    I've gotta say that I quite like this new design. Thumbs up to you for this one, Blizzard.

  • Group Therapy! Need to blow off some steam? Mega salty? Here's the place!

    Daily reminder that Mind Control Tech is a fucking stupid card I can't stand losing to. Fuck that card and even more fuck those who play it.

  • Descent of Dragons

    So Evil classes will get 3 legendaries yeah? Sounds like the 5 Galakronds will be the typical uncraftable/undustable legendaries for free. And the evil classes will still have their two legendaries.. 

    can anyone confirm this either way? 

    Also i’m stoked on this expansion and will definitely preorder both. Ulduum was my first order and i have loved having almost every card

    And don't forget that you're also guaranteed to get a Legendary within your first 10 packs of the expansion.

    FINALLLYYYYYYYYYYYYY !! I dont want to offend anyone buyt how f*cking hard it is to allow us hide games, literally waiting years for small sh*t it makes using app so much more enjoyable and just better, i study programming and i know is't not a lot of work so CONGRATULATIONS BLIZZARD thank you. Btw if you think im mad im not, i want to help you understand how they skip small things that should be in app or any game from the beggining, like in Overwatch we could't see our teammates ult % for about 1,5 year and its really easy to do it, almost as easy as changing dmg on some hero you literally just change numbers, here you have to write small portion of code that is taking literally 1 information and displays it so thank you for that too

  • New Shaman Spell - Lightning Breath

    Quote From YourPrivateNightmare

    yeah, no, we're all going to hate this immensly after about 3 days.

    just slap a dragon package into Quest Shaman. Draconic Lackey already makes this more consistent. So aside from Sandstorm Elemental and MCT you'll also have to worry about getting flamestriked at 3....hitting coincidentally the exact same number of minions that you would play to not play into MCT.

    I'm gonna give this expansion a chance, but I feel like I'm just gonna quit after two weeks.

    we always gonna quit after 2 weeks no matter what, HS isn't made to last more than that anyway

    I was also playing a tournament winning list without even knowing it ^^

  • Hearthstone Battlegrounds

    I'm having mix feeling on HS Battleground: On one hand, they are finally implementing a new mode - which is nice, even if it doesn't seem this exciting to me - on the other, tournament mode has yet to even surface and been on their ''to do'' list for quite some time now. I do hope it will be better than what I'm expecting it to be, that's my only wish.

  • New Battle.net App Beta - New UI, Hiding Games, More Game News

    can this new battle.net app change the save folder of HS screens ? can it stop the auto-play of videos/streams ?

  • Hearthstone Battlegrounds

    Positive thing is, that they try to do something new. But that's it in my opinion.

     

    At first glance it looked like a really low effort, because practically all interface and cards - are reused.

    After watching about 3-4 hours of Kripparian stream... my opinion got only worse.

    Long story short - I think Battlegrounds will not have enough variety. Which means - low replayability, so probably it will not last long. It is not possible to survive without Blizzard support.

     

    It's nice to try something new, especially before next year Standard rotation, that's it. I hate to be this negative, but that's what I feel.

    We can really expect more effort from Blizzard. Personally I hoped they announce Auto Chess, but... based on Heroes of the Storm characters. They have so many nice characters there... (I play HotS casually sometimes).

     

    In case of HS, I wait for some interesting new modes. For example I so much want to play Sealed format. I hope they can introduce new mode next year.

    It's true! I totally forgot about this.

  • Question about Invoke Ability

    Quote From DoubleSummon

    you do get the 2 1/1 imps I am not sure if the 1/1 becomes 3/1 at least and if you summon 2/1 imps on the spell it makes sense they do trigger at the same time since then the cards have synergy with themselves and MAKE SENSE but such effects were removed from the game when kobolds came out (example: when you Call to Arms a Wild Pyromancer it doesn't trigger it's effect).

    every "invoke galakarond" reads "use galakarond's hero power" as well so every card gets a bonus..

    that means rogue got a way to generate waaay more lackeys.

    priest gets a lot of random priest minions (goes well with Princess Talanji)

    and warlock gets a ton of imps.. guess Rafaam's Scheme was indeed imp focused after all.

     

    Minions with 'Battlecry: invoke' will be summoned onto the field before their battlecry, thus invoke effect, is triggered. That's not analogous to the interaction between Call to arms and Pyro at all. Dragonblight Cultist should become a 3/1 if you play him in a Galakrond (warlock) deck.

     

    As for spells, the invoke should occur simultaneously unless the card specifically states otherwise. I assume the designers were smart enough to design around this though, given that these are all cards from the same set. I doubt they'd print something as obviously counter-synergistic as a hellfire with Invoke for warlock, say.

    And one damage control apology that didn't apologize for anything.

  • [Game] Name another card that has the same...

    Mecha'thun

    Alternate winning condition.

  • Reno Quest Shaman

    Isn't quest + Brann overkill ?

  • New Battle.net App Beta - New UI, Hiding Games, More Game News

    I only play HS. All I use the app for is to launch HS. 

    It is surprisingly unintuitive where this option is. There are a lot of menus and dropdowns to click around on.

    The only thing I ever change, when clicking the launch/play button, is the region dropdown. They've put that 3 clicks away.

    So, yes, it looks prettier, but for my particular use case, it is a step back.

     

    Still, it is beta, so things can change :)

  • Hearthstone Global Finals Results & Decklists

    How does this work in relation to relegation in Grand Master? I'd love to see a strong female player (esp after how badly pathra performed) in gm!
