A proposal for a new event schedule.

in MtGPQ General Discussion
While it is nice to see so many event options, dumping them all on us on one day creates a pileup followed by a void. Instead I would propose the following schedule for 3 non coalition legacy PvP events, a coalition standard PvP event, a non coalition legacy PvE event, and a coalition standard PvE event:
Monday - Wednesday: Legacy PvP #1
Wednesday - Friday: Legacy PvP #2
Friday - Sunday: Legacy PvP #3
Monday - Friday: Legacy PvE
Tuesday - Thursday: Standard PvP (coalition)
Friday - Monday (cutoff): Standard PvE (coalition)
TG and TotP as usual
This would nicely distribute the events so as not to overwhelm players and give people more options to play during the weekend.

    That’s a nice, balanced schedule, great proposal. FWIW I’ve always wanted to see two legacy PvE events per week instead of one. Nine fights over four days seems ridiculously extended to me; I’d rather have double the events at half the length - more variety, more prizes.

    Just so I understand, is that a two-week schedule?

    One week, I just divided it into non coalition and coalition parts, having that over 2 weeks would be far too little.

    Sounds very reasonable.

    Thanks, I wasn't sure how to read it.  Looks very solid to me.

    Hey as far as I know we still need you to tell Oktagon, right? But looking up there seems players want things spread out a bit.

    Like in those old horror movies with Brigby's eyes watching from behind the portraits on the wall.

    This would be good. Especially since I could then skip fate is rarely fun without feeling like I'm missing something. Worst event ever.

    I honestly think changing it from 5 vehicles to 3 would mostly fix it. That and/or dropping enraged...

    Is there anyone who genuinely looks forward to FiRF? I mean I like it sometimes just to test really crazy decks that have absolutely nothing to do with objectives in enraged mode -- it's basically my TG for Enraged. I've never once built an event optimized deck for it though.

    I do like firf. But I've chosen to drop it recently in favor of terrors which is my favorite event. Decided I wasn't going to do both.

    @bken1234 that's the only thing I play it for anymore as well
