What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:
I expect exploded potion gems to disappear while creating a bunch of gems of their colour. Frequently today while playing Maraji Expanse (which has Potion Gems dropping today) on PvP on Xbox, some exploded (or matched / destroyed) potion gems remain on screen, still in their enlarged state. There are 2 serious repurcussions of this. One is that the enlarged potion gem covers the gem that replaced it after it exploded so itâs hard to tell what it is. The other is that casting gets disabled across the player team - the Cast button is greyed out and cannot be selected on any player troop until you make a move on the board that dismisses any lingering enlarged potion gems.
How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
It seems to happen due to the large number of potion gems dropping in PvP. EDIT - it happens due to potion gems being triggered at the start of a turn by board altering troop traits.
Steps to make it happen again
Play PvP in a region with Potion Gems dropping so there are many on the board. Explode or match gems triggering multiple potions (EDIT: the potion must be triggered by a troop trait that alters the board at the start of the playerâs turn before they make a move e.g. King Stormgardâs double yellow lightning gem creation). Sometimes an exploded potion will remain visible in enlarged state. Try to cast with any troop, Cast button is disabled.
The team I was using was Savage Hunter, Shaman Hero with Wild Cleaver, King Stormgard and Mechataur. Team code [6243,1402,7467,6982,3026,1,2,1,1,3,3,2,14020]
Restriction is Wild Plains with Mana Potions dropping.
