Change to Summon Pools?

Did I miss some sort of announcement about a change to Summon Pools?

Last Week, the Soul that I had sitting ready to pull for a Soul Chase went to my Inbox, but I thought that was a fluke somehow caused by the wonky update that required deleting the game and reinstalling because that is when it happened.

However, when I logged into the game today, the Champion that I had sitting there ready to Summon went to my Inbox, so I no longer think that it was a fluke and that it was an intended part of the update last week?

That is going to force my saved Prism Jewels to pull from this worthless Spirit Pool, and my saved Prism Crystals to pull form whatever Summon Pool is next.  

Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

that's... not a change though? prism crystals and prism jewels have always auto-pulled at the end of a summon/soul event. it's annoying as hell, but it's been that way since day one.

Except if you don't click on the "summon pool" tab to claim the one that auto-pulls, you can leave it there until you want to claim it and you can accrue all of the crystals/jewels you earn to use in the future when there is a chance at the toon/soul you really want. 

I had one each ready to pull, but had not claimed either, and I have 95 jewels and 285 crystals saved. Now, my 95 jewels will pull at the end of the current soul event, and my 285 crystals will pull for whatever Toon event comes next....and there is nothing I can do to stop either from happening.

But for champ summons it doesn't tell you who the pull was, nor go to your inbox, until you click on the summon pool button. More importantly, if you can resisting clicking the red button until a champ chase starts, it *will* count for that.

Exactly. I did not claim either the soul or the toon, but they both went to my inbox immediately upon login on different days.

yeah, no. that has absolutely not been my experience. whenever a summon pool ends, the tab vanishes from the portal/altar and i get a popup telling me what the crystals ended up autopulling whenever i'm next in the bastion. so basically what you're describing, except that it's not a new change on my end.

best guess would be that it used to work differently on different platforms and they finally standardised it? what do you usually play on?

oh, thats a good point about platforms. Personally i play *almost* explusively on pc, launching from plarium play, and very rarely on my android phone (usually just to fire off a demon lord key)

I play daily on both iPhone & Plarium Play, switching back & forth multiple times per day.  You?

They have never auto-claimed before. I used to claim them at the next champ chase for easy points, but decided to start saving 7 cycles ago, which has allowed me to store up the 280 Prism Crystals.  I was planning to let them all pull for a high value Void or Vulkanos, but now they will pull automatically for whatever is next.

I got the idea to save them from a Boozor vid where he had been saving forever and used them all when Bayek was featured.

I do know that both the soul auto-pull and the toon auto-pull both happened on my iPhone, but that had never happened before the most recent game update.

odd. that's basically the same as me (other than the phone type).

welp, so much for that theory.

pretty much just plarium play, with very infrequent iphone visits. so yeah, no idea why you and i have always had different experiences or why they've suddenly changed it. shame they opted to go to the worse of the two options, but that's plarium for you.

I can't check if it's happening currently for me, I already cleared out the couple i'd had saved up last champ chase.

Working as expected for me currently.  But i also didnt have to delete and reinstall.

For what its worth I was told that being able to stack prisms is intended by design so I doubt they would have removed that ability.
