    Now guys.

    You did, like, TEST this update before you put it out, right?

    Here it's working. That was the first thing I've checked when update finished.

    It looks like I have to tap a support twice for it to show up. The first time there's a flash on screen. The second time it will flash a little before showing up. Afterwards, I just have to tap that specific support gem once for it to pop up.

    I'm running Android on a OnePlus 2.

    my mistake, (thought it was a server update).

    just updated and it works fine now. looks like improved
    clarity on the gem board too.

    You'll need to own Dovin Baan to battle on the Blue and White Node.

    Couple Questions:

    1. Will the Inventor's Fair come with smaller brackets and/or multiple events for the same prize like they did with the Saheeli Rai events?

    Last event I joined 3 hours before the end in platinum and could see down to ~1700 place, If all plat players are in one bracket, roughly 0.1% of the platinum players can get the reward. Not to mention 5/3000 in Gold and Silver.

    2. Will this be a coalition event? Makes a difference in planning, especially if we have to purchase and level Dovin to even play competitively.
    1. Rooms will have standard brackets (maximum of 3000 players). We'll run the Inventor's Fair Event multiple times - however, the current plan is that each run of the event will have a different exclusive Mythic card. (As always, there's a small chance that the current plan may change.)

    2. There will be Coalition Rewards in the event, but the exclusive Mythic Card will be on the individual leaderboard.

    It's just here or the game become very slow after 40min playing? Animation frame-to-frame...

    So he'll be available in the vault before the event starts then, right?

    In my case the game is quite unplayable now, very laggy and it uses a lot of resources and phone gets very hot...

    Honestly, if you are requiring a specific Planeswalker for an event, it should be pre-loaded into the node.

    Requiring players to buy (potentially without a non-real currency option) a PW in order to play a node is an insulting money grab. Please either gift it to everyone or do as you did for Saheeli's event where she was pre-loaded into the node.

    Also, are there any plans to reduce the graphical issues with the gem board? It's not always headache inducing now, but when there are many servos / energized gems it's still very hard to read the board and causes severly playability issues due to slowness.

    Yup. Same here.

    Each event, one node is set aside for a specific Planeswalker, while the other nodes require a Planeswalker of the appropriate mana affinity.

    In the first Inventor's Fair, the Blue and White Node will be restricted to Dovin Baan.
    With a red and a green node, the new Chandra and the new Nissa seem to look like good candidates for locking down nodes in the event. Will we have to pay real money to purchase those planeswalkers to play the event or will those events not be until the new planeswalkers are available in the vault for manacrystal.png ?

    @hibernum_will: if we need to own Dovin to use him on white/blue for the event will you put him up for sale again so we can purchase him?

    I own Dovin Baan, but this is pretty shameless.

    Having an "entry fee" into your events is not a good policy.

    Wow, just wow.

    A coalition event that you need to have paid $$ for in order to enter? Even if Dovin is available for purchase with crystals in the vault before the event, this is still a very bad idea.

    Some people don't want Dovin because they feel he is too tied to one set or for other reasons (be it saving up for other PWs or just not having runes to level or even crystals).

    On TOP of this, the event is a coalition one which means a lot of people will feel forced to buy him if they don't want to play the event with just 2 nodes and screw over their coalition.

    Not cool guys, not cool.

    this is just silly. you should give everyone Dovin for the event only, and let them build their own decks with him (to avoid the problems saheeli event had). but until you get him for money or manacrystal.png you can't use him outside the event.
    why couldn't this have been done?

    to battle on the Blue and White Node.
    So I have to change my previous statement.

    More greedy than ever forcing people to buy content.

    Next event will be what? You need a specific mythic(of the exclusive list) to even join?

    Yes. Dovin Baan will be available in the vault starting December 29th, the day before the Inventor's Fair, therefore you'll be able to acquire him with crystals.

    I have gone ahead and updated the original post with this new information.

    Thanks. Is his crystal cost locked down yet, or is it still subject to change?

    Brigby,

    Thanks but the real question is, next time you guys lock out nodes for the fair, which pws are required? Chandra v2 or Nissa v2? And will they be available for crystals before the fair or will you force us to buy these pws to compete for the 'exclusive' rewards? If that's the case this is shady business.

    Thanks for the update to bugs and open communication and the old PvE event.

    Since Dovin Baan's vault appearance is still over a week away, I personally do not have that information. If I end up acquiring that info later in the week, I can edit the post to include it.

    Having said that though, dual-colored Planeswalkers have historically cost more than mono-colored, so I personally would speculate that to be true for Dovin Baan as well.
