Bug Fixes & Improvements

We apologize for the inconveniences caused by critical issues in 2.1.0. We fixed the more critical bugs at the moment, and we will keep working hard to fix the remaining issues in the upcoming version.

  • All Planeswalker abilities, that Activates Gems, causes a board freeze.

  • Cycling a card by pressing the bin button while Drake Haven is on the board causes the card to stay stuck on screen.

  • Faster loading.

    That's a relatively quick fix. Thanks!

    Two questions:
    1) What exactly will be loading faster?
    2) Is there any playtesting before an update is released? I want to know that more than drop rates, future plans or anything else.

    So, no fix for the prevent damage bug? Seems kinda big....

    To be fair that will require a lot of re-writing. It will need recoding how kill spells work as well as how creatures die. Not a speedy process.

    Why should it take a lot of work. They had it correct before with Undergrowth Champion.  It's a bug in this version, revert it to the previous working code, the same with first strike.  They really need some revision control.

    1) It is just general optimization that should make the overall game load a bit faster.
    2) There is a QA team dedicated to the game, however I unfortunately do not know the intricacies of their process. 

    @naphomci

    In order to expedite the 2.1.1 update, the team had to prioritize the critical bugs, which is why the bugs you see listed are the ones that specifically address blockers. (Blockers are bugs that cause crashes, freezes, etc.)

    I am just curious if you were aware of the patch @brigby and the decision was made to not announce it or if you were also caught in the dark?  There are about 4 events going on right now, and 3 that are competitive.  The decision to not announce that you will lose any game you are in during the patch was... poor.

    I agree, some warning would have been nice. I did an easy and perfect game vs 3.2, only for the score screen to tell me "something went wrong" and count it as a loss. Glad I was not playing a pvp event at the time

    @babar3355 @Thuran

    This patch required players to manually enter their respective app stores in order to download the update, so it should not have had an effect on any active games.

    If you are aware of numerous players that encountered this issue at the same time, then please open a thread in the Bugs & Technical Issues section, and I'll be happy to discuss with issue with all of you. Thanks!

    Don't give them trample. That's what is killing them probably.
    Still annoying , just to deal with the situation.

    @Brigby do you know when the story mode problem might be addressed possibly. Like to get those final runes and crystals and be done with it
