Why can't I steal or destroy certain weapons? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=393.msg3383#msg3383

I know that some weapons (or shields) are immaterial or say that they can't be destroyed, but I've recently found that I have been unable to steal or destroy weapons that are NOT immaterial (pulverizer and lobotomizer are the two most recent).

For example, today I tried to use pulverizer to destroy a lobotomizer, but when I clicked pulverizer to activate the destroy ability, it would not let me select the lobotomizer. There was no symbol or anything like that on the lobotomizer indicating that it had been made immaterial (or similar).

Yeah, it only happened in PvP to me, but it seems to happen kind of often.

Is there a place to report bugs?

Yeah, what's happening is that you likely already destroyed the lobotomizer, but you got desynched and on your opponent's end you never did that.

So when he uses it to lobotomize your creatures, the game magically pops up another on his end, but you can't do anything about it anymore.

It can get really nasty if desynch occurs with devour or buffs for example... this usually leads to both of you thinking you wiped or controlled the opponent's field of creatures and have a healthy field on your own end, and the game responds by respawning every creature that died to one of your desynched cards each and every time you kill it. You often notice that your opponent disconnects eventually... it's usually because on his/her end, they won the game.

Down the bottom of the main page. It's called pest control.

This happens every once in a while, more often in PvP games, though. It's a glitch that can't be fixed unless they play another weapon on top of the old one. I hate it when this happens, but it's not necessarily game breaking, and doesn't seem to happen as often to me, at least.

This happens often to me, but more so with the shield and weapon.  Almost always game breaking when It's the shield. (pvp)

Yes, I've experienced all of the desynch problems now (I checked the bug forum and found a list of them). Thanks for all the replies!

I was playing a PvP game recently and one of my creatures suddenly moved to my opponent's side of the board.

It was a mindflayer. Talk about gamebreaking.  :P
