Anyone been able to sign in using their DCI password?
I click North america then the window the new terms and conditions pops up and its unresponsive.
Also, I'm not a fan of the continuous downgrading of prereleases. Now they have a lower multiplier than FNM?
Though not all that competitive, I've always enjoyed prereleases and feel like they should be treated as the big events they are(with at least a 3x like FNM).
This is stupid. Now skill doesn't matter at all. GG whoever makes MTG. GG
Uh. It should be pretty clear from how they're doing Competitive and Pro points that your skill will certainly matter, or at least your win ratio. Do you really think that in the case of Pro points you can earn, you won't be facing skilled people?
@TheJacob: Yes, mine was fine. Of course, I hit the site before this thread hit two pages so I got in before the rush.
... before that, everything that was related to the competitive scene looked mature, or at least not childish at all.
Now it really does look nerdy.
It's a bunch of grown men crowded around tables playing a colorful trading card game.
But hey, maybe I just don't get it.

W may only be paid with white mana. U may only be paid with blue mana. B may only be paid with black mana. R may only be paid with red mana. G may only be paid with green mana. C may only be paid with colorless mana. 1 may be paid with white, blue, black, red, green, or clolorless mana.
How can you figure out what you are? also, what I dont like is the FNM Championships. Yes, it seems like a great idea but now every mean player will make FNM completely awful so they can win. FNM is now "serious", which I dont like.

Yeah, because at least before that, everything that was related to the competitive scene looked mature, or at least not childish at all.
Now it really does look nerdy.
Exactly what about the competitive scene is mature and not childish? Iv seen grown men cry after not making it to finals from top 4
Being a numbers guy, I find it odd how they space out the point intervals.
'Rewarding' new players as they level up quickly till it REALLY levels out.
The curve of points vs. level just irks me.

Happening for me, too, probably server overload. Ah well, already a level 39 Sorcerer, sweet. And yeah, anyone calling foul on this cause it makes it immature needs to step back and realize what they're complaining about. Who cares??? Someone above also was right when they stated the old numbers were only good for rewards and byes. Rewards are gone and not only are there very few people who have high enough numbers to care about byes, but now those very people will be more inclined to actually PLAY THE GAME to keep getting byes, instead of sitting on their hands talking about it.

Wonder why they stopped at lvl 50. Guess we all eventually cannot be planeswalkers.....
Don't worry, every other year or so they'll release an expansion that rises the available levels by 10 and adds new zones to level up in.

Just as another point about the change: Before, I was top 10 in my area in rating for limited and constructed, and I liked that. Now I'm sure I wont be cause I really haven't been playing that long. But I don't care, cause this is an awesome way to make sure people just play. So many of us (including me at times) would not play cause of rating worries, now there's no reason not to, ever.

I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
I just hit 1850 rating recently, and I stopped playing in FNMs (I still attended as a judge). So I think this is a good move to encourage top players to play in more events.
The effect could prove so discombobulating to combo players, in particularly, they may fizzle and run away screaming. "From that day the Curse of the Plateau was upon me, and I found every hand I ever pull from a combo deck is a mulligan."

In some ways this is cool, but in others... I don't know. Where's the fun of the competition if you can't lose anything? The number next to your name signifies your skill level, once you've played enough. The new levels just prove how much you've played.

Nope. Although, I am getting the error message again sometimes after trying to click that I accept all the terms and whatnot
i was earlier, nothing now, i think it's due to server capacity issues, like everyone was saying previously.

This is the best thing I've ever read.
Nice job, sir.
Seriously though, I think 50 is an appropriate cut-off. Don't know why, it just seems natural.

So....you play to make other people unhappy? O.o

Nah, it's a lot like your Social Security number and college applications. Once you go through college apps, you'll never forget your SSN again.
