Waiting to confirm that the the old Guild Wars exclusive troops will be into the Chest pool from weekly reset. The team changed from adding them to Guild Chests, to making them available in the normal chest pool. ---

I’m hearing same for other guilds in top of the leaderboards. It seems that this GW has more and worse problems than the previous one. Ranking problems, matching problems, reward problems, not being able to buy rewards. And just now I had the Guardian of Nature go off on turn 3 ---

> [@Jeto](#): > > The team changed from adding them to Guild Chests, to making them available in the normal chest pool. And another low blow for long time players. We did every single guild wars since it was introduced with those troops being the main motivation. Did them diligently to move our smaller guild into the top reward brackets so that our members would get those troops to max. And now all that work and invested time is flushed down the toilet because now you can get them with cheap gold keys. 🤮 ---

It’s possible this reset things and that’s why some guild are getting a repeat guild. May be a new one-time thing, or may be a repeat of the old bug. Hard to be sure. ---

There is a problem, but its not happening everywhere. For instance for us on xbox, 3 days, 3 different opponents, and 3 correct scores. And wins or losses. So not a worldwide bug. ---

day four - and… surprise… again Rock$tar vs. Marshal * * * Furthermore - our partner guild Old$chool is ranked at 168 - the opponents at position 34, 45, 34 and 36 - I think, Old$chools ranking is not correct shown… pls check this - and give the missing rewards because of de missing moral bonus to the guild… ---

Players who are seeing their yesterday’s results screen display incorrectly is a visual issue. The results shown on the overview menu is the correct value. All your bonuses, Guild and individual rewards are being received correctly. At reset tonight, you will then receive the correct rewards for todays war. Keeping also in mind, some players don’t complete their battles till close to daily reset, so scores can also still be coming through. Also, depending how often you are checking your GW overview menu. So again, players who have seen yesterday’s results screen display incorrectly, and then check back and it is a different Guild and a loss/win.. this is visual only. Of the Guilds and players so far I have looked into, currently have not found someone who is missing a reward for their valid win. Their data is showing the win, despite it not displaying in-game. ---
