It was a nice idea by Oktagon to give us the monthly Q and A. It started okay, pivoting between great and worthless, but now it seems to be forgotten. Where is it, @brigby? Well get another super Q and A? If the devs don’t have time, why not tell us what’s taking up their time?
Remembering to update things on an ongoing basis is not something Oktagon are good at.
That’s why every single set that comes out, they forget to use the code that already exists in the game to stop Greg targetting himself with all the new creature destruction spells. Even when you start an entire thread about it. Even when you remind them about it explicitly.
The following is pure speculation:
Here is my guess, the devs are split between all the different and new games in development. They probably get 1 week a month to work on MTGPQ, and I am being generous. If they could only spend enough time to make it fun, profitable, and bug free.
But then why embark on all these grand updates, like the LPS, or the Player Profiles? They must know they don’t have time to get them working right. Why not get the card sets out, make the game stable, make the tiny tweaks to events that we ask for (and, suggest!).
When it comes to this recent Q&A, which we’ll likely wrap into the April one, it’s my fault because I’ve been out of office for about 2 weeks during the end of March. Normally that’s the time when I would be submitting it to them, they’d be answering it, we’d finalize formatting, and then post it at the end of March.
Unfortunately because of my time being out for jury duty, everything has been pushed back, so I’m hoping by doing a short Q&A this month and expediting it to get wrapped into a March/April Q&A post, I can get the Q&A back on a consistent schedule.
There’s always a reason. Just like there are always good resolutions. They just happen to interfer more often than not.I don’t believe in such statements when I think about how this game has a history of rather waiting out anything than just talk to us. It’d be nice to be proven wrong.
