Hi everyone,

Trying to get a sense of what type of wild content in terms of one-off things like a general guide to deckbuilding or long-term things like a series people would like to see. If you have any ideas or suggestions as to what you would like to see on the site for wild, comment it below.

Thanks!

I will not be sad to see Oh, My Yogg! go away. 

And the article about the best cards Rogue is losing is all about 1 mana cards. I played a lot of aggressive rogues with these sets, and I'm going to miss them all. 

I am excited about the idea of another mobile/tablet game in the Warcraft universe!

I am currently a daily HS player (with most play time on my phone), loved WoW back in the day (vanilla and TBC the first time around), and briefly returned to WoW for a few months last year. I stopped playing after a while because I couldn't keep up with the daily grind/didn't want to keep up with it. 

Hopefully they can bring something fun to mobile that scratches the WoW itch but doesn't require a massive time commitment.

Could anybody spoil me which is the most "used" expansion for Magic and Hearthstone as a clue?? I can hit you with some snowballs as a reward :)

@Rifraff & rocketfodder: Thank you for acknowledging my bizarre and devoted madness for Hearthstone! 😋

@Alleria: Yeah, we encountered quite a few weird and annoying bugs with both the Alterac Valley and Onyxia's Lair achievements. I obviously do not need the related XP, but I would like to finish the last three for completeness sake.

I have noticed during the last couple of days that playing Hearthstone without the XP progress and gold increments is a lot less fun. Kind of makes me wonder if I would still enjoy Hearthstone if it was vanilla. At least I have learned by now that the Rewards Track has become a truly vital aspect of this game for me.

For the time being, one of my last few goals is to complete the three remaining XP-less general gameplay achievements:

• Me Go Face (9317/10000)
• Over Encumbered (3624/5000)
• Tanks! You're welcome. (8720/10000)

My (useless) achievements points total is currently: 29780. It shows that I am in need of help to overcome this unhealthy Hearthstone addiction. Although this is (partially) a running gag of mine, I honestly feel it is probably not even that far away from the actual truth 🙄

Anyways, good luck to you all with the last stretch of this Rewards Track!

Mobile Warcraft game?

Probably just another WoW on mobile. Or one of those inane mobile games where you're building stuff with options of purchasing gems to speed up.

It's really a good move from Riot.

I instantly bough both the tft and LoR battlepass (despite me never playing tft lol) and hope the donations will do the good that they are supposed to accomplish :)

Thanks, got the first one - I don´t understand why it took me so long to get it lol.

The second one though, still no clue.

I only followed the development briefely, but there have been a couple betas during the last year in some few selected countries. There has recently also been a blog post about some reworks they have done since the last beta and confirming that they are still aiming at a release during 2022.

@NebuchadnezzarHS I´m halfway there - lvl 200 now. I missed one Ranked weekly - that´s how I love that mode, not. My main goal is to complete XP achievements (doing it in casual Duels), right now I´m at 80% done. Still waiting for DH and Rogue ones, wonder why it takes so long to fix that - we won´t have much time left to complete them I´m afraid. Wonder what the new expansion will be about :)

According to what I've heard it's still "in beta".  It still shows up in my android store as part of the "pre-registration" group.

At this point, I'm actually sure that the delays have caused more annoyance than the "don't you guys have phones" fiasco.  (Though to be perfectly honest, that whole thing, while tactfully a bad decision by the devs, was an inevitable outcome to the gaming industry)

I mean, side-ranting for a second about that blizzcon fiasco:  "Out of season joke" is just about as a grandstanding as saying "don't you guys have phones"

In either case, Blizzard is gonna have to do something super special/interesting to get my attention with a warcraft mobile game...because as it stands now, if I wanted to play WoW, I'd be playing burning crusade classic. Except I need a daily 4 hour time sink/2nd job like I need a hole in my head.

Warcraft Immortal

I haven't heard ANYTHING about mobile Diablo in a very long time. Is it DOA?

The Warcraft mobile game sounds amazing. Can’t wait

My thinking is much the same, until I replace "phone" with "tablet." There's definitely a set of games I like to play on my iPad, and I'm hoping that it's the right level of game to be conducive to couch potato time.

Great article! 
I am kinda sad they buffed Tamsin, because I love playing the underdog heroes, the worst heroes. And Tamsin was hands down the worst hero before this new patch. 
My favorite playstyle was to buff minions to be atleast 30/30 and those would be my "lowest health" minions, so that my whole board got a massive +30/+30 stat buff and Teracgosa would even keep that as a permanent buff. 
Sometimes my late game boards were only 3 or 4 minions wide, to have my "lowest health minion" have as much stats as possible

From this article series I now know that I fall closest to Linkblade91. Never seen him, but my man got it right every time. With both his likes and dislikes. 

Quote From YourPrivateNightmare

The point is that if Kazakusan is this powerful by himself then he's just going to beat every other lategame strategy that doesn't involve a striaght-up OTK by virtue of existing. This then means that only certain classes can play control because of Kazakusan's activation condition.

It really depends on what the next set brings. If the focus is on board combat as Blizzard claims, then maybe Kazakusan becomes too inconsistent. Suddenly, there's all these non-Dragon minions that are really good that you just can't run with Kazakusan, unless you want to draw your entire deck every game. It becomes a real sacrifice to put this in your deck. I don't have much faith in the Hearthstone team's balance abilities, but I do think that the rotation is going to heavily shift how decks are built.

Worst case scenario, he gets nerfed to 10 mana in two months from now. More realistically, he goes the way of the Tickatus and stops being a problem before it comes to that.

I think that Kazakusan existing is doing more good than harm. Control decks were poo-poo bad for almost a year now because they didn't have a win condition. It sucks to lose the tier 3 fringe decks on the way, but I much prefer seeing a new archetype be meta instead.

Personally, I did enjoy the read and would like having another one of these to read in the future :)
