Noz being summoned by Dream Portals sometimes caused enough discrepancy between unskippable remaining portal animations and the now-reduced turn timer to completely skip an opponent’s next turn. They’d watch their own rope burn while being unable to play anything because the dream portal animations hadn’t yet resolved.
Watching your opponent summon Noz from a portal often meant you just lost right then and there.
That’s not a problem with Nozdormu. That’s a problem with how they establish when the opponent’s turn begins. This is a lazy solution to a completely different problem.
The beauty of Nozdormu being summmoned was the opponent having to make quick decisions on how to deal with an opponent’s borad that became huge in a single turn. And often that means poor decisions.
I do not like this nerf at all.
Will we be getting full dust compensation for Ysera Unleashed due to this nerf?
I kind of agree. They have had “turn skip” issues for a long time now and they have failed to address (completely) these animation issues.
The problem is also with Ysera. My phone almost crashes when those initial portal cards appear and I have Samsung Note 10+ with plenty of memory or w/e.
If they can’t resolve the animation issues throughout the game (idk if its client or server side, Im not a DEV) then they should hire someone who can.
I also experience a very noticable lag when the Portals are shuffled in. My PC may be outdated by now, but you’d think a i7-6700 @ 3.40 GHz with 16 GB RAM and a GTX 1080 would be good enough to run a simple animation like that.
Just. Change. Nozdormu. Already. Please. Don’t even wait for the Classic Set revamp of next year’s rotation, just change him now. It’s been six years. This buggy useless card has caused so many problems in the past, it’s clear it just does not work. Just change his battlecry already, like maybe he adds a random Wild Legendary to your hand. That would be a much better effect for him, AND WOULDN’T CONSTANTLY BREAK THE GAME EVERY EXPANSION!
which other card interactions are you talking about i only know of ysera and her portals and plot twist with a big hand ( before the animation change to plot twist )
oh and i just got the discover bug again…hope it wont take too long for them to fix it !!!
They are fixing the wrong thing. They should fix the animations instead. I don’t understand what’s up with Blizz that they have to create such long animations that even 15 seconds is not enough.
