This glitch is SOOO easy to perform I'm not even going to use a screenshot.

If you use a parasites active ability "Infection", and then cancel it, you will not be able to use it again that turn. The resource consumed is not returned - even though it did nothing. Try it once - it's a glitch!

this does not happen with parasite, it happens with every activated ability.
Basically, what you used to be able to do, was activate and cancel an ability in quick succession;
it'd fail to consume quanta every time, effectively making you able to generate quanta.

This solution is kind of a cookie-cutter, but it's been here for a long time now.
Just keep it in mind while playing.
be quick- time is quanta.

That's a really annoying glitch, and it make the game kinda broken, as you can just 100% waste resources. And if you missclicked, then you have no chance to use the ability that turn which can lose you an entire match (particularly if it's powerful).

I think this might be a priority for fixing.

i think it works as intended for the ability?

u can't cancel when u play a card from your hand, same for the skill (and i know a lot of ccg where the cancel button doesn't exist at all)

even if the cost of the quanta is wasted, how many times can make u lost the match? one match every ten? i think is too much saying

and it make the game kinda broken

in a game with an inactive developer with the servers that are still up and works really well, outside this and the chimera bug

This isn't a glitch. This is a countermeasure against a glitch. Besides, if anything, it provides a punishment for not strategizing well.

And Zanz made this intentional. He isn't going to remove his solution to a legitimate problem where you could generate quanta using only a creature with that ability cost to solve a small problem - not even - where you cannot undo a click.

I'm not suggesting you remake the glitch. I am suggesting you fix the glitch... and make it so that missclicking doesn't cost you a match. Mouse errors do happen.

Not a glitch, if you make a wrong decision, you pay for it.

Any activation of a creature's ability is definite, if you change your mind, the quanta's lost.

Always been that way, never been subject to change.
