Rewards Track: Current progress 6.0

Hello? Hello? Hello!  We are now 10 days into the new Murder at Castle Nathria expansion and I wonder how we are progressing so far. I suppose it is my turn once again to create this wonderful thread for sharing our latest experiences on the rewards track. @Alleria, thanks for keeping this little tradition of ours alive with the previous RT thread. I hope you all have had a prosperous start so far!

Since I had collected the highest rewarding XP quests before the current track started, I had a rocket start on day 1. As always, I bought the tavern pass and I opened 250+ packs after which I am still missing Ara'lon at this moment. This is pretty annoying since he is one of the better legendaries and very useful to complete the "Wait, They're Not Plants?" achievement. I hope to find him soon in the upcoming free packs, because I do not want to spend the arcane dust.

Anyways, I am currently sitting at level 69 😄 and I have completed 85% of the new expansion XP achievements. I will hit level 70 later today and finally get my hands on that sweet 20% XP boost again.

How about you? What is your current RT level? How did the expansion launch treat you? Share as much as you like ^_^

EDIT: The standard pack at level 70 was one of my best packs ever; 1 epic + 2 legendaries including the missing Ara'lon, w00t!

Level 46 47 as of today.

Working on Level 62, with the Tavern Pass. I just need Pelagos to finish the 135 card set, hopefully will get him from a Standard pack (as I am low on the pity timer for MCN).

Currently am NOT climbing ladder as I am playing sub-optimal decks to farm achievements. Most neutrals are done already!

Hello, hello! First of all, thanks NebuchadnezzarHS for making this thread, I´m a bit busy these days, so I´m greateful you took this task from me this time.

I´m at lvl 50 with one Daily and Weekly Ranked quest still up. I´ve bought the pass day one again, but I´m still miles away from the 20% XP boost. Same as Riffraff above me, I´m not playing Ranked, instead I´m focusing on doing XP achievements to get to the lvl 70 faster. Right now I´m at 40% done and counting. Again, great thing is, that you can find many key cards in Duels buckets, as well as treasures, so you don´t even need to own the cards to complete their achievements. F.e. one Duel treasure gives you 3 Legendary Invitations by default, so it requires only few runs to complete the Paladins Guest of Honor achievement without the Legendary itself.

Anyway, my free lvl 20 Legendary was The Countess (I know, kinda ironic, after I´ve completed the achievement mentioned above :D) and my lvl 50 Legendary was Pelagos. Both kinda dissapointing, since I really hoped for Imp King Rafaam or Topior the Shrubbagazzor. Still have one more chance, since my pitty timer is fairly close, so fingers crossed! :)

Bought the Tavern Pass as usual. Im lvl 49 with all quest completed.

BG and Arena ONLY , So no pack opening

Hey guys! I have been on Holidays/Vacations on France since the 31st of July an will be till the 20th of the current month, so I am kinda behind with the climbing. Just reached level 46 Today and have no worries about reaching the 100th level as always. Will try to boost my progress a bit after I am back.

Opened around 110-120 packs on expansion launch and some more after.

Waiting for the nerfs and level 50 to craft missing legendaries right now.

Hit level 50 today thanks to the speedy dragon quest, and my free legendary was Topior! Off to druid decks I go. 

Made a nice jump on the track yesterday with Noz and weekly quests, up to 53. As lvl 50 reward I got the guy on the very top of my wishlist: Kel'Thuzad, the Inevitable. The early track legendary was Orion, not as playable.

I reached level 88 and just completed all of the new Murder at Castle Nathria achievements.

The last achievement I needed to do was the bugged One of the Classic Blunders and requires a bit of special setup as a workaround. Currently, there is no simple way to trigger this achievement in constructed, because nobody is playing Warrior and thus you will not encounter any Suspicious Pirates. However, you can give this pirate to the opponent using Theotar, the Mad Duke and pray that it gets played eventually. My Demon Hunter opponent indeed played the given Suspicious Pirate and even equipped the secretly chosen weapon in the same turn. There was no way I would pick the chosen weapon, lol. Such a joyous feeling to finally complete this bugged achievement using a bit of ingenuity.

What to play next? The mini-set is a long way away still. The C'Thun special event is a nice little distraction though.

I´ve hit lvl 70 yesterday and got the 20% bonus just in time for tomorrows Weeklies, so I´m quite happy about it. I´ve even managed to hit the pity timer with my very last pack, which gave me Baroness Vashj, so now I can work on her achievement :) I can finally hoard all my next gold for a potential Kel'Thuzad return to the shop and craft the rest of the Legendaries I want. As for mentioned achievements, I´m currently at 60% done, having all the Neutrals, along with Mages and Paladins, finished. With Mercenaries, I have all of them apart from Maiev Shadowsong, 25 of them maxed out. I´m doing the C´Thun event, currently at 6th task. Been a pretty good week HS wise I´d say :)

I just hit level 101 and completed the cosmetic part of the rewards track.

My mission now is to get 1500 wins with the remaining 5 classes for which I still need 710 wins in total. I would very much like to achieve this before the upcoming Death Knight class gets introduced with the next expansion.

Anyways, how you doing? 😉

EDIT: Off topic, that runestones BS is really scaring the crap out of me. Over time, it likely will devalue the existing gold currency and make HS cost even more real money. Worrying times 😬

Congrats. That was fast :)

Im lvl 70 in a few minutes, next season i will switch the BG pass with tavern pass so progres will slow down. not paying for both thats for sure

Whaaa? How sure is this? I mean, the balance of 10 classes is a big BS, and we gonna get another?

Forget about that terrible runestone for a second. Can we still refresh our memory for how overpowered they made new class back then, and then got backlashed with so many nerfs? Thats a nightmare for balance. And yeah, I don't support any new class at the moment.

Apparently, a reliable source datamined some Death Knight location template art found in the latest patch. Introducing the DK class with the last expansion of the year is logical because then the overall card pool is at it's biggest (accompanied miniset aside). It would also somewhat be in line with the newest WoW Classic: Wrath of the Lich King expansion.

Adding a new class will always be a shitshow, because it needs to be overpowered immediately to be able to compete with the existing classes using fewer cards. Nobody likes a dead on arrival experience, right? 

Personally, I just do not look forward having to once again accumulate 1500 wins from scratch which is a very daunting task to say the least.

Sidenote, I am at level 124 currently and reached legend in Wild using Big Priest. 

"Location template art" doesn't necessarily equate to a new class. Couldn't that reflect a new board for Battlegrounds or a new set of bounties in Mercenaries instead? 

If we're assuming here, then I'm gonna take the longshot in assuming, that we could get even more cards than the usual 135+35 cards per expansions. I mean, the choice is between adding more cards, or reducing the rest of card distributions so they fit 11 classes. And adding more cards makes more sense than the other choice.

So, we're talking more packs to get necessary cards? But players stays with the same gold amount? There's no math here. A lot of people would end up with even less cards.

I don't know about any of you. But I sure reject the idea of spending more money so we can get more cards, especially if later, they decide to add 4th expansion per year. The big pressure is on player, whether they actually forced to spend cash to be able to keep playing, or get left out with few cards they have in total. And mark that day as I'm leaving HS.

EDIT. Sorry this has nothing to do with Reward track, but to get the mission going, I'm at lv.70. Not that great. But enough pace to keep to lv.200 by early December by just doing quests.

No, what I really meant was location card template for Death Knight class. I should have linked the reddit post in the first place to be more specific.

My bad 😅

Level 67 as of today. Achievements at 28%

During an AMA with Iksar a few months ago, he said that they are considering the idea of releasing 4 expansions each year whilst removing the minisets. Also, the rewards track length would get shortened to better suit the reduced amount of time available to complete it. Perhaps 100 levels less? 

It probably means much more cards per expansion and less cards acquirable by spending gold (miniset gone). Thus, more card packs will be needed for collecting an entire expansion, making HS more expensive yet again, I assume. 

My gut feeling is that our gold stashes will devalue more and more eventually with the new runestones BS currency. 

Anyways, this is all speculation for now. Let us all just enjoy the game while the fun lasts and experience which direction Blizzard is taking Hearthstone into. Not likely, but hopefully a positive one for us. Keeping fingers crossed🤞🏻

Level 46 today. I'm happy to have unlocked the sweet Krygian Tyrande portrait, so I'm now playing some Quest Priest to rock this beauty. 

Once I finish my weekly quests, I'll be able to reach Level 50. Can't wait to see what crappy legendary I'll be getting for this part of the rewards track this time! Keep you guys posted.

So after another week I´m at lvl 80 with 70% of XP achievements done. With Mercenaries, I´ve finally opened last missing Maiev Shadowsong through free packs, so I´ve caught them all by now :D Didn´t really progress in maxing another one out, but I have them all at lvl 30. With the new introduction of the new Season Rewards, I might give BGs a chance again and see how far I´d get on the track. I won´t pay for the pass though, since I´m not a big fan of the mode, nor have much time to play it, as I´m invested more in Duels and Mercenaries. Good luck all! Let us know where you´re at.

Currentlyat level 73 in the newest reward track, managed to hit 83% card collection complete for the entire game so far, and as far as achievements I just play the game really, I don't really target specific achievements…I'm at 17.4k points.

Hit level 100 today, and selected Uther as my reward skin, since I recently noticed that Paladin is the class where I have the highest number of wins. 

Justice! 

I reached level 220 today. I am waiting for the mini-set to arrive and I so hope (against better judgement) it will bring us an improved meta. The current one really sucks, probably one of the worst. 

I still need 350 wins with Demon Hunter to have all ten classes at 1500 wins or more. I am currently averaging 10 wins each day which means this should take me five full weeks in total to complete.

Until year of the Hydra ends, I will play a little bit more Battlegrounds to finish the Track Attack achievement faster. Doing the weekly missions should suffice. It is a nice distraction from constructed too. 

I reached level 300 today, my last stop before crossing the finish line of the Rewards Track, which will take me three more weeks.

Previously, I paused my personal Demon Hunter 1500 wins milestone quest (226 wins left) to complete all the new Maw and Disorder XP achievements which are 98% done. Once again, Team 5 introduced a stupid achievement which requires you to win with a specific mediocre card: Motion Denied. It is not quite as bad as the Oh My Yogg! related achievement in the past though. Actually, it should have been completed already, but (unfortunately for me) my opponents decide to concede instead of triggering the Hunter secret. 

I have collected all the new mercenaries and completed their tasks netting me 42 packs waiting to get opened right after the next big patch hits. I have to say it was quite a boring grind until the very end and I am no longer interested in maxing out all the new characters since most of the bounties can be completed with the usual Fire comp anyways. Another reason is the upcoming excess coin exchange feature. 

How is your progress so far?

EDIT: Yeah! Finally completed the Held In Contempt achievement. It required a lot of attempts and very specific matchups to even remotely have a chance to setup and potentially trigger the progress. My thanks goes to one Questline Priest and two other Miracle Rogue opponents 😇

I'll probably hit level 100 this weekend, when I complete the remaining weekly quests.

Been distracted by other games the last 2 months, didn't get as much hearthstone is as I wanted, had to catch up to get the mini set. But now that's done. Got 15 legendaries in total. Been having a blast with the Dark Alley Imp-Possible* and Secret Thief Rogue. Infuse has been fun and locations are interesting, been a good set so far. Also the puns this time are 10/10.

*I play Imp Warlock in Wild but with mostly big imps in Dark Alley Pack. 

You madman @NebuchadnezzarHS! Hahahah, you're insane sir.

I am at level 231 or 232 as of today. I hope/expect to be at or around level 300 by next expansion. 

Guys, did anybody have the problem of claiming hero skin for reward track completion? After I choose and claim, nothing happens ...

I had no problems claiming them, but for me personally that was already two months and thus a couple of patches ago, so I cannot be sure that it still works today. Team 5 has become infamous for introducing many bugs with every patch, so it might indeed be broken right now, who knows?

In any case, there should be plenty of time still to claim them manually and if I remember correctly, any unclaimed rewards will be claimed automatically when the next rewards track becomes active. No need to be worried. 

EDIT: @Osh92, apparently a lot of people are having this same issue but there is no word from Team 5 about a fix yet.

Understood, thank for the answer)

By the way, anyone else no longer receiving daily and weekly quests since the latest patch? Not really a big issue for me yet, but I would like to have a full board of the highest XP quests lined up when the next expansion goes live in December.

Nope. I've still been getting mine, but the quests for the Hallow's End event disappeared once I finished that track, so maybe they have now coded it so it won't bother giving quests to people who have finished the rewards track?

If so, hopefully they built in a mechanism so they return shortly before the expansion launches so you can store up quests like the rest of us.

Hey all, I´m back again. These were very hard three months for me, physically and emotionally, so I wasn´t in a mood to play (or post) at all, I even missed the oct.-nov. cardbacks, which never happened before. TBH I really considered to finally quit my addiction and stop playing HS altogether, but things are slowly turning for the better and I´m honestly currious about the new DK class. Okay, enough of me!

I´ve managed to complete 95% of all XP achievements and crawled at lvl 220, which marks my (lowest yet) end of this RT. My gold count is 8.5k and I´m leaving my three Weeklies and Dailies for the Tuesday, so I guess I´m good to go. Not sure, if I´ll buy another TP, since my priorities slightly changed.

How far did you all get? Leaving remaining quests for the new track or go higher on this one? Anyway, good luck on pack opening!

@NebuchadnezzarHS congrats on hitting lvl 400 once again and completing the track so early!

P.S. And thanks for worrying about me, it really made me feel better seeing your message. It´s really nice to know someone cares :)

@Alleria, Thanks and welcome back! I am glad to know you are doing better. Your absence was noticed 😉

Team5 finally managed to fix the rewards track level 400 missing daily and weekly quests issue, so I am currently stocking them up again for jumpstarting the March of the Lich King rewards track on December 6th.

I still intend to buy the Tavern Pass once more (the new Coin looks amazing), but I am not so sure about purchasing the mega bundle this time. The signature cards are just not appealing to me. Quite the contrary actually. Perhaps, the proper time has finally arrived for me to really start spending my huge stockpiles of gold (45K) and arcane dust (474K).
