Just imagining you tipping all that into a blender and hitting “Frappe!”, hoping it carries you through for a while. 😂  
Fingers crossed the new fix manages to kill the bug.

**People getting the GW restrictions issue again, can you let me know if it resolves like last time by closing and relaunching the game?**  
A proper fix is expected in 8.6

_Also seems to possibly related to using a controller on pc, so also all consoles._

GW restrictions are applied globally to everything but weekly events (tod/journey), I reported it back to prev GW  
Also, new epic luther “explode 2-4 gems” and useless traits dont feels like an epic troop, esp considering this weekly troop, just compare them!

The problem with shutting down the game by setting GW defense is still there.  
Just click on the guild histories in the game.
