Got to 6,2k rating yesterday, just ahead of reset.

As for Diablo, if you didn't craft him yet, don't bother, he will be hard countered with new mercenaries coming later today 🙂 BTW, my Diablo is 2/5/2, good AoE damage and he is far from maxed.

But it's still a case of "either you have mercenary X maxed out or you just don't get to play the comp"

I still haven'T gotten around to levelling Cookie beyon task 7 but apparently he's core in just about every build because of his broken HP buff.

Meanwhile all the Shadow or Beast stuff I've fully maxxed is either out of the meta or only uses Cairne + Diablo.

Now I#m working on finishing my Saurfang and Grom tasks because they're already pretty far ahead and I want some more packs for the new mercs (specifically Trigore).

It just feels like I'm constantly playing catchup because everything I focus on just drops out of relevance and the most relevant stuff takes too long to build up.

Thanks for the reminder, I'm generally aware but this time I almost forgot.

Overall I did find these achievements much more enjoyable and easier to complete. The past 2 expansions I've only managed to complete ~40% of the achievements. For Stormwind, I managed to get 63% and there's quite a few achievements I couldn't do due to missing cards, so quite pleased with the result.

Probably not at that point. That excess coin feature is sure taking its sweet time.

For what it's worth, the PvP meta hasn't been as reliant on Diablo since the latest round of buffs (and Cairne nerf). And it might further move in a different direction if the new Mercs prove to be strong fits for other strategies. 

Anyone know if the among of gold is the same as last reward track?

Might aswell craft him at this point and use the other 500 coins + tasks to max out his important abilities. There are also some  comps out there that don't use the Cairne/Diablo package.

Well I can't actually progress because Diablo still hasn't decided to show up from packs and so I'M sitting on almost 1k of his coins just waiting for him to drop eventually (actually the last merc I'M missing and I bet Valeera will show up before him).

Probably gonna have everything else maxed out before I actually get to play PvP again...

I tried and tried for Instant Gratification at the start of the expansion, but it never came together.

Today, I was just randomly playing my own Priest Questline deck (not the one above), and it happened. I had forgotten the achievement even existed!

Thanks as always, this time I really forgot it, after I said to myself, 2 weeks ago "fine, I will do it later" :)

Can anyone possibly still care about coins once they've reached high ranks?

It is possible that this reward structure doesn't make a lot of sense.

Thanks for the reminder, I got some of them from packs since I disenchanted the ones I had.

Really strong standalone card, this can delay Aggro another turn and also survive your boardclear next turn.

Board-in-a-card types are generally pretty strong, frost spells like Windchill seem much better than watch posts, this could be the thing that makes a frost-focused archetype Tier 2-3 in Standard.

Congrats to everyone! I did manage a 7 win heroic run, but lost my screenshot sadly. Might be able to recover it tomorrow at work, but will be too late. I hope to do better in the next!

#Update - happened a few hours ago, but for the record: added Celestalon's tweet to the opening section, and then reworded the other lines for greater clarity; also explained (at the start of 2nd section) how to possibly delay the patching process in order to buy a few more hours for Stormwind Achievements XP collecting. 

Hah, and you call that "only". I'd still consider it a damn impressive score that is not likely to be matched by many other players. Good to hear the fun moments were plentiful! 

I do agree with your sentiments: not worth going out of one's way for the ones that take too long. I also do wish we had more community interest in the achievements as a whole. As you mention, the Hearthstone team making the XP bonuses relatively underwhelming doesn't help things.

Sorry that it was quite a long wait! Just glad we got there in the 'better late than never' fashion.

That's fine going on your side. I agree, these Stormwind achievements felt considerably less painful than Darkmoon/Barrens ones.

And glad to be of assistance! FrostyFeet and Avalon definitely deserve some credit for the whole speed rating idea. We were all thinking how to best fit it in a way that makes sense. 

Second card but with the same art as the first one

Show Spoiler

"Takes fighting the power to a whole nother level"

As usual I am bad at card text but basically if this has 4 attack it's disabled for four turns

I also had another maybe more balanced idea after 5 mins.
