Bolas 1 Third ability now has a "not now/select" dialog - solved by clicking the opponents pw

naabaldan

in my bottem left node of the current war event i played bolas one using his 3rd ability to bring back the first creature form my graveyard to the board. A discription of the ability with a not now/select dialog appears. but there is nothing to choose from. You can't access the graveyard nor is it meant or needed. At least you can press not now and continue, but bolas third is gone, unusable.

From programmer to programmer: never change a classes behavior without knowing it effects to their childs using its methods.

I had a similar thing happen, I think is was with Bolas1 also but I can’t recall now.

anyway, I selected my planeswalker and then the not now/select box disappeared. It may not work in your situation but it did for me.

i pressed not now to continue. But that is not the case.

It is unbelievable to see changes to well implemented abilites just going down th drain by changing something somewhere without reminding the possible side effects it could have.

As of a coalition members test the solution is to select the oppenents pw to continue.

@naabaldan - great to hear, you found a solution! Sadly after a lost match.

I suppose MTGPQ is transitioning more to the puzzle aspect, sigh. So now the challenge is to determine how well-known functionality is working after a unpublished change is implemented.

@brigby - may I recommend a versioning tool and a change management process to keep track of changes, by making the individual developer responsible for their own changes, so you can improve the quality control?
