Hi all,
You can check out the latest announcement about the planned changes involving the 'capping' of Gem stats here
This is not an update, but I've opened this discussion just so y'all can air your thoughts on the statistic release.

1. All fire gems for commander
2. All fire gems for castellan
3. All high level flank gems. (most high level players have several commanders with 102 flank bonuses)
4. All secure storage gems (these were already totally worthless however)
So if you've spent a ton of time and money getting lvl 11 reduce fire gems like I have, they are all rendered completely worthless by this update. No sane person is going to put lvl 11 fire gems on a Ice cast. Since you can easily make a 90 90 50 less fires castellan, gems are worthless. GGE, please delete all reduce fire gems from the possibility of attaining, they have no value of any kind to anyone now. Just like secure storage gems. Please delete those also.
There aren't many valuable gems after this update. No one is going to need lvl 11 gems of any kind except Cy ones. The rest are worthless.
I realize GGE is trying to make things right. This is not a complaint thread, I'm just letting them know some of the consequences, intended or not intended of offering no compensation for all that work. I know I can take the extra flank gems I'll be able to remove and make another, which will sort of compensate.
I'm speechless. Unbelievable.
Way to ruin the game, way to throw all our efforts and hard work in garbage.
After countless events and hours spent to get the best there is, the regular way, this is what it has come down to.
There's no compensation that would make any of this right after they put in motion this update.

And what about those players who spent MONEY to get something that does not work?
You know what this game started to make me nervous instead of fun. I never minded to spend money on fun which made your monthly salary largely I guess, but I see my "roadmap" will have to take another direction since -as I said in another thread - there is no reason to invest (money, time, energy) into something that uncertain.
Why not? Can make a 90/90 50fire 40% troops to wall or you can make a 90/90 100wall 100gate 90moat 15% troops to wall 40% fire reduction. Plus I already have 2 complete ice champ sets sitting in storage, I'd have to spend the time finding equipment for a 90/90 -50fire. When this new update happens personally I'd prefer to put my fire gems on an ice champ set, but I can understand why people would go the other way. Both have strengths and weaknesses, I don't think putting fire gems on an ice champ set is insane.
Ang or any CM if you're reading this just to clarify... I believe somewhere you said the cost of removing gems would be free temporarily? If you make this huge change to gems and not allow us to remove gems for free it will be a big mistake.
Sorry, I had to run as soon as I posted the main announcement, and I didnt' have time to setup this discussion thread at the time

It really depends how you have placed the gems currently, i.e. now you could add 44% fire reduction's worth of gems to a 90/90 -70% loot casty (and therefore have close to the max overall - -50% fire damage -70% loot) and take out some of the attackers along with reducing the loot and damage easily.
Secure storage gems haven't had any changes made to their stat cap if you have another read of the announcement
Hi @paka33 (PL1)
Heroes will not be included in these stat caps, as they generally apply to a specific thing, such as 'vs NPCs' or 'in outposts', also the specific problem GGE are trying to solve (the over-powered combinations) is generally caused by gems, rather than heroes, specifically multiple copies of the same gem being added to one set (you can only have one hero..)
Gate for casty wasn't included in the stat list, as there isn't a gem which boosts the gate statistics in the game at the moment at least.
Hi @Canucks (GB1)
There will be some form of compensation available when the update is launched, however it is still quite a way off, so the details of the compensation cannot be guaranteed right now, hence why there is nothing detailing this in the announcement.
@Dricky (US1)
Angus... Out
1. "Additional unpredictable balancing risks that would be spotted only once it hits the live servers."
So by this remark, are you stating you can GUARANTEE NO UNPREDICTABLE BALANCING RISKS once all these changes hit the live server? Are you even going to TEST these changes BEFORE THEY HIT THE LIVE SERVER?
2. "We would also like to confirm that, as part of the compensation, you will have the chance to remove the gems for free for a few weeks and the general prices for this action will be decreased permanently afterwards. Additional information and details on the compensation will be shared at a later date."
Part of WHAT compensation, EXACTLY? So, in addition to the money, time, and effort that players spent to achieve these gems, you are going to charge them an ADDITIONAL cost to remove them, once the so called "free" period has expired?
This is probably the most absurd update to your game yet. First you p*** off players who received bans who did not deserve them, and now you are slashing their efforts to become the very best they could be requiring enormous time, effort and money.
Above poster is right... TIME TO FIND A NEW GAME.
To be honest, I'm going to be very hesitant going forward making anything if GGE is going to undo all my hard work. Has GGE considered any coin compensation for situations like these?
if players praise GGE you will reply and if players doubt GGE you will just delete there comments and posts
who the **** are you to do this?
