The Twins Card needs to be removed from Arena Until the Bug is Fixed

Post by TheGriggy »

See title.

One of the biggest bugs on Dice Forge is the "Choose Resource" bug (see here: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=35664) which generates from the Twins card (spend 3 gold to reroll, then take moon/vp).

In real time games, this can be avoided by simply abandoning, but in turn based Arena games, it could be hours or a day before the other person responds, or if they are malicious, they can just cause you to lose a number of other games by stalling and not clicking quit. The issue is that due to BGA's weird arena rules, this locks you out of multiple other games until you make a move, which is impossible.

Until the bug is fixed, which from the report doesn't look like is going to happen soon, having the twins in arena has a chance of soft locking you out of multiple games and is a bad experience all around.

I don't get why simultaneous actions aren't allowed playing Dice Forge.

I'm not saying this should be mandatory, but if a player wants to do something before the other player does a thing I think this would just make the games shorter and more fun

I agree with these remarks.
In addition, the twins have other bugs with the guard's shields... so it would be a good idea to do something about that :-)

The only reason this wouldn't be allowed is because it would cause conflict with cards like The Minotaur. Subtracting resources from the other player might be more or less viable depending on what they currently have. Not being able to see what they pick before you choose your actions could effect your decisions.
