Gems of War

Right there with you.

This Achievement is buggy

Played it with another account and have already collected more than 400 green currencies

Oh well that is annoying. I did the first story then got the 300 kills and the achievement.has not popped. Hopefully it will when the next story part unlocks

Definitely bugged. Well over 500 “currency” for me.

Do you think the counter will move in 2+ days when you can do the battles all over again?

Hope so.

I can confirm that winning an explore battle on Forest of Thorns gives you 2 Forest Herbs

BTW: Doing challenges gives you 3 Forest Herbs instead of 2 on the explore battles. I am doing it Level 1 and gives you more than explore in LVL 8

I am so sick of this game developer. Has to be one of the worst code writing ever. Nothing new they do ever works right. Looks like that continues to hold true with this latest garbage update

I just popped the achievement! Thanks for the quick suggestion. I played only 1 Legends Reborn battle before reading this, but then just did Explore 2's. I noticed my tracker didn't move, but I continued until I hit 300/300 Forest Herbs from Explore 2's. After two Legend Reborn battles, the achievement popped. Thanks!

I had earned 77 before even starting Legends Reborn, my tracker still showed 0%. I played Legends Reborn and it went up to 22% by the time I finished.

It has not moved at all for anything obtained outside of replaying the quest line for me.

FaSCoRP How many enemy green troops are in the battle determines how many herbs you collect. Does not matter the mode. Ideally doing all your battles in Forest of Thorns will net you them the quickest as most of the troops use green mana.

Looking at the Gems forum it seems that the counter only updates during your progression of the Story.
So if you've not played the quest line - yet - it will update.
I'm in the same space as above - I'm stuck at 20% having completed the quest storyline.

I do hope it will resolve itself Thursday (if not earlier!) when the new Legends Reborn story is available.

I messed up, was hoping to do all 5 stories this morning. Then grind forest of thorns explore 1.

Little did I know, it stopped my progression after the first story 🙄 so on to tomorrow and hopefully it gets fixed. An tracks for me

thanks worked great

Hopefully the hotfix sorts it out as the devs for this game are pretty good at resolving things and giving compensation. In the same position of just hit 300 and not got it as I did the quests

Unlocked after the first fight of the 2nd story whilst having over 300 herbs. For anyone who couldn’t get it to unlock during the first story.

I had the same experience as Was I That Bad

mine unlocked also after the 1st battle.

Same here

can confirm the same experience. Popped doing the first battle in the event and having over 300 hayfever pods.

You don't need to do the 300 kills before starting the event. Just get them before you finish the first play trough of legends reborn. When I started I had 66, went for the 300 then it unlocked later. No problem. Also If you get a battlecrasher and the game "Soft locks on reward screen" you may or not get credit for it. Stupid devs.

I played through the 1st and 2nd rounds of the event and eventually getting the 300 kills after the second play. My tracker stayed at around 68% until the 3rd round of the event occurred. Played on match and it popped. Seems like a very odd way for it pop. But thats Gems.

what is this 300 kills you guys are talking about, i started this event yesterday, and im on the 3rd playtrough now, and i have like 140/300 "credits", but the fights are getting harder, so i suspect im going to stall out here.

@rocking23nf, the kills are the credits. If you go into the event, there is a progress bar on the right saying "a number/300". You get one credit for each green enemy you kill, in any kind of battle. When you get into battle, you see a little plant on the bottom of each green enemy's card. Kill them, get a credit towards the 300. Get all 300, get the achievement.

Legends reborn event is on now, week commencing 26th Feb 2024.

For me I had only done half the story before having the rewards page lock up issue which they are now investigating. My progress stopped after that at about 20%. After playing the game longer, it started going up again but then had the rewards crash again at 49%, it had still been going up after finishing the story for me.

I think the rewards crash resets the achievement progress to 0, so it only goes up again when you get past where you were again. When the tracker started working again it was in line with the amount of currency I had on the in game tracker. I am only at the 140 range so part of me hopes if I get the in game to 300 without any more crashes, that might force it to catch up with itself by surpassing the amount of currency I had before.

MESSAGE FROM A DEVELOPER

Jeto - Gems of War Dev - Support Human - 1h

Hey everyone,

I thought I would create one post for this announcement and then cross-share it in the relevant threads as these are all linked.

This past week some of the main issues that have been reported are:

Soft locking on reward screen (rewards are still received)
Achievement for “If I Were A Rich Man” not progressing
Incorrect resource displayed in Legends Reborn event, and not the Forest Herb (event progress is collected - graphical issue)
Also, the Battlecrasher missing from the Journey Event while the Vault event was running over the weekend. While it has already been addressed, just wanted to mention it here as it was also a critical issue. Compensation for this has since been sent out to all players

This is not to say there have not been other issues, but these have been the main ones I’m mentioning here, which will make sense in just a moment!

We have found the cause and fix for the 3 listed issues above, initially, these could only be fixed in a client update (not till v6.5) but the team is pushing them to go out in a hotfix as soon as possible.
The fixes for these issues are still being processed, though we’re hopeful that we can get a hotfix out by mid next week.

If there is any further update on this, I’ll edit this post or comment below.

Again, appreciate everyone’s patience as you see me zooming through the forums. I do have a number of tabs open with some other issues I am working to get replies/answers to currently as well!
