If talking like that got you banned, half the people on this forum would be banned.

I'm not kidding. I got banned for basically calling wizards a bunch of morons. That was it

^^ That's not critical anymore but swearing.

I dont know where you're from, but the word Moron is not swearing by any means. Real swearing is bleeped out on these forums anyway

Whether you think it is swearing or not, it isn't allowed. Insulting someone, even staff, is breaking the Code of Conduct. If you'd like to refresh yourself on the rules you can find the Code of Conduct link at the bottom of the page. :slight_smile:

Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths Quick Draft

• Various improvements to draft bot picks

Note: This was a data-only deployment, and no update is required.

My favorite loss wasn't really a beat down, but just a fun instance that I'll always remember.

It was towards the end of my work day, so I thought I'd play a quick game on MTGA. Well we were both playing janky token decks, so our "quick game" ended up lasting TWO HOURS. We both had crazy board states and way too much life so the game wasn't going to end any time soon. My coworker finally told me to surrender because the other person deserved it (and at that point it was probably 7:30pm so we were the last people in office). It was a really fun match and they definitely deserved the win for putting up with my shenanigans that long!

Bug Fixes

• Godzilla Monster Series card styles now correctly respect the “Hide Alternate Art Styles” setting
• Setting/removing a companion now properly saves when making changes to your deck list
• Using different printings of cards will no longer appear to work when Lutri, the Spellchaser was set as your companion
  • Note: This was a visual bug; Lutri properly recognized repeated cards and refused to be your Companion de...

Is that even an official page? And if it is that is a bad way to handle communications.

There is a huge link to that page from the forum homepage. It's the first thing you should check when something's wrong with Arena. Also, if you check official WotC posts in forums, which are sorted in chronological order, link available from forum homepage, you see Lexie mentioning about daily deals and also sharing the status page link.
I'd call that sufficient communication, alth...

Daily Deals look a little borked? The status page probably has the answers that you seek.

The status page has the answers that you seek.

(store is borked, we're looking into unborking it)

Thanks for letting me know, everyone! Restart the client and you should be able to get back in. :slight_smile:

(Note: It may take a few minutes but should be fixed. Grab a snack or something, then come back and try again.)

@Johehan#75353:

Same here, system is down for maintenance.

What region are you in? Any details that you can give me would be great, so we can look into this a bit farther!

@TheBlackSquirrel#66193:

This forum makes it seem like the patch is done, and the game should be up and running. So, how long before we can actually play again? I'm getting tired of loading it up and getting the SYSTEM IS DOWN message.

The game should definitely be operational. Could you walk me through what is exactly happening to you?

@Tamiyo's Toyboy:

My checking for updates is currently at 5mins 12secs and counting. Will update when it eventually finishes

I mean, there's an actual update that it is checking for right now, but going forward it shouldn't be a problem. Definitely keep me posted though!

Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths Premier Draft

• Adjusted Rank-Based Matchmaking for Premier Draft
  • Developer’s Note: As some of you may have noticed, there were certain scenarios where you were being matched against somebody with a much higher (or lower) Rank than yours – this should address that issue. Regardless, players were still being properly matched on their current W/L record (Ranked draft formats use both your rank and your win/loss record when searching for an opponent).
• Adjustments to opening-hand algorithm for Premier Draft
  • Developer’s Note: We intend for best-of-one formats to use a modified opening-hand algorithm which pulls multiple potential opening hands and chooses one; Premier Draft was operating contrary to that, and we have fixed it accordingly. To stave off any conspiracy theories, it was previously using our best-of-three opening hand rules (which pulls one, and only one o...

@Lidofrin:

Hy there,
I got the update. It completely installed. Now the step "checking for updates" doesn't take even longer (no idea if it is just because there WAS an update this time)

So you're saying that the "checking for updates" is taking less time now that you have updated the game?

@Vishnu:

Am I the only one experiencing this extemely long loading and checking for updates screen before entering the game?

We're aware of this issue! Checking for updates should take significantly less time once the current maintenance is over (like the fix is happening right now).

First off, I'm sorry that you're having in-game issues! I know that it's super frustrating. This can be due to MANY different things, from your local ISP to a secondary program running in the background to servers to hardware etc, which is why I ask people to let us know via the proper channel and submit logs along with it. Unfortunately reporting an issue doesn't mean that it will be solved in an hour, or even a couple weeks, but it is the first step. We take performance issues VERY seriously. If you run into a performance issue while in an event, contact our support team via this request.
