They’re a joke. We’re supposed to pay to bug-test their beta software? That along with the still ridiculous 4-3-2-2 queue payouts, 4-pack nix-tix sealed being removed because “the client wasn’t built to accomodate 40-card decks”, cube tickets being a bald-faced scam, MMA packs being $7 and unredeemable, etc. How lowly do they consider the customer? For as good as they are at making a fun and enjoyable game, they are terrible at customer relations. I’d never spend another dollar on any of their products if I didn’t love the game itself as much as I do. All they have to do is lay out a reasonable investment to hire an established development house to make a new client, fix the feel-bad money grab schemes, and stop lying to us. I put in about 20% of the money I used to and I’d go right back to spending a ton if they’d shape up and address this stuff. Like, WoW is $10 a month for all you can play. $25 on mtgo gets you a single MMA draft which is non-redeemable. Shameful.

Draft: It was so slow loading that i couldn’t even select a card. it was so frustrating spending money on garbage like that. I really expect more from wizards, magic is such a great product but i just spent 14 dollars to NOT pick any cards and not even play. I just uninstalled it, i can’t waste my time and be bothered. My computer is fairly new as well, what the hell!

Reminds me of going from Master of Orion 2 to Master of Orion 3.
Was supposed to be a new better, more modern game, failed hard.

Lots of it is clutty. The play interface is harder to look at. Quite honestly the only thing I like with the new client is that I can maximize it without issue having my traybar on the top. And that’s it.

I wonder if they will fix the land issue though… start with little lands, draw none, start with loads, only draw lands. That is another issue though. One that makes me hate the game sometimes though.

Also, did they fix the message thing? Can’t find the messages sent to me at all now.

New client is a mess. The interface is even less intuitive than normal modo…. At least over the years I have managed to figure out how works. I would rather stick with the devil I know.

Maybe it’s Hasbro’s fault… give WoTC some money for the job or something.

To everyone who is going on about ‘give them a chance’, ‘help report problems’, ‘don’t act so entitled’ etc etc, are you forgetting that MtG and MtGO are products, and we are consumers who have spent a LOT of money over the years?

IT ISN’T OUR JOB TO TEST YOUR BETA, PUT UP WITH A RUBBISH PROGRAM THAT’S WORSE THAN THE OLD ONE, AND STILL HAVE TO PAY THE SAME PRICE FOR EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH IT, DRAFTS, TIX, ETC.

That is all.

It makes me sad every time I play DotP on my PC – while not perfect, it has the fluid animations and the look of what a modern UI should be. Not to mention it runs silky smooth on my machine- then I switch to the beta client and I’m greeted to a broken, clunky lagfest.

If this is what the future of MTGO is going to be like it’s not looking very “Shiny”
