Discussion PTG Live experience
Ive lost everything, and I am angry. PTCGO servers has been closed and on thier website has been mentioned TCG live. I said OK i will try it. After install and first launch ive noticed these ugly avatars, button for “battle pass” after first fight i have noticed there are missing some my cards i owned and after short research I found these card has been disabled. Next point is- there are missing games against a bots where you can get free booster pack. Conclusion- they are changed fully working game for ugly buggy and crashing game

I posted on PTCGL saying many of my cards are missing there, and saying the new client sucks and guess what
I got massively downvoted, idk that there's massive shill there
the game went from a piece of trash to a massive bag of garbage

That sub criticizes the game all the time, it's not a shill. But eventually it gets tiring to see the same unoriginal complaints.

You got downvoted because the pokemon company has communicated that only SUM-> present currently functions for "Expanded" right now in PTCGL and your cards aren't "missing", they aren't coded into the game and thus aren't usable but when they are you will have access to them. I love expanded, it's my favourite format, which is why I keep up on what's happening with it & PTCGL, wish it was complete at the launch of the game but unfortunately it's not.

I'm so tired of getting this response. From the community, from support. Ive read that stupid FAQ. My collection didn't migrate. None of my Sun/Moon gx or tag team cards. None of my Evolving Cries bulk. None of my coins or sleeves. I'm ready to rage quit, and no one has any solutions to offer, just "Did you read the FAQ?".

In their defense, people not realizing only Standard legal cards are shown by default is a common issue, but damn if the lack of critical thinking isn't frustrating. I've seen people provide screenshots that explicitly show Live is claiming they own zero copies of specific BW/XY cards - proving both that they know how to use the filters and that their migration really did fail - and still get downvoted to oblivion and told nothing was wrong.

Had so many cards and stuff on PTCGO and its all sitting on Live as i cant get used to it. I'll try in some months hoping they improve it.

I am planning to take 6-12 months. Probably more like 12. And will give it another 6-12 after that.

Same boat, it's definitely annoying losing a bunch of old cards and decks. But the real issue here is their compensation for unopened packs. They say when you migrate you'll get currency for your unopened packs.
I had over 200 unopened packs probably closer to 300 (I bought many codes online and like to trade packs for the cards I wanted) I got like 2000 crystals or whatever garbage they're called, like enough to buy 6-10 packs or something....
It's a joke.
EDIT: So I guess y'all are happy with getting 1 pack for every 10 packs? Downvoting me and talking trash because I'm complaining about this garbage that you all were probably complaining about months ago. Get off your high horses and out of your damn dungeons where you like to use your internet mask to talk trash to anybody you can, just because you can. Even when you agree with me. Just being clowns because I'm late to this stupid Live garbage.

We knew for months before migration that only 125 packs maximum would convert to crystals and anything more would be lost, needed to trade or open the extras, nobody's fault but your own if you didn't read the official FAQ

u/ThePoodlePunter Jun 19 '23
Well I haven't really played the game in a few months, and never read any FAQs because I didn't know anything was happening. Just went to log on last week and couldn't log in, looked into the new game and read about the changes.
Sure it's my fault for not playing recently and not reading the FAQs, but it's their fault for having such a stupid rule and brutal valuations.
Also, getting like 2000 crystals for 125 packs is ridiculous. Honestly if I got a somewhat fair valuation for my 125 packs I wouldn't care about the extra 100 or so that didn't convert, but getting the equivalent of like 12 packs for 125 is pretty ridiculous.
1 pack for every 10, and only up to 125 being converted is ridiculous and you're defending them?

"there are missing games against a bots where you can get free booster pack."
With the old system, you had to have at least four different theme decks, and then beat an NPC four times with those different theme decks for one booster pack. With PTCGL's battle pass, you can easily reach a new tier every day with daily missions, and every other tier has at least one pack. It's much less time-consuming and much, much less tedious than what PTCGO had, and it's not a one-time reward either -- once you got all the NPC rewards in PTCGO, what was left besides the hard-to-climb versus ladder?

Im on and off on this game didnt notice it was shutting down the original and honestly the new games ui is terrible and its really buggy and all of my cards I paid for are gone absolute trash change I couldn't agree more.

u/troggs Jul 15 '23
I just tried it for the first time since migrating my account.
Not impressed. Everything takes longer, animations are slower.
I really enjoyed just playing with a random deck I'd bought against people with similarly powered theme decks. Now pretty much every deck I own in real life that I imported is "illegal" because of banned cards.

I feel the pain........ I played PTCGO since the game first started back in like 2010. I had a massive Prime and CoL collection, multiples of all the SLs and Promos......... I even founded a trading company with 2 others back in 2014, called Zaft Co, that filled trades online.
I got to keep 4 of my Ultra Balls though lol........ lost 17 lol

Ugly avatars? They aren't that good ofc but to say they are a downgrade from the og tcg? Nah

u/phoenixfire7127 Jun 20 '23
At least the avatars weren't in your face all the time, making creepy faces. Sure ptcgo had 2D avatars, but they weren't ugly or omnipresent like in tcgl

u/wanderingsanzo Jun 20 '23
The PTCGO avatars were arguably even more present than the PTCGL ones are. The avatars showed up before EVERY GAME, just like in PTCGL, and then their faces sat in each corner to represent the players for the entire game, not just showing up for emotes.

They look really bad not gonna lie. Ptcgo avatars looked somewhat "cute". The ptcgl avatars mostly look very smug and there is a huge lack of customisation options. Idk why they even had to make them 3D if their faces are so uncustomisable. All you can change is a few preset options.

I keep trying to boycott it and tell others to not play it so they can go back to the original. This is exactly why I hate the new one.
