is actually a significant issue re: the bracket-jumping formula. If you have 2 high performing guilds in the same, low bracket, only 1 of them will be able to benefit from the bracket jumping, I believe. I.e., I don’t believe the formula accounts for localised disturbances/chaos, which makes it much less effective than one might think it is. […] > > Hypothetical case in point: > > - Imagine all guilds in brackets 300-400 (if there are 400) score somewhere between 10,000-50,000 points - a fairly low score. > - In bracket 370, there are 2 high performing guilds that score 1 million and 900,000 points, respectively. > - How many brackets does the 2nd guild (with 900,000) points move up? > > I believe it would only be 1-2, currently, while the 1st guild (with 1 mil points) would potentially move up ~30-40 brackets (although I’m not sure, and they might only move up 1-2 brackets, as well) - and if so, I would believe this to be a flaw. #itsnotworking #theydidntdothemath #angry 😡 #sad 😢 ---

If I had a brain, I might be able to figure out how Bracket Seeding Works. I don’t, and it doesn’t. From one of my previous rants: > [@\[Closed\]Chunky's Raiders: New Recruitment Parameters](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/closed-chunkys-raiders-new-recruitment-parameters/58078/11): > > Ok, so last time, we jumped from b39 to b24, and fought the b30 and b26 winners. We win, and this time we fight in b16 and fight the latest b30 and b18 winners. Don’t ask me how bracket seeding works. Good luck to you and your Guild in your quest to find a competitive bracket. Perhaps these issues will be addressed in 5.0. The existing system always felt a bit arbitrary, as in, “Let’s put these four bracket winners in one bracket, and see who advances this time.” They claim “Math”, but I never believed in that stuff. For the Horde.
