Thanks for this information, @masterthematrix. Was this communicated to the world outside and did I miss this somehow? First thing I hear about separate pools. (It wouldn't be the first time I miss info, so it could be - although something tells me it wasn't, taking the number of people that are quitting...)
I really hope that they can fix things, and turn it into an enjoyable game for everyone again, because I love playing. I hate seeing it turn into a frustration more than anything else for a lot of people.
I had hoped for at least a little message on the blog to let all unsatisfied people know that there were more updates coming than just the automated tourneys...
I picked it up from a conversation in the maverick channel on discord.
Yeah, communication always could be better but I think as soon this automated tournament thing is out they will be releasing more information about what will come going forward. They even mentioned that delegating cards is also one of their main features to implement. When you think about that this is huge alone by itself.
I had the honor today to play on the Testnet one of those automated Tournaments and it works great! A much better user experience from what we have now.
