Yes, in most of closer bets enter was “pass to everything”, with shift+enter being “pass unless I have any responses”, but after many complaints we flipped those. To get the “hard pass” you’re looking for, use shift+enter.
Err, “closer bets” is “closed beta”. What I get for replying on my phone.
Hey Jay! A bit of constructive criticism, I feel like some of the rewards in the premium pass aren't exciting enough... particulary ones that hand out 6-mana PW's that are basically unplayable, even considering it's one of the very few ways to obtain them. I'd like to suggest adding some Rare/Mythic Wildcards in the mix for the upcoming pass, it could even replace the random Mythic card drop... though I'm afraid Eldrain pass content is probably already decided, but hopefully in the future :) Also, unrelated, I would love to see Wildcards for styles someday, so I can get the style I want instead of earning styles for cards I'm never going to use. Cheers and keep up the good work my man!
Thanks for the thoughts. On the 6-mana planeswalkers (from the planeswalker decks), we didn’t think of those as a big reward, just a nice extra thing to throw in to fill out players M20 collections. In retrospect, I wish that was more clear in the presentation. I’ll think on the other suggestions.
Wow, thanks for the reply! I've got to say I'm pretty blown away that a game I've been playing for 20+ years has someone who listened to my feedback. Keep up the good work and pushing for what the players are asking for. I know it can't be easy trying to advocate for the community when people (like me sometimes if I'm honest) are giving you hell, but you've done right my me and I appreciate it a lot.
I've been playing for 20+ years myself, and, as someone with a pretty busy job, Arena has made it much easier for me to play the game I love. So you can imagine I'm pretty motivated make sure it stays great. Keep up the feedback (even if it sometimes means giving us hell). We honestly are always trying to do right by you and all the players, and it's helpful to hear where we are (and aren't) getting that right.
by refreshing the quest you mean giving us 3 new ones or getting a new one and losing any uncompleted quest over the new one?
Refilling back up to 3, keeping any progress on existing quests.
Regarding this quote from the July 10, 2019 update:
As previously announced, we will remove the level purchase button at the end of this month. After hearing player feedback, we are looking at ways to let people who want to purchase levels to still do so somewhere. But this will be surfaced in a natural and not "in your face" way.
Is that going to happen during the Core 2020 season? I knew that gems-for-XP is contentious, but (much like OP's suggestion) it seems like a safety valve to prevent frustration for people who are just barely short of a desired reward at the end of the season.
If you've purchased the Mastery Pass, you can click on any level you haven't gotten to yet to purchase your way to it. As we've said, this isn't the way we intend players to get their levels, and we'll be providing several options for players to earn the XP they're missing. But if this is the right answer for you, it's available now.
Will be still 15 levels given out via codes/events as promised? :) thanks for the answer
You'll be able to get the 15 levels we mentioned through events and codes, yes. By my math we've got 9 out currently (2 codes for 2 levels each, 5 through the Planecation events). There's more coming too.
quick question, can mastery orbs be saved for future sets or they must be spent on m20?
Mastery Orbs earned in M20 are only for that Mastery Pass. If you have unspent orbs for M20, the pass will stick around for you to be able to slot them in until the ELD pass ends.
What's the final day for this battlepass?
You can earn M20 progress until early in the morning on 9/26; it ends just before the Eldraine pass begins. Also, when the the new pass starts we'll be fully refreshing all your quests and weekly wins, so you can start the new pass with a fresh slate.
Glad you're enjoying it! We definitely keep an eye on player feedback (wherever it's given). On your request for a grindable XP event, well, we'll see what happens there.
every time i try to report a bug that seems like a overly complicated process and i usually just give up. I don’t want to log in and fill out a bunch of forms. It made me lose a Draft match a few days ago and i tried to file a complain about it but gave up shortly afterwards.
Please report this! I get that it can be tedious to login and fill out the form, but we need to see your log to help us fix the issue. Clearly what we fixed yesterday didn’t fix all cases of this bug, and we need more info to keep tracking it down. There are engineers ready to start looking at this immediately, but we need that log.
Nexus of Fate is still banned in Bo3 Direct Challenge...
We're aware of that and working on a fix. It wasn't ready in time for this patch, and we didn't want to wait on getting these fixes out.
I got this bug last week in Draft (July 20), I watched the VOD of my game against a streamer and my avatar wasn’t correct
That matches; the fix went out in the update on the 25th. Since your match was before then, that was when it was bugged everywhere.
We’ve identified a fix for this and are working to get it out soon.
In the prior build this was a general bug. We thought we fixed it, but it turns out the bug still happens in Direct Challenge (but is fixed in other modes). We’ll fix the DC portion in a future update.
Hi Jay, I wanted to buy some of the items that left. Guild bundles, the cavaliers and some other stuff that rotated out. There’s no chance to get them back, right? Had no idea they were leaving.
They’ll be coming back at some point.
Totally agree, and we’re working on getting proper in-client communication here.
Should be fixed in tomorrow’s patch.
This is on our (long) list of polish improvements we want to make. Under the hood this is a quest to get 1 weekly win, which chains into a quest to get 2 weekly wins, etc. That leads to the display you see, showing your progress on your current quest. I agree that something that indicated the total available would be more clear.
It’s on our list of “things we’d like to do”. Fair warning: that’s a long list.
I submitted the bug to Wizards separately, but the video file was too large to upload, so here it is.
Thanks for the report. We’ve identified the issue and are working on a fix.
