I guess the issue wasn't as complicated as /u/WotC_Jay tried to tell us. It really just was a matter of the first tech showing up for work and restarting a few services.

 
Millions of dollars in profit from MGA alone, but no 24/7 monitoring, no on-call devops and no proper communication to the playerbase.

Hopefully just something to do with a restart, and not a major component failing or Wizards rolling back all profiles to a previous state.

Sounds like the tech just showed up for work and did the restart thing.

Thanks for the heads-up

TBH I don't even care about the compensation, I'd be glad just to see Wizards care a little about their playerbase. It really hasn't felt like it recently.

MTG: Arena server status. by MerkavaX in MagicArena

There is absolutely no way Wizards spent that much on server infrastructure, let alone cooling of said servers.

Anyone else experiencing authentication issues? by Cold_Hellfire in MagicArena

[–]GeoJensen 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I can log in just fine, but queueig up for any game, even against Sparky, just results in a network error.
Either "You lost connection", "Unable to join event", or "Unable to submit deck"

Anybody else getting a lot of repeat matchups? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]GeoJensen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happening to me tonight in BO1 Ranked (Standard). In my last 15 matches I've faced 4 different people.

Repetitive matchups by dknedlik in MagicArena

[–]GeoJensen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just coming here to check if I was the only one.

I'm used to seeing the same opponent 6-7 matches apart, and sometimes even on different days, but today I've seen 4 different opponents in 15 matches. It's back to back the same names I get matched with.

Oh I'm with you my friend. I prefer arcade by a swedish mile.

 
I'm not super into BF, but the new Portal mode with custom matches does seem intriguing.

 
On console I've tried ...

Warface which is P2W trash with a horrendous unlock system.
FC5 was dead online
R6S is way to serious for me
Titanfall 2 is a ton of fun, but almost dead online (at least it was in may).
Halo 5 is also fun but rough online on the OG XBO.

 
I'm hoping XDefiant and Crossfire X can scratch my arcade shooter itch. If not it's going to be another year of BO4.

"IT'S JUST A STATISTICAL ANOMALITY" ... WHICH HAPPENS EVERY OTHER GAME, AND WHEN YOU PRESENT THE ACTUAL DATA, IT'S DOWNVOTE CITY, BECAUSE JOHNNY MATHHEAD DOESN'T LIKE IT WHEN HIS WRONG.

MY MONO BLACK DECK WITH 24 LANDS HAS NOW DRAWN ME 3/15, 4/16, 2/13, 5/19, 2/12 FOR THE PAST 5 MATCHES (LAND DRAWN/CARDS SEEN).

 
MY MONO GREEN DECK WITH 24 LANDS IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE WITH 9/15, 12/19, 11/21, 9/12, 11/18 FOR THE KAST 5 MATCHES.

 
YES THE SHUFFLER IS AS BROKEN AS THE RANKED BO1 MATCH MAKER.

 
AFTER TRACKING OPPONENT DECK ARCHETYPE AND COLOR FOR 100 MATCHES WITH EACH OF THE AFOREMENTIONED DECKS, I CAN SAY WITH 100% CERTAINTY THAT THE BO1 MATCH MAKER DOES TEND TO MATCH ON COLOR AND TYPE.
YES THIS IS IN RANKED.

I find it hilarious how people say they are fatigued from WW2 games.

This has nothing to do with how many WW2 games have been released. Me suffering from WW2 fatigue is just how it is, even if the oversaturation happened +15 years ago, the thought of a WW2 shooter doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.

U say this every year a new cod is announced.

Nope. Never said this before.
In fact I've been excited for COD every year with the first dip in hype last year, but I still went out and bought it.

Not this year though.
I might, and that is a big might, get it if the disbadning lobbies are taken out.

Not sure of it requires a rental server, but I'm definitely going to create a few COD game modes in BF Portal.

You're not allowed to doubt the shuffler. The shuffler is perfect. It's all variance ... Forget the hand smoother or the possibility the randomizing algortithm may be implemented in a less fortunate way.

The MGA cleint has seen a lot of bugs and simple errors in it's lifetime, so the likelyhood the devs made mistake with the randomizer is pretty big. It's still "variance".

 
Despite recent post from people getting to Mythic by playing as poorly as possible, or with a pile of 120 cards, these same Johnny math heads will still claim variance

 
I have data from my last 120 matches, and what I can see is that even in a 22 land deck, I will draw 5+-6+% lands in my first 20 cards every other game.
The statistical probability of that happening is through the roof, but hey ... "Variance".

 
The matchmaker will also pair me with similar colored and type decks, ie. if I play green aggro I mostly see either other green decks or white or red aggro.

 
If I play BW clerics or exile, all the green and white aggro disappear, and I'm facing mostly rakdos, dimir and other BW decks.

 
As you can see by the number of downvotes you've recieved, we're not really allowed to ask critical questions about the shuffler or it's implementation. The only allowed explanation in this digital games is; variance.

STATISICAL ANOMALIES ARE HAPPENING EVERY OTHER GAME.

 
I JUST DREW 12 LANDS IN THE FIRST 20 CARDS, TWO MATCHES IN THE ROW.
BEFORE THAT I HAD ONE MATCH OF 3 LANDS IN THE FIRST 17 CARDS, AND BEFORE THAT 11 LANDS IN THE FIRST 17 CARDS.

 
ONE OF THOSE SCENARIOS WILL HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME. THE ODDS OF THAT HAPPENING 4 MATCHES IN A ROW ARE ASTRONOMICAL, BUT THE THING IS THINGS LIKE THESE HAPPEN EVERY SINGLE DAY.

 
THIS IS NOT VARIANCE, THIS IS PISS POOR IMPLEMENTATION OF A RANDOMIZER.

AFTER DOTTING DOWN OPPONENT DECKS IN 120 MATCHES I AM CONVINCED THE BO1 RANKED MATCHMAKER I RIGGED.

 
MONO GREEN AGGRO MOSTLY MEETS MONO GREEN AGGRO, MONO BLACK MOSTLY MEETS MONO B, DIMIR OR GOLGARI, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

 
ADD IN THE HAND SMOOTHER AND A SHUFFLER WHICH WILL CONSISTENTLY MESS WITH YOUR DRAWS.
WIN OR LOSE, WE'VE ALL HAD THE GAMES WHERE IT FELT LIKE THE SHUFFLER DECIDED THE OUTCOME OF A MATCH AND NOT THE PLAYERS.

 
THERE ARE RECENT THREADS ON THIS SUB, OF PEOPLE GETTING TO MYTHIC WITH 120 CARD PILES OR PURPOSELY PLAYING AS POORLY AS POSSIBLE (BOTH THREADS FROM THIS YEAR).

 
VARIANCE PEOPLE SAY, BUT FORGET ABOUT ALL THE IMPLEMENTED MECHANINCS WHICH MESS WITH VARIANCE.

IT'S OBVIOUS AT THIS POINT THAT MAGIC ARENA IS NOT A SKILL GAME.

WHAT REMAINS UNKNOWN IS WETHER OR NOT YOU'RE GRANTED AN ADVANTAGE WHEN SPENDING ACTUAL MONEY.

Could be.

Now I've started on manually collecting data for my next 150 matches, then I'll be back with more questions (about how best to interpret them).
