A rather interesting glitch (DotP 2014)
Posted: 07 Sep 2015, 14:37
The glitch I'm experiencing might be a bit difficult to explain and english is not my first language, so put up with me for just a bit, ok? I'll do my best with words:
First of all, I used to have two different versions of DotP 2014 in two different folders. I did this because I wanted one of the versions, the latter, to only have the CW with no other mods.
Now, when I installed the second version and started creating decks for it, something weird happened: the basic lands and card count in a created deck didn't correspond to the new deck I had just created, but to the deck with the same ID in the older version. So, let's say the first deck I created for that new, CW-only version, was an Abzan deck. Say I set it up for having Plains and Forests as basic lands. Let's say that in the other version, the first deck (the deck with ID 0) was an Omni-Show, with only islands. What this glitch does is that if I go to my Abzan deck, I'm going to see only islands as my basic land mana base. I can fix this by adjusting lands, but if I do, then when I go to my older version to play with my Omni-Show, I'm going to see an Abzan mana base.
Solution is simple, right? Keep only one version. Now, what I did was I deleted both versions (not uninstalling them, maybe this is were I went wrong) and then re-installed Dotp 2014. So I'm supposed to have a new, clean version. Two things still happen: 1.- I still have the old profile active with my name, number of wins, campaign progression, etc. Even though I deleted the content of the Wizards folder in My Documents and 2.- When I create a new deck the manabase still belongs to the one I had established last: That is, I created a Devotion to Green Deck with ID 0, but it came with an Abzan mana base (from the example above).
This in itself is not that big of a deal, but I'm having trouble with certain cards and I was wondering if this might have to do something with it. Well, the only card I'm actually having trouble with is Whisperwood Elemental, which doesn't manifest at end of turn, but Whisperwood is influential enough that I would like to fix this soon.
Sorry for the long post. I'm at work so can't give you any potatoes.
