The duo color planeswalkers for sale this week only have 28% discount on them. In previous years they had 43 % discount so I hope this will be corrected next week. Or is this another quality of life improvement..

    I'm pretty sure this is because the first week of the sale is mono-colored PW as Webcore announced. So any non-monocolored PW in the vault right now is not part of the Xmas sale. That the discount is the same on mono-colored PW as it was in years past is good evidence that the discount on 2+ colors and colorless PW offered next week will be the same as in years past.

    The reason I am a little skeptical is that I have never seen a 28% discount on a duo color planeswalker 🤔 Why would you do that a week before the Xmas sale? 🧐

    The dual walker that I see for 28% discount also doesn't show in the upcoming list for me so that doesn't give me much hope.

    It’s a fact 😵‍💫 Duo color planeswalkers have a 28% discount instead of a 43% discount 🤐 With a VIP account a duo color planeswalker now costs 470 mana crystals instead of 372 mana crystals 🤯 That’s a 98 mana crystals difference 😖 That’s what I call a quality of life improvement 😤

    Another sign of reducing the player experience. It seems like such a small thing, right?
    We take a bit of crystals by reducing the discounts.
    We take a bit of crystals by reducing log in rewards.
    We take a bit of crystals by reducing less holiday entrance fees.

    Seemingly small, but all in all the pile is getting larger. It makes me wonder what's next.

    Anyway, strike 3 for me. I used to pick up VIP during the holiday season to enjoy the discounts. This was the last time for me, sending money in Webcore's direction feels like a big mistake to me. We've endured enough setbacks by now, and I'm definitely not advising it to others anymore either.

    Less gold and packs from log in at month, less discounts at holidays (which are almost the only ones in all the year), also not discount for the extra deck slot for each PW (other years we had from 150 to 75 gold) they said we will have an import/export tool for the decks but one year and a half later still have nothing new about, some cards only available for paying with real money as the "Coalition Victory". Dakkon planeswalker was only available this year for real money from February until now (One entire year not available for gold). Little steps for moving the game to a pay to win?

    Well, when they mentioned quality of life improvement, deep down they probably never mean its player's life they want to improve.

    This is simply another push they make to improve they own greed. And perfect timing to execute this, on this Christmas.

    Less daily rewards, reduce discount, nerf legacy stuff, overpower new stuff, push crystal buy, and more to come on 2025! Pay-to-Win scent is thick in the future under Webcore development.

    Well Happy Christmas to you too Webcore. I bought four new dual colour Planeswalkers which cost me nearly 400 more crystals than I was planning on spending. I'm going to submit a ticket in the hope that this was an oversight, and not one of the meanest acts of any developer since this game started.

    This is the time of year i usually pick up VIP for the sale. Between the "Quality of Life improvements" to the login system and this i do not plan on giving them my money in the future.

    Ah, I see there's already a post on this great move by Webcore to push the game even more to pay to win. Sorry for my double post here:

    Well @Magic:PQ Support Team , I'm sure you'll let your bosses know what great decisions you guys are making, right? Merry Christmas!

    Losing login rewards, lowering the sale discount on dual walkers and dailies not being 50% discounted like every year. These changes will have the opposite effect of whatever they are trying to achieve.

    Rewards and QoL (actual QoL changes) should improve the older a game becomes. No one wants to go backwards, they'll just go away.
