Not entirely sure if it's a glitch or not, but just now when I was brewing a megastone, the counter had finished, but then it gave me an extended time (I think 15 seconds?) in which I finished the recipe--but then the counter kept going down even though I had put in all the gems it asked?

The most puzzling part is that my cauldron is now brewing something, and I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out as a black key/box, but I'm wondering if this is a glitch or if it's "regular"?

Yes, I did have an incense pot, though I assumed those are always used at the "main" part of the brewing and not this extension thing. And if it is part of the time-extension, should it's flavour text be changed to clearly communicate that?

Oh and a minor complaint is I'm wondering if colour-blind individuals can play the gem cauldron mini-game. Sometimes I get confused by the gems according to colour, though I'm not sure if adding labels to the gem in the cauldron and the gems in the selection would alleviate the problem... : /

Do you have proof? Like a screenshot or something. The 15 second extra timeline is definitely weird.

Nada, I was busy trying to put in the rest of the gems, it didn't occur to me it could have been a bug until I finished putting the gems in and realized the counter was still going.

I figured I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth up until that last 5 seconds where the red counter kept going ono;

I got the same problem, the cauldron doesn't appear when we got the last second with incense pot

No no, I did have the cauldron, but the timer was still going for some reason?

//Moved to Solved, as part of the big Bug/Complaint clean-up.

I honestly think this was just a temporary glitch, rather than an actual bug. Like it forgot to count the Incense, and tacked on the time later.

If it happens once without it being due to connection problems it's most certainly a bug. (Also this can't really be because of a connection problem since that would have the opposite effect)

I had it several times and it is not due to a connection problem. Also I did not have any Incense to get more time so this is also not the problem.

I'd look into the code a bit but the problem is it's impossible to know when it'll happen (unless you just start with less time, but this would mean I can't look for the problem because it's server sided)

The way it works is there's a counter on the server and a counter on your browser page.
When the browser counter finishes it refreshes the page. If the server counter isn't finished yet, refreshing the page will just load the gem cauldron again with the remaining time. The fact that it keeps counting after finishing is probably because the browser counter got resetted as if you start again (which is also a bug, it should just have the time the server counter has)

The only thing I can think of is that Riako accidentally got 2 different timer values (server sided) instead of one but this would mean it happens every time and it doesn't sooo...
