Hello! Do you guys have any idea how to fix trophies that don’t drop in guild wars and one trophy in pvp defender, how are things going with this issue? ---

Just an observation. After last GW the next GW was planned after 8.5 release so that our feedback could be incorporated. Besides a small bug fix I don’t see anything for GW. Am I missing something or did something happen to the improvements that they were not included in 8.5? ---

Still waiting 1 year + for the broken guild wars achievements fix. Guild wars troops as well. Glue some shiny keys to them so they get a higher priority. ---

- An Immortal would be removed from the team if they didn’t match the Region restriction (even though the Immortal is from that Region). - This is the team resetting issue. Not working on steam. ---

Teams with restriction non-compliant immortals get wiped on Android as well. Set up a team, restart the game, team is gone. And, by the way, what in the name is this idiocy? ![Screenshot_20250520_093932_air.com.and.games505.gemsofwar](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/3/1/317dfb14a3781d045410bf6900542a2685a55377.jpeg) Why does the update require re-downloading this truckload of assets? I guess I’ll have to wait until getting back home to wi-fi access for this fun experience since I forgot to check in the morning when updating. When will you learn to release a patch that does not totally break the existing stuff? ---

That window doesn’t cause any issues for me, I am a GM though, so don’t know if that changes anything. ---

Not fixed. I had a team with Immortal Glaycia (Winter’s Reach immortal) in Winter’s Reach (currently Giant restriction), the team was wiped after collecting tribute. Steam and Android. ---

Confirmed, the team resetting issue is NOT fixed. Steam and Android also. Steps: Put a team with Glaycia in \>do 1 battle \> close game and re-open \> team is gone. ---

Its getting more worse with each "up"date. Fixing 2 things another 5 get broken. Btw can everyone tell me why the main rewards in the rewards screen showing now up like they are blown up like a balloon not fitting correctly in its frame nor its even centered (like the class logo in the weekly class trial since ages)? Now it feels like playin colors and shapes for kids, its ugly and annoying. Another few ‘mistakes’ and i will be out of this broken hamster wheel as Vip14 playing since day1. ---

> [@TheIdleOne](#): > > Anyone else’s game crash when checking Guild Activity now that Guild Wars defense keep is locked in? I was able to check without crashing before I placed a defense team. I then placed my defense team and it crashed the next time I checked. Placing the defense team was the only thing I did between checking. ---

I had a team with Immortal Glaycia (Winter’s Reach immortal) in Winter’s Reach (currently Giant restriction), the team was wiped after collecting tribute. Steam and Android. Looking how the bug fix was worded…..’An immortal would be removed from the team…..’ …..no one who plays the game and understands the problem would phrase it in that way. The whole team gets removed, not just the immortal….which has been pointed out to the CX team and Devs dozens of times. ---

I put Immortal Selene in her home region Bay of Stars, beast restriction on Xbox. Returning later, the team was wiped, and I could pick any troops, beast or otherwise. Edit: In fact it looks like restrictions are gone everywhere, at least when choosing a team. ---

Guild activity log is working OK for me. It correctly logs when a member sets a GW defence and where. Edit: Now it’s crashing again. ---

Looking at guild activity boots us to a crash report. Just like last guild wars. ---

Why is the keep locked already? I thought we were able to change it last time after day 1. [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/update-8-5-patch-notes/87753.md?page=1) [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/update-8-5-patch-notes/87753.md?page=3)
