Gems of War

Two traps for me. I noticed there are also levels to this. No more fast dailies I guess. The time sink is becoming more concerning.

My maths is probably terribly wrong, but there's just under a 20% chance of not getting a trap in your 1st 3 selections (66% x 60% x 50%)
Getting all 3 fights in your 1st 3 selections is around a 5% chance (50% x 40% x 25%)

They really need to stop the RNG bullshit for achievements

More fucking RNG. It never ends...

And Yes, the reward is randomized, I got 68 Dragonite for picking Battle, Battle, Battle. This M-Effing devs. Every update is making me hate this game more.

They need to stop this bs game

Got super lucky and got it on my first try, giving me 82 dragonite.

who comes up with this garbage. this doesnt make the game fun at all

@HellSpawnCF42: Yes, I did it that way. Today I did 2 and 3 on the top row and 1 and 2 on the bottom row. The bonus room were Stairs. I don't know if that matters.

Today I opened top left and top right, both monsters, then middle bottom, which was a treasure room (topaz). I then opened bottom right, the third monster. I fought the battles and got the achievement.

If anyone sees this today (26/8) the bottom three are all the monsters. Idk if it's the same for everyone but they were for me, just thought I'd try and help

What don't people understand about it being RANDOM! Posting what you have doesn't help anyone.

Day 1 first picks = Trap, Trap
Day 2 = Trap, Boon, Trap
Day 3 = Trap, Trap

Fuck me lads I'm the luckiest man alive...

Edit: Got it day 4. Stick with it lads. Good luck ;)

I wasn't aware it was random so there's no point in being a dickhead about it is there dude, fuck me I guess for trying to help

I'm thinking about not returning to gems of war

Did this today 3 fights and a boon and got 83 dragonnite for perfect run but no achievement

Its another luck based random BS achievement. Designed to once again frustrate the player in hopes they spend money on gems to speed up getting yet another new currency.

@mr rodster - 6.5% chance of getting it in 4 actually.
5% chance of getting it in 3

So I was wondering does it matter if you trigger a boon or stairs just no traps to get this?

@ xUND3RTAK3RxRKO "Yes, I did it that way. Today I did 2 and 3 on the top row and 1 and 2 on the bottom row. The bonus room were Stairs. I don't know if that matters."

So it’s random and not random. My buddy got it after I told her what I picked. It was exactly the same set up. Bottom left was to go down stair, top left was a trap, middle top was trap. Middle bottom and both on the right were the battles.


Will see tomorrow if I was lucky to help her get her first clean run or was just a coincidence

Ok thanks Goku

Don't worry samsaBEAR, in the early days of an achievement going live and everyone learning how it works, I think more information is better than "it's just random don't look any further". Because there are games with achievements that look random on the surface but turn out to be predictable to an extent.

I got this today. I had Fight, Fight, Blessing (like a trap but with a positive attribute), Fight. I didn't really pay attention once the blessing turned over as I thought it was a trap so I was super surprised to see the perfect run screen after the third battle.

5 days in a row trap on first pick

2 traps in a row last 3 days this is probably the worst achievement in the game atm.

Hoard mimic is worse

Ive been getting top middle and bottom left and bottom right for the bosses yesterday and today

I found that if you quit out of the game as soon as you select one it won't count

I just tried that and it didn't work how did you do it exactly ?

Yeah, IDK. I haven’t had the whole top row in awhile either, so not sure if it picks up on our picking patterns (can’t imagine it would) or what. Perhaps pick a new set of three and try those for awhile?

I am convinced that the rooms are constantly changing like a slot machine wheel until you open one and lock it in place.

Lol I just got one in the top 3 today

I have tried it too. It doesn't work.
I think he is trolling.

Good luck guys

I thought so lol

fyi, there is a thought going around that the RNG for the dungeon is seeded pretty heavily, basically the idea is each player has weighted dungeon layout, so traps may be in specific spots more frequently. I, for example, have noticed a trap in door 1 for me almost 90% of the days, I don't think I ever had a trap in door 5. If you track your individual dungeon layouts, and consistently avoid picking the doors where traps have shown up the most, it may help. I had 0 perfect runs since the update, started tracking 3 days ago, and just got my first perfect run today. Its not enough data to say whether this will work long term or not, but worst case scenario its still just a 10% chance each day, but best case scenario it could significantly increase the perfect run chance.

last 10 days, trap on first door 9 times, and on second door once.

For about a week or so I went for the top middle and then the bottom middle and the bottom middle was always a trap so today I went top middle, top right and bottom right

I could be wrong on this but maybe if you do one way for awhile and then switch to another randomly like I did the other spots won't have a trap

My fiancee gothicgirl4890 has had the bosses be on the bottom all the way across 3 days in a row 😮

Just got my second perfect run, I HIGHLY recommend tracking where traps show up most often for you. As the person above me said, it seems like certain layouts are much more common for different people, and picking according to a more common layout could greatly improve your chances at a perfect run, and I STILL would not have one if I kept with my 1-2-3-4 opening order.

EDIT: and now a 3rd perfect run, 0 in the first 2 weeks, and 3 in the next 10 days, even if this is just balancing out previous bad RNG, I have to say it feels MUCH better opening the doors this way.

And now a 4th, same layout 3 days in a row.

I wasn't trolling about dashboarding the game, I did it once after opening all of the doors at once and then quit out and loaded it up again the first time I played after this update. The last door was still locked so I figured this might work so I posted it on here. I have tried it since and it doesn't work at all so I probably just got lucky or they immedietly patched it. I rarely touch this game after these rng updates but I keep hoping there will be a work around so I can finally be done with this game.

Schaafy's method worked for me, just keep track of where traps show up most and I finally got my first perfect run.

Finally got a perfect run and the achievement didn’t pop. Ugh.

Finally got this to pop after playing for every day since this update was released.

Schaafy's method worked for me as well. I recorded my runs for around two weeks, and used Google Sheets to determine which room at the highest percentage being a troop from my previous runs.

There is a tool :

and there is a video made by sinnycool how to use it :

I think it's hilarious that AgentZachMorgan was blowing up at everyone in here and then it turned out they were actually the only wrong person participating.

Either way, the devs have confirmed there was a predictable pattern and have now changed the RNG call. As a result, none of these tools will work starting today. 80 dragon resource has been compensated to everybody.

Got a perfect run and no achievement

I was able to get this today with my 1st pick being an enhanced altar card and then next 3 picks were all monsters...i even lost the lvl 60 battle twice and still got the achievement...so can confirm it works with enchantments just as long as u dont get any "trap" cards before the 3 monsters

Finally got it today. I feel so relieved and happy that this pain-in-the-ass achievement is finally mine. It definately helps me recover from a fiasco experience in another game earlier this month.

Is there an achievement for getting a Trap first x number of times?

Three of the last four days, I’ve seen the three boss rooms either be all at the top or bottom. May just keep trying one of those til it pops (again).

I must be extremely unlucky, since I have been at it with the same pattern for over a month, picking the top 3 and just never seem to be able to avoid a trap.

My first one didn’t unlock, but the second one did. Didn’t do anything different between the two, so not sure.
On a side note, just had two days in a row with all top row and perfect runs.

Two perfects for me as well and no cheev....

Just got a perfect run, no achievement.
https://www.xbox.com/play/media/VPLR3V4UCP

Got it on 3rd perfect. Only thing i done different was to NOT open all rooms first, but do 1 at a time, so do fight 1 before opening 2nd room etc. I also had stairs as first room so can confirm they don't void the cheev

By all rooms i meant until 3 fights were on the board, not opening all 6,

Finally got it to unlock after like my fifth perfect run, and I didn't do anything different than the previous ones. I guess it's just finicky for who knows what reason

Mine unlocked fine, I’ve been unlucky with not getting perfect runs before today

Assuming that the Boon room is a blank, meaning it does not count as a Trap for the purposes of this achievement, there is a 10% chance of success on any attempt. Good luck, everybody.

@Cheshire: Nope.

In your first post you correctly note that there is a 20% chance that you are still live after 3 (although you incorrectly state “just under”—it is exactly 20%), meaning you have picked three non-traps. Only 1 out of 4 of those cases is all three monsters, so 5% chance to succeed after 3, as you also correctly identify.

Of the remaining 15%, you get one more try with a 1-in-3 chance of success on your fourth pull. There is thus an incremental total 5% chance, for a total chance of success of 10%. No idea where you get 6.5, or even what you mean by it.

Can anyone confirm that they hit the Boon room plus three Battles and the achievement popped? I.e., the achievement pops for just avoiding the two traps, as opposed to only hitting the three Battle rooms?

@xUND3RTAK3RxRKO - I'm guessing that Willow is referring to dashboarding the game but I don't see how this would work. As the second you select the door it opens and the game does an autosave. So even if you dashboard before it's fully registered what it is, dashboarding and coming back shows it as open and if it was a trap it doesn't count as perfect.

If it is possible, the timing needed for when you dashboard must be almost instantaneous with the moment you select the door. And I don't see how that's possible as the time it takes to open the menu to go to the home screen, the dungeon door is fully loaded as the game doesn't pause in the background.

I tried it today and I couldn't get it work. The trap was still there, the door didn't reclose or anything, and it still negated a perfect run.

Either Willow is trolling (cause if it worked, why don't they have the achievement unlocked?) or they need to go into more details as to the exact timing for this work and what happens when it does.

Is this achievement bugged for anyone else? I've gotten two perfect runs so far, but I have yet to actually get the achievement. Not sure if there's something specific that needs to be done aside from simply killing all three bosses without encountering traps

Curious to see if the reward amount is random for everyone I got 82 Dragonite. If a few people could post there’s as-well just for confirmation. We can stop after a few have been posted no need to fill up the comments section.
