I'm bored.

It's the weekend.

I want games to play.

Why in the name of Jiminy Christmas does OGW always go on for 2 days? Does anyone even play it through to full progression any more?

    The dupe rare isn't worth the effort.

    They should start the Planeswalker Arena event on Friday instead of Saturday, imo.

    Well, in gold it's only a booster and I'm only feeling confident in the first part to get 55 ribbons. To get 10 or less hp at the tyrant challenge is too much of a gamble for me and a booster not worth the effort.

    What I don't get is why RATC doesn't start on Saturdays....

    Anyway, have a nice weekend!

    Edit: I just realize that it probably starting on Saturday for most of you! icon_razz.gif

    I actually did it, there are some rares that are only one time in my library - that's not acceptable, I want those dupes icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Or how about running NoP for 2 days? That'd be less boring....

    Bring back Avacyns Madness! Retool it so that it lasts for 2 days only, and take out the coalition aspects of it.

    I'm sorry to spoil your party, but I play it until the very end because I still don't have all the KLD rares and I try to take every chance to complete them. The reason why I am able to complete this event is BECAUSE I have two days for it. It is fine just the way it is imho.

    This week I finally got the Electrostatic Pummeler. Sweet card!

    This.

    Just because you're done doesn't mean everyone else is. Ask for more content if you like, but don't advocate for taking it away from others. I play it to progression too as I'm still missing a couple Kaladesh rares.

    Also, I'd rather play this past progression than play infinite Barals in every PvP event.

    until I pull Insidious Will I'll keep playing until the end. Tyrant only took me 3 tries to win with less than 10 life ...this time.

    Once you have a good strategy, it's not really that hard. Just get him down to alomst dead, kill your creatures, take damage until your at <10hp,then drop a hasty creature for the death blow.

    I have more trouble with Sphinx no-kill objective. (no hixus)

    I use disable bounce.

    That's a cool idea. I've been using Olivia and Drana with archive for double life gain. I put skeleton key on Olivia to bypass creatures with reach.

    ...how do you get a free rare from this event? I've never bothered with going full progression, because several of the options seem untenable for me currently.

    you need to be in the platinum tier and
    reach 55 ribbons.

    Gatewatch has tiers? I must have tapped through without realizing. I can barely get passed Inverter as is. Can't imagine it getting tougher

    It doesn't get harder. You just get better rewards in higher tiers in all events.

    I'm really not! It's only some arbitrary rule that D3 have made which means they're somehow unable to give you the content that you ask for and me the content that I ask for at the same time.

    Ah, that's fair. Yeah, there's no reason other than burnout on events that they couldn't run multiple things at once.

    How about now? Does everyone still need 2 days to clear OGW now? What's this, the tenth time it's been run? Fifteenth? I've lost count.

    It's OGW part 1, as well! It's not the trickiest set of levels, is it?

    still chasing Iwill so I'm still completing them.... but 2 days for each is a stretch and is another example of laziness and stinginess from the dev team. They may be doing all this work behind the scenes to improve our gaming experience but we're not seeing the result's.
