Dear Arena Devs,
I would like to make the following "Improvement of Game Experience" suggestions for you to please consider implementing.
01) Expanded comment selection: "Thank you!", and "Sorry!", are two (in my opinion) extremely basic and useful comments that human beings have been sharing with one another for centuries. I do not see how anyone could be offended by adding those two options to the list of Comment Selections. I'm sure there are many more that could be added but I feel it is way past time (and a bit disconcerting) that those two are not currently options.
02) Two more seconds: May we please have two more seconds after losing before the screen disallows us to interact with it? Uncommon scenario: players are accustomed to playing against people who concede before said player can finish attacking and killing their opponent when said player is NOT wasting time during their turn, casting unnecessary spells but just going to the meat of the matter and attempting to attack only to see their opponent has conceded before they can accomplish their goal. Why is this even a complaint? The reason is that there were several games where I wanted to say "Good game!" to my opponent and they, who had not been rude/impolite during the match, rushes to kill me instantly (possibly to avoid the uncommon scenario I detailed above) and there goes my attempt at common courtesy to someone who did the same for me.
03) Allow us to friend opponents: I am sure this scares you for some odd reason but I have taken part in some really great matches whether because of an opponent's cool deck or a truly great/abysmal draw on both our parts and then the match is over and we are both sucked back into the void. I find that a sense of community helps foster creativity and this in turn leads to players expanding their card pools (i.e., spending more money) in order to try new combos, etc. Seriously, we don't need to pretend this is Magic the Gathering: Wall-E.
04) Edit Friendly Match Details: Why are we not allowed to play games with friends that use "alternative rules" to our matches. For example: 01) Increased timer so we don't have to rush each other in a FRIENDLY match where we just want to have fun and show off our new combo ideas; 02) Editable life totals: I think this is self-explanatory; 03) Two-Headed Giant or any number of other options see here please; 04) Best of Three Brawl: it is truly annoying to have to run a best of three brawl game that we need to initiate each and every time unlike standard matches; 05) Best of X: Can we change this to say 5 or 7 or whatever?
05) Nonsensical In Turn Timer: Be me. I cast a spell; I wait for my opponent to react; they take "forever"; the round finally comes back to me and now my timer is running out because I have to choose 'X' or 'Y' but I've barely spent any time on my actual turn. Look into it. Please. I believe I'm not going crazy with regards to this.
If you have read this, regardless of whether you ignore it completely or consider some of my thoughts, "Thank you!"
Edit: Best of Three Brawl and Best of X were both labeled "04)". Corrected.
