It was split, because one of the devs had a baby, and is taking some time off. That dev is needed for the changes that are being pushed back. Splitting the update was a reasonable move by the dev team.

Well, maybe it dressed it to be split. Lets see what is coming. đ

We really need the bug fix portion of the patch too. So even though waiting the extra month or two for the full patch normally wouldnât be terrible, dealing with the Agile Bug for another month would be frustrating.
Just look how many support threads get opened about the Agile Bug, then realize these are the people making it to the forums. So who knows how many new customers hit the bug, and just look at the game as broken.

@Sirrian Mentionned on the website article (not here on the forum but on the link posted by Nimhain up there) that this particular weapon may probably get a nerf post 1.0.9 . It is a bit overpowered on purpose so it would make the hero a viable option.
Might break the Arena though.
On another note, Iâm happy they finally created something worth using running on Green / Purple gems. I often found it was lacking something reliable on, except Venoxia but I donât like her since her rework đ
I will expect some Alchemist / Cresendo / Shadow Dragon or Green Slime / Green Seer / Cresendo now, it might be good but no worth using as offensive decks since you canât really play a Valkyrie with that :o

but whata hell, the banner photo shows 9 true damage for everyone, and it bought 6 true damage, have all the kingdoms that give spell at level 10.

@Sirrian @Nimhain hmmmmmâŚ
I think the weapon might be bugged.
At 10 Magic, it deals 7 true damage to all. Makes me wonder what it does at 0 - 3 magic.
But the point is that on the image uploaded to the website, for a magic lvl of 8, your hero seems to deal 9 true damage to all !

That image looks incorrect doesnât it⌠I wonder if we grabbed it during testing
The formula for Crescendo is DAMAGE = 2 + MAGIC/2 (rounded down)

That is odd.
I definitely had it as 9 damage in-game a few hours ago, so I suspect the patch from sometime in the last hour changed that and the picture was from before.

Yup, I also saw that using the âsee allâ in the hero tab.
Anyway, itâs nice to see that the formulas arenât limited to âdamage = X + 1\*magicâ. This was needed to bring balance as âmagic + 1â doesnât do the same on a Behemoth than on an Ancient HorrorâŚ

Still odd, but in _that_ light it bodes well for things like split damage troops (iâŚe Hydra) who we might see with damage = X + 2\*magic âŚ

Okay - updated the image, and checked our development logs⌠it got rebalanced last week, that screenshot was from 3 weeks ago!
The new version of the weapon deployed out with this weekâs event data just before it went live.
Sorry for the confusion!
Had we not had our heads buried in some new traits for 1.0.9 all day, we would have spotted that inconsistency.

The Guild of Roisin is a firm believer in the principle of less whining and more whupping.

any hope for us new player that missed a lot of event weapons to get them back? i donât really care about the weapon themself but i like to build a collection when it comes to this sort of game and there is nothing more annoying than a collection you canât complete

Maybe you should really consider releasing some sort of old weapon pack alongside the actual glory bundle each week. I myself have started playing only like two months ago and I am sure there are lot of people like me, who are missing vast majority of the old event-only weaponsâŚ
I mean theres a lot of event weapons and if you plan to use weekly events for new release the demand to introduce old weapons is only gonna go up.
For myself I have to say that I really hate games that have some sort of unobtainable collectibles⌠Its like ''Oh, you havent been playing since the beta? Oh, you missed last weeks event? I am sorry, brah, but you will never ever be able to get those special items, cause were bunch of douchebag devs who think having exclusive unobtainable items makes our game better somehow." Just please, dont let GoW become that kind of game. So far I am having a blast playing and stuff like that really spoils the fun.

Yes to both of these things⌠we agree!
The plan is to release low-rarity troops on what was previously âweapon weekâ (the game needs more Commons & Ultra-Rares right now). On those weeks, weâll also make previous event weapons available in the store for GLORY! Might even extend the weapon thing to ALL weeks to help the newer players⌠weâll see.
Staff of Madness is coming soon, @Machiknight! We promise đ
