Installed it earlier today. Traversal is sublime and the aesthetic is awesome, but the difficulty is through the roof. Gonna really need that shield from assist mode.
Great game. It's basically Katana Zero (another awesome indi game), but in 3D. There's also a sequel out there that I didn't really get into because it features bike levels and I hated the one in the free demo.
I thought it was possible to get a little snow if someone hits you with a snowball. Or I guess you might be able to accumulate 20 snowflakes by clicking around the site.
Flux! I'm all out of snow (guess I shouldn't have bought cosmetics for four digits 😬)... Can you please allow snowballs to be bought with other currency as well? Alternatively, I'll just start throwing goldballs *bonk
Perhaps another observation should be made pointing out that Horus has died from hypothermia due to all the snowballs thrown at him. May he rest in snow...
Dec 29th 2023 Dear diary, I thought it would be wise to document the event as they unfold, before history even out its perils and gets written by the victor of the Snowball Fight! that is on-going. Despite NebuchadnezzarHS and myself's valiant effort at starting Snowpocalypse4 strong in terms of snowballs thrown, once anchorm4n got involved our best volleys were no match for his Rapid Fireand constant bombardments. VaBeZ also held strong his ground on the leaderboard for a bit, before Pezman shown us all the true meaning of being Snowed In. And in the meantime, notoriously fierce for his Hardpacked SnowballsCaro just woke from his slumber and Demonxz95 been quietly accumulating snowflakes, which I worry isn't to Build a Snowman ... The perfect storm : I predict a Blizzard will ensue
I understand what you're saying. For me it's just sad that they saw themselves with a lot of money from this system and didn't care about redesigning it, and making all cards relevant. Like getting all of them in a balanced state and focusing on diversity. They keep chugging out cards, a lot of them useless, just to dilute the pool and thus gain more money.
I guess what i'm saying is that the focus is not on quality and efficiency and strategic thinking. But this is the game now and it's clearly not for me anymore.
Sure, but you could say this about any card game. So that's not so much an issue with Hearthstone as it is the genre of strategic card games as a whole. Magic the Gathering seems to release new sets more frequently than Hearthstone. I believe they typically do 4 sets a year, and actually 5 sets in 2023. And if you prefer physical MtG, you have no guarantees of duplicate protection like in Hearthstone when buying packs. And buying individual cards after they've been opened can be way more expensive. I don't play it, but I thought Legends of Runeterra does fairly well with their f2p model, you still have the time commitment to grind out a set of cards prior to a new set being released, and then grinding to get more cards because the new ones change the meta and what you need to be competitive.
This is why historically people have claimed that Wild is cheaper than Standard. Stronger old cards often and fewer of the new cards are needed to make competitive Wild decks. However, in the last year or two, more and more new cards seem to become relevant in Wild upon release as the team has had to really power creep to create more new, and interesting cards. In some cases, entire new archetypes have come up that require a lot of new cards (Curse Warlock, Even 3xUnholy Plague DK... which is an extreme example as the entire class is barely a year old).
And I'm not necessarily saying that Hearthstone is cheap, by any means. Just more so making a general observation that it and nearly all other games like it, are going to have the inherent cost of time and/or money to build up a collection of useable cards.
This is a great overview, Thonson! Thanks for the great community contribution.
It'll be interesting to see if this is able to capture new players whenever Hearthstone ends up on Steam. I can only imagine they're getting feedback now on it being live before flipping that switch next year. New experience does look good!
The biggest issue still remains - the amount of money and time you need to invest to catch up (and play only until the next set arrives). That's the cow milking that i hate.
Wow anchorm4n, that is some mighty impressive statistics keeping of yours! I used to think I was a stats nerd, but this is next level compared to my spreadsheets. Kudos!
As for my personal goal for 2024 regarding Hearthstone (in its anniversary year), I am still trying to get as close to the maximum percentages for all achievements.
The last Battlegrounds achievement I have to complete is Spicy Pretzel Mustard and I will need all the luck in the world to do so.
Getting four out of the five achievements categories to 100% is almost within reach, but the last one will sadly never reach 100% because I simply do not enjoy playing Arena.

Depends. At what point have I thrown enough snowballs at you that you stop being Demon and become a snowball yourself?

Aww....
Anchorm4n, can you help me make a snowball?
