Title: Hourglasses Failed
Post by: AiBerry on January 19, 2010, 10:16:16 pm
Both of my Electrum Hourglasses started failing in a game against Miracle.

I managed to catch the animation. The hourglass animates, I lose the time quanta, but no card is drawn.

If you couldn't tell, I was mutating his dragons >>

EDIT:

SCRATCH THAT. The hourglasses were drawing, but no cards were showing up. Behold:

Note it says discard.

EDIT again:
When I clicked on one of the outlines, I lost.

Had you been using the glasses with a full hand before this?

I accidentally drew a card with a full hand once. Do you think that did it?

Yes, that does it. It draws a card from your deck but it is invisible and you can't recover the lost card. You discard your hand down to seven cards but because you had drawn an invisible card, you ended your turn with eight cards in hand. so next turn when you ended your turn, you had to discard a card, and the invisible card was shown as an outline. It's an awful bug, but is easily prevented if you pay attention to your hand size before you draw.

Eep I didn't realize it turned into something that bad. I'd done it a while ago when I didn't know we wouldn't get the extra card, but it didn't completely destroy the game. :/ I'll pay more attention next time then, I suppose.
