I'm getting weird color corruption on Gems of War on my Galaxy S6, anyone else seen this? It's only on certain interface elements, mainly load screens, and it looks kind of like the color depth is set wrong.

It works fine on my S5.

How big are the bonuses on the bears you're using? I think I had 3 bears giving over 300% final bonuses each and I got it on my second try (just yesterday). I have been stuck on the Animal Chapter for a long time though.

Gems of war chat:

I think I found basically the best team.

Webweaver
Valkryie
Lady Sapphira
Hero with the eye Xanthenos (blue/purple)
With Whitehelm hometown (+2 yellow each yellow match)

I sure there are stronger teams, but this team kills things reliably, fairly quickly, and most important increase your rewards per match immensely. Valkyrie can use her ability in two yellow matches. And at level 15, she gives 4 souls each time you use her ability. That is same as a normal match's soul rewards. It is not unusually to get 16-20 souls without prolonging the match. Then Webweaver gets fed by Valkryie and use its huge board color change and does AOE damage + posion. If you get it right it you can get 4-5 cast in a row. Which usually fuels everyone on your team, deals a hit or two, and fairly frequently gets you a free map. Lady sapphira and hero are just there for cleaning up and backup plan. Lady deals true damage so it works really well with poison. The hero is just there because valkyrie will fill him up as well and he covers the last color. Usually every two Valkryie cast gets me the hero's ability.

Long story short, I get about 12-16 extra souls and about 30-50 extra gold per match. And every 5-10 matches or so I get a free map.

I got next to nothing for a while, but I've been getting some good ones lately. Heck, one of the ones I got in the last few days was 70-something cents! So just don't worry about it; it's not like you have to keep checking it.

There was an update today that majorly changed bear leveling, sleep times, scoring, etc. If you hadn't updated when you wrote this, do so and try again.

That boss is brainy bear. You get werebears every time for getting a silver egg when battling him. If you splurged for the $5 infinite honey, then purposely don't beat him yet. Get a crapheap of werebear upgrades. Get that son of a bitch werebear up to 500% if you have the patience, because it's worth it. (Similarly, the chapter 5 boss gives brainy bears as the only silver prize. Brainy Bear rapidly becomes a monster. He gets to 610% at level 7 post-update).

Anyway, then go at the Chapter 5 boss with werebear and either octobear or hexabee. Plus anyone else that helps you make long words (like more S's). With octobear, each turn is like banging your head against a wall, but you should be able to get a very high score.

Also here's a list of 8 letter words containing two y's.

Thanks for the tips. I noticed today that they'd updated the ratings. My werebear is already up to 400% from banging my head on the brainy boss but I guess there's always room to grind him even further up.

No, it's dumb, I agree, but you can't partial pay using Google Credit. Has to be greater than or equal to the purchase price.

Are you a white guy? That demo is pretty oversaturated on Rewards, obviously, so fewer surveys. My wife, OTOH, has been getting 3 a day for the last two weeks and is up to $17.

Same with mine. I keep telling her to buy Galaxy Trucker so we can play together :argh:

EDIT: I kind of wish they asked about my job or work, so that maybe I could provide insight into stuff like that, like a lot of people could. But I guess it doesn't involve me shopping or spending money in places, so maybe they never will.

Why are you wife/family having people not sharing a google account for the appstore.
I have a generic thesalads@gmail.com account that I use to tie our calendars and play accounts with so that if one of us buys something the other one gets access to it.

(EDIT: Actually, I re-read what you wrote, and see what you mean, I initially thought you were saying that app sharing was a thing (like what Steam does with family sharing), but you're not. Ok, disregard the first part of my post below)

I didn't even know this was a thing, but then again, could we both access the same account at the same time to play multiplayer with each other? If not, that doesn't really help the situation I brought up.

tater_salad
Sep 15, 2007


I've never had a problem with it for the limited multiplayer things that I've done with games purchased with the shared account.

The way it seems to work is that the purchase is tied to the thesalads@gmail.com account

If I were to register for a game's multiplayer system then I use whatever e-mail I want, I can't think of anything that forces me to use the google purchase account.

If the game is Google play based I can still tie it to the google play account I have as my personal e-mail address, and my wife her's (so we don't overwrite progress)

This looks really fun but $7 is a bit steep for a game I might only play for a day or two. Think I'll wait to see if someone here reviews it or the price comes down.

The numbers are ugly and the sprites aren't quite the same, plus the animations in battle are sped up, but the touch controls are fine.

I complained earlier in the thread about it dropping from my memory, but so far that hasn't happened once after the S6 update.
