Thanks I never heard of Google. I'll bookmark it.
I cant even give my 5 codes all away. Says something about the interest in this product.
You made my day.:laugh:Quote:

If (and it's a big if) when this thing is done and it can be a casual fun thing to mess around in, and it works and the economy isn't complete garbage, i'll try it out and probably some Brawl or whatever doesn't chew up a bunch of time and money. I dont' really play video games at all, the last one i did was Duels. I don't have any illusions that this would replace competitive IRL play for me, i'm just hoping its a fun functional distraction in the end. I won't hold my breath.
Just sharing this because it's fucking hilarious. This is an actual post from one of the MTG:Arena devs on the beta forum, about why there's no update thing like there should be today.

It just really sucks how wizards adverized Duels as being the product that gets all future sets when it released a few years ago, and after people put a bunch of cash into it, announced they are dropping it for this and neither the cards nor the actual cash spent will carry over.
That just makes me hesitant to put any money into Arena. Who knows how long till Wizards drops this too, and not carry over any of the cards people bought with actual money over to Arena 2 or whatever they replace it with. Yes they said this one is permanent but they said the same thing about Duels and got people to spend a ton in Duels.
As far as the game itself, its great. It feels like a final product, not a beta.
yeah, for those saying that it sucks, you obviously did not log in since a long time :)
there are only three real bad points today:
- Limited cardpool: You can't play legacy on it
- Drafts are done with bots and not humans
- No sealed experience at all
The game still has bugs thought. Yesterday, when one of my eternalized sunscourge champions died while others were doing lethal damage, on of them ended up in my hand has a card i could eternalized :) Also, song of freyalize 3rd step doesn't use the stack. you have to stop in the upkeep if you want to do something before the trigger happens (like creating a token at instant speed for example).
It's still a very good game compared to it's competitors like HS.
Cards with any kind of "cast from the graveyard" ability on them show up in your hand in Arena. They're separated from cards actually in your hand a little bit, but the Sunscourge appearing in your hand wasn't a bug. That said, the game is riddled with bugs and freezes and other issues. And the deckbuilder is so bad they've admitted they're scrapping it and replacing it with something new entirely. But yes, it is much, much, much better than it was a few months ago.
it was the token card that was in my hand for a few seconds before the end og the game :) so yes it was a bug.Quote:

the filtering options on the collection is crappy too. you cannot filter by edition or format.
It was a long wait but it looks like MTG Arena will be launching Nov 27...

I've never played Hearthstone but I have played Eternal. I'd say the UI is pretty much exactly the same. Things are pretty intuitive. One problem I had was trying to hold priority/only let part of the stack resolve so I could respond. Anyone know how to do that? I had a match where I almost lost where I wanted to cast a Glimmer before countering their spell. As soon as I cast Glimmer the whole stack resolved.
My biggest complaint after messing around with Arena for the past couple of days is that the graphics are too intense for my poor 7 year old laptop :laugh:
Out of all launch dates they could choose, they chose the one next to Artifact? Or where do you get that from?Quote:

I expect it around the release of RtRtR, alongside the collection wipe. The 20$ price tag on Artifact might kill alot of momentum for it by itself, though.Quote:

Sry, program is a fail for me, but it seems its more or less focused on drafts, most money to make there and the name "arena" (see hearthstone) already suggests where its going.
I mean, if you're gonna rant on mtga, don't use an argument for mtgo..Quote:

Biggest problem I have is the rate at which you get rare wildcards is too low. Between what you need for your manabase and actual cards in your deck, you almost never have enough.
Put in some form of dusting and adjust how often you get rare wildcards a little (at the expensive of mythics I guess, I personally haven't had that much of an issue getting the mythics I need vs rares) and the economy would be fine IMO.
For what it' worth, you can sell out of MTGO which does change things a bitQuote:

The buildup to getting a collection where you would be able to just play whatever you wanted seems insane, whereas on mtgo you can just 'rent' the deck by buying and selling if you want.Quote:

You can basically get 3 to 4 meta deck for 200$ which is unrealistic on Mtgo. And the game let you grind a lot on daily average.
Yes your collection will become worthless (or not, we have no idea how Wotc is gonna manage rotation on Arena) but it is a far cheapier cost to enter.
I hope they create at least an arena eternal format (and the best would be that they start introducing old extensions to the game retroactively).Quote:

Or you can even make money and come out ahead when selling out of MTGO.Quote:

I agree, selling out of MTGO is a pretty wise idea given how shit it is
Pretty much no way you don’t come out ahead there.
as i said, arena is mainly for drafting and for those it might be better than mtgo. but for constructed, mtgo is the way to go, since as others said, you can buy in and sell out of decks in a couple of minutes and have all the formats available.
Hey guys, if any of you still have spare beta codes, I'd appreciate it
check your pm's.Quote:

At least one at the end of beta.Quote:

Comedy gold. I don't know what people did expect of this company.
But there's going to be an account wipe around when Ravnica releases. That fixes the problem until ~Fall. Am I missing something?
There's going to be an account wipe. RtRtR would be the logical point to do it, but then again, we're talking about Wizards here.Quote:
