OH I see, sorry!

Ah yeah, it’s common for an advertising company to serve in app ads, which is what we’ve done also (we’re not a marketing company so let them handle that )

Otherwise, some of the game art is done externally, although we do have our own art team as well, it takes a few people to push out new content every week.

None of the programming is contracted out, that’s all done internally. We have expanded our team, and are literally right now still growing but we are still a small team, the enti...

We have a lot going on with Gems of War at the moment behind the scenes, it is using up all of the Dev time.

IP2 doesn’t do contract work.

This is one of the things we’ve raised with the team. I’ve also checked in again with the team this morning and I don’t have any other updates yet sorry.

Currently the priorities are Guild mail (which is a good thing as this issue is related to a few other things as well that really need the time and attention) and 6.3.

I’ve let the team know that as far as community priorities go this one would be high priority and that it has existed for a long time now.

Hi forum folk,

We’ve temporarily removed the images from the forum theme due to issues with the Gems of War website which we’re working on.

Sorry things aren’t as pretty for now.

If you end up enjoying this minimalistic theme let us know as we can consider keeping it as an option for users even after we’ve fixed the website (although the default theme will remain as the one with the images).

Just to add we have a lot going on behind the scenes at all times. Currently the 2 biggest priorities are working on version 6.3 and, unrelated to 6.3, there are issues with Guild mail, there has been for a long time, to solve these issues isn’t trivial and is a huge time sink, so these 2 things are currently where the dev’s attention is.

No embellishments:

The team are aware that players want better Daily Deals and the CX team have passed on details regarding what that means. We have not been told no, but we also haven’t been told when it will be addressed. Because it’s not next on the schedule (as far as I’m aware), we don’t have any details.

So all we can say is that we are absolutely aware of all the feedback, and we’ve had no debates about whether or not they should be improved, I just don’t have any details at all to share at this stage.

When we do, we will absolutely share them as we know this is something that has been asked for a lot.

Hey, this should be fixed now.

There were some issues over at Steam today. Here’s the information I have from steamstat.us:

Oof, I missed the Pets, I will bring that up to the team.

Hey, it’s not really a concern if a Power Level is blocked by a task. There will always be a cap until new content is released over time, at which point the cap increases etc. I’d be more concerned if the cap was paywalled, which I’ve double checked Ghulvania and it’s not paywalled.

Regarding the Daily Deals, we’ve been sharing all the feedback we’ve been receiving.
We can see there’s definitely room for improvement in the Daily Deals, however, as the game is a live service game with new content being released weekly and several updates a year on going, we do work on the game incrementally, it’s often not possible to do everything in one shot, so as new content is released, we do review the older systems over time. There are things in the game now that weren’t there when the Daily Deals feature was designed and released, so while we can sometimes add new things, as you’ve noticed at some point we do need to review not only Daily Deals but how all systems in the game were...

Hey folks,

There must be a setting I didn’t realise was active where automated messages come from Salty’s account, I’ll dig into it as this is the first I’d heard of it. I thought the message either came from the mod’s account who actioned the report or the forum itself. Often these settings on forums are a single checkbox in a massive list of options, so I’ve obviously missed one. Sorry about that.

Regarding this particular post, as you raised it publicly yourself I don’t mind discussing it here if you want this time @Fourdottwoone given the nature of the post in this particular case.

Spamming is basically any of the following:

• Posting the same message over and over
• Posting the same or similar message over and over accross multiple topics

Compensation hasn’t been sent yet for any platform but it will be coming in your game mail soon.

Checking back in.

We’ve done what we can on our side. We believe that it isn’t fixed because something needs to be done manually on our chat server provider’s side. However, due to it being Easter we’re not sure how long it will take.

It’s currently almost 2am on Easter Monday here, so we can only wait at this stage, if it’s still busted during the day I will let a dev know again but I’m not sure there’s anything else we can do until proper business hours on a business day. We’ve done as much as we could so far.

@awryan Gems of War has its entirely own dev team who do not work on PQ3 at all.

Just an update, we’ve tried to resolve the chat issue, it may take some time to propagate (I see @danac is back in chat but I can’t get in still).

Hopefully it is back up for everyone within the next few hours.

We will look into what happened more on Tuesday.

I hope you’re all having a great weekend despite the GoW chat hiccup.

Thanks for your patience! We really appreciate it.

Hi everyone,

We’ve reported the chat problem to the development team and someone is seeing what they can do about it now.

However, to be completely honest it’s really unfortunate timing as it’s currently Easter Sunday here and we have a 4 day holiday here in Australia (Easter Monday being the last day of the holiday).

So best case someone is able to fix it today, worst case is that one of the team members who normally handles the chat servers will be available again when they’re back from leave on Tuesday Australia time (Monday USA).

Basically we do have team members available but not the ones who can normally handle what’s causing this issue so we’re seeing if there’s anything we can do in the meantime.

I’ll make a known issues article so please follow it for updates if you want to be notified as soon as we have more info:

We need to have a mix of bug fixing and introducing new content or people get bored and do stop playing.

Every update has bug fixing in the schedule.

Greetings, Adventurers!

As we approach Gems of War’s 8th anniversary, we have some exciting things planned for the game, and thought it would be great to share them with our community: the long-time battle-tested warriors, the enthusiastic new recruits, and all those in between.

The graphic below is a small window into our development schedule, showing our best guesses at when updates will release, as well as the names of some of the features in those updates, and the special events we have planned. It doesn’t go into too much detail (yet!), but as each update approaches, we‘ll release more sneak peeks of what’s to come.

Okay… This might just leave you wanting more, and the image below has names that are often a bit more about the theme of an update, rather than details of its contents, so here are a few extra hints about what to expect in version 6.3, Depths Below.

The Depths Below will feature some improvements to how we can interact with Delves in the ...
