The term 'bug' seems to be used on these forums to refer to card interaction problems. Sometime programming faults in the game that don't relate to specific cards seem to be overlooked. We get used to them til we don't even see them anymore. They don't make it onto any list, and may take years to be addressed.
i propose we use this thread to document glitches, problems, lack-of-polish, whatever that we see that aren't related to the cards or the standard order of operations or what have you.
Click-through problems.
throughout the game, I see places where clicking on a foreground item results also in the selection of something in the background. Most other programs never exhibit this behavior, but Shadow Era seems to do it all the time. One example: click on 'save' in the deckbuilder, and while you will get the save deck overlay, you will also see whichever card was behind the save button become selected.
So-and-so has disconnected.
you can see this message while playing, but you also see it when watching replays, and you get it at the end of a losing game before you have seen your opponent's final play. Could the text be replaced by something less intrusive, like status lights? Could they be a bit smarter so small hiccups don't result in long delays?
Isnt there a way for the server to know which accounts are logged in similar to AOL instant messenger or what-have-you, that would obviate the chicken-sh!t business where someone can force-close their app and log back in and start a new game, while the Victor must wait three to five minutes to avoid a loss? This is especially annoying in Meltdown: losers get to play more games than winners, just by punting.
Global chat feast or famine.
It often appears that nothing is happening on Global Chat, but if you type something into the chat bar and click 'submit' you'll see dozens of messages appear all at once. At other times Chat will say there are fifty- or seventy-odd messages, but when you open the chat pane you are shown zero, or perhaps one to three messages. What happened to the rest?
Server problems
Please add to this list so we can keep track. Perhaps they might be corrected someday soon.
