Stale Content.

THEMAGICkMAN

The content in this game has gotten kinda stale hasn't it? A half-week grind for RatC every week and then the same old schedule of events after it. It's getting boring for me, and I've heard of others getting bored as well. 

How to fix it? 

Easy! Bring back old events into rotation, 1 week have RatC as PVE event, next have Fateful Showdown, next Avacyns Madness etc. Etc. Do the same for PvP events, have them rotate randomly through, include old events as well. 

Bring back old events, rotate them, and make them random.

Rotate the colors of nodes on events. It'd take so little time to do, and you used to do it. The fact that you don't any more really speaks to how little you care about us.

Maybe throw in a different card into a PvE deck. And don't pretend that that would throw off the delicate balance of cards in your carefully constructed deck... RatC 2.2 only ever casts Rishkar's Expertise when it has 0 other cards left in it's hand, and RatC 3.2 features Baral, and, I believe, 0 other spells?

Remember those theme decks you got us to build? Why don't you ask us to design some new content for you? I bet we'd all fall over ourselves to design new Heroic Encounter levels. I would. If you're worried about the tiny amount of crystals you'd be giving away, just make the rewards runes instead. Or no rewards! Or, try charging us 100 crystals to play each level, and see if there's enough player uptake to justify doing that on a permanent basis. Whatever, really.

With the general lull of content it seems a good opportunity to replay old events with the same old rewards for players who joined later. We could award the event rares from the Zendikar ad Origins blocks (if Origins had any) to help keep the field even for newer players. 

This is wouldn't even require any new coding, just resurrect the events that used to run with the same old objectives and call it done. Can't recall the last time I was asked to summon a certain number of eldrazi...

Bring back original Emrakul event. The grindy annoying one no one liked. We'd prefer that to what we have now (maybe)

It's becoming even worse. Amonkhet better not have stale repetitive content that bores us all. I would tag the devs in this, but what a the point? They never come here anyway do they.

There are so many possibilities that can't be too complicated to implement. About half of my (top 20-30) coalition doesn't even participate in coalition events because they are too bored to participate. Imagine that! If this happens every few weeks before a new set is released, the game really will suffer in the long run (if it doesn't already).

Literally half my coalition has quit. They need something to make the ga!me more fun.

I couldn't agree any more.  It's like a really bad menu on repeat.    Start the week with a 3-4 day roasted RAtC, have some awful EmO soup on Monday, some tasteless toasted FiRF points on Tuesday, NoP and wine night Wednesday, microwave some leftover OGW Thursday and Friday, rinse and repeat.. for MONTHS!

I feel like this post got a bit lost in this thread:

It does feel like ages since we had any new content, doesn't it? Let's have a look at recent set release dates:

SOI - v1.6 - Aug 11th 2016
EMN - v1.7.1 - Oct 19th 2016
KLD - v1.9 - Dec 8th 2016
AER - v1.10 - Jan 27th 2017

So... about 2 months between sets recently, and now it's been 3 months. That could be why we're bored.

I guess you could count the Masterpieces as a set? But.. there's only 19 of them, and nobody is getting any of them anyway. Oh, sure, we'll get one or two over the next couple of years as we grind away at mana jewels, but having a bunch of unobtainable cards existing in theory is not really the same as giving us new content to enhance our user experience.

I mean, well done on catching up with paper MTG release dates! But... um... we're still bored.

Is it because you're making less money? Can't you afford to pay the programmers enough? Well why not try throwing us a bone every now and again, then! Release the drop rates! Give away a mythic or two for event rewards! Not.Another.Dime isn't set in stone, you know!

But Shteev, if have ways to get all the cards we want, THEN we'll get bored. That's what they think, anyway.

This new way of doing things is so we AREN'T bored. You're clearly not using the right emotions.

We understand that development team is always busy implementing and developing features that noone really asked for (UX, FORUM, UNOBTANIUM, cutting rewards for events, ETC) 
But could we have in the future update (the one after infamous 2.0) a VOTING option for weekend event, can we vote as a community of players on which event WE (players) would like to participate we had 3 PVE events in the past there will be another one with the realease of new expansion but PLEASE stop shoving down our throat the same event over and over and over and over

I think most of us who are still here are just barely hanging on hoping that AKH will bring something new. I can foresee another mass exodus happening if it's not enough.

Now that the off topic posts have been removed from this thread, does anyone have anything important to add to it?
