Faction boss bug

actually a lot of these "glitches" are not really but more misinformation on how things work, for example tons of people call the gem count not going down just cause they don't look for that count at the right time, the count goes down right after you hit the move cause the computer already calculated in the background the gems and cascade you haven't seen yet and at that moment you just don't see the count going down cause it's under the screen showing you selected gems and people expect to see that number after the cascade instead, the reason for that is simple if the game waited that whole time to calculate the gems the shield would be taken down way later as it takes a good 30-60 extra second to lay them down and have the cascade resolve, doing it first actually help players take it down faster.

Also most of the connection errors do not mean your internet connection went down and is irrelevant if you are in front of your cell tower, it means you lost connection to the lobby or "game session" for boss battle more often then not its cause either the player hosting the boss battle has connection issue or you connected to a lobby in a different area then yours, for example is you are in US Central region but you picked a lobby labelled in Asia or Europe etc... remember this mode is in realtime so you have 4 player connections being dealt with and unfortunately most people don't even pay attention if they connect with people in the same region which will obviously create a lot of timeouts.
