This just occurred to me, but is it possible to put both the original and event version of a card in a Wild deck? For example, if you own the WoG version of N'Zoth, the Corruptor, making a deck with two of them? Or does the game filter that?
I don't have any wild cards, much less the original versions of the temporary cards, so I can't check it myself.
And keep the windows closed, you'll let all the cold air in. Do you know how difficult it is to keep Ragnaros the Firelord as a heater without burning the building down?
Despite this plague of Shamans, I actually really enjoy Doom in the Tomb and the Wild legendaries. It feels like Blizzard is realising that the game gets stale a couple months after a new expansion, so they're starting to introduce new events to keep the player base happy. Rise of Mechs and Doom in the Tomb have both shaken up the meta a good amount, and feel almost like mini-expansions on their own.
On a more controversial note, I am willing to say that the meta currently is probably the most balanced it has been in a long while. While all types of Shaman still reign supreme as the most popular lists across the ladder, many other classes have decks that are at least tier 2 or better (sorry Warlock players, but you had your fun with Cubelock, Evenlock and Heal Zoolock in previous sets).
The treat codes have expired now though. They expired with the patch. I am pretty sure that we won't see those come back, but I am sure we will see new ones in the future.
They are currently also looking for volunteer translators to localize platforms, no money in it but plenty of packs as an award.
But coming back to the new player experience, along with the faction missions and the cards you get for completing story mode plus all the initial elite missions that award wildcards I am comfortable saying that new players will have plenty of cards to try out multiple decks without any financial investment.
Welcome back to Shaman-Fest. Just a reminder that the wildcard event is going to last till the next set is released so it isn't too late to join the parade ; get your tokens & totems out, and overload the ladder like a third of our distinguished guests. Also, lighting and thunder bolts won't be tolerated in the cafeteria and during quiet times. The Festival management team and the Elements thank you for your understanding
Seems odd to have the confidence that the patch will fix all (or almost all) of the problems, but don't have the ability to send the patch out now... if it's not ready, how do you know it will fix all the problems?
Wow, that's a lot of stuff! Thanks for letting me know!
By the looks of it, the end result is quite a bit better than what the promotional codes offer, which I've heard were only a temporary solution before fixing the new player experience. Wonder if those will stick around (maybe make them harder to get).
It's worth noting that this + the 10 packs from the promotional codes + the 20 you get for the 10$ bundle = 57 packs, which is HUGE. That's easily 5 or 6 Mythics on average.
Also didn't know about the prolonged high 5, that's also good. Weird that it wasn't in the patch notes.
First of all thank you OP for the thread. I am afraid Outof.cards is more dead than alive regarding to little response on the forums.
as much as I hate to admit it. I agree that the activity on this site is plummeting. Sometimes one of the threads on the 'recent threads' section will go over a day without getting a post, and there are plenty of threads that don't get responded to at all. Also, most decks on the front page don't get more than a total score of 5, and they usually don't get more than 600 or so views. I hope this site gets bigger when other games start getting more support on the site.
Coming here to complain about Ozara again. Seriously, just remove that dumb fuckface of a boss from Tombs of Terror. This is probably the 5th or 6th time I've had a really fun and good run with a deck well-suited for fighting the plague-lord, only to run into this steaming pile of shit and get steamrolled by 11/7 in stats on turn 1 with partial windfury which does not slow down at all in the turns after. The only way you win against this boss is if you're lucky enough to draw enough cheap minions and/or board clears and that still doesn't guarantee anything. I'm glad Ozara just a horribly designed AI in a videogame so that I can safely say to her face that literally no one anywhere is going to ever want her to be alive.
I'm so glad that in a time where I'm tired of playing online in this game, the singleplayer content forbids me from having fun as well.
I don't think the plain vanilla Evolve Shaman deck is that oppressive. They can high-roll but their start is often slow. I have played that deck and lose to Rogues all the time.
Quest Shaman is different. It's so easy to finish the quest and then the power from double battercries is disgusting. MCTech is the biggest problem; that card must be sent to hell. Desert Hare becoming 5 minions + evolve (following the quest completion) is also insane. 5 four drops for 6 mana?
State of the game on mobile is appalling. Luckily I hit my usual dad legend before these issues began, but I'm not looking forward to trying to climb the ladder at the start of November when this is still a problem. Currently every 4th or 5th game I play freezes.
Fingers crossed that we'll get some compensatory packs...
The faction missions added 54 new "quests" for players that award a total of 27 packs worth of coins, 6 mythic wildcards, and a lot of uncommon and common staples and wildcards. The new player experience went from meh to pretty great with this update.
Basically with the completion of every colour specific questline you get these awards:
6 common wildcards and 6 common staples.
5 uncommon wildcards and 4 uncommon staples.
2 rare wildcards and 1 rare staple.
1 mythic wildcard.
And it is actually fun to complete them (for me at least) and keeps you busy for days, if not weeks.
Increasing High Five missions timer from 12 to 22 hours was pretty good too.
Using both versions of cards
This just occurred to me, but is it possible to put both the original and event version of a card in a Wild deck? For example, if you own the WoG version of N'Zoth, the Corruptor, making a deck with two of them? Or does the game filter that?

Hey Wizards of the Coast reprints older cards into new sets for MtG all the time, no reason Blizzard can't do the same with HS.

I can already imagine a Shuffle Rogue deck where all I do is shuffle Renos the whole game.

Why fixing breaking game bugs anyways... selling packs does work like a charm.

Hearthstone Update Coming to Address Mobile Crashes
As far as i know, it affects android only
Hearthstone Update Coming to Address Mobile Crashes
Do the issues only affect Android devices? I play daily on iOS and have not had any of the issues anyone is describing.
Hearthstone Update Coming to Address Mobile Crashes
In a couple of weeks? This is ridiculous.
Yeah we broke the game already for 3 weeks by not testing it, give us couple more weeks to fix it...
I would expect that they will care about this more since LoR will be also on mobile.
EDIT: How long can this go on?
Hearthstone Update Coming to Address Mobile Crashes
That must've been one hell of a bug if it took so long.
Glad it's going to be fixed. It was about time.
