Got a new response. They're not going to give me shit. They literally admitted there was a mistake that cost me a quest, and they're not going to compensate me.
I'm already fully F2P, so I don't know how I can respond to this.
Yeah, that hyper-fast pain/draw deck with the Molten Giants just came out of nowhere in Standard, and I've run into it multiple times. It's not unbeatable, but damn is it strong!
I actually did expect more! Sure, they've made some serious fumbles in treating their customers well, but in the past, when there was a mistake of this sort, they made a public comment about it, then compensated people within a reasonable time frame without the need for a help ticket. This is very disappointing!
To push a little further, the fact that some people apparently got extra quests makes it feel even more unfair. I personally think everyone who missed a quest, or those didn't have anything unusual happen, should get XP equal to an average of what people made off their extra quests.
Finally got a response to my ticket: essentially, "yes we identified the issue and fixed it, so you're all set now". Except I didn't receive any compensation for the missed quest.
Update: yes, they "fixed" it, in the sense that I am now getting daily quests again. But I have not received any compensation for the lost value, nor a response to the help ticket I opened 2 days ago.
Agree 100%. I am also playing crap decks just to grind out quests. And yes, the special event quest sequencing works great and should absolutely apply here.
I like that they are making this change, but I'm pissd that it's needed. They keep doing things like this, and will probably point to it and say, "Look, we listened to the players and made QoL adjustments based on their feedback." But they created the problem they are now "fixing" in the first place. In fact, most of the QoL changes they've made over the last few years have simple been dialing back negative changes they've made.
I think both of these nerfs are fantastic, particularly Brann. They nerfed the whole Highlander package so that Warriors couldn't "cheat" the effect by hyper-drawing through their deck, and it made almost no differance at all. They have so many tools at their disposal, they just went full Highlander and are still performing well. Even Boomboss Thogrun is still powerful with his nerfed effect.
Hunters are definitely a bit too fast right now if they get a good early game. The combination of lots of cheap beasts plus Jungle Gym is a bit too much. I think other pieces of that deck might need toning down as well.
I'd like to see some more Paladin nerfs, too. They just have way too many answers to just about every scenario. Very frustrating to play against.
I can't imagine a scenario where you can afford to take this much damage just to draw through your deck. It technically staves off fatigue, but at what cost?
Great concept, and a decent potential board clear. It does not specify "enemy," but I don't think you would want to hit your own minions, as this is not a Warrior card. I bet it will have a cool animation!
I wish I knew if this means maximum health or not. If you can still heal past 15, it's awesome. If not, still probably good. I'm guessing it's not technically damage, so will not interact with the harp.
This is such a strong counterplay card. Unless your opponent can get rid of it, like with Reno, they will have to second guess playing any valuable minion while it's on the board.
This could be a really good draw engine for Druid, but Druid already has tons of draw, so I doubt this will be that good. Maybe it brings Treant Druid back a little?
Really good card, and Neutral, so lots of decks might use it! Cheap enough that you can immediately play a tutor effect, or even just regular draw, and get immediate value.
Ok, that's a lot of stats for not a lot of mana, plus Taunt and Elusive. Is this card good? Not really. There are too many ways to kill or steal large minions, regardless of them being Elusive. It will be fun for Hunters to get this from Wilderness Pack, though.
No minion Mage hasn't been performing super well, as far as I have seen, but it does have some strong plays. This card might be enough to kick it up a notch.

Whoa, that's terrible! Did you do a help ticket?

Its combination of abilities makes it good. Rush would make it even better, but this should still be pretty impactful.
Pretty sweet! Great for minions that have Lifesteal or strong Deathrattles. Also a cheap way to just remove an 8/8 or similar.

This doesn't seem that good. The delay is going to be too much. We should review the 8 or more cost minions currently in Standard, though.
