Seize the Day left node not counting graveyard cards

Counter for graveyard cards incremented by 1 each turn. Perhaps it's counting turns instead of cards.

Note that the event support did function properly. I ended the game with 30+ in my graveyard. 

Edit: It appears as if it's counting the number of supports in graveyard

    I don't think 1 a turn is necessarily accurate: I'm here on turn 13 according to battlelog (turn 7 according to objective) and the graveyard says it has 9 cards in it (when there are really 40, and I can see all of them in the graveyard).

    Same, counter not tracking all cards. 

    Maybe a coincidence but in my case the counter was equal to the number of *support* cards in my graveyard

    • Which Event is being analyzed: Seize the day

    • Which Node? Left

    • Event supports: Gravestorm

    • Planeswalker and Cards used to reproduce the bug: Angrath but most likely irrelevant

      At turn 10 I had 50 cards in my graveyard but the objective counter was only showing 16/20. Of the 50 cards in my GY 10 were creatures, 24 were spells and 16 were supports

    Clearly, some players have figured out how to get around this bug, because there are quite a number on 30pts after having played 3 games. I'm on 27 pts (obviously losing the '20 cards in graveyard' objective), which currently puts me in 25th place.

    This concerns me, as it seems likely I will slip further down the leaderboard because of this bug as the weekend goes on, and Customer Support's general policy is that they will only provide you with prizes for one bracket higher than you achieved because of a bug (at least the last time I interacted with them)

    i hate to see my favourite event blighted in this way!

    Are decks with song or Phenax able to reach the objective?

    Those cards are not legal in Seize the Day. 

    It is only counting the supports I had in GY towards the objective. 

    This is starting to feel awful, frequently losing many resources to these bugs.
    As stated above, you can never get rank 1 back through a CS ticket. The rewards for other events have been meager lately. 

    It almost seems that by not changing the “winner takes all” rank system, bracket sizes, or compensating fully for bugs, it is also part of the policy to choke off resources. Very sad. I won’t be spending any more money until the ranking/reward system is fixed, or full compensation for bugs. My conscience won’t let me. 
    Feels like we’re being pushed towards spending money from every angle, even on the compensation policy.

    The constant breaking of existing, working code is one of the worst aspects of this game's maintenance. I'm very much with you on not spending money... I certainly wouldn't buy VIP, no matter how much I'd like those deck slots.

    What the heck, this goal was working fine in all previous iterations of the event. Not only they introduce bugs with new cards, seems that they even start to introduce bugs in things which worked properly before.

    I agree. There must be compensation every time a bug occurs that prevents the majority if not everyone from possibly ranking in 1st or close to it, even if those players happen to legitimately lose fights or objectives in other areas of the event, simply because justice must be served and everyone deserves a fair opportunity. Now people will be scored even worse than their own doing, and in a case like this where every match with the bugged objective, keeps lowering a person's rank greatly each time around, people are getting double jacked over, triple! These events are what get us our currency other than spending money, and if the game is going to bug out because of the developer's failures, the players should absolutely be compensated, and if they're not, it only comes off as a blatant attempt to FORCE people to spend money just to remain in the race.

    It happened to me as well just a bit ago. I was using Nicol Bolas. I first noticed 21 cards in my graveyard and 2 in my exile on turn 5 and the objective said 2 of 20. Next turn I noticed 26 in my grave and 3 in exile (from me having removed 3 cards from my hand overall) and the objective said 3. Next on the same turn I was able to Traumatize myself and place 10 cards in my grave from what was one of several ways I'd used aside from the resilient event gem, and I looked again to see 40 cards in the grave and 5 of 20 for the objective. With this event being one of the very few that ever come around that offer decent ranking rewards, for it to be bugged out like this, there should most definitely be compensation absolutely  NO Less than first place rewards for that's what we all could have earned with our time and effort, even if it means nobody has to a do a single other fight for the remainder of the event. That's called justice. Oh I forget the added bonus we should be given for our troubles aside from providing us 1st place rewards. That's just how it should go in all fairness.

    It does look like it's counting only supports, and not all cards in your graveyard.

    The thing, even though I know this now, it's too late for me to change my Planeswalker into one which is better at throwing cards into the graveyard. 20 supports is a lot.

    Players who started the event late will be able to do this, however.

    I was stuck with Karn, but swapped in a couple of shrines for the node, then just hand-exiled them to GY. 
    Traumatize with Mirari as well.

    Dwarven shrine is pretty useful competitively, and the Cephalid one actually surprised me a bit. I didn’t think it would work very well, just had it to pad the GY with supports. However, it did drain Greg’s mana quite a bit. I may keep a shrine in the deck even after this bug is gone.

    Hopefully, I’ll still end up in 6-25, & get bumped back up to rank 1-5 by CS. 🤞

    Can confirm the same issue. Game registered only supports that got into the graveyard. Lost a bunch of points because of that.
  • TarthrinTarthrin Posts: 21 Just Dropped In
    I had the same issue. Was stuck with Chandra and could not get cards to register with discard mechanics or exiling from my hand. Since I was locked into red I could not try it with black cards such as corpse churn.

    This issue is already confirmed and will be fixed as soon as possible!

    Thank you for the heads up,
    Marcela.

    Thanks! I haven't bothered to file a ticket with support for lost earnings because of the terrible policy of only bumping you up one bracket. Hope that changes in the future!

    You should though @critman !
    60 Mana Crystals and 5 Mana Jewels for reporting, sound good to me 😆

    You're assuming I came in the second bracket, but I lost a game trying to play around the bug.

    They won't compensate me adequately for that.

    This issue was fixed with the 4.5.1 release.
