Test Server 2.8506 (all known card bugs fixed)

[Gondorian]

Hey folks!

Thanks to everyone reporting the card bugs they found over the past few months, we've been able to investigate and fix those bugs to get us to a point where all the KNOWN ones are gone. There could be more lurking, of course, but the known ones appear to be gone.

As with all software, there's a period of testing we need to go through to ensure the fixes are good and haven't broken anything else. This is where you can help. Head over to test.shadowera.com and play some games (you will probably need to arrange Custom Matches) and then report any bugs you find here. I'll update below with any you find and then I will investigate and fix as many as I can.


NEWLY FOUND BUGS IN 2.8506

* Belladonna has arcane damage when it should be sword. (This has been in the game since forever and will have affected some arcane type cards.) FIXED in 2.8507.
* Fleet-footed Messenger ALWAYS give back the card you put in deck if your deck has EXACTLY 3 cards. FIXED in 2.8507
* Ghostmaker doesn't trigger twice if damage other than combat damage happened in combat. (Doesn't work with Violet Thunderstorm or Threbin.) FIXED in 2.8507.
* Healing Touch owned by opponent but controlled by you should LEAVE attachments you control and REMOVE attachments opponent controls. FIXED in 2.8507
* Holy Shield does not prevent an ally from being killed if it is killed by non-damage. FIXED in 2.8507 (Holy Shield temporarily grants ally minimum of 1HP while attached, since 0HP always means dead in Shadow Era.)
* Lythian Sledgehammer effect not working on last durability. FIXED in 2.8507.
* Mimic to should exile its target card even if player chooses to cancel casting it. FIXED in 2.8507.
* Mimic is not properly checking target cards for whether they can be cast. FIXED in 2.8507.
* Raikka's fire damage for friendly allies only lasts until end of the turn. FIXED in 2.8507.
* Rod of Smiting is not showing attack icon correctly. FIXED in 2.8507.
* Shard of Power is causing allies in hand and in graveyard to display with 1HP. FIXED in 2.8507.
* Twilight Champion will grow if you view and close the graveyard, based on number of Twilight allies in it. FIXED in 2.8507.
* What Big Teeth is showing the attack value in a white box instead of a claw like the unzoomed attack icon. FIXED in 2.8507.
* When Wulven Scout enters play without being summoned, you don't always get to see the opponent's hand that turn. It works correctly as of your next turn. CAN'T REPRODUCE (worked fine for me)
* Xar Modulator returning Backstab or Silent Strike from graveyard draws a card. FIXED in 2.8507.

KNOWN BUGS THAT ARE NOT CARD-RELATED:

Other Misc Bugs:

* Drag and drop capability still inconsistent
* Disconnection from server bug. Details here
* Gets logged out of game when receiving a call on mobile phone
* Autocast bug still exists
* Using a hero ability too quickly (possibly while animations are still in effect) could cause the player to lose the SE without the effect of the ability
* Hard to see the top card of deck displayed because of meat wagon
* Playing against AI still buggy
* In Deckbuilder menu while building a deck doubleclick on a card disables the drag and drop feature to add cards, until you doubleclick again.
* Game still gets stuck waiting
* Unstable in IPhone
* Resizing the game window on the mac can sometimes make the END TURN button disappear.


ASSUMED FIXED for 2.8506 because couldn't reproduce (possibly fixed by other bug fixes):

* Anmor's Call - Does not trigger when ally is killed by Zaladar's ability. Can't reproduce on 2.85
* Aramia - when your deck contains no items that can be summoned but there are 3cc items in your graveyard, her ability can bring it back from grave. Can't reproduce on 2.85
* Decoy Trap - doesn't trigger with Mind Control (details here). Can't reproduce on 2.85 (does correct behaviour)
* Embers of the Just - the damage from this is reduced to one by Rider of Ellos; appears to be doing combat damage instead of ability damage. Can't reproduce on 2.85
* Energy Extraction - Killing opponent hero by using Energy Extraction on Derkan (while he is the only ally on the board) will result into a frozen game. Can't reproduce on 2.8505 (game ends properly, might have been fixed by all the "killed" trigger fixes)
* Glass Chalice of Knowing did not get card that went to bottom of deck with Zail's Hymn Can't reproduce on 2.850 (gets the right ally), added unit test
* Hunter's Gambit - Still reduces an ally's health even when A Legend Rises is attached. Can't reproduce on 2.850
* Loest's Burden doesn't trigger off Aldmor Conduit. Can't reproduce, added unit test
* Mass Purification - does not consistently remove all attachments (might be related to Zail's Hymn and multiple attachments). Can't reproduce on 2.8505
* Mettle of the Yari - Sometimes doesn't trigger off Yari Spearman Can't reproduce on 2.850
* Night Owl - When Night Owl was returned to play using Ghostmaker it did not gain stealth (even though the opponent had more allies). Can't reproduce on 2.850 (correctly gets stealth for me)
* Phoenix Urigon - doesn't get readied in next turn if it was killed by Garth's Concoction. Can't reproduce on 2.850 (he is readied for my next turn if killed by the 3 damage from Garth's Concoction. Death from the poison would be at the start of my turn, so he should not be usable that turn if revived.)
* Radiant Wisp - Gains +1/+1 when mind controlled. Can't reproduce
* Ricochet Trap - reduces hero health and then adds it back on - if the first step causes zero health, then it kills the hero and ends the game. Can't reproduce on 2.8505 (hero on 1HP is not killed by Kris or Jeweler's Dream if he has Ricochet Trap)
* Rotling - When Raikka activates SE ability and you play Rotling, rmoving an ally in graveyard, it comes into plasy as 2/1 instead of 2/2. Can't reproduce on 2.8505. (My Raikka with my Rotling after her ability and an exile comes in 3/2. My Raikka and their Rotling and an exile comes in 1/2. All correct behaviour.)
* Spiked Bolas Strike stolen from opponent gives damage to controller (of SBS?) when it is removed. Can't reproduce on 2.850 (it correctly damages the controller of the ally it was removed from)
* Wizent's Prayer - Couldn't target allies or any of the new SF cards in my opponent's graveyard(discard pile). Can't reproduce, added unit test


Unbanned Cards in 2.85
* Nathanias, People's Champion
* Lythian Sledgehammer


Balance Changes for 2.85
* Desperate Tactics wording changed to "Target weapon you control with X attack is destroyed: target opposing hero or ally takes 1 + X damage" (the weapon must be successfully destroyed for you to be able to do the damage).
