I HAVE SOME VERY EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE!

It is time for something that people have been asking for, for a while... A forum rework! Woo! The forums you know and love are about to be streamlined, more organized, and easier to use. It's all very exciting!

I wanted to give you a heads up about what is leaving:

1. Post count- There just isn't a real need for it. Your opinions are valid whether you have 2 posts, or 2,000.
2. Badges (like Lead by Example)- These haven't been available for a while, so we're wrapping it up.
3. The closed beta forums- All of the information stored there is very, very outdated. This information will still exist, just not publicly visible.
4. We're trimming down the amount of boards- We have a LOT of discussion boards, and most of them aren't used regularly. We're keeping General Discussion and Strategy... The rest are leaving. So for example, if you'd like to make a post about lore, feel free to post it...

@Avatar1971:

You might consider merging the 2 feedback forums of "Arena Feedback" and "Feature Requests", I have noticed they often overlap with each other where the feedback wants a new feature or the new feature is really just feedback. Anyway this all sound like a really good change.

Those boards will be leaving! The only boards we're going to have (as of now) are:

• News and Announcements
• Patch Notes
• General Discussion
• Strategy
• Player Support

@Padishar:

Seems good. It has been too many subforums so far. Having only two makes perfect sense.
One thing: Can we have updated selection for avatars, maybe from Standard legal sets?

Yes! That is part of the rework. :relaxed:

Why Epic Games Store? Because Epic Game Store is an awesome partner that is helping bring our game to new people and places.

There are absolutely no plans to create exclusive content, you'll still be able to play with your friends, and existing players don't have to migrate. New players can still download it from our website if they'd like.

Epic Game Store is just one more way for people to play. :grin:

Nothing is changing for existing players. You can still download the game from our website, and there are no plans to make content exclusive to Epic Game Stores. :grinning:

@Plexus#24206:

I am straight up not going through some cumbersome reporting feature. Am really sorry but, it's 2019. We have the technology.

Ok

I totally understand that it would be easier to have a bug reporting function in game, but alas, we don't have one right now. If you want us to look into a specific problem, it's really important that we have log files and any extra information you can give us.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Everyone who is experiencing performance issues, report it! Let us know! Provide us with logs and be very specific in what is happening. Ex: "My game lags after I play a match" isn't specific enough, but "After my combat phase I played___ and the lag started when my opponent reacted with ____."

We’ve got some big news for you!

We’re excited to unveil our plans for the future – one that embraces more opportunities for more players to reach the highest levels of competition in both tabletop and MTG Arena.

Check out the details here:

https://www.magic.gg/news/the-future-of-magic-esports

We know that this announcement has a ton of information and you probably have questions/feedback. We encourage it! We have a Q&A with our both our Esports Director & Senior Manager on WeeklyMTG tomorrow at 2PM PT on twitch.tv/magic.

Note: Putting this here instead of Announcements so everyone can discuss.

Oh hey, card styles.

@wujo444:

Reminder it's August 13th and we still don't know styles for this month ranked rewards cause nobody bothered to post them in 2 weeks, or implement that incredibly complicated feature in client in 9 months.

Good morning to you, too! I'm not a dev so I can't implement in-game features, but I can probably track down the card styles.

Another Mythic Championship Qualifier Weekend is almost upon us! Important times for everyone:

• 6AM PT (13:00 UTC): Day 1 Begins
• 8AM PT (15:00 UTC): Event entry is closed. Players must have joined the in-game event prior to the 7AM deadline to begin playing their matches.
• 6PM PT (01:00 UTC on August 18th): Matchmaking queue is disabled. In-progress games will be allowed to finish.

We have not announced a specific date yet, sorry!

@WotC_Lexie:

I am forwarding this on to the right people!

Please note: When you contact support, they answer tickets in the order they receive them. It often takes them a bit to get to your ticket. Please do not submit multiple.

What's the point of submitting multiples when they won't respond to the first?

I mean, they will respond to the first, so submitting multiple tickets because no one has responded yet doesn't help anything.

I'll pass along the feedback! I think this would be a ton of fun.

@WotC_Lexie:

You can't launch MTGO? I'd contact their support team, then. https://mtgo-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us

Wow, typos getting rediculuous by mods, just wow.

WotC has a game called MTGO as well. I saw this as a genuine issue with MTGO and was trying to help. :relieved:

You can't launch MTGO? I'd contact their support team, then. https://mtgo-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us

You should contact our support team so they can look into it, collect data, and work on preventing it in the future. :information_desk_person:

Move it to the shuffler thread as linked above, please! :grinning:

Note that I am definitely passing along the feedback to our devs.

Personal opinion: It isn't hard to get six wins in a short amount of time, so I don't see what the big deal is.
