Update 2.4 Patch Notes

Continue to gather your PvP feedback!
At this stage, the earliest we will be able to action further changes to PvP will be 3.0 as there are a number of other major changes underway that are taking up most of our dev time currently.
But it means we have time to put a plan in place for continuing to rework PvP!

One problem Iā€™m having with the new version of PVP, is because Iā€™m playing on PSN, my tv is cutting off the right side of the screen right where the first number is. So for example if the number was 19, I only see 1. But I can see when I take a picture on the tiny preview pic that there is more to the right of it. Was going to report it in the bug section initially, but its more of an issue with (my) TV rather than an actual bug with the game. Still would be nice to have an option or something where the results were displayed a bit more to the left (middle) than they are now.


Iā€™ve taken a picture to better show what I mean. See my white cursor? The white dot in the middle is as far to the right as I can see.

Cropped the picture to show you exactly what Iā€™m seeing on the PS4 (a bit chopped off from the left and right basically, tiny bit off the bottom).

If I use HDMI to put my PC on my TV I have to set the tv display to ā€œjust scanā€ otherwise it crops the picture and I canā€™t see the very edges.

But given this occurs, it is good for game designers to take this into account.

I passed this on to the team, as it should not be cutting off any imagery or no graphics should be in the overscan area.

I DO NOT like the using the map to get through the season. Itā€™s very cumbersome.

It feels like every update to this game, the devs add new ways to slow us down from actually playing the game. Itā€™s getting frustrating.

I dread the mornings when I have to salvage all the contents from my chests. So much timeā€¦
Can there be an ā€œI want a confirmation window when salvagingā€ Y/N option? ā€œā€¦ when salvaging season gearā€, ā€œā€¦ when salvaging epic or betterā€ could be betterā€¦

I second that. Or any other solution would be great.

Rather trivial at the moment, but I had an instance where a Risen gem appears to not have loaded correctly (other Risen Gems behaved properly). Only seen this happen once, but keeping an eye out if this occurs again.

While it has only been once, @Lyrian do you have any Gear that transforms a random Gem into a Big Gem?

Not that I currently equip, no.

I have seen this a couple of times too. It is very likely I had the Royal II set bonus and other big gem creating items equipped.

Another oddity with Risen Gems,

  • As they have a chance to ā€œinfectā€ a tile adjacent to them each turn, they apparently can infect linked matches at the start of a turn, which brings back this old bug:

Infecting all Gems matched to the one that gets infected is not intendedā€¦ reported to the team and shared your screenshot

Following up on this: Duplicated the bug with a Saviorā€™s Helm equipped to create a start-of-match corrupted Risen Gem from a Big III Gem.

It is the same issue as @00h00m pointed out.

Curious question, is it intended that Risen gems cannot be removed from the board by any method?

Canā€™t match them. Canā€™t convert them. Canā€™t explode/destroy them. They are invulnerable gems?

@Lyrian Risen gems are destructible with anything that explodes or destroys Gems, like spells that destroy a row/column or the Rage Gems explosion.

Was also intended that Gem creation spells should override themā€¦ but I think currently this is not the case

Imagine you are asking cos you are having instances where you havenā€™t been able to destroy them? :eyes:

Just my 2 cents, but I think having gem creation (assuming you mean like color switcher spells) override the rising gems would be overkill. Iā€™d just make it so destroy gem and remove gems spells handle them.

But if that is indeed the case, I did lose my first match of the season due to that. Was running gem creation spells which were useless and ended up being overwhelmed by the rising gems. Also why did other people get 36 coin compensation and I only received 24 coins? I have a platinum pass by the way.
