  1. Will be fixed in 7.3

  2. Request we’re aware of already. I’ll raise it again before the end of the year to see if we can get eyeballs on it - can’t fit into 7.3 - can’t promise anything at this stage, but it’s a reasonable request!

  3. We’re already talking about changes for this - probably not 7.3 though due to time constraints (we were already in the middle of 7.3 development when 7.2 officially released)

Hey folks,

We’re working on getting the fix out today.
This will also include putting Treasure Guardian Rooms on some dead end map tiles that have already been revealed.

If you have played the dead end battle you will see the Treasure Guardian Room chest which you can open.

We’ll also be sending out 10 Torches for everyone.

Thanks all for your patience while we’ve been working on this!

Hello :slight_smile:

This is not a bug.

As @Stratelier has mentioned, the Weapon’s spell summons a random troop from the entire pool of the Drifting Sands. (Which means it can pull a troop that was previously used, as it is not excluded from the entire troop pool)

However, I can pass on your feedback to the development team for consideration. :slight_smile:

If you don’t use the auto click feature then you can safely use the controller without worrying about it triggering hack detection.

Yes for sure!

If you write a ticket and you don’t want one of the CX team to answer it my Manager will answer it.

I really think this will suffice, but if you really want me to open my DMs on here I will, but I’m not sure I’m the person you want to talk to about it either. I’d really much prefer a ticket as it sounds like whatever you want to talk about might be something I discuss with my manager afterwards regardless.

If you feel like it might upset staff or feel insulting, maybe, I don’t know what it is you’re going to write, but we literally have players threatening us IRL on the regular so whatever you’re going to write is probably just par for the course for a Friday. I don’t think you’re going to try to be insulting or to upset anyone, so whatever you’re going to write is probably going to be far less bad to read than whatever else we’ve dealt with this week.

We’re also fully aware of communication issues - I’ve been doing this for a very long time. I will say things a...

Closing this thread as Cronus’ account ban has already been mentioned, at length on the forum already.

Hmmm, I’ve not encountered issues with the Xbox Elite Controller and hack detection.
I’ll ask the team how that fits into the picture and if there’s a risk there I’ll prod for it to be addressed.

I’m not sure I’ll be able to provide more info than that about it.
Bit of a - this is a genuine concern but have to think about how my answer could assist cheat creaters.

Leave it with me.

Playing all weekend isn’t unusual, it’s hardcore - or possibly someone with a bad case of insomnia and a lot of energy drinks on their hands :slight_smile:

I can’t go into details about how we detect tools being used but we have checks in place for all sorts of things just to ensure the smooth running of the game, some of those checks allow us to tell if files have been modified or tools are being used.

Just sticking my head in here to let you know I’ve asked about this and will let you know once I have an answer.

I know a team member who has probably been waiting for this feedback request their whole life @Jeto :rofl:

Thread closed. Bans are not to be discussed on the forum.

I work on Gems of War.

No one is getting banned for hitting the gold cap.

Above I said this issue will be fixed for 7.3.

Players get banned for cheating for reasons such as the following:

  • Speed or acceleration software
  • Editing game files
  • Bot trainers, automatic bots
  • Macros, scripts
  • Keyboard or mouse hot keys
  • Custom controller mappings for special controller buttons outside of the standard controller button functions
  • Plus any other modification to the game or gameplay that is not available as part of the default game

These reasons have nothing to do with the gold cap.

There is an error message that appears if you hit the gold cap it does block you from playing the game. It is not a ban.

Update:
We’re looking at adding some stuff in 7.3 for this if it fits in the schedule. Not just for Gold but the other resource types as well. It will probably need to be included as part of future updates as well.

I believe less than 0.008% of monthly active players are affected and the ones we’ve seen were all cheating if I recall correctly.

I’ve asked the team for further information so I can follow up on it more to ensure no one close to the cap are playing legitimately - in which case we’ll give them a headsup so they can spend their gold before they hit the cap.

OminousGman is actually Associate Producer for Gems of War now :slight_smile:

It’s been great having him as a Producer coming from CX as he’s really in tune with what sort of feedback we receive from the community and he’s always been fantastic with the bug reports and helping prioritise community concerns.

He’s still a part of our daily community meetings but as Associate Producer he’s able to help us make improvements to how we priorotise community.

I know there’s a bunch of outstanding things to improve and it’s a team effort, not just Gman, but he is an asset in that position for sure.

In general, improvements are being made behind the scenes regarding community and communication. It does take time to get these things moving though, especially in a way that’s noticeable to the community itself. I’ve been incredib...
