  • DreamHack Beyond Begins, 3 Hearthstone Tournaments Plus Free Forged in the Barrens Packs Available

    Fingers crossed! If you are on our Discord or in that Twitch channel and not having much luck with getting in, you can give me a nudge and I'd try to help. 

  • Enthusiastic Banker

    Don't think so, since when you discover a card it's added to your hand, not drawn. 

    I imagine this works similarly

    Glad to hear it! :)

  • DreamHack Beyond Begins, 3 Hearthstone Tournaments Plus Free Forged in the Barrens Packs Available

    Ok, you have convinced me to give it another shot. I just hope it will not be another disappointment and waste of time, but I feel encouraged this time around!

  • DreamHack Beyond Begins, 3 Hearthstone Tournaments Plus Free Forged in the Barrens Packs Available

    Ah, so that was you. :) Small world.

    Yeah, I can tell you that I've also had the worst kind of luck with Bemmie. It sucked. I once sat in a lobby for an hour once he finally invited, tried to help find other players... no go. I was just as angry about the time wasted and poor communication.
    Do not let that discourage you, I can guarantee you that Enli and Cara are far far better in getting BG lobbies off the ground and providing packs (and it will be only them handling these from now on). Enil is at it right now actually, you can even peek at his Twitch and he will respond there and update on the status regularly. They were even inviting through Discord and Twitch when told somebody had troubles logging into the DH game.

    It is true about the friends list after the patch however, it being thoroughly bugged and making it harder at times to receive/send friend invites and issue challenges. 

  • When Clones Attack!

    Not really. It would work like Duels or Arena where you have an intermittent step after selecting your class that would show your deck list.

  • DreamHack Beyond Begins, 3 Hearthstone Tournaments Plus Free Forged in the Barrens Packs Available

    I tried twice with Bemmie:

    • The first time (on Tuesday) he said after awhile that there was not enough people for a private lobby and simply called it a day.
    • The second time (on Wednesday) he said there was a problem with his friends list.

    In both cases I waited around for at least half an hour and the ultimate result was the same -> no BG game played and thus no free pack.

    By the way, unrelated but I ran into you in the game and you directed me to Bemmie ^_^

    Yep, he is meant to be Flightmaster Dungar's trusted flying buddy. They are being cheesy by reversing the roles. 

  • DreamHack Beyond Begins, 3 Hearthstone Tournaments Plus Free Forged in the Barrens Packs Available

    I've lost several levels on most days I was in, it's definitely annoying. Happening to almost everyone. They could use some proper log out function. This first version of the game does have a lot of frustrating bugs, even though they promise to iron them out for the future. 

  • DreamHack Beyond Begins, 3 Hearthstone Tournaments Plus Free Forged in the Barrens Packs Available

    Ow, when did you try and with whom? I've had some good luck with Enli and Cara as being the most communicative and helpful. If you are on Discord or Twitch, some of these lobbies could even be arranged without logging into the DreamHack game. 

  • Forged in the Barrens Gameplay Achievements No Longer Providing the XP Bonus - The Initial Confusion Explained

    Oh well .. there goes my pre-release occupation. I‘m not even mad about the missed exp, it would have netted me at the very best 100 gold (probably less) but this small incentive to complete achievements has led to very interesting decks and encounters those past weeks - now it sadly feels like time waste. 

    But why do they have to deactivate exp gains in the first place? It‘s not like they award a ton of free stuff and it would be a nice and small catch up mechanic for new and returning players. Even if exp rewards stayed for the time the set is in standard, this would feel much more appropriate.

    Also FWIW, we do have a Duels article in the pipeline that should be arriving today.

  • Reminder: Full Dust Refunds for Gibberling, Apotheosis, and Renew End Soon!

    Precisely. It is all about banking that extra dust for the future, even for avid collectors. Recrafting takes but a moment, so hedging one's bets on maybe pulling two copies of these cards again (from Tavern Brawl Packs, Standard packs from the new Rewards Track, etc.) in upcoming months is fair game. This way one gets the full dust now and could still find the cards again later when they are no longer refundable.

    Its not being ignored, there is just a million things going on right now. There are only so many hours in a day =/

  • Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick Calls Original Response Tone Deaf, Responds to Lawsuit

    You actual disingenuous weasel,  I clearly meant in other instances of companies where female characters (fictional character you absolute parody of a human being) are being "objectified" (they aren't real, stop being such an absolute joke of a person) the same extent of workplace harassment would have to take place because according to you, those two things are directly related.

    BUt you're clearly not interesting in back up any of your claims, you just like to scream at people how mean they in hopes of someone patting you on the head fo rbeing a good boy.

    Good luck convincing anyone of your spineless drivel.

  • The Best Deals Anywhere - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread

    Ok i guess i have to rework my card are little - overall it is fine but a few people said it has not enough Tradeable flavour. 

    I mean the OP said:

    You must create a card with Tradeable, or that synergises with the Tradeable mechanic

    • We're looking for direct synergies like Auctioneer Jaxon, not something more tangential.

    I mean it is a Tradeable card - the OP said make this or that not both ... but i guess if it will hurt my rating im going to rework it.

    Edit:

    Here is my first rework:

    Hopefully it now has enough Tradeable Flavour :) - even tough im not sure if it is not too strong now - maybe get rid of the Immune? ... also had the Idea that whenever this gets traded that the Attack will increase or something like that.

     

  • Interaction between Darkbishop Benedictus & C'thun?

    Ok, thanks for all the information - i guess i have to wait and see what happens when i put C'thun in the deck as soon as the expansion drops.

     

  • Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick Calls Original Response Tone Deaf, Responds to Lawsuit

    We don't have way more workplace sexual harassment issues? Woooow. I didn't realize you had never spoken to a woman before in your life. Good luck, man. You're gonna need it.

  • Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick Calls Original Response Tone Deaf, Responds to Lawsuit

    Actually it's just you who claims this is the case and you have yet to make an argument for why. That would imply that whenever women in media (fictional women no less) are oversexualized (or just sexualized in general) it would result in workplace issues...but then we should have way more instances of this...which we don't.

    I know you'd like to believe that it's all very cleaar so you can justify your own irrational biases but reality doesn't conform to your misguided sense of purity.

  • Reminder: Full Dust Refunds for Gibberling, Apotheosis, and Renew End Soon!

    That may make sense for most players. But I like to have as complete a collection as I can, and I have about 17k dust. The 240 dust isnt important at this point. I will likely have about 20k dust after the expansion hits and about 200 packs worth of cards.

  • Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick Calls Original Response Tone Deaf, Responds to Lawsuit

    You really can't see how objectifying women in the workplace and objectifying women in the product produced by that workplace are directly connected? I really don't think you're arguing in good faith here, because this stuff is pretty blindingly obvious.

  • WCDC Season 4 Suggestions

    An alternative to rating cards on a scale of 1-5, we could be shown cards in pairs and pick which one we like better. I honestly don't think this would be a huge improvement, but I thought I'd share it anyway for the sake of discussion. 

    It would work largely the same where you only see a pair once and the pairs that haven't been shown as much would have an increased chance of being shown. There would be an incredibly larger number of entries to vote on, but not everyone would have to vote on each pair. Also, it's much easier to pick which card you like more than decide how much a card is worth.

    Again, this probably won't be imp implemented, just thought it was an interesting idea.

  • Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick Calls Original Response Tone Deaf, Responds to Lawsuit

    You should have been more precise in what you meant with your initial message then. Because the way I read it is following:
    "But I want my female elves in Victoria Secrets outfits"

  • Questing in Stormwind - Understanding the Impact of Hearthstone's New Questlines

    Obviously, these quests are pretty slow, but having to put in a lot of effort to complete them is fine. What isn't fine is how slow the rewards are. For many of the quests you have to play roughly 8-9 cards, then play a 5 mana 7/7 with no keywords, and all they do is enhance your future plays.

    By the time these are completed, unless you are in a long and grindy control vs control matchup, the game will be almost over. But you have to keep playing more cards to actually utilize the reward. In most cases, the final reward will be obsolete.

    Does this mean I dislike the questlines? No, I think their awesome and will likely craft 2-3 of them within the first week. But I don't have a lot of hope for many of them becoming tier 1.

  • WCDC Season 4 Suggestions

    Pro

    I agree that AeroJulwin's idea for the finalists voting is a very cool and clean idea if the staff decides to keep that phase, I second that suggestion. It solves the issue I was aiming at far more elegantly than an expanded voting system with categories. Too bad that's no option for the first voting phase due to the sheer number of cards.

    If dragging cards to reorder them isn't technically possible, I'm pretty confident there's a workaround like applying numbers to them for first, second, third place and so on.
