(even if these discussions here in forums won’t have any consequences on CPG commercial choices, I’m just curious)
Poll: Who wants Unranked back, AKA a way to play casually?
2 Likes
I put my 2 cents in. Having unranked mode is of course better than not having it but it looks like the game is not popular enough to sustain two queues. Now for those who like/want to play memes/testing decks/ect you should ask yourself ”where I want to be at the end of the season?" If your goal is gold/diamond you can easily reach rank 10/5 and than play whatever you want. If silver is enough for you or you don’t care about rank the problem isn’t even there, play the deck you like the most. Finaly, who wants to hit s rank knows that you must play competitive decks to reach it and actually those types of players like to do that and grind. What I’m basically try to say is that you can still play all types of decks and dont worrying about your ranks if you already accomplished your ranked goal, due to the fact that is not possible to be downgraded from a major rank class to the lower one.

wellll… In August last year we had the bug where I dropped from S to Diamond…
You might guess how shocked I was.
Well, a bug is a bug, its not what happen regularly.
First season S? How?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
TBH, I think the default mode should be casual and ladder should be based on paid entry tournaments that cost the same as a draft.
second season of Thunderhorn/Aspect of Shimzar and Luminous Charge. I basically only had to craft 3 Thunderhorn and 3 Luminous Charges as non-common cards. I also invested Gold into Rise of the Bloodbound orbs and got Embla and Corona pretty early.
Another reason might be that I already was a competetive player from Mtg…
And look how many games I spent on ladder… I was trying really hard.
I don’t care about the “end of the season”, that’s a ranker consideration.
I just want to *have fun* everytime I start Duelyst (it’s a game).
and yes, I’ve already been to Silver, Diamond and S

Than if you dont care about your rank there is no difference between ranked and unranked, expetially if yoy are in silver/gold
Read it again.
(seriously, read it, again, please)
I care about having fun.
Playing in Unranked (and Unranked ONLY) from the day it was pushed till its removal, was a lot of fun, every day.
Playing in forced Ranked since last patch was boring as shit, every day.
I don’t know how to put it in a more understandable way, sorry.

Why? Whats the difference between playing unranked and playing in silver with no ranked ambition in terms of fun?
Mindset, decks, people, expectations, chat requests and discussions, mood, these are the differences.
Sorry but I’m gonna stop here, I sound like a broken record, repeating same stuff for 3 days now, trying to get understood and honestly, no matter how long/deep we debate here, it’s not gonna change anything. CPG decides, and they made their call.

Somebody in some previous post has brought up a similar argument, which I don’t understand.
You and those with this same idea seem not to understand that one could want to play competitively sometimes AND not competitively some other times. When Unranked was on, we had the FREEDOM to choose if playing meme/test/past time-whatever, or try to climb the ladder in Ranked. The sustainability of the queue it’s probably at the bottom of the problem as to me didn’t bother to wait a bit longer, and I would trade it gladly for having Unranked back, but this very bit might be not popular not shared by the most.
And I agree with @nwardezir, I also feel like just repeating myself since the conversation has been developed and I explained already my point pretty well. Anyway thank you and thanks to all the others for taking part in this conversation, and if you haven’t voted in the poll, do it please, thank you

Kinda goes to show how insignificant this whole thing is in the first place regardless of whoever gets whatever.
Also, not trying to invalidate anyone when I say this, its just, you have MTG with upwards of 100’s of thousands of players (maybe subtract a 0) and then Duelyst which barely even hits 100 people. How badly does it hurt for CPG to take it away if they are already writhing on the ground screaming in pain anyways.
whyyy 
@nwardezir this is a different take on CCG, i would like to see it work. Duelyst has done different things and it turns out to be amazing. like replace mechanic, the board itself.
if no rotation can be made working, we will be able to play thousands of different combo not limited.
and the problem of powercreep can be solved by aggressive balancing of cards for example lavaslasher and brightmoss debaucle.

Keep in mind, the digital formats keep going under. M:TG Tactics got canned around the 2 year mark and AFAIK the Duel of the Planeswalker release that was supposed to be perpetual is no longer supported. I think regular M:TG online is still running but last time I logged in it was a desolate wasteland.
Ok thats just because wizards are trash with making online ports.
Kinda hard with stuff like instants, but there has been multiple ways to fix that.
Wizards just have never been good at making digital ports for a variety of reasons
