  • How did Anivia win that game?

    I think im a little upset right now...

    i played a game of expidition with a quite good Garen Darius Elite Deck on round 5

    my Opponent basicly crafted a probably very solid Aniva Ashe frostburn deck

     

    the point where it went strange was the following

    he has a lvld Anivia on his side

     

    I have a 6/3 (after he took 2 dmg) fearsome guy and a full board on my attack round he on 4 life me on 5

    i attack imedeatly so he cant play anything.

    so far so good he blocks with anivia the 6/3 and i should have done MORE then enough dmg to kill him trice with my other minions.

    What happens? Anivia dies, all of my other minions are frostburned wihtout him playing a card (i looked in the list... nothign happend, he didnt play a spell at all) and he is able to play a few minions and kill me the next round

    pls party people what happend here?

  • Blizzard Shares Deck Winrate Data from the Top 1% of Hearthstone Players, Possible Balance Talks in a Few Weeks

    My sample size from last six games at rank 7: 

    Embiggen Druid: 100%

  • Achievements not counting towards Quest reward.

    Simply put.  I have a quest today to play 3 Champions from Demacia or Noxus.  I played 3 games vs AI and played a total of 5 champions from said regions.  It still only said 1/3.  So I switched to a PvP game and played another 1 or 2 champions, only for it to STILL say 1/3.

    I tried logging out and then back in.  Still the same.  I don't want to reroll it because it's an easy quest.  This is frustrating as it seems to happen to me quite often. 

    Thoughts?  Ideas to remedy this?

    That would happen only together with a general overhaul of the evergreen set

  • Half-Life: Alyx, available March 23, 2020

    I for one cannot wait to get back into City 17 and not only that but this time enjoy it in VR. From the small amount of footage I've seen, it looks like it is going to be a ton of fun and should look stunning. It makes me wonder how the title will end up shaping future VR titles - the lessons other devs learn from it and all that fun.

    Who else is planning on playing? Are you buying a headset to play or did you already own one? Are you waiting for reviews before taking the VR dive?

    The Eternal Store has 5 new theme decks to choose from with the launch of Echoes of Eternity.  You can also purchase a theme bundle and get some cool alt-art versions of Clockroach!

    Echoes of Eternity brings five new pre-constructed theme decks ready for Expedition play!

    • Pale Rider’s Countdown – Acquire the skills you need for victory!
    • Uelo’s Tactics – Control the skies!
    • Kazuo’s Artisans – Build the ultimate weapon!
    • Midias’s Horde – Amass a dragon’s hoard!

    • The theme deck bundle is available now for 1,100 Gems.

    Spring Cleaning

    Next Monday, February 17, we’ll be doing some spring cleaning and removing older theme decks from the in-game store.

    Ten theme decks will remain available for purchase (the decks from Echoes of Eternity and Flame of Xulta), and all of the non-Expedition-legal theme decks will be removed from the store.

    This change should make it easier for players to find theme decks relevant to them, and for new players to quickly jump into Expedition play.

    Look for future theme deck store updates as new content releases, and grab your bundle to begin exploring the new cards from Echoes of Eternity!

  • The Elder Scrolls: Legends - The Noble Gauntlet

    The upcoming TESL Gauntlet will start tomorrow and run through February 17.

    The pauper gets a princely promotion in The Elder Scrolls: Legends’ latest event, the Noble Gauntlet!

    Noble Gauntlet: February 14 – February 17
    Like the commons-only Pauper Gauntlet, a Noble deck is restricted by rarity. In this case, only Common and Rare cards are allowed. Don’t let your guard down, though! A Noble deck can still put up some impressive power without the help of any Epic or Legendary cards.

    Once you’ve constructed a deck, square off with opponents until you reach nine wins or three losses, whichever comes first! Each run through the Noble Gauntlet costs one Event Ticket or 150 Gold, with up to three maximum runs allowed.

    The Noble Gauntlet begins Friday, February 14 at 12pm ET and closes at 12pm ET on Monday, February 17. Events in The Elder Scrolls: Legends change regularly, so check in often to see what new challenges await!

  • Galakrond's Awakening : Heroic Guide

    Quote From Aenarion

    Any tips on defeating heroic Galakrond (E.V.I.L.)? I've only seen wild burn mage as a suggested deck but it has a lot of wild epics (same with wild big priest), code:

    I've beaten most of the heroic bosses with a fast build of warlock mecha'thun, but it's just not fast enough to the insane tempo Galkrond gains by invoking.

    After many tries with other decks I gave up and made good old Freeze mage with Alexstrasza. Only non standard cards are Hall of famed Ice Block and Ice Lance. Worked on both heroic Galakrond boss fights.

    Here´s the deck, if you want to try:

  • Tales of the Deck - Alpha Testing

    Thanks for the kind words! Really glad you enjoyed it. If it's not too much trouble, a positive review on Steam goes a long way for us.

    For anyone interested, we are now available on Steam in the Early Access program.

  • Blizzard Shares Deck Winrate Data from the Top 1% of Hearthstone Players, Possible Balance Talks in a Few Weeks

    All of this synchs with my ladder experience @ R5, except Galakrond Warrior. Although, it is actually fairly well positioned against the Hunters and Paladins. So maybe that explains it. I'm thankful Dean has been doing this.

    Hi, we are glad that you are excited! :) We dont have an exact eta just yet, still working on the proper tools for it. We want to have a dedicated system for it to make things more fair than before and just the whole experience to feel even better, so hang on for a little while longer ;-)

    Any news on this front

    We should have something to tell you real soon. Not soonTM.

  • Legends of Runeterra - Crafting Runeterra on a Budget: Facing Fearsome

    Staff

    Yeah, Fearsome is pretty strong mechanic for sure. There is a lot of tokens or low attack minions that can deny tons of attacks, Fearsome deals with those. Feels great when your opponent cant put up any blockers and if they can, just pull them with your 1/1s aside :D Elise FTW!

  • Experience gain from expeditions ?

    Quote From FortyDust

    Also, free runs (after your third in one week) offer ONLY the bonus XP -- no shards or capsules. For this reason, free runs are single trials only, not best of two (since best of two is used only to determine the amount of shards and capsules, not XP).

    additionally to that free runs are on average a better way to get experience than just playing regular games since on average you're gonna get around 300-500 more experience for the same amount of time

  • When deck building defies logic

    Jinx in general strikes me as a very deck-optimized type of champion...meaning if you're even missing only a few cards the deck falls apart due to lack of consistency.

    Jinx-Draven is a pretty powerful combo who tend to fuel each other. Include all the discard support you can find (Flame Chompers into Vision is pretty neat) and a bit of good removal (Culling Strike and others) and you can slap pretty hard. The deck has phenomenal reach with Get Excited and the Rocket.

    At the end of the day, you're gonna need 3 of both Champions as well as most of the key cards such as the Experimenter dude that discard 3 and draws 3

  • Blizzard May be Reverting Card Nerfs on the Next Set Rotation

    Logical arguments do not apply on meme cards, don't you know that?

  • Question about the game client

    I'm pretty sure playing against yourself for PvP rewards would be considered an exploit, and a very easily detectable one at that.

    I advise against it.

  • When deck building defies logic

    The problem may be as simple as the fact that this isn't a Jinx-friendly meta. You've fallen in love with a Champion who cannot perform up to your expectations, so your attempts to improve the deck built around her are doomed to fail.

    Also, you are definitely tinkering with your deck too frequently. Don't react to every single loss. You should mainly watch how the deck performs against popular meta decks, not janky random stuff. Look for trends -- is a certain card underperforming in multiple games for the same reason? That's when you look for an upgrade.

    (And if that card is Jinx, it's just time to let her go, man!)

  • Floating Watcher is Moving to Tavern Tier 4 in a Server Patch this Thursday

    Quote From clawz161

    Cobalt slides by again.

    They specifically told us they were going to address Demons. Demons needed an immediate change. There are bigger/more changes coming. Be patient and wait and see what other changes they have in store.
