Small 'Quality of Life' Improvements

Some of the recent 'Quality of Life' improvements announced in the game have been drawing some questioning looks (not least from some content creators!)

It's fair to ask "who asked for this?!".

And it gave me the idea to start this thread, where we could suggest small Quality of Life improvements for Webcore to incorporate into the game!

Obviously, there are a number of large QoL improvements that many of us have been wanting for ages, like options to speed up in-game animations, or an improved Planeswalker selection menu, and while I do think those things are much needed, I appreciate that things like that can requite a bit of coding and testing.

I thought if we suggested some easy tweaks to QoL that wouldn't require much coding, Webcore might be quite likely to include them!

    Here's one to start us off: move the 'free boosters' that are given away every 7 hours from the bottom of The Vault to the top of The Vault

    I would love to have the custom deck slots swap places with the basic/expert/master. If that isnt feasible, I would like the deck selection button to swap places with the name of the deck slot. Right now, at least on my device, you have to scroll ever so slightly to reach the bottom of the deck selection screen to pick a deck. Either of these changes would move the selection button to within the initial screen.

    I've said it before when the search function was greatly improved, but I would love to have the option to select a certain amount of colors, i.e. "at least 3 colors" or "exactly 3 colors" or "less than 3 colors". Still mostly for Meeting of the 5, but also to exclude monocolored cards for example.

    Oh, I've got a little change for the card search function, too! I'd like 'color' filters to always allow filtering of all 5 colors, and colorless, regardless of how many colors the current Planeswalker has.

    Currently on the search function you cannot include or exclude colors that are not in your Planeswalker's color Identity. So, Chandra, for example, only has the ability to filter by red or colorless cards. While she's active, you can't tell the search to, say, exclude green cards or include blue cards. But, she's capable of playing with multicolored cards of each color, and I find myself wanting to include or exclude such cards in a search because of the quest journal!

    I’d like to see the devs add some default low-level opponents for new players to match with—at least in bronze level—since their player pool is significantly smaller than the possible opponents for lvl 60 PWs in platinum.

    A level 20 PW and a level 40 PW using the expert decks would suffice. You might as well get some use for those pre-built decks since players don’t touch them—in fact, we’re annoyed that we have to scroll past them in order to get to our decks. You can use the PWs from the relevant sets to encourage new players to branch out from origins… and you can use the current PWs to leverage FOMO.

    @Sarah
    providing opponents seems to be easy by choosing one of the basic 5 pws or any other than adjust its level to equal players level and select one of those predefined decks. Generate a random name as a player.
    Sounds simple to me.
    But there is a minus:
    Restricting the pw selection to the basic 5 shortens variety and allows the player to predict the deck as it is one of three.

    For standard available pw are limited to those with predefined standard decks, of course, to be selected as an opponent

    I know its coming, but i REALLY can't wait to get a search walker function in the "Battle" walker selector section like we have in the PW tab.

    Also...

    Being able to see the passive abilities in there as well... again, the ONLY place we can currently see the passive is in the PW tab, and that's just.... silly.

    So I again, i KNOW these are coming.

    But... I want cake NOW!.

    When it comes to quality of life improvements, I have a lot of appreciation for the devs for making the best improvement ever to event node charges!

    The next big things on my wishlist are:

    • Providing some useful conversion options for runes.
    • Removing the token entry animation that plays one by one (it would save a significant amount of everyone’s precious time).

    I would love to open multiple prize packs in 1 click. I already have more than 1000 and sure that someone here have way more than that.

    I just image a screen showing a counter
    And saying
    Packs opened
    5321
    And counting
    While different boosters explode into lightning in the background

    Just so long as it's hard to accidentally open all my boosters all at once :p

    I'm already mortified that I opened just one of my non-duplicate Standard boosters by mistake last weekend whilst opening the Standard prize packs from the coalition event and got all commons and uncommons out of it...

    That's, what, 20 hours worth of card mastery down the tubes?.... Naturally customer support didn't want to help me 😭😭😭😭😭😭

    I agree with this. If it's just a straight open all packs it wont be of use. I almost always have a non-dupe standard pack waiting for the next set to be opened. If it's a claim all of any given set, that would be wonderful.

    Besides fulfilling a daily quest there was never a need to open one booster until foundation was released so close to dsk that i needed to craft the remaining cards. It was very time-consuming to collect about 100.000 orbs for crafting the missing cards. Only durable by focusing on mystic or masterpiece boosters because a usual booster provides not more than 100 orbs, with some luck, 150 orbs and from time to time 550 orbs.
    While massive pack opening is only an issue for veteran players i love to see an improvement here.
    Opening all boosters of one set sounds reasonable.

    Visually indicate on the gemboard which supports are token supports. Personally I'd suggest displaying the shield numbers on token supports in gray, as opposed to the usual white numbers on non-token supports

    This type of board is all too common against PWs like Ajani, Invigorate Leadership!
