MtGPQ falls "below the fold"

ElfNeedsFood

I sure hope we don't become the new Adventure Time Puzzle Quest game...

In the Apple App Store it doesn't appear under "Magic Puzzle" search either anymore, it used to. Now it _needs_ the quest part too.

It was good while it lasted, y'all

What a shame.  Such potential wasted.

There is a new MTG RPG game coming out at some point, although rumor has it it'll be an MMO so 50/50 if that'll be playable either.

I keep checking in on Valor's Reach (https://toucharcade.com/2019/03/22/valors-reach-announced/) to see if that ever started becoming more wildly available, but I think it's still only available in a couple European countries or something like that

Yeah, one of my coalition mates lives in one of the random European countries and said the game was pretty meh.  Haven't heard anything new about it in months, though, so I assume the limited release isn't going super well.

Dang, I liked this game.

I played a couple of OGW games this morning.  Bizarrely, there was no change to the game experience, despite the fact that on the D3 forums home page, the MtGPQ forum category is now indisputably ordered 3rd.  People may have different opinions about how this can possibly be!

I think its a general feeling of uneasiness with the game falling into the same banner slot as a game that was shut down combined with the general feeling of uneasiness from tons of top players leaving the game and seemingly fewer new players coming in combined with a general feeling of distrust coming from the plethora of bugs, glitches, and lag time we need to deal with every day

The top-left slot is the default position for when a new sub-forum is created, therefore MPQ and MTGPQ were incidentally shifted over one slot.

It wasn't to subconsciously rank our game sub-forums, and we aren't planning on shutting down the game either.

Plenty of valid concerns there, but the forum thing isn't one of them IMO.

They have to put the new game forum somewhere; putting it before mtgpq (and mpq) isn't caused by any attribute of mtgpq (or mpq); nor does it affect mtgpq (or mpq) going forward.  It's literally of no consequence (though a fun way to stir up controversy, as elf has successfully done!)

And the release of a third title has to be a good thing.  It means the studio is doing well enough to expand on output, and it's another revenue stream for them.

Just FYI, it's an ARPG. Diablo-esque, it seems.

Adventure Time would suggest a 3rd title wasn't a good thing. Question is if they hired more staff to focus on the new game or pulled staff from the other 2 games.

It could go either way. The GI Joe game bombs the same way Adventure time did and gets killed off quickly (which is more likely) or they pull their resources from MTGPQ and let it die instead. I don't see all 3 games co-existing

Well, maybe.  However, atpq had already been released when mtgpq started, and so D3 was publishing them (as well as mpq) simultaneously for most of mtgpq's existence.  If the addition of GI Joe exceeds some supported app limit for D3, then shouldn't atpq have caused problems for most of mtgpq's (and mpq's) life, and shouldn't there have been a significant positive effect on mtgpq (and mpq) once atpq stopped?

It also makes sense that there's not a huge impact on mtgpq based on D3's other activities because most of the effort towards the game comes from the developer, not the publisher.  (The developers for mtgpq, atpq, mpq, and GI Joe are all different companies.)

I just saw that yesterday too.  Fingers crossed it'll be good then.
There's also another MTG game tagged as "coming soon" in the Play Store.  Seems like a standard Pay-to-Win CCG style, but as always the ads aren't very clear.

Looks like MTGPQ is gonna have some serious competition for MTG-themed games coming out soon.

AdventureTime PQ was at the bottom of the list, although I don't think that was chronologically first?  

In any case, carry on and keep on matching!

Glad to know this game isn't being put down yet.  'Ol yeller lives on!
