1. Netdecking isn't a crime. Quit acting like it's the end of the world haha.
2. They're practicing? I'm not going to take a deck into ranked that I'm not comfortable piloting.

It is totally frustrating! I don't doubt that people are roping. I'd love for their to be an in-game reporting system too. This is what we have right now, though, so please use it. Don't shoot the messenger.

I think it needs to be communicated to the management, and the programming team, just how urgent it really is to have an in-game report function that automatically saves/flags the server-side record of the game, for review by the moderation team.

That really should have been something that was in place and functional before the Open Beta began.

Honestly, there should also have been an in-game feature to report BUGS, that would do the same: flag/save a record of that game specifically, for review by the programmers.

Seriously, that's fundamental online-multiplayer game design 101 stuff.

And it has been communicated. HOWEVER, there are a million things our devs are working on currently in addition to the billion things people want them to work on. The b...

Report them! We do take action, you just don't see it happen. ALSO, when you report them with details/game logs, that is more data for us. We love data. Help us help you pls.

do you know how tedious your reporting system is? especially if I have to report a player every other game? Having to leave the game and open a website? Fill out a form, search through my files and upload logs? Can't you have a report button in-match and review the data server side?

I know these players are roping because I can see them highlighting cards just before they start letting the timers run out. They know they're losing so they rope hoping I'd get impatient and concede instead. People are using your long idle fuses as a strategy to gain a win from a losing hand. It's rampant and frustrating.

Your idle timers are much longer than other games compared to like Elder Scrolls Legends. ES:L can even detect if someone disconnected and yet the time out counters are still short...

I will ask tomorrow morning.

Seriously, the shuffler threads got amalgamated into the mega thread that most of us ignore. Surely it's about time the pointless complaining threads had the same treatment.

For real

You'll be able to purchase them via the store at a later date. :slightly_smiling_face:

Just because your deck doesn't have answers to a certain archetype doesn't mean said archetype is a "no skill" deck. Instead of making a "i hate this deck they always win" post, instead ask "Hey all, what cards should I put in my deck to combat ____?"

wanting to improve > being salty

Wow! Can we give a shout out to this person for being awesome!

I mean, don't get me wrong, I am SUPER salty when it comes to control decks hahaha. I totally get it... I just don't see the need for every five forum posts to be "I hate ____ deck" without it being an actual constructive discussion. There is zero need to put others down for liking a specific archetype.
(I play the same two decks every day. Neither of those decks handle control well. I have accepted that and am too lazy to get gud.)

I get the denigration of the players is not warranted but if someone wants to post that they don't like to play agai...

@Plexus#24206:

What's strange is that they haven't implemented a rating system for your opponent. You +1 or -1 them after a game. And you accumulate a rating over time.

Obviously, it's going to get abused and people are going to get -1'd just for the deck they play or whatever, but that's going to be relatively consistent across the player population. Whereas players consistently -1'd for roping are going to have much worse ratings than average, and that's an easy target for the devs to look into as those players get reported.

It's so simple.

I bet you're wrong. I'm sure that hard control and nexus players will have a worse rating than ropers. No one likes this, besides who plays.

^ This. People would NOT use a system like that as it was intended, and that's a lot of extra work for our support team.

Report them! We do take action, you just don't see it happen. ALSO, when you report them with details/game logs, that is more data for us. We love data. Help us help you pls.

Great question! After a bit of thinking I'm sure I could Land on a choice.

Stu Aitken was the director of the trailer, but still, SO STOKED.

SO

1. Jay will be popping in once he gets settled in, already chatted with him about it. As you can imagine he is EXTREMELY busy with moving into his new position.
2. He'll have an intro in a couple weeks.

P.S. IT'S BEEN FOUR DAYS, people. Two of those days were weekend days. Chill. :relieved:

DO NOT FOLLOW THESE STEPS. USING A WORKAROUND OR DELETING THINGS CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS LATER.

We're aware that things are not working still. Please stop replying for right now. I'll update everyone as I find out more/have more questions!

Hey [[58194,users]] ; @Nimbostratus[[73641,hashtags]] and I figured out that the problem is a DNS issue, and posted a work-around. I think we both deserve job offers from WoTC. I happen to be seeking employment.

Deleting things/work arounds aren't fixes and cause problems later usually. Feel free to apply though?

Thank YOU for playing! :slightly_smiling_face:

For people who are getting "system down", what internet browsers do you use/did you use to download the game? Weird question but please let me know.
