I HATE COCKATRICE
General forum
Posted on May 20, 2013, 2:35 a.m. by Behgz
ya know, theres a few things in life, let alone MTG that just grind my fxckin gears, but one of them takes the fxckin cake. its one thing to rage quit and drop, its another to be quit on, but when the fxckin server drops u for no gosh darn reason i want to flip the folding table i have my laptop on, seriously i think about my own mortality and speeding up said mortality when this happens, WTF is the point of playing a lengthy strategic game if its gonna get pulled right out from under your nose mid game..........
#FML
/rant
I'm not shelling out for MTGO until they make a scan based system of owning a card IRL equates the same thing digitally. your not getting twice as much money from me wizards, accept it.
resumes hating my life as a cockatrice user............................ at least its free.
This post is downright embrassing to the OP. your acting like a Child. With that being said I agree with the Seriel code system shouldve been with cards for MTGO. because paying for net Decks is dumb IMO. Way to easy to lose that investment to a Server F-ing up.

Because you're raging about a completely free service like it took away something you're entitled to. I can definitely understand the frustration - not from Cockatrice personally, but from Duels of the Planeswalkers on my iPad crashing often - but complaining about it like they robbed you of something does make you look, well, silly.
I totally get where you're coming from on the MTGO thing - it's a little weird to me as well. But I basically see it as paying for an entirely different thing that just happens to look the same. Since there's basically no crossover between the two, other than that "collect one of the entire set and you can cash them in for us sending you a box of the real cards" thing, it's pretty easy to divest the two from each other. Instead of paying for cards, just process it as paying small fees for server upkeep and such and it doesn't feel bad. Plus, bringing it full circle, at that point your money is going towards preventing exactly the sort of thing you made this post to complain about.
As far as losing data to a server f-up, they're actually pretty good about replacing lost cards or transactions in the event of a glitch. You have to hop through a couple hoops to report it, but they're low hoops, and it's just to make sure the reports are legitimate.

If the server isn't down and you're actually registered on the server, you can reconnect to games. (that is, if your opponent is patient enough to wait for you)

It's only humorous if your delivery of the "joke" doesn't suck.

The point of the rant is I alrdy have enough crap in my life to make me pull my hair out, when something mtg related starts making me upset this is an appropriate place to vent right, not like it makes sense to go to a dif tcg forum or even a non tcg based forum, like I said earlier, it was a playful rant cuz indeed, the server lost connection in the middle of a really good match up and I almost lost it. Came here to vent, now its over, anyone who has taken this as more than that completely missed the point and is over analysing this otherwise pointless thread, ergo, pointing out anything pointless here is pointless. I'm surprised no one has popped in to say, o ya I hate when that happens, I can relate. In fact the opposite, almost everyone who responded here is just being critical and pretentious. Now u have a reason to talk shit XD

I love how you're calling everyone else critical as you bitch and complain about a free service.

I love how u respond to the thread u feel has no merit, inadvertently adding merit to the thread, we can do this all day....
May 20, 2013 1:56 p.m.
I never said anything about the merit of the thread. I just genuinely think you're incredibly stupid.

@Behgz: I'm not sure what a ''Cockatrice" is, but I'm guessing its some kind of online mtg gaming thing. I don't even know what a "Hash Tag" is and I've NEVER used "Facebook." I guess I'm getting old. While I don't share your frustration for whatever you are ranting about, I do respect the fact that you decided to come out and rant about it. It takes balls to do that, especially online where people have less inhibitions. I've been in your shoes before and have ranted about things that caused me to take a lot of flack, like how much I hated the Goblin Guide . But I say don't let other people's opinions get you down, rant and rant if it makes you feel better and if people don't like it, they don't have to read it. If there's one thing I'm learning in my old age though, its that if something, especially a game pisses you off, just walk away and do something else. If its not fun or if it irritates you, thats the time to take a break. And you know what? My grammar sucks too. I write a lot of run-on sentences.

A lot of the hashing and other internet meme type stuff is really a joke on itself because a lot of that stuff is lame, and by using it in obvious lame ways is the joke, a lot of the replies here are from ppl who completely missed the joke, which is not my fault.
Thnx for being cool, I saw I had another message in this thread and groaned, not sure why ppl are so butt tickled by the most insignificant things.

I bet the server drops you when you're winning too, and never when you're losing. LOL. I'm so used to ultra-convenient crap, and being on the receiving end of it, that I just say "whatever" and drink a "Soda"

Cockatrices servers shut down a while ago so there's no sense in crying and bitching about a free service hosted by other uses at their own expense. Obviously private servers aren't going to be the most stable thing in the world...
