I was very careful ALL throughout my post to say that this wasn't a salt thread and I'm not turning on the game or anything like that. I was very careful to point out that I'd be over all of this when the new expac came out and I'd be pumping lots of cash into the next expac when it drops.
Not touching most of this argument, but just to note - an awful lot of salt-threads start with the poster claiming that it isn't a salt thread ;)
I literally don't know what you want, dude.
I admitted this is just how things get for a lot of people for this time of the year. And it's not really anything Blizzard are doing wrong, it's just how the system works. And I even said that this year is a lot better than last in a number of ways, but I'm still kinda feeling the lull to an extent. And at no point did I say or imply that's anyone's fault but my own, which is the entire reason I made this topic: I wanted to know what other people thought.
I said I do not pin any of this on Blizzard. As mentioned earlier, I even said this was an improvement. Not something that someone salty would say, is it?
I said I'm looking forward to these so called "exciting" news to be presented later. Again, tell me how this is salt towards Blizzard.
I said I'm going to continue supporting the game and will cashdump the new expansion the second it's announced. TOTALLY SOMETHING I WOULD DO IF I WAS SALTY AGAINST BLIZZARD FOR A BORING METAGAME.
You even said it yourself, it's almost like people are supposed to feel this way near the end of rotation.
In which case... I'm sorry I feel the way that you just said it's common for people to feel? Like I said, I literally don't know how I'm out of line for saying "remember how people were getting burnt out on Standard this time of year last year? Yeah. Kinda getting that now, myself. But it's no big deal, the new expac is coming in a month and all will be right with the world soon."
There are little to no decks for the old adventures on here (which makes sense, this site didn't exist when Nax came out!) So sadly, my searches for help on some of the heroic bosses, has taken me back to that "other" site. A comprehensive guide of each adventure with a couple of suggested decks for each boss would really set this site apart from the others.
I would love to write these guides, but I don't know how quickly I could get them made.
Most adventures can be beat by Mechathun Warlock or Knife Jugler priest OTK deck
I know that... Do all people who are trying to beat Heroic modes? No. Wouldn't it be useful to have a guide explaining each fight and show which fights those decks do and don't work for?
I'm merely pointing out something that I think could make this site, that I care about and try to contribute to, even better than it already is.
There are already plenty of places people can go to find snarky comments just telling people to "Just use Mecha'thun Warlock". Some people don't want to do that, and want to think about the fight and try and build a deck to beat it. I'm not saying it's something everyone would use, but I'm sure there are people that would benefit from it's existence.
Just something I had been thinking about as I was going through the old adventures that I wanted to share with the OOC's squad.

Oh I had thought the throat was maybe "slashed throat" i.e. a reference to Cutthroat Buccaneer since they're both from Witchwood lol. Anyways here we go:
Fantastic content, thanks Goliath! I had forgotten about some details, and really enjoyed seeing how the little interludes (like tavern brawls) actually fit into the whole. I really hope they do yearlong stories again, it's been fun!
Have to say, George and Karl was my favorite aspect of this. Their reunion in Galakrond's Awakening was so heartwarming! "We can be BROS again!"
No, then it simply becomes a case of "what, you're bored of Star Wars? Go watch Star Trek, then."
Whole different thing, completely different topic.
If I wanted to discuss issues about Star Trek, that's what I would have opened the discussion to. If I wanted to talk about Wild? Then I would have opened the discussion about Wild.
Yes, people can have differing opinions about whether or not they're bored about Hearthstone's Standard metagame as of late February 2020. I don't really care one way or another if he is or isn't. But if he's going to be needlessly confrontational about someone being bored of the current ongoings of Standard, I don't have any problems being needlessly confrontational right back.
Perfectly calm, by the way, you obviously haven't seen me when I'm angry.
There isn't one? Don't put words in my mouth and say that I said there was, maybe?

I'm just experiencing the annual lull that almost everyone feelsduring this time of year, and wanted to talk about it, how it compares to the slump people were feeling last year, and how, in my opinion (and I seem to be in the minority here, and that's fine, because GASP, PEOPLE CAN HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS AND FEELINGS ABOUT A SUBJECT!?) Galakrond's Awakening didn't do a whole lot to freshen up the meta. And maybe it wasn't supposed to, maybe I simply expected too much from a 35 card expansion.
And I wanted to, gee whiz, talk about something relating to Hearthstone that was on my mind. On a forum dedicated to discussing Hearthstone! Not everything needs to be a huge complaint to Blizzard about how the game is broken and how I need what I want and how it's the best thing for the game and I need it RIGHT THIS MINUTE.
Pretty sure people who have that kind of attitude towards the game aren't eager to shell out cash for the next expansion if they're dissatisfied with the game, but what the hell do I know?
Geez dude, calm down. Nobody is insulting you or saying anything mean about you. He is just saying that there are plenty of decks for you to try and that if you are bored than you can play some of those. No need to get all angry just because -- (and these are your own words) -- "People can have different opinions and feelings about a subject". He clearly isn't as bored with Hearthstone as you are, and he is simply saying that there are more decks to play in wild.
He is being perfectly reasonable, and you are overreacting over his choice of specific words. Maybe you don't see being bored as a "problem" but some other people might, and therefore offer solutions such as, playing wild.

Considering they're actually generating interest, they're going to be kept for the time being. Lots of people don't log in to Arena every day so it is a good way to know if something is available you're interested in.
One could say a lot of things posted on any site are zero value. You could very easily see the decks we spotlight by visiting a deck database. You could go right to Blizzard's blog if you want to see patch notes they post or follow all the developer Twitter accounts to see what they have to say.
At the end of the day, we're covering news and if people are consuming it, its worth posting about!
