Don't you want me to play, D3?

I've heard through the grapevine that Alliances are something they will do eventually. Don't know if it's legite, but perhaps this is why they haven't been adding a lot of content?

And yes. That "Coming Soon" sign is looming and looming

I'm guessing it will follow MPQ. "Events" will be PvP disguised as PvE - instead of fighting other decks, you fight pre-made opponents. But it's still all about grinding out a ranking victory against everyone else every few days.

It might be something else but that's the obvious guess.

I would hope they can come up with something a bit more creative than that, since that is mostly what they've baked into the Story Mode and Quick Battle. This type of event wouldn't give us anything they haven't provided already. I would want an "event" to break away from the traditional game play in some way. Drafts ala Hearthstone, restrictions on deck types being used, Event-Specific Planeswalkers that could be released later.

If they're looking for exclusive prizes for top event performers, Planeswalkers could certainly be a way to go. They could be exclusive to event winners for a month and then available for wider purchase to everyone. Ohhh, custom art for existing Planeswalkers. Not that artists are free for drawing new Planeswalkers, but it would serve as a serious badge of honor for the winners which has no "lost" sales due to reward packs. Portrait selection couldn't be *too* hard to code it into the app.

I'd be surprised if they included alt art anytime soon. That sounds like it would require hiring an entirely new person / contractor, plus it'd likely have to be approved by WotC, etc. Much more likely would be "foils" - or gold cards, like Hearthstone, or whatever. Which I think could be cool.

You're right that it's not creative but that's how MPQ works. Then again, since this is a 1v1 and the "story" mode (which contains 0% story) is just you vs. each card, I agree there's not a lot of ground left to cover. But the point wasn't really to create new content - just give you a chance to repeat content for new rewards. For example, right now there's absolutely no reason to ever go back to "story" mode once you're done; all you can get is runes and you get tons of them from quick battles. At least events might give you something to do if you don't feel like quick battles.

I don't know what they have planned, and hopefully the game doesn't become too similair to MPQ, as I quit playing that game for a reason.

I would really, really like to see some type of event that was based on skill instead of who has the most time to waste matching 3+ tiles.

Perhaps some type of Endurance battle? That could be fun, and would amount to a little luck and a lot of skill (if integrated right)

Maybe an event that sets you against 3 opponents in a row at a time, and is based on highest streak. Before the set of 3 matches, it would show you all 3 opponents and their decks so you could choose which walker and deck suited you best

I'd like to see a system where you can play 2 players versus AI. That would be a skill match.

Maybe even blossom it into a 2 vs. 2....

3 lives total per tournament. After that you can't earn anymore points, but can continue playing quick battles for the runes.

That would only work if they fixed the crashes.

Also gideon would win every single time because of life leech.

Nissa might at higher brackets with an alhamarret's archive and her super rush.

400 points to win is around 13 hours of game play. You win a fat pack and a mythic. A fatpack is ten dollars. The system is stupid...no doubt about it. If you broke the brackets into smaller groups it would increase the number of rewards being handed out. Once all your planeswalkers are level 50 you have 0 reason to play quickplay. I'm sure the graph for playtime plummets.

Yeah, I've tried waiting to enter QB tourneys to see if I can make more efficient use of my time, but you still have to join and play for a couple of hours straight in order to at least get a rare (which I'm sure will just be duplicate), so I usually don't even try.

With a good deck it's about 5 hours. And you can't think of the QB reward Fatpack as a normal Fatpack. The chances to get mythics from it are way worse.

Getting so bored of this game but I hate to give up cus there is so much potential. Now I know how a sports team feels about their underachieving top draft picks.

Nothing saying you can't just stop playing and come back in a few months when we have a content update. That's my plan. I haven't opened the app in 3 days, but I'll be back when 1.4 drops to see what they have for us.

Life is too short to play boring games. It'll be there when we all come back.

I just did come back... You mean you don't have flying cars yet?
