ANSWERS1. Have the developers heard the concerns of the players wherein a perfect finish awards the first place prize, but a single missed objective of two points or less can plummet a person down hundreds of positions? Further, the bottom bracket of prizes is often a small handful of runes, but can be as large as 250-3000, meaning that less than 10% of players receive a meaningful prize. Are there any plans to address this?Some suggestions the community has proposed, in order of what we’d most like to see:
Make the awards based on % of possible points, i.e. first prize 95% or better, second prize 90% or better, 80% or better etc.
Award prizes as percentile against current players. 90 percentile gets top prize, 75 percentile second prize, and at least 50, 25, and 10 before prizes go to garbage.
Decrease the bracket size down to 250 players or less.
Answer: Thank you for your suggestions! The development team is aware of the community concerns and is already searching for the best ways to improve this experience.
- What is the plan going forward for spellbook releases of each remaining color? If we use the present gap of 6 months, we are looking at 2 years before all are released. The next sets will be gapped closer right?
Answer: Yes, Chandra, Ignited was the first Planeswalker and pioneered the Puzzle Masters series. The team is working on adding more Planeswalkers for each color to the collection throughout this year.
- I’m sure you’ve thought of these already, but if not, have y’all considered mixing up the daily quests?
Something to the tune of:
Defeat Heroic X using a mono-Y planeswalker.
Example: Defeat Heroic Chandra using a mono-blue planeswalker.
Defeat Story Node X using a planeswalker with level Y or less.
Example: Defeat Liliana, Heretical Healer with a planeswalker of level 10 or less.
Defeat Story Node X without casting Y.
Example: Defeat Alhammaret’s Archive without casting creatures.
Defeat Heroic X with only Y cards.
Example: Liliana with only common cards.
Win 2 Training Grounds matches in 8 rounds or less.
Win 3 Trials of the Planes matches with a Mono-colored planeswalker.
And so on.
Answer: Thank you very much for your feedback. Your suggestions have been shared with the Design Team.
- Is there a point to having planeswalkers rotate anymore? At least as far as the ones belonging to older sets, I think they should be permanently available 24/7. You could continue to rotate the ones from the last two sets. I have mentored more than a few new players, and sometimes we have this awkward wait for them to purchase the walkers they have been saving for. This has had the unfortunate side effect of them having to play some events with a suboptimal choice of walkers. So could we please have a much reduced rotation of walkers, so that much older ones are available to be purchased at more convenient times?
Answer: Thank you for sharing this. Are there any specific older Planeswalker that came up during mentoring new players? Please leave a comment below, if you like. Thanks again!
Observation: We know that some of our answers in regards to questions about new features and questions and feedback related to your ideas seem repetitive. It has to do more with the fact that we often can’t say much about upcoming features nor give an estimate on when these ideas could potentially come to the game.
