Really awesome to play some Galakrond decks and then have 4 straight games where I get under 10 cards in my deck and no sign of either Galakrond or Kronx to draw him. Super glad I built the entire deck around a card and his draw engine who both seem to want to be at the very bottom of deck and cost me 4 games I likely would have otherwise won.
"Shares its strength" i.e. has the same effect as Heroic Innkeeper (who has a better face) - gets stronger with "friends" i.e. other minions. I'm not sure about the overdrive - would suggest maybe Rush or Charge?
Nothing has materialized yet for any Shadowlands pre-order bonuses in Blizzard's other titles, but that doesn't mean it isn't going to happen. I'd find it very weird that a WoW collector's edition didn't come with bonuses for other titles. It is possible bonuses weren't allowed to be worked on by other teams so they didn't accidentally push out assets that would leak the expansion (we've seen similar things happen in the past which is why Hearthstone sometimes leaves descriptions on card backs "TBD").
50/50 shot of there being a card back IMO. We saw one back in Warlords, they skipped Legion, and then we got one again for Battle for Azeroth. I'd love to see one considering how much cool Shadowlands art we've got so far.
The game has only been available for 2 separate testing periods, each lasting about a week, since the announcement last year. When the game returns, and in an open state next week, it will have been just over 2 months since anyone outside of Riot has been able to play.
I understand the frustration, but this information was shared quite a bit with everyone on their side, and we've published it at least a handful of times.
Game is amazingly polished btw. I don't see how the lack of a Runeterra-specific support ticket showcases otherwise since their official FAQs stated how everything was going to work.
I hope you download the game next week when access is open to all on the 24th and get a chance to give it a shot!
i dont agree except for the galakrond shaman. it was clearly OP to me when they announced its cards. after the first round of nerfs i also didnt think it would be enough. cant believe they let it go free for so long. outside of that i think u cant except them to predict which will be op or not
Enthusiasm for this title is rapidly diminishing... registered in mid-October and still haven't received a beta key; every time I check my status, it states it is pending (and that I should just wait). The website doesn't give you the option to enter a support ticket (the only link that works goes to a LoL support ticket submission screen)... Does not bode well with me for polish and play of the actual game...
Your version of Microsoft Edge or browser on Android is likely out of date. Older browsers aren't fully supported on the site since we use some more recent web features. I don't think it is too much to assume people are updating their browsers since it is a lot more commonplace these days. It also gives us a huge benefit where some of our favourite spammer friends are using such outdated browsers, they can't even use the site, letting us be more spam-free.
I agree that we need more uniqueness on the Hearthstone side, it is our largest fault by far. Things are cooking and 2020 is definitely going to be our year!
You can just override the hero power with the quest... which is the first thing i plan on trying. arcane breathe, magic trick, ray of frost and conj already provide you with 8 spells (or more) for the slots of 4. combined with board clear, you can easily come close to completing the quest, just before you use the hero to wipe the board.- since you don't really care about completing the quest early. Most people tend to fill up the board just before you complete the quest out of fear of losing a value game so it's also a perfect bait.
When they star that Dark Skies, plague of flames, defile shenanigans, I hit "Concede" and save my precious minutes and mental health!!
You should do that too. Don't bother with other useless stuff...
If you play Loatheb, you just delay your defeat for 1 turn, if you play dirty rat you will pull one or two of the several unused minions from their hand. Same goes for saboteur regarding spells. The only consistent strategy is milling, but you won't play these stuff on a serious deck.
They still completely overnerfed shaman. The first round of nerfs were obviously super necessary, and the second nerf to the deck was needed too but they completely over did it. They basically killed the archetype and the class. I'm super bummed about it because there was finally a deck that could play all the cool spell based shaman legendaries they printed with zero support (Elektra, Zentimo, Krag'wa), and they instantly nuke it. Very frustrating.
meanwhile Rogue only gets one nerf. Amazing.
I actually don't like frequent nerfing unless the power level of a deck is out of hand (first wave of Shaman nerfs, Rise of shadows Tempo Rogue). All they did with these nerfs is shift the power around. Now Rogue is going to end up on top, are they going to just nerf that too?

Secret Mage is a joke. Even more when you get Aluneth on 6. It's not the most over-the-top deck in Wild, but ffs it feels so bad to play against.

Nope. As far as "strength" goes, I was thinking more along the lines of raw stats rather than abilities.
Is a collection manager ever coming?
This is a very strange message to read out of contex
Hearthstone Devs Speak! Iksar on Nerfing Cards, Buffing Cards and Power Level
Personally I don’t care about frequency of changes, but rather timeliness of changed when needed. I feel like these have been good lately.
Also, having a golden Dragon’s Pack and golden Scion helped make the nerfs pretty nice for me personally!

Hearthstone Devs Speak! Iksar on Nerfing Cards, Buffing Cards and Power Level
I don't expect them to systematically know what is too much.
But why should you be careful if you know you can hotfix few days later?
Galakrond Shaman was the first product of such a policy.
Why should they do internal testing at all, if people are happy with weekly nerfs?
See where this could lead?
But hey, people like it. They think fast and frequent nerfs is good customer service. So it's apparently all good...

I'm not that great at being cryptic, but I'll give it a shot.

Though I must admit, she has much better facial features.

It's time for battle, switch into overdrive!

Is it Lesser Sapphire Spellstone?
It's "blue". It's a wild card. You have to power it up. Depending on its power it can summon either 1, 2, or 3 minions.

Nope but good guess - that "1, 2, 3" line is a very specific part of this.

Nope - though this is closer by being a wild card (I was being quite literal with that in the clue)
