Stu Aitken was the director of the trailer, but still, SO STOKED.

SO

1. Jay will be popping in once he gets settled in, already chatted with him about it. As you can imagine he is EXTREMELY busy with moving into his new position.
2. He'll have an intro in a couple weeks.

P.S. IT'S BEEN FOUR DAYS, people. Two of those days were weekend days. Chill. :relieved:

Thank YOU for playing! :slightly_smiling_face:

We want to be on other platforms, but for now, we're focusing on PC. We don't have a time estimate for other platforms.

Important: For those that qualified, you HAVE to join the event from 6am PT (13:00 UTC) to 7am PT (14:00 UTC). If you don't, you won't be able to participate.

You can find more information here, specifically the ...

I have a Commander deck that is basically all enchantments... The only creatures I put in are walls haha. Does it win? Nah. Is it hilarious? Yes. I have another deck that has creatures, but I literally never attack with them. They just sit and do damage passively.

Tl;dr you need creatures, but don't need to attack with them.

@WotC_Lexie:

I do! It is already sticked in the News & Announcements.

If you have the power to sticky threads, I think stickying this thread in general is also a good idea. It's nice that it's stickied in the news section, but the effect is less noticeable since only admins can post in that forum anyway. In here, with as many threads getting updated multiple times every hour, since this is an official WOTC event and highlighting it is justified, I think you should sticky this thread here in this forum to promote it.
A little secondary to this is dropping the March SOTB thread and letting it sink. It's a bit outdated now and more people are interested in discussing what's coming next for MTGA. In addition, all of the SOTB threads are duplicated and archived in the news forum so they could always reference it there if they needed that information for whatever reason.
I think a ...

Thank you! I will pass along the feedback. :relaxed:

@Jengas:

Do you have the power to sticky threads? it's a good way for important information to maintain visibility.

I do! It is already sticked in the News & Announcements.

Heads up, I'm going to close this thread so it sinks, because I want the actual MCQW info to be visible. Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

If you're qualified for this weekend, all of this information is VERY important. Click the PDF button at the top to see more info on Day 2.

If you think you should have been qualified but don't see the qualifier badge, PLEASE REACH OUT TO OUR SUPPORT TEAM IMMEDIATELY.

@TomDW:

oh nice, someone remembered we lot are still here ^^


someone had some time left over between posting on reddit, twitter, discord, facebook, .. ?

the time/attention spend here seems to be coming and going like the tides... guess it's low tide again :/

anway, good luck to the people qualified!

I check the forums every single day, multiple times a day (even on my days off). Just because I'm not jumping in on discussion posts doesn't mean that I'm not here!
If anyone ever has a question or needs help please tag me and I'll answer if I can! :relaxed:

I think what Tom is referring to is updates are coming to the forums last it seems. I mean, the state of the beta for this month was posted by players.

As I mentioned in a previous reply, that was human error and...

@WotC_Lexie:

I so so so wish I could tell people, but we're not going to. We don't want to break promises, ya know? Knowing something is coming, and then it not happening, feels awful so we aren't going to announce something until we can absolutely guarantee that we can deliver it.

Yes, this^
This isn't a WOTC thing, but it's pretty universal when it comes to game development. The negative backlash against a promise broken is on average much more severe than the ones resulting from not enough open information. It's important to note here that this should be treated differently than lack of feedback. Feedback can range anywhere from prompt responses to technical issues to questions about future content and much requested features. For good reason, there are things on that range of feedback items that cannot be divulged in order to provide developers enough room to iterate and reiterat...

How about, we're looking at this, but are not sure if we can do it? And later, we are not going to do it, or we did it (that one in the State of the Beta, OFC)? That would mean a lot to the persons proposing something.
I agree that breaking promises, even if only imagined ones, is bad.

I do try to say "we're working on it" when I can. Like, friends list? Working on it. Other platforms? Something we want to do. When it comes to specific features though I can't give details.

I know that this isn't the answer you want, but we'll announce things when we're comfortable announ...

@Lowthor:

@WotC_Lexie:

Roger that, everyone! Some things of note:

1. We do post the State of the Beta here. We didn't one time, simply because in the chaos of things it was forgotten. We're sorry about that!
2. The forums WILL be updated soon. The goal is to have it live by July. We don't like how they're designed right now either haha.
3. When it comes to feedback, we are ALWAYS listening. We are not ignoring anyone. I am constantly passing info to the devs that I see on the forums, Reddit, Twitter, etc. We just can't implement that feedback immediately. Making a game takes a LOT of time. Even the simplest of things can take days. We also can't confirm what we are (or are not) working on haha. I know it's lame that things are super secret, but it is what it is.
4. Your suggestions and feedback always matter.

I hope that what you say happens, however there are d...

@Kellerhefe:

[[37263,hashtags]] is not enough.
I want to discuss why there is no Brawl, Highlander, Commander in Arena.
Why was Two Headed Giant possible in Duels ?
I suggested Stats for Decks and Player a year ago, so its not days for simple things, unless you mean 400 days.

1. We hear your feedback. As I said above, we aren't going to discuss/announce things until we can announce it.
2. Duels is not MTG Arena. If only it were that easy.
3. Pulling stats and displaying stats is not a simple thing. Also, even if it WAS a simple thing, our devs also have another million things to do. We have are limited in time and resources so things have to be prioritized. Would we like to do that? I'm sure we would! We just have other things happening right now. :slightly_smiling_face:

@Obone:

@WotC_Lexie:

What would you like to see from us?

Hi Lexie, I see loads of suggestions for improvements, like for instance the basic land thing, then some time later the improvement is implemented with no Comms in the middle. I've kind of got use to this now so if I see a few comments on the same thing I try to allay folks fears and let them know the problem may be fixed sooner or later.
If you or anyone could just let us know somethings in the pipeline this would be a giant step forward.

I so so so wish I could tell people, but we're not going to. We don't want to break promises, ya know? Knowing something is coming, and then it not happening, feels awful so we aren't going to announce something until we can absolutely guarantee that we can deliver it.

Unfortunately there are going to be archetypes that stomp yours. That's just how games work. I'm not sure what games you play, but look at it like playing a support character into a dps character. I can build up my support character to do more damage, but the dps character will ALWAYS have the edge.
