    MTG: Arena

    Just 7-2 my 2nd sealed, after I 6-2ed the first. The average player skill level seems very low. On MTGO I usually made 2-3 sealed decks, then picked the best, on Arena I just threw some pile together, replaced a land with a card and was ready. Having played legacy for far too long, it seems...

    Anyone that buys the upgraded version with the ludicrous mode and the range extender next month?

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I wasn't sure if this thread was about a shitty SW movie that was already released or not. Solid info was found so thx.

    also my 40$ teferi / nexus standard deck (lol cheap price bro's) lost to the gate deck unsure which is better, white weenie wrecks both though, as well as mono red aggro, so I'm rolling with that

    A minimal financial contribution and a mediocre amount of skill will get you whatever deck you want. This statement has been made several times. You aren't being flamed enough considering your ignorance on the topic.

    I hate MTGA and everything it presents, but claiming it is pay to win is an excessive display of (mental) poverty.

    I fully encourage the spirit that gives players without money, time or skill jack shit. Pras MTG:A.

    And I've found the chromosome smuggler of the MTG:A FoH thread, what is your point again? I don't give a fuck that you can't spend 10$ a week on MTG:A, you being poor seems correct based on your posts in this thread, so don't blame it on that.

    MTG: Arena

    Noone with experience and info is going to argue that aggro decks are extremely cheap on MTG:A, and effective due to the format, so what exactly do you want me to prove?

    MTG: Arena

    I grinded to gold in about 5 hours with a white weenie deck. Did you ever consider you are a shitty player? Or that a 5 hour / month time investment shouldn't give you everything available? There isn't much of a middle ground between these based on your statements.

    If you read my post history you will find me plenty critical. You are plain wrong on this topic.

    MTG: Arena

    Every pauper deck that ever won a league? The point is you could get a cheap deck on MTGO and if you are the undiscovered LSV you can make gains with that deck, and MTGA made it even easier. The entry barrier is the lowest it has ever been with mtg arena, with literally every card being...

    Magic is never pay to win, if you think it is, its time you take your suck-at-pauper ass out of the game.

    MTG: Arena

    I downloaded the client and spent 300$ to build whatever deck I want. The correct statement is "the game is timmy pays to win", since combo decks are a hassle to play and the BO1 format being as popular as it is benefits simple agro strats. Stacking teferi / wilderness triggers and resolving...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    3 months after I asked Brogean to investigate a Sirken issue, no response, Sirken hasn't been back and the whole thing has been forgotten. Seems like a legit operation.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    It really is time people stopped considering "the big companies" as solid. Those times have come and gone. I expect pre-release sales to crash in the coming year, and especially the EA/blizzard/bethesda ones. After star citizen crashes the market will hopefully reform for the better.

    Fun in MTG is a zero sum game. I'm not a good loser, but I compensate by being a great winner.

    Maybe you should read some tutorials on deckbuilding, best archetypes, .. its a relatively low time investment compared to learning through experience.

    MTG: Arena

    If your opponent lands a 2 drop that can put pressure, you want to cast something during your next turn if you don't have board presence. If your opponent gets unlucky and ends up with some garbage creatures, start casting later and make sure you get to at least 7. Casting 1-2 drops just...

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    He had one of the best geared bards serverwide, as you know. He also had one of the largest LoN (legends of norrath, EQ card game which you fund with real money) collections, I mean he had dozens of every mount, illusion, weapon augment, clicky, .. tons of shit, at least worth 5k$ back then...

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    I was told cheatengine could also be used to edit values & timers, since obviously a large part of the RMAH thing was client side, but never looked into it. Blizzard was already failing back then, obviously. Though I greatly enjoyed their amateurism.

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    @Elidroth perhaps you can give us some insight into how EQ handled the no-drop transfer hack, and what the policy on banning RMTers / hackers was?

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    I made around -7k on EQ. I was serverwide 1st bard for a while in a strong guild. I bought a top 10 serverwide SK and SHM from guildmates. These set me back about 1800 each. I boxed the trio for hundreds of hours and kept them max AA for many expansions, their gear got updated through guild...

    MTG: Arena

    Don't worry. Based on their previous games it is likely they will overbalance the F2P income at some point, and once the majority of players is sitting on a pile of gold, they'll cancel the game and launch MTGA: 2020

    MTG: Arena

    I guess me skipping on a game I've played for 20 years, not due to the core product but due to the marketing plan behind it summarizes the gaming industry pretty well. They know what game concepts work, they just don't find themselves generating enough revenue with a normal sales model.

    MTG: Arena

    No I meant magic 2015 and the other games in that series. MTGO has been around a long time, its always been pretty clunky with poor gfx. The magic and planeswalker series were visually far more attractive and were about standard. They all got canned. They have been making pretty games that...

    MTG: Arena

    Not convinced here, their last iteration of the game was solid, had all of standard, and ended up getting canned with a 2 week advance notice.

    Is there any reason to believe this game won't be closed down at a random point in the future, like all the previous iterations?

    Just turn your first dude into a marathon runner, by running across the map without any gear / burden. After he gets etheopian, throw a rock at some enemies and kite them to the nearest city, you are now rich.

    Death of a Game - Everquest franchise

    With all its flaws, the original EQ was a far superior experience then all the later iterations. 5, 10, 15, 20 years of "working" on it all detracted from what made the original a great game. Things like letting every class bind without assistance, letting every class get a form of...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    In GTA they had all kinds of vehicles to sell, RDR only has horses. The range of weapons is also far smaller, as is what they can do with property and clothing without going overboard. RDR just isn't as good a setting to monetize.
