Tokens in 1.7

shteev

Something serious seems to be going on with Tokens recently. I think it's new to 1.7, because I haven't noticed the problem before, but it could be older than that.

Lots of reports are coming on of the game freezing when tokens die. At the moment, because Avacyn's Madness is going on, it's usually Wolf tokens and Devil tokens, but I've heard reports of Thopter tokens causing the problem as well. Thing in the Ice flipping and causing tokens to die seems dangerous.

Last night I shot 2 Wolf tokens with a Ruinous Path (without awaken), and the game froze. This morning I shot 2 Wolf Tokens with a Grip of Desolation and it froze again. It's possible that both these freezes were caused by Silverfur Partisan.. there was definitely one in play this morning, and I *think* there was last night too?

Anyone else having token problems?

Ohboy

I keep freezing when castigstor suicides on my octopuses.

Could be related.

Ok pretty sure my own Wolf token problems on the 'Soul Swallower' level of Avacyn's Madness are being caused by Siverfur Partisan now.

When a Siverfur Partisan and some Wolf tokens were in play, I first shot the Silverfur with a grip of Desolation, and got no freeze... then I shot the Wolf tokens with a Ruinous Path, and again, no freeze.

Pretty sure there's a bug with the "gain +4/+4" portion of Silverfur Partisan. It doesn't gain the buff when you destroy any other wolf creature and instead causes the game to freeze.

My game has occasionally frozen when the opponent has tried to kill my crush of tentacles octopuses... Same thing has happened with wolf tokens. You are not alone! I wonder whether speeding up the token animation also stuffed something up in their coding.

Main problems for me have been:

Devil tokens (2 freezes)
Octopus tokens from Crush of tentacles (2 freezes)
Silverfur and wolf tokens (1 freeze)

Plus one freeze from grip of desolation

So that's SIX just in one Event (and the event hasn't finished yet!)

Absolute Joke!

Totalky quote.

I though this patch to be a great one, I am reconsidering it now.

The token bug is spread all over and not even "avoidable".
I knew of some things that could cause it and I knew how to avoid it.
This was pre 1.7.

Now okens just freeze the game at random.

I got a freeze for an octopus dying to a castigator.
No special effects or spells or bounce involved. Just that.

You can't even build non token decks to avoid it cause MOST OF THE EVENT FIGHTS use some kind of token as first skill or spell.
This issue needs a fix NOW!

This has been going on since before 1.7, just for the record. I posted on it and submitted support tickets, and was told it was a known issue.

Simply, killing or bouncing tokens can freeze the game, but it's seemingly happening at random.
