EDIT: Topic moved, this ‘feature’ wasn’t in the patch notes so it should be considered a bug.
The animation delays are really killing the fun once you are past rank 5000. The freeze when getting a golden is the worst one. I’m pretty sure its not lag from my side. I have lost so many battles because of this. It takes at least three seconds before you can drag the minion back into the battlefield.
Haven’t experienced much lag/slowdown myself and I’m playing on an iPad that’s several years old now.
Noticed Kripp complaining about lag in BG recently so maybe depends on platform?
I just found out that everything is now locked while getting a golden or while buying and selling a minion. You used to be able to sell, buy, click the hero power, refresh minions or upgrade the tavern during the animations.
Since this change was not in the patch notes it’s probably a bug. As you are progressing in rank every second counts. This bug has messed up my ranking, it could have been 7000 by now.
I’m having problems too with the animation, they are slow and they prevent me from playing and enjoying the game. Sometime, the timer indicate I still Have up to 5 seconds, but I can’t play anything else and the game just starts. I have a few friends that told me it happens to them too. I never have any lags on other game, I just bought borderland 3 and it works just fine with max graphic setting, but heartstone lags… I have uninstalled it, but it doesn’t change a thing … I don’t know what to do now. I don’t think I would be much higher in the ranks, but I still frustating to have good cards in your hands and not be able to play them because it takes 2-3 seconds to buy a card.
I’m also having this problem. I even tried overclocking my CPU because i don’t know if its frame drops or what. When i watch streamers play they seem to have smooth gameplay where they can buy whilst selling animation is going off and i literally cannot. its really annoying.
Yeah it is very frustrating when you have time left but can’t do anything because you have to wait until the animation is done playing. No way to disable the animations. Two years and still no solution, Blizzard rather spends their time on making new animations to sell in their shop while they could be fixing their broken game.
Here we are, almost two years after the first post. And the problem still exist.
Check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck-KcvNGn6I. At the end of the game, it’s really painful to watch. And this is people with a really good config.
As a developer, I can say something is wrong in this. You have two choices :
But you cannot have a game that allows something that make the game freeze like hell. Ok it freeze for everybody. But it’s reaaaaaaally frustrating to have a good compo and lose due to freeze. I’m calling it “freeze” but I don’t know if it came from network or cpu freezing.
It’s been more than two years since this new ‘feature’. Still working as ‘intended’. Why can’t this be fixed?
explain why you have such a problem, but others do not?
