September Q&A Session - Question Submission (9/7/18)

1) How will you address quality-of-life? Meaning: event scheduling with a fair number of charges, and end times that don't suck for certain time zones.

2) How can you make the game more exciting for veteran players? A revamp of the tier system based on skill/results seems to be in order.

1) When will we be able to speed up and/or disable animations via settings?

2) Why can’t we have all charges for an event up front?

3) Will the tier system be modified to reflect standard vs legacy? Some veteran players returning after a long absence are struggling since although they are platinum, they don’t possess enough standard cards to compete.

1) Can we get a mode to tone down the large number of graphical effects?  (glow/shimmer effects on specialty gems; dust motes on Supports; particle trails on life/damage/mana effects that flow from cards to creature/PW; consolidate the Loyalty gains from Huatli, Radiant Champion's first ability into one flow instead of separate for every creature/support; etc.)

2) Can final refresh/end times for Coalition Events be adjusted for at least 10 hours between the final refresh and the scheduled end of the Event, so that players will have an opportunity to complete this with a lowered impact on personal lives if say the final refresh happens at 1am in their time zone?  
  
3) Have you considered converting some of the older PvE events, such as Oath of the Gatewatch and Fateful Showdown, etc., into Story Mode content?  You could put all of these under a new section, and unlock/reset one per week or all once per month so that players can revisit them for rewards again when time permits.  
This would allow for extra Story content without having to craft specific new Story fights that will likely be completed and never revisited, and will also free up opportunities in the weekly Event Mode schedule for current PvE events and mid-week Legacy PvP.

Are there any plans to address the fact that there are serious gaps in downtime on this game for players who have finished the story line when there arent events worth playing or when you've already finished your event charges. Something more rewarding than grinding 100mana runes at a time seems like a good idea.

1- Disable animations and artview in settings.


2- End of refresh system. All nodes available. This ends with time zone issues and playing on Monday. Two problems solved in one shot ! A huge improvement in our quality of life !


3- Legacy boostercraft separated by editions, please! 

Thanks !
