Anyone had more than four rounds in a Sudden Death match yet? :D
I herby declare that the most epic Triple Triad match there ever was.
Ack! Had I only seen that second T-Rexaur in the end of the first round!
The last Sudden Death round was 100% perfectly played by BoB. Not even Quistis could have done it better. I was so sure he'd fall for my bait and take the Blue Dragon with a Bomb or T-Rexaur instead of the Creeps. Then, when I saw the T-Rexaur's placement and started thinking about the bombs, I kinda knew it was all lost. That perfect combo was inevitable. :greenie:
So I just started to play this and if you leave the match via clicking on a link then you lose all of your cards. There is also no warning if you leave the match via another link. I kind of left the match because the thing froze up on me.
This game is pretty damn glitchy though. I had a few matches with Quistiterasdf and it just would not go. I got my ass kicked but I was placing cards down where I didn't want to because she wouldn't go and it was about the only thing I could do.
Call me back when a version that isn't broken comes out =P
This game does have glitches, for sure. There are times where it looks like the CPU opponent isn't doing anything, so you decide to put another card down, and THEN suddenly both moves happen at once. I've also seen cards randomly start flipping around for no reason. You can refresh the page and everything seems okay (you don't have to worry about being credited for a loss), but I've had to hit Refresh 2 or 3 times in one match. It is definitely very buggy.
While it is glitchy, you don't lose all your cards if you click on a link. Go to the Triple Triad tab and then go to the far left option of 'Active Battles'. Click on that for a drop down which should include any battles you have not yet finished.
The biggest glitch for me is when you see a card going to one location but it's actually gone to another, or when the CPU just freezes up. In each of these cases, I just reload the match using the active battles menu or by refreshing the page.
I don't think the team working on this will spend much time fixing small problems that are more than likely caused by our dodgy server which has an overloaded CPU. But even if it's not the server, the guys who made the game aren't releasing new versions just yet, last I checked. So we have to make do with what we've got. I find that any issues it has are always to do with the CPU rather than opponent players, so you shouldn't ever lose a valuable card to another player via a glitch. Given that no matter how many cards you lose to the CPU, you can always easily get more from the CPU players... I'd say that there shouldn't be any major problems with the game overall. Farm the CPUs for cards, play the cards against other members.
Daniel is right that the majority of the worst bugs come from playing the CPU players, because those bastards love to cheat. Though I was playing a dramatic tie-breaker game against Ultima Shadow, and on checking back for my turn, I moved to take what I thought was his card and go up 7-3 with him only having one turn left. "Aha!" I thought, "Unless he can Same/Plus in one of the last two spots, I have this game won! And that is unlikely because I didn't move where he seemed to want me to move into a trap!" I patted myself on the back for being such a genius and planned my celebration party and press conference. HOWEVER, the score didn't change to register my new points and I was enraged; I watched in horrified dismay as Ultima flipped just one of my cards to tie it up, putting us into Sudden Death. I ended up losing the game and throwing my laptop out the window, apparently killing some nice old lady with 23 now-orphaned dogs. Glitches kill, people (and unlike "Help my uncle, Jack, off a horse," that sentence works both with and without the comma).
Afterwards as I rewatched the game, I realized that the card I thought I had taken was, in fact, mine all along, and the game had shown it to me as his. xD
I've had this happen before and I think it's something to do with the horrible server we're on at the moment. The problem is that it's not downloading the files for the varying colours of each card fast enough when they flip because the server is under so much stress for it's incredibly weak processor. We're hoping to get this fixed in time, but sadly it won't be an overnight thing. Sucks, though. :(
YOU GUYS POSTED THIS ON FACEBOOK ALREADY!!!!
Thank you Looney Bob. It was that my battle never ended and I was looking for a button to continue my matches...a button that didn't exist. I didn't think it would list it at the top menu bar :/
Also, for all of this talk about awesome God Mode AI. I refer you to my Sudden Death match with Quistissisisserseters where she should have easily won multiple rounds but decided that she didn't really want to win that badly XD
Now that I know I can just refresh the page, the game works a lot better but it is still glitched. When you go into sudden death you need to refresh the page because the elemental titles show up as normal XP

I now officially love the Admantoise + Imp + Grand Mantis trio. I've won a total of 3 matches against human opponents thanks to it. =D
