I think I just found a bug where the xMultiplier got stuck, and I ran it up to over x100, racking up over 86 million crystals in under 10 min.
Anyone else had this?

Yeah, someone else posted this earlier. I think it's a bug Though, it would be cool to do some magical set of steps that might "intentionally" make the multiplier stick for awhile. Not forever, but just something a little extra hidden in the game to give it depth. (Of course, combos you get this way wouldn't be added to your "largest combo" area!)

umm. oops. Any idea what you did that may have caused this to trigger? If you can reproduce it... that would be great!

I got the same thing. I have over 1 million crystals now. Here's what I remember from when it happened.
There was a strategist block and sorcerer(?) block. I rotated 180, then 180 again. I didn't get a chance to see the block that completed the chain. A bunch of blocks began exploding at the top as the rest fell down. All of a sudden I had leveled and had over 1 million crystals. Prior to this happening the game had crashed while I was mining.

I guess mines was different from the OP. Mines happened all in the span of a few seconds. There was no stuck multiplier.

I'm not sure what's going on with the multipliers in AF. Just now I set off a Level 1 Sorcerer tool and a Level 3 or so Furie tool and somehow ended up with over 450,000 crystals and 400k worth of earth and wind resources. Takes a little incentive out of leveling up. =)

This Glitch also happened to me...Twice, due to flipping upside down and back to normal position style of getting more blocks. This only happened when a Tool activation caused a block to get stuck at the top of the screen while xMultiplyers kept going off.

Yeah, basically what happened was the tool with a hammer icon on it came on screen. I flipped it 180 degrees about 2 or 3 times. Blocks were popping off the top of the screen, so I couldnt really see what was happening. But after that the tool block(hammer) was stuck at the top of the screen, just sitting there.
As I completed chains, the xMult just never went away, even if I didn't complete chains right after each other.

Here's a screenshot of after it all happened, I didn't get one showing the x114 multiplier, or whatever it was up to, but you can see how many crystals I got up there. You can also see the tool block that's stuck up there.

Yeah ... I had that bug too ... Only in my case it was 1.3 Billion crystals! ... Screenshot below ... Cause of the bug was similar to what most people had mentioned before ... Flipping the screen back and forth ... Right row (and in my case a few rows in the middle too) getting stuck ... In some cases whole rows of resource cells disappearing altogether from the screen. And yes ... never-ending combos ... I had a chain of over 117 straight combo multipliers ... Hope this bug is addressed in the next release ... It's almost no fun playing anymore! ... Have maxed out all essences and magicbooks and have no new gameplay to look forward to ...

lol, yeah i would have had that many had I kept at it.
It's wierd, now it just freezes the game when I flip it back and forth fast.

This will surely be fixed in an upcoming patch.
If you're not having fun because of this, don't flip the scree 180 when a hammer appears!

Good point!! ... I've stopped doing that and am focusing on the mining aspect.
But there's a different reason its not that much fun anymore ... Since maxing out everything leaves no goals to strive for, it can get tedious just grinding away in the mine. For me the most fun parts of the game were the Magic-books and the Blueprint Building, and this is something I will not be able to do again.
To the Devs ... In your next version, can you include a feature where we are able to repeat some of these puzzles in the Smith or Tower if we want to? ... Right now the only way I can do that is if I delete my character and start a new one.
