Folks, if you enjoy this video podcast series do me a big favor and just take a second to share it on social media, or just hit that like button or leave a comment. Not sure if RU-vid is angry at it for having the word 'Dies' in the title or something, but I can see the backend analytics on this and shares and likes are GREATLY appreciated here. Cheers my friends!

@thedarkemissary 4 года назад

Except it's not. They actually already proposed that themselves during their Renewal announcement. They haven't done it yet cause they're in the middle of the Eldraine release.

@LedPESRule 4 года назад

@@thedarkemissary Just like in 2 years they haven't fixed performance issues, done any kind of social features, a better UI or any actual permanent format besides standard, because there's always a new set..? Huh. So basically the game will never get better because there's always the latest set to work on.

@thedarkemissary 4 года назад

@@LedPESRule Exactly. The more "new features" gets dropped on their workload, the less likely they'll be able to fix "quality of life" problems. Just like the professor was saying, as the community demands increase, problems that don't garner widespread attention will continue to get pushed back. Unless, their Arena development team (which is a little under 100 people) increases in size, they only have 4 months to program in a new set, while simultaneously having to add features, create monetization opportunities, fix bugs, manage competitive play and improve game quality. Just look at a multi-billion dollar, free-to-play game like League of Legends. It's been 10 years and they still don't have voice chat or custom music playlist, 2 requested features since launch. It took them 4 years just to update their UI from beta.

@deadnoobie2859 4 года назад

21:12 You are only partially correct. Rarely do you get only a single card to finish a deck. Likely you would have spent your wildcards for the Wurmcoil, but what about any of the wildcards you spent on the rest of the deck? What if the entire deck is no longer viable? You may lose a lot more wildcards than just what was used for the Wurmcoil.

Pauper Cube would be interesting because Arena doesn't have specific animations for most commons or uncommons you can just use the same sound effects for most of the same creature types, the specific cards tend to be low complexity while still allowing them to programme in a bunch of different mechanics.

@thedarkemissary 4 года назад

You can't hate on bot drafting while also championing casual devices like mobile, tablets and console. They are inherently opposite focuses to the experience. Bot drafting allows the casualness of dropping in and out of matches, playing out a draft over a week's time. Perfect for those who aren't going to devote several hours to the game. Perfect for new devices like mobile, tablets and console.

@DynamicSheep 4 года назад

It's kinda nice to start a bot draft knowing that there's no pressure to finish. You can literally walk away in the middle of a pack, come back, walk away after a few games, come back and finish. No time limitations is definitely an advantage over actually drafting. That being said, actual drafting would be nice.

Nah, its very clever manipulation...

about cube contentideas for Arena: I think they will start with simple stuff like a Planar Cube: Zendikar, since we are returning to zendikar again. Cards from all zendikar sets. Then maybe some other plane like Mirrodin (should be near in line after Zendikar).

@theophilosklonaris4859 4 года назад

To respond to Vince’s point, the reason people don’t want a curated list of random cards is because those cards will do exactly what you said; make new decks appear based on those cards. Historic is supposed to be a place where we get to play with our standard cards of the past. We don’t get to do that if they keep adding random powerful cards that make all of our old cards that we actually got from standard irrelevant.
