    Mythic or better guaranteed is supposed to be filled by the Elite packs.  At least that's my impression.

    I mean, since we are speaking in hypotheticals anyway...


    I've worked in the financial sector my whole life but I always wondered what it would be like to work on game development instead.

    Alas, money talks.

    At this point, I'm tempted to just go with "Why?  That makes no sense."
    The context almost doesn't matter; the question would likely be applicable regardless :P

    Did anyone take the positions that were up for grabs at Hiberbum? If so, what are their backgrounds in the field?

    I'd ask: "How does the library work?" It seems like it changed sometime in the last few months. And now we have this whole Aven Mindcensor thread where no one can figure out whether the card could be useful or not because no one knows for sure how this game works.

    No, I'm pretty sure we've all figured out that Aven Mindcensor  has a completely useless ability.  My very first rare from the set.

    Yeah I guess it's pretty clear that no matter how the library is set up Mindcensor effectively does nothing.

    I would ask how the player feedback is presented to them (Brigby regular states he consolidates feedback) and how they prioritize changes as a result.

    you might have been off topic, but that was actually really interesting to read. My question remains the same as in my topic: Aven Mindcensor. Why?

    My question would be this:

    "How do I become a designer for this game?"

    I thoroughly enjoy designing games and fan sets/expansions of games that I play. I've designed multiple fan sets of Magic: the Gathering based on Doctor Who, and am currently in the starting process of designing a Star Trek: The Next Generation MtG set.

    I'm sure there are a lot of people who would love to be a designer, especially after having read the designer interview from recent memory. I think I (and many others) would be valuable assets to the game's future.

    Many of the designers and developers for paper magic are players-turned-creators nowadays. Maybe we could start doing that with this game?

    Any links MB? I'd be interested to see those decks :)

    My question:
    What do you need to inhale to come up with the idea of 4-hour recharge and trying to convince everyone that this is actually a good thing

    When are you going to implement game reconnect code?  There is no reason any turn-based network game should not be able to resume from a disconnection.

    @Phillmoore The developers explained the reasoning behind removing Quick Battle in the 2.0 Release Notes HERE

    As of right now, I'm personally unaware of any future plans for adding in additional guaranteed-Mythic acquisition methods, aside from the current Elite Packs.

    @Delnai When you start a game, you create 40 cards in your library; 4 each of the 10 cards in your deck. When you get to the end of your library, 40 new cards are generated, as if you just started the game.

    When you fetch or destroy cards past the end of a 40 card deck, it generates a new, appended 40 card library, then fetches or destroys cards from it.

    @gruntface It's a pretty standard procedure, that I'm sure many companies utilize. I simply compile a weekly report of player feedback, and then present it during one of our weekly meetings. Anything that requires immediate attention, such as sudden crashes or freezes, I send off an email to the developers so they're aware.

    @Formulator I'm afraid I'm not sure what your question is... The MtGPQ card seems rather similar to the paper version.


    When it comes to all the other serious questions, I will be sure to relay those to the developers!
