After another week I´ve hit lvl 90 with 90% achievements done (missing the 200 sigils, 600 Sermon buffs,100 rank spells, copying 5 secrets and building golems rank 2 and 3, since I don´t own the Kazakus). Got the coin and feel pretty much as h0lysatan above me, it´s getting quite boring. After hitting lvl 100 you got nothing to be excited for, just plain gold.

Anyway, where are you all? How far are you with your XP achievements? Which hero are you choosing this time? Any other thoughts? Let us know :)

Happy leveling all!

Missing important information, like "most popular Cithria" and "most popular poro".

I really like the art on these cards. But I don't think this is was landmark need to be viable.

Malphite + Leona + Yasuo, maybe? I can dream lol. Targon needs more Stuns outside of champions to convince Yasuo to part with Noxus.

I was at first too, but come to think of it it make sense, she was popular during the beta, she is part of the starter deck, last season she was part of the dominant TF/Go Hard deck and spider aggro have been popular this season.

You seem like obsessed with "Need" term and you shouldn't in my opinion.

There are two distinct uses of the word 'need' here. The first is just a sloppy alternative to asking whether HS would benefit from another class, and you are completely right that I should switch out the word 'need' here.

The second use is more correct and more central to what this thread was intended to discuss. We could ask whether DH's decks/archetypes could exist to a very good approximation in another class based on the established class identity. If so, then it is just up to Blizz to print those cards in that other class, and all the faffing around with DH is unnecessary. 

So to ask whether HS needs a class is really to ask whether the class is unique enough to offer something that couldn't be covered by an existing class, and not so much a comment on whether HS as a game actually needs to add certain types of content to be successful.

This all gets muddied by classes gaining new tricks as time goes on, and some of these becoming core to how the class functions. Rogue's ability to generate cards from other classes didn't exist during Classic, for example, but is certainly a permanent fixture now. Since that can happen, could we not bypass adding classes completely and just add tools to the existing classes? This is of course the pre-DH philosophy of HS.

Clearly the philosophy of the word 'need' is deeper than I expected when I started writing this...

Paladin players need to be [humanely euthanized] like the [homunculi] they are.

If this shit class isn't gutted within the next patch I'll [carefully take my time to plan every turn against] every single one of those [unsavory individuals of society] until they [lose the desire to play the game for a pronlonged period of time].

So if HS needs any more classes (very much up for debate!), it will probably want a spellcaster class that doesn't use weapons, or only very sparingly if they do. That probably rules out Death Knight too. Despite the restrictions on players in WoW, there are way more classes that exist in the Warcraft universe than you can actually play as, so you could easily find something.

 

You seem like obsessed with "Need" term and you shouldn't in my opinion. Thess kind of contents are added game for more content mostly instead of the game needs it. You are right about uniqueness tho. If there is more content, it should be unique in some ways but "HS doesn't need any more classes" as an approach is wrong at the first place in my opinion. There should be some contents without the game needs it to expand the game's universe. It is true for any of the games. So for hearthstone it doesn't really matter which kind of content it is; I mean, another weapon class, another spell class etc. If it is unique enough, even there are similar canditates in the game, they should be added to the game too for serving more choices to player base like different approach of a weapon class, different style of control/aggro/combo potential etc.

Think about FPS games, most of them doesn't really need any more weapons, but people likes to have newer ones because it gives people some other choices to play.

Same with Moba genre, After dozens of characters added, most of them doesn't really need any new characters to the game but new characters always are welcomed for player bases because it is more choices. It is also good for competitive gaming because there is ban systems in games.

If everything is made for necessity, We don't even need new expansions in card games because it is always Combo, Control, Aggro, Midrange etc. It is a limited format like Rock, Paper, Scissors and different colors like new Classes just gives it more colors to make it more alive. So Uniqueness is the most important part. If the game doesn't even need another aggro class for example, It should be added to the game if it feels unique in my opinion.

The solution is to lean into the whole left/right thing, but not have it attached to the outcast keyword so often. They are already starting to do this with Zai, the Incredible and Kurtrus Ashfallen (yes, Kurtrus has outcast, but he attacks the left- and right-most minions even without it). This way you can play DH with the unique aspect of being mindful of the positions of cards (both in hand and on board), without feeling like you have to ignore a huge part of the class to do it.

Also, differentiate left-most and right-most synergies.

• The left-most card in your hand is the one you've been hoarding the longest. It is likely an expensive and/or situational card. "Left-most" synergies need to push a combo or control playstyle
• The right-most card in your hand is always a card you drew or generated this turn. "Right-most" synergies need to push a miracle or zoo playstyle.

Reno Jackson is a defensive option that merely stalls, is a situational card that can almost never be played on curve, is a one-off, and in some matches its just downright useless. Decks can still work even if you never draw or play reno.

Refreshing Spring Water can and will be played on curve if able, in dedicated decks have practically no downside, is a two-off (outside of discovers), is capable of giving you mana, draws you further into your deck, and can literally win you the game. APM mage cannot function without it, no minion mage is nothing without it.

I rest my case. Its just an opinion after all. There's plenty of busted cards in hearthstone, but few that ever made me feel so completely helpless. The last time this happened it was the endless waves of solarian primes and puzzle boxes, and now its seeing my board completely wiped and my opponent just drew two thirds of his deck by turn 6.

I’m always happy to see DreamQuest love. 

Tess, Undatakah, Phaoris.

Missed those cards. Might have to mess around in wild this month.

I did a little last month with Deathrattle DH and Hero power Mage. But that Big DH list looks very amusing. Can't wait to try all these decks out.  Thanks for sharing!

As I said to your friend: imagine fully healing you for only 6 mana!! and with a body as a gift!! and being a neutral card!! BUSTED!!
