What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:
The first image is what @Eldor saw when he battled me in PvP, the 2nd image is what I actually have set on PvP defense. A number of folks on discord have noticed Lance Knight appearing in the 4th slot of PvP teams, not just the gnomes; here is another example:
Admittedly I don’t know the person fighting so can’t confirm they haven’t put Lance Knight in their team.
I’ve noticed this for a couple of months now but hard to confirm until you find somebody you know in PvP.
I thought there was an inside joke I have been missing.
Ok to add on here, I screenshotted Elayne earlier in the pvp selection screen, that person is currently on the PvP leaderboard, clicking on them and going through their profile to start a fight you get their intended team.
PvP defenses seem to be snapshots that are stored independently of your team slots, they might sometimes get copied incorrectly or eventually get corrupted in some way. If @Eldor fights you through your player profile, is there a Lance Knight or a Hoagi Humbucker in the team?
I’ve seen a similar thing in the past. Back in June, when The Werestag was released, I put him on my PvP defense team. I encountered that team in PvP on my alt account, but it showed as having Lance Knight where The Werestag was supposed to be:
If I went to fight myself, it was The Werestag where it should be. I asked my guildmates to try fighting me and 2 of them confirmed they saw The Werestag on the team, both in battle and before battle.
So whatever was happening was specific to the one account that encountered it. As if my game didn’t know about the troop and put Lance Knight in as a default replacement.
Answer from Elayne : I do have the 4 new gnomes set as defense. So I guess thats a bug.
I don’t have a forum account and no e-mail set up on this phone yet. Will check tomorrow after work if I remember.
