Having played and loved this game for the past 5 years (hi Deathnote2, DimMak, TeamReckless and retirement1!) I still have a short wishlist of changes I would like to see. Some, if not all, probably have been suggested before already by others. Consider it a bump or reminder in that case.
Feel free to add yours!
Bring back The Dragon War and Battle of the 4 Tribes. TDW would probably be a nightmare in Legacy and should stick to the environment it was created for, but older PVE events should just change to Legacy. They both were fun events.
Use the droprates from From the Vault sets for all sets. It’s so disheartening to get 50-60 orbs from most packs.
A proper extra use for runes, for example deckslots or crafting (up to mythic). I understand it wouldn’t be 5,000 runes for a mythic, probably not even 50,000 but getting so many runes as rewards feels bad. Even watching ads gives runes. Bruh. Of course there should still be runes for newer players, hence an extra way to use them.
A sweet new vehicle for Saheeli. The recent vehicles were either not her colors or supports. I know there is some freedom for the developers to do things a little different like adding a color or type.
Coalition events not continueing till Monday evening CET or even Tuesday. Shave off the recharges for those events.
I dont think any pack that costs jewels should give dupes. You should never feel bad spending a “premium” currency like you do with rare vanguard pack. Speaking of vanguards, why is the user interface on them so bad compared to the full art version. I stopped buying vanguard packs shortly after full art ones were released for this very reason.
I wish I could rearrange the planeswalker selection screen so my most frequent used are up front.
I wish we had a standard button in the card filter screen.
Yes and amen to all of the above. A few random thoughts of mine regarding those above…
The drop rates on all legacy packs should be very generous for the players. I’d even advocate for a single non-dupe legacy card to be frequently offered as a reward for individual legacy events or quest completion. It’s not like anybody is investing real currency in legacy cards, so there shouldn’t be ANY financial impact.
Rune rewards for players who already have millions might actually be worse than not winning anything at all.
Deck slots!! This is such a nuisance. Also, allow us to transfer decks from the event slot to another slot. ALSO, allow us to edit event decks even when there isn’t a charge available on a node.
One more of my own-
End any and all objectives that depend on our opponent’s deck/play. I can’t kill or damage creatures that don’t exist. I should never have to kill my own creatures in order to complete an objective. As a matter of fact, any “destroy creatures” objective (looking directly at ZR: Depths of Agadeem) turns gameplay into a 30 round kill-spell fest that is not fun at all.
A better walker sort on event nodes would be great too.
More “simple” events. Not every event needs 4 special supports and 12 extra rules. Terrors and Avacyn are beloved for a reason.
Non-dupe in anything you need jewels for.
Let us buy standard 3 card generic boosters for runes. It would really help old players who want to get back into the game catch up a bit on commons and uncommons at least
Ooo yes. I feel so bad for anyone joining this game and trying to build a collection backwards to help with non-Standard events. Legacy packs should cost less, or drop better, or something that recognizes the significant uselessness of 97% of their contents.
I want different levels of difficulty in pve events with better rewards for a higher level of difficulty
I want to donate/trade my currencies and packs to other players
And all the other stuff mentioned here
Legacy venguard crafting
Better access to legacy stuff for new players. I takes years to complete the legacy cards even with vip. Especially since the leveling legacy boosters rewards are not nondupe.
Most of the things I want have been mentioned (the lack of a Standard filter and the deck slot stinginess particularly stand out).
However, to add from a more privileged standpoint, it’s a shame that VIP users with a complete Legacy collection still receive Legacy booster packs that can’t be exchanged for anything of value.
Ive held off on VIP for well over a year now just so I would have legacy cards to get from those legacy packs. I figure once the next rotation happens there Ill have enough to get that I can justify VIP.
Here’s eight on my wishlist, some already mentioned above:
Reorder the sets in CARD SET view so the newest sets are always at the top – Origins followed by standard. New non-standard sets can be next after the standard ones. That tiny little scroll down is really starting to irritate! Sure, a standard filter would be great too.
Remove duplicate cards from the same packs. I never again want to open a pack and find two of the same card, whether I paid cash, gold, won it in event, or got it as a daily reward. Can’t be too hard to code for that.
Bump up the HP and mana bonuses on the five Origins PWs to make them more usable/competitive. I’d suggest +4/+3/+2 (with +4 for their colour) instead of +1/+3/+1. Get all the HPs to 100. They deserve a makeover.
Booster crafting. Make the current new set craftable. Make rare vanguards craftable – as someone already said, why on earth would I chance 120 pinkies for a dupe?
Make all the PWs available for sale. What’s the benefit to Oktagon to having these on a slow rotation? Presumably pushing cash sales of the newer ones.
Runes. Oh runes. I have millions of them. So does anyone who’s been playing for any length of time. I remember grifting so hard for runes when I started out, now I’m drowning. They need to have another use because they’re currently just a negative reward. I’d suggest use for booster crafting. This might even encourage players to take up VIP so they can get access to masterpiece cards. It might even get me back to VIP.
Get rid of terrible optional bonus conditions in PvP events. “Win with only Common, Uncommon, and Rare Cards”? Not if my opponent has filled their deck with mythics and masterpieces. If it’s possible to lock out Humans from an event, then it must be possible to lock out Ms and MPs? I know this is about deck building ability, but there has to be a level playing field. Also get rid of the “Win with a Beginner, Expert or Master Deck” objective from Awakened Inferno for similar reasons. Don’t think I’ve ever played against one. I’m sure there are plenty of these objectives that could be added to the list.
Poor rewards for events vs the amount of games required. I’m looking at Nodes of Power right now and wondering whether I can be bothered playing 15 matches minimum to get to 100 ribbons and be “rewarded” with 2700 runes and two standard boosters. If I scrap away for THREE DAYS I might finish in the top 5 and win another standard booster, a dupe rare, and 20 jewels.
