I like it so far hard to find your decks at 1st but the layout makes it easyer to deck build I think.

This is how i found my decks go to the (deck box) on your collection screen(should be a box on the bottom of that screen) and click it and hit the browse block and then it pulls up a windows box type in c:\users\user\appdata\roaming\wizards of the coast\magic online\3.0\decks

and you should be able to find your dck if you made a new folder in the old program add that file name to the end of the dir name that i typed above^^^^ rem that your decks are hidden files and will not show up by themself in your windows box at 1st

have fun I am

later

Haven't tried it out yet, but from what I see, I think its going to make the play experience much better once you get used to it.  In my opinion, the current client is pretty terrible and clunky, so any changes and updates are very welcome!  I'm looking forward to trying it out!

Ack!  I remember when they did this the last time and it was a disaster.  I will check it out if I ever have any time in my life again.  Right now, it seems to be work, sleep, road trip or company) on the weekend.  Whew!  Tired......

so far not a fan,  but im usually never a huge fan of change to begin with  dont like  how the  lands and crits stack on top of each other,  dont like how the chat box isnt docked to a side   dont like the new attack across the border  :)   but  like anythign  once i get used to it  it will be  what i will use  since i will have no choice!  :)

Tried it twice now, and if I had a choice I'd keep the one we have.  Different is not better.

deck building is awkward

can't resize cards

check boxes<drop downs

can't rearrange cards on playing field

boxes can not be individually resized...only l/r up/down, can't drag corner of ,say, upper left

no mulit-player room

new card enters the battlefield and everthing rearranges

multiple window instead of tabs

can't choose card layout

foilies are still ugly

have to use more clicks to do the same thing for most functions

search isn't as good

can't believe after this long this is the best they came up with

if we're forced to accept this i'll probably be gone for good this time, might even reload the old microprose gamecool

Oh man, that sounds so much like the last time.  I dunno......  So, you might reload Shandalar?  woot!  That's where I learned to play magic in the first place.  Kinda fun game......

One good bit of news for those that don't like the client; the timeline is so vague that it will probably be 2+ years before it gets out of beta.

 

I'll withold judgment until I get a chance to use it for a while.

I'm not a big fan either.  I've tried it a couple of times and think it needs more options to make the change easier.  How it does not have all the existing options worries me that they might change and we lose out...again.

 

However, I do feel its important for everyone to provide feedback.  I'm going to spend time today.  I cannot lose sight of the fac that with a new client, we should be setup for tons of new features and functions, of which Leagues are one!!!!!

I don't know what I did, but I tried to get into the new client and all I succeeded in doing was getting into the same old game we always play.  I kept saying, it sure looks the same, so I guess it just was!  I will try again in my "spare time".

It was a temporary beta, I think it's over now.
