** Update ** (05/05/16 - 11:26 AM PST)

Hello again, MtGPQ fans.

We originally planned for server maintenance this morning in order to bring you the 1.4.1 update. However, very late in the process some issues that could potentially cause bugs in the release were uncovered. A decision has been made to delay the release of 1.4.1 a few days to help ensure as solid an update as possible. The update is now planned to go live on Tuesday, May 10th.

We'll post a new server maintenance warning beforehand and will be posting the 1.4.1 patch notes today.

Thanks very much for your patience and understanding!

Hello all,

The maintenance has been delayed.

Apologies for the change in schedule. We're awaiting word from the developers. When we have additional info as to when it will occur we'll post it here.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

During the maintenance period the game will be unavailable. Downtime is expected to last approximately 2 hours.

Thank you.

    Crossing fingers they increase drop rate of rares/mythics. Who wants to open a bunch of packs and give us some preliminary statistics? (if they told us the percentages I'd go out and blow my crystal horde - given a certain threshold)

    Guess I burned all my crystals too early. Two 14-booster boxes and only landed 4 rares and a single mythic. Pathetic. No way I'd spend real money at those odds.

    You only burned your crystals too early if they increase drop rates, which no one has said they will do, so I would say it is OK to relax icon_e_smile.gif

    Meanwhile, has the maintenance even started yet? I still seem to connect just fine.

    It says 4pm UTC in the activity hub in game. Not sure if it already happened based on forum announcement or what...

    I'm hoping for some optimizations since the last update caused a number of new slowdowns. Many of which are starting to get annoying.

    Is it still down?
    I left in,pause a match for crystal reward, one of the hardest ones...

    By the time i managed to accompliah it and win the server went down and now i am stuck trying to contact server to cash it.

    I hope i will not need to do it again, it took me a good 20 minutes of play.

    At this point I don't think anything short of telling us - specifically - that they raised drop rates and what they currently are will overcome the perception that the rates are too low. I know I'm not spending any crystals because they aren't worth it. I wonder how many others are.

    they cant say they are upping the rates because they never said they lowered them before.
