Westvale Abbey + Gem Swaps [WA: Devs Aware]

So, I encountered two bugs in one match of Nodes of Power. The first was when the AI had a 3-gem match and got an extra swap - I am positive it was only a match of only three gems.

Then, later in the match, the AI cast Westvale Abbey. And when it transformed, the Demon's toughness seemed to be much too high:

The Abbey side was knocked down to 3 toughness before the switch; I'm guessing that the system added that to the Abbey's normal 35 toughness when setting values after the switch. Only a guess based on addition though. Anyone else experience this sort of bug with transforming cards?

There was definitely no effect in play that would have added toughness to anything.

    Hi

    Did you know that this:
    AXXX
    AXXX
    AXXX
    XAAA
    counts as a single 5+ match of 'A's? You'll also get 6+bonus mana from it not 2x(3+bonus) mana. This is a common source of seemingly gratuitous extra turns. Note that you can't make that shape from one swap it has to be part of a chain reaction.

    If that wasn't it then you've found something new, but also something almost completely impossible for them to reproduce.

    Re Westvale Abbey flipping, I've seen that too, in fact I'd go so far as to say I've never seen it flip to the correct P/T that I can remember (note that I've only ever played against it not with it).

    I'm not sure I'm entirely certain of what you're describing. But if you mean making one match that leads to a second auto-match when the gems are replaced, then that is not what happened. It was a single match of 3 black gems only, and nothing else was matched.

    That was the first time I'd seen Westvale Abbey played; I was assuming it was a one-off glitch, but (perhaps unsurprisingly) I guess not. icon_e_smile.gif

    Thanks for the reply.

    my only experience of a match 3 allowing an additional
    match is when it comes from a gem converter or
    planeswalker ability. (having said that I've always
    assumed that an additional match after a match 3 is
    because that match 3 was from a gem converter)

    When it comes to the Westvale Abbey transform bug, the development team is aware of this and there is an active bug report in the database.

    When it comes to the Gem Swap bug, was it by any chance 3 energized gems with Gonti's Aether Heart on the board?
