[2023] Where are the new Warbands?

I’ll let the designers know you’re all keen for more Warbands or something more to do with War Coins as they’re stacking up. I’m sure there’s already plans though it just has to slot in with everything else we’re doing as well

I’ll also mention how maybe the appearance rate of War Coins for mid-endgamers might be running a bit high so the data folks can check what kind of stash we’re all sitting on and see if there’s any adjustments that can be made that makes sense when taking the overall playerbase into consideration as most of the people here in the forum are hardcore so your experience skews a bit different from the middle of the bell curve - your experience is super important but it just means there may need to be more nuance to any solution depending on what the data says about the rest of the playerbase as well!

Regarding the cashing in on fomo thing - not how we would have worded it for sure as you know But yeah this is a business and a game like Gems of War costs a lot of money to develop and maintain and we always prefer earning money through giving players a way to earn things faster rather than paywalling content so almost everything is available for free but if you’re impatient yes, we will offer you something for that so that we can keep working on the game and that support is fantastic

Either way thanks for the feedback!

EDIT:
Also, just wanted to acknowledge we’re aware of the whole - every time there’s a new currency it ends up eventually stockpiling thing - I’m going to just ask the Designers very generally about that as we have so many resources available in game now and I know this has been going on for awhile, they know too, so not sure if there’s a long term plan for this yet or not I have to assume so. You guys all know Sirrian, he’s usually got about 50 things up his sleeve I haven’t even thought of yet and sometimes you guys ask for features he’s already cooked up in a document somewhere lol

I believe this is probably on the list of things to automate in terms of rotation - there’s a few things like this at the moment. I’m not sure if they’ll ever all be available at once as from a business side of things it does help to have rotating offers. I think that’s pretty common knowledge so I should be ok to share that with you as it’s just how shops work in every kind of retail?

It’s about balancing what feels great as a player vs what meets business needs so we can keep this ship sailing powerfully through the waves don’t ask me why I’m thinking of boats right now. It’s an ADHD kind of day.
