M19 was released for PQ over 2 months ago on July 31st. With its release came 6 new Planeswalkers and a single new event that awarded M19 boosters.
Now, 2 months later, Guilds of Ravnica is likely to be coming to PQ soon and yet…
We’ve run The Dragon War all of two times. Instead we’ve been running events from 4 expansions ago.
The 6 new M19 Planeswalkers have yet to all be released for cash, let alone for crystal purchase.
Why the severe lack of this expansions event? Why the poorly timed Planeswalker release schedule? Hell, it took you 2 months just to offer all 4 of the exclusive M19 dragon mythics even. Just what is going on over at the scheduling department!?
I hardly have any M19 cards, due to the fact that they are not awarded that much (I don’t play TotP). And with all these PWs released and to be released, I need my crystals for that.
This is a real bummer whenever a new set comes.. We want those new toys, to see and use them. M19 is the first set in pq that I haven’t “connected” with
This is a really intersting stat, and indeed we played The Dragon War only twice in August, when we are currently running God Pharaoh that first appeared in July 2017
Across Ixalan event is still going on with old set that will be the first to rotate. Event name should be changed and reward changed to a more recent standard, preferable m19 to help with the shortage.
I honestly think Across Ixalan type even should reward m19 instead of ToTp. Totp is hard and does not have the flexibility of across ixalan which got rechargeable nodes. You can get all your rewards in across under 15mins with the flexibility to play easier nodes when they recharges.
ToTp is hard and requires one to many nodes to get all rewards. As such, it takes an average 1 hour to get all your rewards with the fastest decks in deploy or huf/deploy. It could take more since legacy is hard and losing is more probable. The difficulty is certainly the reason why many chose not play it.
I think totp should be made rechargeable and/or reduce nodes to make it on par with Across Ixalan
There used to be 2 or 3 new events with every set.
1 PvP
1 PvE
1 Planeswalker-Specific PvP (not every set)
Under Oktagon, we are getting 1 new event per set, alternating between PvP and PvE.
That’s why the content is getting stale. They just aren’t making new events, so we are forced to play old ones (or just run the Dragon Wars twice a week every week, which would be a nightmare)
I used to feel the same way with Ixalan, @Leufbidir. I haven’t “connected” with M19, and people talk about cards that I don’t have, and I fully expect to have to craft them if I want them at all.
I agree that the M19 set is too hard to acquire. TotP isn’t an option for most people - too expensive and you don’t break even. I am not necessarily advocating a drop in the entry price, (although, maybe it should be) I’m jut saying that as the only regular way to acquire more M19 content, (apart from crystals we are busy trying to accumulate for the upcoming Ravnica release or Booster crafting) the risk of losing it is too prohibitive for most.
This set may well pass me by, but after acquiring most of Ixalan and experiencing the set as it was designed I will actually be sorry to see it go.
I think they gave us so few oportunities to win M19 cards because they wanted us to buy them instead, but M19 is an underwhelming set. I’ve bought next to zero packs with crystals (althought I’ve spent some jewels), and I’ve been saving up for Ravnica for weeks now. Power creep in earlier sets (and masterpieces in this one) has made owning the majority of M19 cards unnecesary. Power creep might continue to be a problem in Ravnica who knows.
ToTP was made to be challenging legacy content for top-end players (it actually used to be harder and require a perfect to get the 30 crystal refund)
It was also made to be a way to convert crystals into jewels. You aren’t supposed to make a crystal profit off of it because the rewards are so good (booster and a good number of jewels).
ToTP should stay the same. We should just get more new events with every set that will give us more opportunities to win packs from that set.
I’m confused. My comment was toward someone who said ToTP should be made easier to be more like Across Ixalan. How does one do that but keep the same level of difficulty?
And in general, what change could be made to ToTP at all that would make it “less stale” without changing the difficulty?
It could change in a way that’s different from the way you sugested.
Changing the objectives is the most obvious way to make it “less stale” without changing the difficulty, but there are other ways too, like changing the sets you play, locking planeswalkers into some nodes, maybe adding in some of those weird PW effects from Dragon Wr. Supercharge, Enrage. There are all sorts of ways.
Oh, wewre talking about TOTP arent we Ok, so supercharge and enrage and objectives won’t work.
Ok, in an attmept to drag it back: I like we get M19 boosters in TOTP now, but it doesn’t make TOTP into M19 content, because weve been playing it for so long already.
Once again, they’ve opted to run yet another HOU event over the upcoming weekend instead of something newer.
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with this development team. Can’t run current content, can’t update daily rewards to standard packs, cant update the basic booster to standard, complete neglect of “monthly” Q&A’s…
The lack of m19 rewards has had me scratching my head since its release. It would be nice to get more than one new event per set, for sure. It would be nice to actually see the event from the new set come up more than once a month. If these requests are too much , why can’t we get m19 packs in place of hou packs? We have 3 hou events in heavy rotation compared to 1 m19 event . I don’t even really care about m19 at this point, but I hope this isn’t the new normal
Ok, so supercharge and enrage and objectives won’t work.
