I've been trying to play the Doomskar event tonight, and of my first 9 games, I have 1 win, 1 loss, and 7 instances of the game freezing! Very frustrating! This usually happens pretty early in the game, even once on my first turn.

Hoping I'm able to get something out of the event. :(

    This much freezing is WAY too much. We've seen it too, while playing. "/

    Our team is off for the weekend so I cannot promise any fix during the next few days, ofc, but we are aware and will address it asap.

    Thanks for letting us know about it and, please eveybody, tell us any details you have about it:
    Battle Log if possible, what cards were just played by your or Greg, the whole list of your deck and what PW you were playing, screencap of the battlefield etc. This helps us A LOT.

    It's been happening to me as well. Literally after the first swap, it will freeze. This was on both the Foretell and Snow nodes.

    I had freezes immediately at the beginning of my opponents first turn two times
    One while I was just considering what to do next and one after casting a wish
    4 out 4 matches frozen after not more than 5 turns
    Playing the foretell node
    Now I am out of health potions

    Please consider removing the event

    Here are some hints I gathered:
    Snow node
    When the permanent support gem is matched or when it is involved indirectly by a 5 match causing it to change the color, the game freezes prior to that color change.
    Foretell node
    The game freezes on card draw
    I played a day's undoing. All cards were removed and prior drawing the first card the game freezed.
    But this may not be true everytime. I'll watch and update here

    Got screenshots from a freeze on the Snow node:
    No cards played yet

    Update
    foretell node: matching the permanent support causes sometimes a freeze
    most often the freeze happens when a card reaches full mana and shoukd be cast
    players first turn is ok though

    I can't even login to the game right now, first it said it was my Facebook password or account not allowed. I tried just now and it won't even let me attempt to login...

    Got the freeze on film, it was always when the event support was matched, I had five in all and finished on 130. Rubbish.

    One big issue in surviving this freeze is to hinder greg from matching the permanent support as he prefers to do so.

    The event is simply not playable

    You scored 150 points, how do you did it, if it was not playable? Just a little kidding. Sorry.

    Ok, this event on both bottom nodes was more about "can I stop Greg from matching that permanent support until I win", than a usual coalition event.
