@WotC_Lexie:Read more@ajBads#03877:Just seen this. Lexie, most of the UAE stores ( never mind the LGS sector ) are closed by Government Order now, and have been closed "under advice" for about two weeks. Finding an active store will be nigh on Impossible for AjBads. I have a close friend out there who is considered Key Infrastructure, he's literally only allowed to travel outside the house when actually working. Store owners apart from food, pharmacy, and essential supplies are now officially barred from opening rather than advised. This is not the US or a similar country still not bothering to officially lockdown, and your suggestion of "Call larger stores in the nearest major city" is no use as there is no suitable "M...[[58194,users]]Then call larger stores in the nearest major city. A lot of stores are participating, so I bet you could find another.
It is 2nd week of FNM event in MTG Arena but still no luck for LGS who give codes for card sleeves.

Yeah, Nobody should be going anywhere, so online purchase confirmation or the store sends you the email? Or is WotC encouraging ppl to break self isolation and social distancing guidelines?
A lot of local stores are still taking orders via their websites, phone, email, social media, etc.
I'm all for this, awesome how Wizards is trying to support local game stores during this crisis!
Can someone please explain how this is going to work? Will game stores have codes they send after you make a purchase, or should we send proof of purchase to wizards somehow?
Thank you!
How this is done depends on the store. I would try calling your local game store for details.

This game is for children now. Where is New Phyrexia? Eldrazi? Innistrad? All the dark and beautiful realms? This is the first time I am not interested in the new set. Anyone feels the same?
... For example, Mothra. Mothra is all for me. I am the Moth Queen.
As soon as I see Godzilla, I'm thinking about the world Tohei created, not MTG

look at the architecture of human cities, how does that shown on Mothra card fit in the same world?
Well, she thematically does (giant beasties) but visually doesn't. That is why Godzilla and Mothra are alternate art. :grinning:

Read moreOne person roping you (or even multiple people for that matter) doesn't mean that we "do nothing". It just means that people are rude and do it. Of course the more matches you play, the more people you'll run into with a bad attitude. People do this kind of thing on every game ever.
Rest assured that we do take action on accounts that are repeatedly reported for roping. Just because you don't see it, or experience it from multiple people, doesn't mean that we don't take it seriously! Report the player so we can look into taking action.
What if you are one of those people (like me) who refuses to use Twitter , Facebook and all that other junk? I do NOT want to set up a Facebook account. I do NOT want to set up a Twitter account. I would have no issue walking into my LGS but of course during these times they are closed. So what then?
You can look at their social media to see if they're participating, and then call or email them.
my store had me post my screenshot to their discord. and others are too. is that correct? or does it need to be social media so Wizards can see it too?
Nope, just Discord is totally fine!
(Editing to say that if this is your first time using Discord, it is SUPER easy to use and you're going to love it! I have used a LOT of voice clients to play games and Discord is by far my favorite.)
This is a lot of work for a sleeve...
If you deem that it is too much work for a sleeve, then you don't HAVE to go through the steps to get the sleeve. You can still participate in the event. The FNM at Home events is just one of the things we're doing to connect with local game stores in these hard times. We want to build community and connect folks (online). :slightly_smiling_face:
@WotC_Lexie:You don't need to go through Discord, unless that is what your local game store of choice is using to communicate with people. If your local game store doesn't link their social media accounts on their website, I suggest trying a game store in the closest major city to you.This is a terrible event and you should pass this info along. There are a lot of people like me who don't have a local scene. The last card shop around here that did any events closed years ago. What am I supposed to do? Go beg on random Facebook MTG pages?
It doesn't have to be from your local scene if you don't have one, and you don't have to "beg". Just look at their Facebook wall to see if they're involved, or message them like "Hey are you participating in the FNM at Home Arena event?" In my experience, stores are most active on Facebook.

Hello , I have the same problem (black screen).
I use a Windows 7. Please fix it.
If you are running into a black screen upon update, your computer just needs to be updated! Please download the latest version of Visual C++ vc_redist.x86.exe to fix this. You can do so here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
Hello ,Unfortunately Mac isn't supported by us yet, so if you have already tried the suggested update fix I'm not sure how else to help. :slight_frown: Read more
I experiencing black screen issue.
Two updates ago, i receive a black screen with Arena cursor and no sound. I've tried Wizard's fix they put on the forum and it doesn't work. I've uninstalled/reinstalled many times and used Wizard's supposed fix both times with no success. Found a way to fix it? I don’t play Magic for weeks now cause this problem.
I've spent days trying to fix this issue with no success so far... I tried everything and anything in the troubleshooting guide, I use the latest version of parallel desktop because I use a MAC, before it all worked now with new updates no.
I have an issue regarding "FNM at HOME" event. I cannot find LGS near me to claim codes for card sleeves due to I am only playing MTG Arena and not paper cards. Kindly help players like me to claim codes by alternative way (e.i. emails).
Keep reaching out to local game stores! I would bet that one within a few hours of your home is participating, though it may not be one in your immediate city. :slightly_smiling_face:
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!
If your game isn't working, the first place to look is our Status page. It is linked at the top of this page under "Status". It is also linked on the forum home page. Our Status page will show if there are any issues currently happening with the game. That page also gives updates as to whether things are resolved. If that page does not say that things have been resolved, then our investigation is still ongoing.
My advice is to stop trying to start a match until this is resolved. Trying to play the game while the game is having issues never goes well. Just keep an eye on the Status page and we'll update folks when things are resolved. No need to reply "same" here. :slightly_smiling_face:
