This is exactly what I was talking about.. You totally wasted your gold on an old expac probably other players too, to get that treasure unlock in duels..
It's getting rough for F2P. At this point, I can usually scrape together one top-ish tier deck per expansion from either Rouge, Mage, or Priest with Paladin, Warlock, and Demon Hunter as pure dust farms.
Played 3 games a Fiesta/Random/Casino Mage, played a total of 4 Yoggs, won a game with him, and got 4 different outcomes from the wheel, no achievement...
F me for playing in casual, thanks Blizz...
TL;DR No, most probably they can't be completed outside of a Ranked Game.
Although, if you Corrupt this by playing a spell, it becomes the copy of the last minion played. It doesn't specify who played it. It can also be the last minion your opponent played.
Technically, you can make this cost 0. Minions with Charge like Stonetusk Boar would cause some OTK decks, but you need to Corrupt a bunch of cards and also play them to reduce the cost of this. So this seems very slow and therefore balanced? I don't know, it's a cool card.
PS: I'm not good at art design so I used an old one. You might say this minion already looks Corrupted, just focus on mechanics. Also, the rules asked for a minion type and this doesn't have any, but you can transform it into any minion type you want lol
So I'm gonna take a break from hearthstone constructed. And now you may be wondering "But bagel the Xpac just came out?" And to that, I counter with "Yeah but I have a solid 25 cards from it" Quite frankly had it not been for duels I might have had a bit more but I was 3 epics away from a new treasure so I just bought some SA packs to get it, and now I'm high and dry to get any Darkmoon stuff. And so far from the games I've played in standard, I saw about 3 secret hunters, 2 AGGRO HUNTERS IN STANDARD, and a stealth rouge oh and also a warlock who didn't play any DMF cards except C'thun who he didn't even finish building.
So quite frankly I get it's still new and stuff but I've seen no cards, been beaten up by hunters in standard, and am pretty much broke due to the new reward system, but hey I've got 40 dust from that year of the dragon pack! So while I'm not quitting hearthstone entirely I'm taking a break from standard/ranked/duels whatever needs a collection and just gonna do some battlegrounds every now and then. Because I want my matches to be slightly less decided by rolling a single D20.
I've had similar bug on both daily and weekly quests, I think 1/5 became 1/50 and 1/3 was like 1/20. Luckily, it is just a visual bug so I didn't have to spend my every waking hour trying to complete them.
So some re-calculation based on the following scenario (no tavern pass):
100% completion of daily quests at an average of 900XP/quest: 108,000 XP
100% completion of weekly quests, including 7 ranked wins: 102,000 XP
0.5 hour/day of ranked playtime: 24,000 XP
Total gold (without converting packs to gold): 6900
This is slightly less than what I got before but I expect the seasonal events to make up the difference and more. However, it should be noted that I have had to change my play pattern in order to achieve 7 ranked wins a week, which runs counter to the promise of getting comparable/higher gold for the same play pattern.
Those who are not competitive in ranked play remain significantly disadvantaged - XP from ranked wins should be a bonus, not a cornerstone to achieving previous levels of gold rewards.
I think the OP meant the special ones that give XP for your rewards track, not those with useless bragging points.
On topic, I think not, many of the new quests don´t work when playing with friend so I guess this would be the same, tho I didn´t try it yet. AFAIK they can be completed only in Ranked or Duels by now.
Good news buddy, this week's brawl will be "Captain Blackheart's Treasure", so it should only take you about 17,954 hours to play it 65 times! Think about all the hourly XP you'll gain!
Yes, I KNOW this is problably just a visual bug, but it gave me a good laugh, so I thought I might share :D (Or Blizz is being serious and I´ll have to play all the 65 Brawl games, guess I´ll find out later today XD)
I suspect not, since (most?) achievements won't even complete in Casual. At least, they didn't for me.
I wish we could for a few of them. I've been trying for ages to get someone to hit me with a 10+ cost minion for the Shadow Clone achievement, but either they just don't have any in their deck or its an Old God, out of which C'Thun kills you before he attacks, while Y'Shaarj and N'Zoth always come alongside a lot of cheaper minions which they attack with first.
I'm kind of regretting not letting that 43/37 Yogg hit me now... How silly I was for trying to win the game.
If you are also keeping up with the daily and weekly quests, you should reach level 50 of the rewards track with time to spare, with or without the tavern pass.
Edit: I assumed you're playing ranked ladder, if you're not then the above may not apply because a significant amount of weekly exp is tied to ranked wins.
The only thing that is assured right now is that we got another promise from the top that they will be doing something about the progression track (i.e. changing 6 packs to 1350 gold at the tail end)
As for the season events boost, that's neither new nor concrete. The boost can be as high as doubling xp to as low as giving us previous expansion packs (its not like this was never done before). Also, if it takes a booster granted solely on their discretion to get me on par with what I had before, that's not progress. That's taking away my left shoe, wrapping it up nice and presented to me as a birthday gift.
You're right on one thing. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes if this assurance falls short yet again.
Remember, we can still enjoy the game while not liking certain aspects of it. Arena and Wild players have been doing exactly that since the beginning of time so find a friend who partakes in those sides of the game and ask them how they cope.
Haha come on in the Wild water is fine! I bitterly went to Wild because I crafted OG Dr. Boom just weeks before they announced the first set rotation, but now I'm loving it here. Not having to go through annual set rotations is great for casuals - your favourite deck will still work from year to year, with maybe a few new cards per expansion for optimisation or variety.
Edit: on the main topic at hand, there was the concern that the 2 extra legendaries on the rewards track was effectively only one because the first legendary was going to take the place of the one we've been getting at the launch of each new expansion. That turns out to not be the case (ie. we now get three random legendaries outside of packs), but this does support the claim that this was mostly a failure of communication.
It is rather sad that an otherwise happy occasion (new features, new expansion and with a whimsical theme at that) is marred by such controversy. I wanted to believe the best of Blizzard but they really didn't help themselves.
From my normal packs i got a total of 17! Epic cards, and 1 golden Horrendous Growth. (which i instantly disenchanted to craft a 2nd Malevolent Strike.)
From a golden Darkmoon pack i got a golden C'Thun, the Shattered which i'm SOO happy with. The old C'Thun was one of the biggest reasons i started playing wild, so i'm so happy i got the new one in golden!
My pack opening this time was very lucky, way better than Ashes & Scholomance. In those expansion i had VERY bad luck with legendaries and epics, and i'm still missing quite a bunch of those. But i'm glad i got a lot of legendaries i wanted, and i can actually play some decks right away this time! :)
I'm taking a break

Old Gods, New Tricks - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread
Faceless, Giant and Corrupt mechanics all in one. This would best fit in Shaman, because you know, they like to transform stuff.
This card seems like Flobbidinous Floop in some aspects, but differs on some important ones, too. There are two ways you can Corrupt this:
If you Corrupt this by playing a minion, it copies that minion. It can be an Old God, Malygos, Dragonqueen Alexstrasza or maybe Carnival Clown lol
Although, if you Corrupt this by playing a spell, it becomes the copy of the last minion played. It doesn't specify who played it. It can also be the last minion your opponent played.
Technically, you can make this cost 0. Minions with Charge like Stonetusk Boar would cause some OTK decks, but you need to Corrupt a bunch of cards and also play them to reduce the cost of this. So this seems very slow and therefore balanced? I don't know, it's a cool card.
PS: I'm not good at art design so I used an old one. You might say this minion already looks Corrupted, just focus on mechanics. Also, the rules asked for a minion type and this doesn't have any, but you can transform it into any minion type you want lol

Feno's Control Demon Hunter - Darkmoon Faire Day 1
This looks more like a combo deck than a control deck: Il'gynoth + Eye Beam + Mo'arg Artificer = lots of damage.

Got the mega pre-order for the first (And most likely only) time, and bought 15 packs with gold. (So 95 normal packs, and 5 golden.)
(No clue if it's worth mentioning this, but from the level 1 pass reward i already got a Kiri, Chosen of Elune.)
From the pre-order i got a golden Sayge, Seer of Darkmoon.
From the normal packs i got: Yogg-Saron, Master of Fate, N'Zoth, God of the Deep, [Hearthstone Card (Tenwu, of the red smoke) Not Found], Zai, the Incredible, Inara Stormcrash, and Rinling's Rifle.
From my normal packs i got a total of 17! Epic cards, and 1 golden Horrendous Growth. (which i instantly disenchanted to craft a 2nd Malevolent Strike.)
From a golden Darkmoon pack i got a golden C'Thun, the Shattered which i'm SOO happy with. The old C'Thun was one of the biggest reasons i started playing wild, so i'm so happy i got the new one in golden!
My pack opening this time was very lucky, way better than Ashes & Scholomance. In those expansion i had VERY bad luck with legendaries and epics, and i'm still missing quite a bunch of those.
