What Feature Would You Kickstart Into This Game?

jtwood

Imagine this scenario: D3 & Oktagon have announced that they are going to add an oft-requested, but non-essential, feature to this game. The catch is that they can't afford to add the feature unless they can raise the funds through something like Kickstarter.

What feature would you support to get it added into this game?

For example...

I would pay cash money to get the chance to play real-time PvP against people in my coalition. Just my coalition. Not random trolls.

Disclaimer: This is meant to be a lighthearted discussion. Snarky comments about how you wouldn't pay to have them add features to a buggy game, or that VIP revenue should be enough to fund anything, or that they should just trash the game and start over... none of those comments will matter here. We aren't gathering feedback for a game survey. Just have fun with the idea and imagine a feature so enjoyable - so extraordinary - that you could justify tossing even just a few bucks into the pot to help get it developed.

Being able to choose what deck and planeswalker I play against would be amazing. No rewards Attached, just a proper testing feature where I set everything until the match starts, then it's Greg.

Well you stole my Coalition Vs dream, so here's a weird one:

I would pay for a brand new game, a MTGPQ 2 if you will.

Take the same base game but fix all of the nonsense coding and just redo everything properly.
Add in functionality to actually restrict certain cards in certain events (so instead of pauper objectives we can just have pauper events, or so problematic cards can be banned until a fix is implemented)
Have abilities coded as a class or something so they don't have to be individually programmed on each card that has them (as we've been told is the case in the past)
Have event and pack rotations automatically rotating instead of needing to be individually coded every week.
Stuff like that that would be much easier to program in a brand new app instead of trying to fix the current one.

I could consider paying a small amount of monthly cash to get more deck slots.

Some kind of lvl 0 vip where you get no currency, but you Can support the game for 1 dollar a month and get Access to 2 aditional deckslots per Walker.  (I think slots should not be part of cash paying content, but if the feature was cheap enough i could consider paying for it as a way of supporting the game).

That's not really kickstarting, but that's something i might Pay for.

I’d love to see a separate story mode for each planeswalker to tell their story, highlighting key battles for each. These could be unlocked with purchase of that planeswalker.

I also endorse other ideas to bring more story into play (other than text while loading or attached to the pw as a blurb).

Honestly, I thought that even a $5 per month VIP subscription to would make sense, and throwing in deck slots and maybe a free pack or 2 would make it a good way for a non-whale to pitch in and support the game...

If we're going for a radical restart:

1. I'd love the ability to trade/sell my cards even if it's for in-game currency. This would give me the choice as a player to buy deck slots & planeswalkers, or to try and boost cards I don't have.

2. Drafting. I used to love that in paper magic, not sure how it would work in MTGPQ but building a deck from some random boosters and not a lovingly/expensively curated collection would be lots of fun and good leveller.

3. Diamond league/level. Not for me just yet, but an extra level of rewards, competition and incentive for VIP players who have everything!

I don't know if I'd want to pay actual money for it, but I'd love to see reworks of older Planeswalkers, especially the 5 origins ones, to make them more competitive (translate: actually useful) with the more recent ones. Other games I play rework old characters to keep them in the mix, why can't this one?

I think I would kickstart a feature that let us upload some sort of "guide" file with a deck that instructed Greg how to generally play the deck. Like a list of settings that let us instruct Greg at both a card and deck level. For example, set the deck to "aggro" and prioritize playing creatures and in which order. Or select "control" and prioritize playing spells or supports. And at an individual card level, we could instruct Greg about simple things, like which cards should be played before others, or even how to play new features ("Only play this card's flip side" or "Cast this card with less than full, stored mana").

And then I would want to see how our decks performed in the wild.

Daily quests. Just because it would keep the game a bit more interesting throughout the week. Especially those weeks with events that I will not play. I would totally give $5 toward that goal, maybe $10 depends on what the giveaways are at each donation value.

No need to pay for something that's coming with the next release

100% this!

The option to play against your coalition mate's decks

Man I don't need any new features I just wish the coalition events had good rewards again.

I would love this

I've always wanted some kind of regular tribal event that chooses one of the frequently published creature types and requires your deck to have a certain number. Maybe there could be tribal royalty rewards or something.

Also a pauper event.  Being in platinum tier I get pretty tired of facing the same combos of mythical in deck after deck. (Some which barely give you time to play yourself before a combo has monopolized the game for minutes on end.)  Maybe a legacy format allowing 1 Mythic and three rares or some such.

Can I kickstart in an investigation to hunt down and eliminate the saboteur who keeps putting new bugs into old code every time they have a new patch? Seriously I just don't understand how else to explain how this stuff happens.

Bil

I could kickstart a feature that would be available for every player.

Avahad

How about a feature to ‘hide’ events that you have hit max progression on if you wish to.
That way we could just see what’s still outstanding on a given day.
(you could still bring the hem back out if you want to play them some obviously)

Horadrim

Interesting topic. I would pay for something that allows me to convert resources much like the Horadric Cube in Diablo 3. I am currently sitting at 12M useless runes now and 1.2M useless orbs as well.

Horadrim

I would also pay to join a "Season Journey" with a fresh start character.
