Actually I have gotten energy based cards from portals when those 2 exps weren't enabled in the match.
@lordgek, cannot recall if I am having a game with you or not. Gotta send you something when the server resumes.
So, before reading your comments on here re: the Dreamscape bugs, I naturally updated as soon as I saw it was available and eagerly went straight to the In-App Store page to purchase said expansion. Initially the dlc purchase button showed £2.99 so I duly pressed it and waited with anticipation......but nothing happened. So I pressed it again. And again. But still nothing.....weird.....so I hit 'restore purchase' and in an instant, the price changed to 'bought'! But I didn't confirm my purchase with a passcode/thumb print or receive a notification email to say I've purchased it. However, if I try to start a new game (multiplayer or single v. AI), the Dreamscape expansion still has the padlock symbol on it and is unselectable. Resetting the app, restoring purchases etc - all the usual things to resolve minor hiccups have no effect. It still says I've bought it but I still can't select to play it. I understand it's probably all related to the server issues and the known bug and will probably get ironed out in a hotfix update. Still, a bit odd.....?!
No I had this happen to me with the previous expansion as well as this one. Playdek informed me that if you purchased the bundle it has a glitch which will show the expansion as purchased, despite not being owned, preventing you from acquiring it. If you don't want to wait for them to fix it (I noticed a patch just dropped) you can delete the game, reinstall, then purchase the expansion then restore purchases and it will work as normal.
Is anybody else now getting frequent random crashes in their Dreamscape games since the hotfix? I'm curios if others are getting this or if it is just some sort of iOS 10 issue since I just upgraded to it this morning.
Yep. Most of the time I can't even get into a game - just crashes immediately. Went from bad to worse.
I played one offlihne game after the re-release and many other non-Dreamscape online games, no problem so far. Fingers crossed.
Wasn't that fixed in today's patch? I no longer have seen that bug but every other game I load dumps me to desktop. The odd bit is, unlike previous bugged sessions in Ascension that if they crashed once, they'll crash every time at the same point, if I keep reloading a crashing game it will eventually work.
Not so sure about Dreamscape from the perspective of either balance or competition. It adds new and fun mechanical layers, and thus choice, variety and hopefully depth. But the sidedeck mechanic also doubles down on the random that deckbuilders partially avoid by presenting the same cards to both players. And some Dreamborn might just be a card too far. Like Nairi´s Blessing. Playing three Lifebound heroes is not a very restrictive condition to fulfill for 10 victory points and an ongoing effect. But it IS fun. EDIT: At the very least, I'm not unselecting the expansion icon from my games until I've played a perfect Pasythea, Adayu and Vir tandem turn...
Stability issues. My play group is seeing major stability problems. We've seen multiple crashes, play flow stalls, and very specifically cards that add new Dreamscape cards will add every card in the stack and then stall. Also, we consistently have to uninstall, reinstall, purchase the new expansion, then restore purchases to get new expansions on iOs devices. I love this game. But MAN I wish they'd handle some of the stability issues. And for the love of god add optional in game chat!
After the update the game doesn't freeze anymore it just crashes. The android version, surprisingly, is very stable.
The crashing is so random. I now get it in the bot games as well. Hopefully there will be a fix soon. Please forgive me folk if we had a game going, even one not involving Dreamscape, I'm taking a break from Ascension until this is sorted out (with 40+ concurrent games going it is too big a hassle to manually sort through which have Dreamscape in them and which don't).
Yup, I'm seeing major stability and freeze issues too, even after the patch that fixed the infinite-draw bug. It's a shame, since Ascension has been the most smooth, polished iOS card games for years-- it's the longest-lived single game on my iPhone. Devs, please fix this soon!
