Every patch we’re hoping you’ve fixed the coding of this game so that normal actions taken in this game dont result in matches freezing up and a loss of points. Yet still, the freezes dont get fixed; rather, they get worse with new actions resulting in these freezes.
Replace a token creature? Freeze.
Bounce a creature? Freeze.
Check the battle log during the match? Freeze.
Unintentionally zoom in on the card art? Freeze.
Just lost a game in the Dragon event due to game becoming unresponsive on the ‘Game Paused’ screen. Perfect score until then, now I’ll be like 250th. Why do I pay money for this kind of crushing experience?
+1 on this for visibility. I had to concede at least 4 matches in the event that I could have won with ease due to the game freezing. The latest being after replacing a token with another token. Very frustrating.
If you know the game will lock up, why do you still take those actions? I get that the game should work right, but until the fix is in why keep doing the same thing and then get angry when the same thing happens every time?
@TriForceGuy - because sometimes I’m quicker than my shadow. (Love it when I can use a Lucky Luke reference)
I had to learn to stop looking in the log on Greg’s turn. But I did it a few times and thought dooh just as I did it, because game freezes. I have no idea on how to trigger the zoomed in card art that won’t go away bug, so all I can do is not to trigger card art in game but sometimes you are off when disabling cards.
These bugs are why I’ve largely cut back my spending to near-zero. I’ve also said as much in their player surveys (and additionally added that the bugs are what keeps me from recommending it to friends).
Let’s break them each down and discover just why you can’t avoid them.
Replace a token creature - If the AI gives you a plant, a frog, and a moon, do you then beat the enemy with those tokens? I highly fucking doubt it. Gotta replace those tokens with your own creatures. Game freezes.
Bounce a creature - This includes the AI bouncing your creatures. So either keep Sphinx’s Decree up (Oh, wait, that was bugged too! Better make sure the counter cards aren’t bugged after every update.), keep Jace’s Defeat up, keep Insidious Will up, or run creatureless. Otherwise, it’s going to happen. Game freezes.
Check the battle log during the match - Likely the easiest one to avoid but then again, sometimes you just need to check to see if you hit the secondaries before you swing that hammer for the win. Game freezes.
Unintentionally zoom in on the card art - If the goddamn art that no one asked for couldn’t be zoomed in on during a match, this wouldn’t be an issue. But if you just so happen to tap a centimeter in the wrong direction while moving around cards in your hand, boom, card art. Game freezes.
Rearrange your hand - Just never rearrange your hand guys! You play the cards exactly in the order that they are drawn. Oh, you want to swap cards arround? Game freezes.
If only the game existed in a state where these bugs were entirely possible to avoid. It doesn’t and they aren’t. This game is so fan-fucking-tasticly broken in it’s code that it’s a goddamn miracle WotC allows their IP to be used by this company.
