Streakiness of the RNG.
After almost 250 Vault Keys and getting nothing I needed, in the space of 15 minutes yesterday I pulled:
The Sun
The Emperor
Orb of Power
The Sun (again!)
Ok, great, I’ve got two of the three Tarot cards now, but it’s ridiculous that these should drop like this and, probably, I’ll have to go through another couple of hundred Vault Keys before I get The Moon… 
FFS! So a little while ago I was complaining that, whilst the game would warn you if you weren’t using the Event Medals if you started an Event battle without them equipped, it didn’t warn you if you were doing a regular battle with them equipped.
I pointed out that it was a simple check that would be about five minutes work for a competent programer to implement.
But now, instead, the game DOESN’T even consistently warn you that you’re NOT using the Event Medals because I’ve just been blasted by an enemy team that should have been an easy victory, except I’d not switched back to the Event Medals after fighting a regular one!!!
Are the Devs just not using competent programers…???
This is by design. People complained it was warning them on every battle and not getting the hint that they don’t want to use event medals, so devs changed it so it only warns you the first time in your play session. After that, it stops until the game is restarted.
A) Why the hell would anyone not want to get the bonuses? Even if it’s only giving you Spell bonuses on Skull heavy battles, it’s still a benefit and the number of people who might get something better from using other Medals would probably be limited to a relatively few end-game players.
B) Why the hell wouldn’t they give people the choice to switch it off?
C) Why the hell could they still not warn people they’re using Event Medals in non-Event battles???
I don’t know a out “people”. I can remember one complainant, and about 100 posts about how we want medals on the team screen.
This yellow box…Have to restart the game to get it to clear
Bright side…it’s about a third of the size it used to be so I can see the gems it’s blocking.
The whole medal system is just badly everything-ed. We all know they should be applied on a team-by-team basis. Which means, by rights, event ones should be stuck to the event teams - especially since they are obviously no good anywhere else. But noooo~ we get to juggle and deal with iffy UI and so on.
I don’t see it as a problem. Don’t count it as a lost or win. Get to do-it -again. There is an end marker to a game. That’s how you get goodies.
Crash means no end marker. So no goodies. Person has to redo.
I see nothing that can be exploited there. In fact what I see is people quitting - just stuck having to do it over. GoW? - They just aren’t going to get anything other than having to keep doing the war over again…and again… and again without any points or goodies.
You mean apart from getting another chance to convert a pending loss into a win?
There shouldn’t be do-overs in Guild Wars (or anywhere else in the game), if you’re lost the battle, you’ve lost, not “oh, I’ll crash the game and try again with a different strategy…”
killin a dozen pet gnomes on a friday and not getting a rescue. is the game broke or what??
I get plenty of them on friday.
Did they have a “brown bag/sack” on top left of their card? There are team with pet gnome troops in it, that’s why I’m asking 
yeah, i used a palooza. come to find out, Saturday, the next day, was an all day rescue. so the last hour of that friday, was blocked from triggering a rescue. because it wouldnt have been able to carry on to the next day, Saturday. …i guess lol. thats what ive come up with. still waiting on an official reply from GoW. lol
Always on the last day of the week after I’ve done all the things I want to do and plenty of stuff I didn’t want to do …
In the devs’ timezone, folks have to work tomorrow. 150 red troops, right. That’s like … day 2 next week.
Negative status effects are meant to mean bad status effects right? why does it also have Lycanthropy that turns an almost dead troop that freezes the team on 2 colours in to a troop that has full heath and cleanses all status effects?
Another thing is the cleansing medals that a couple of people complained about for some stupid reason being nerfed to hell and now being useless. I had 3 cleansing medals but was frozen for 5 turns making one of my troops in GW basically useless costing me the battle.
Stupid cleanse medals that NEVER cleanse for 10 PvP battles in a row. Getting annoyed I went to change to an Anu medal for a bit of starting mana only to realize I have been using event medals. Why can’t I just have medals equipped to a team?
Because it would make the players happy.
I’m out of Verse 3…
I feel your pain. See my post in this very thread, August 14.
