Thank you! Tell Chris and Sam B mysterious greetings are sent there way :)
You're going to need to disambiguate that Chris (we've got a lot of them), but I'll pass that on!
Edit: Oh wait, I bet that "B" was meant to apply to both Chris & Sam, and now I know who you mean
For a brief window, mobile players were sent to, effectively, an alternate dimension. This has been fixed, and everything should be back to normal now.
Thanks, I’ll try to find it. As an old boomer I really hate discord for archiving information. It’s great for in the moment conversations but Terrible for finding anything older then a day or two. Prefer the old forum system my self.
/u/I_said_no_cops - try this link! (I, too, am still learning Discord)
Did anyone attend the Q&A or have a transcript? I totally forgot about it.
Hey /u/I_said_no_cops - it might take a little bit of scrolling, but if you join our Discord (or if you're already in it) and you head to the channel #design_talk, you are able to read back through the Q&A. It's also a channel that we actually keep live as a safe space for players to talk and for devs to hop into here and there to answer questions.
Apologies on the delayed response here but hope that helps!
We are aware of this issue and treating it as a high-priority to fix. No updates on an ETA at this time, but we're actively working on it.
dont like the sleeve
still buy it
my brother in christ ??? what do you think WOTC understand from this operation ?????
We understand what they said in the OP. We monitor reaction and performance in a variety of ways, including both raw sales data and social sentiment.
You might be asking this because you've noticed that some cards will auto-target (for example, A-Blood Artist automatically targets your opponent). If so, the difference here is that Arena will automatically pick the only legal target for abilities (so, Conclave Tribunal will automatically target the only nonland permanent your opponent controls, for example) but will not automatically pick targets when you're actually casting a spell. Probably this is intended as misclick protection by making you actually confirm all targets when casting.
This is exactly right. When casting a spell, we like to make sure there's at least one choice you're making, so that you get an "Oh wait, what? No! Cancel!' window
I didn't realize the pony was for sale at the time of this post. I'm not trying to encourage people to rob wotc. I will delete.
That's awesome! Thanks for being a good human.
Fair warning: This is a bug, and at some point we'll fix it. If you want the Pinkie Pie avatar to actually keep, you'll want to buy it from the store (which also contributes to charity).
Hey Reddit,
Wanted to bring y'all our next Dev Diary article (https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-arena/dev-diaries-what-we-mean-by-basically-no-bans) where our own David Finseth dives into some data on one of our recent breakout events - Historic All-Access No Ban List. As some of you may know, later this week we are opening the queue to our next iteration of this event - Historic All-Access, Basically No Bans!
On top of the great read and peak behind-the-scenes, David will be hosting a Q&A in the official Magic Discord (...
Read more External link →Are card styles no longer attached to particular card versions, even if it's the parallax of one of the arts? So, for a given card, if I have 3 copies of Card Art A, 1 copy of Card Art B, and a parallax of Card Art B, can I put four copies of the Parallax Card Art B in my deck? If not, what about other alt art Card styles?
They’re not fully interchangeable yet, no. But that is the goal. We were hoping to get that alongside this feature, but ran into some thorny technical problems. We’ll keep at it.
There's nothing that makes them expire, no. First thing I do when I see something weird like that is restart my client (sometimes a message gets dropped so it gets confused and shows the wrong thing). If they're still gone, definitely contact supprt.
We’re aware. It should be fixed in the update we’re releasing in an hour or so
Ah that makes sense thank you, was Meathook nerfed with Historic in mind then? I don't actually remember why.
Yes, we always consider all formats when nerfing a card. When something is a player in both Alchemy & Historic, like Meathook or the cards from this round, we aim for a rebalance that works well for both formats. Golgari food was a real terror in Historic prior to the Meathook nerf, for example.
I thought they said they weren’t going to rebalance “iconic” cards?
"Iconic" there meant "In the history of Magic", not iconic to a particular IP.
That means we're not going to try to create "balanced" versions of Lightning Bolt or Counterspell or Necropotence. Those cards have a storied history in Magic, and they do what they do.
Universes Beyond cards will always stay in keeping with the IP and intent behind the original cards, but we will adjust power level (like we did here) to bring outliers into the proper space.
I want to say it's to not punish early disconnects - I play on a bad internet connection with a mediocre laptop (don't really have another choice) and sometimes even on the lowest quality settings my game will crash the instant something happens turn 1, but will be stable if I reconnect on time. I have no idea why this is a frequent crash point but it is a real nuisance for both myself and I'm sure my opponent
That's a big part of it. Early turns can also be long ones for new players (or players on a new deck), because you have a whole hand full of unfamiliar cards to read and think through.
We are in the process of testing fixes to the Inbox system, so the anniversary rewards were enabled for a brief time.
If you did not get the anniversary rewards, do not worry, you will still get them in the future. Thanks for bearing with us!
Are you limited to 10 at a time? I'm gonna be opening about 180-200 packs here in 2-3 weeks (need to finish drafting). I would think opening 200 packs like that would be kind of annoying, honestly.
Still caps at opening 10 at once. There's a universe where we could use something similar to this to enable opening higher counts of boosters at once, but, as you say, there would need to be some extra safeguards or tweaks to make that not be annoying. (I usually open 100-120 packs at once, so I get it.)
But most of you will be right about that one card.
I can't believe you have finally banned Colossal Dreadmaw.
Turn 3, Gigantosaurus. That's how you do it!
Actual event name will be "Historic All-Access, Basically no Bans"
You can speculate amongst yourself about what is & isn't included there. But most of you will be right about that one card.
(Edit: Should be updated in the article now too)
