  • Hearthstone Player count?

    Generally speaking, most companies keep their active player count private. You can check the estimated downloads and revenue per month for free on the Sensor Tower site, which currently states that the mobile app has: 

    iOS downloads 200K (last month)
    Android downloads 500K (last month)

    This data is still very raw, since you dont get any info on the Windows  & Mac Downloads, but MOST importantly you cant get the player retention metrics for free. (retention is basically how many of the downloads on day 1 are active on days 3, 7, 15, 30 etc.) 

    I think the Sensortower or AppAnnie premium accounts might have info on the currently active accounts on iOS and android.

  • Hearthstone Player count?

    Streamers leaving the game feels bad but i can‘t blame them. Imagine playing against warriors 6-10h a day, 7 days a week. I think it‘s a fact that viewership and content production has passed it‘s peak. But:

    Names like Kibler or Kripparian won‘t leave us soon. They treat HS like a 9 til 5 job and do pretty well with that.

    Some smaller names got big in the last couple months/years aswell. Amaz got replaced by Thijs, Savjz by RegisKilbin etc. 

    What i‘m trying to say, is that HS has passed the test of time imo. As it stands, HS remains fun and interesting for many people. 

    To the numbers, there are monthly well over 10k people getting legend on EU Servers. Another couple thousend in wild mode. That’s below 1% of the playerbase. This means, there are at least a couple million players active in EU. I would estimate roughly 10-20 Million active and semi active players world wide. In any case, HS is still going strong and definitly here to stay.

  • Do Nothing Priest

    I don not have Phaoris and I am not sure if I want to spend dust on him. What do you suggest as a replacement?

  • Hearthstone Player count?

    Well, the number of *active* players is certainly not 100M. Those are just the accounts that unlocked HS.

    It is debatable *how* we would define those "active players", but even then i bet they will never share that number.

    We could think a good index is the HSReplay data, the number of players who share data, and the number of games. Those are definitely a percentage of the active players.

    Ultimately, HS is bound to slowly drop its playerbase, but that doesn't mean the game is dieing: it's just ageing, slowly enough for you to get tired of it before it actually collapses.

  • 11-Win Secret Highlander Hunter

    I played a similar version of this Highlander Secret Hunter deck, I liked it a lot and I may make my own guide on it, but for now, I hope you can appreciate some gameplay of this solid deck on the good guide.

  • Hearthstone Player count?

    Hello fellow OOC People Sirkartoffel here.

    I have been playing the game since Nax and I am enjoying what the team is doing at the moment with the last 2 expansions. The game is becoming fun again and I am able to climb to the ranks between 4-2 each month now. 

    here is my question: "Does any body know how many players there are in Hearthstone right now (August 2019)?"

    I am curious because I have begun to see more streamers leave Hearthstone and venture to other games (LoL Autochess as an example).

    I have looked online and the only number I could find was 100 Million back in November of 2018. 

    Do you think that the number is increasing? or do you feel like Hearthstone is not releasing any numbers to hide something (or nothing at all) from us?

    It would sadden me to see Hearthstone's player base dropping as I really do love this game. 

    Thanks guys,

    *disclaimer I and quite new to posting forums so I don't know if this is a repeated post, also the question is just for my curiosity :)

  • Highlander Face Hunter is Rediculous

    I've had a lot of fun with Highlander Hunter too, my deck has a smaller mech package and more spells but they're a blast to play. It can pretty much out-tempo any deck. It seems to play with more decision-making than the typical play-on-curve hunter game-plans I'm used to hating haha.

  • Untapped Potential of the Half-Highlander

    Ya, agreed, now that the control warrior list has settled the matchup became much much harder. The few games against control warrior I do win make me feel like I just got lucky

  • What is your favorite non-legendary card from SoU?

    Quote From ARES

    Lots I haven't tested yet but so far the Scarlet Webweaver has been amazing..  honorable mention for Pressure Plate cause it got me out of a few sticky situations.

    Yeah, I still need to remember that Pressure Plate is a thing and try to play around it.

  • Untapped Potential of the Half-Highlander

    still, control warrior destroys this deck hard enough it has to adapt against it, weakening the other matchups

  • Raid the Sky Temple

    When I first saw the card, I remember thinking that Reno looked like he was carrying an armful of baguettes instead of scrolls lol

  • Twitch Drops Return to Hearthstone for Masters Tour Seoul - 2 Uldum Packs!

    I wasn't able to watch the last time they had an event like this, so I used the strategy you suggest.  I ended up only getting one of the two packs.  YMMV, but it's probably still worth trying.

  • [SOU] Overload Shaman

    No Doomhammer? More than a source of overload, it allows you keep your board alive and gives you the potential for big finishing lethal with Rockbiter Weapon

  • Daily Quest Bug?

    I had some time on my hands, so I was like

    “I am reaching out to you, since the launch of the new expansion, everyday I have been missing my daily quests. I am very excited about experiencing the new expansion and completing my daily quests. It is a shame for me not to be excited to log in like I use too. I hope you guys would be able to take care of me,( packs/gold) for I have been a loyal customer for awhile and I would hate to have to think twice about your support. Thank you.”

    They were like

    “Greetings! Thank you for reaching out to us about the missing quest in Hearthstone. Our Developers are aware of the issue and are working on a fix that will let quests begin populating normally again. Customer Support is unable to modify the quest log or take any action related to the missing quest. At this time we do not have an ETA, but we appreciate your patience and apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your time.”

    But I’m like “ stop playing wit me”

    Anyway things happen so I just hope they hook it up ya know what I mean?

    Hard to pick, but I'll go with Flame Ward for opening up so many options for Secret mage.

    And being so hard to play around to

    It's not hard to play around.  People just straight up don't play around it.  We've never had a mage secret that AOEs the board so they don't think of it.  It's the same deal with pressure plate

    You may be right on this one, we may all just need a bit of training to make it as predictable as any other secret. I was saying hard to play around as in, usually, you would test the water deploying a cheap minion 1st, then a cheap spell, and so on until you are confident you can make your move. We will get better at it, or maybe just I need to get used to it

    I think the main reason people play hard into Flame Ward is that people are just trained to check for Vaporize first by hitting with a small minion and Flame Ward is kinda checked the opposite way.

    Oasis Surger, because it single-handedly swings the game back in Quest Druid's favor after those slow early turns. 

    Frightened Flunky is such a good two-drop for Warrior, and the flavor and voice lines are hilarious.

    Hunter's Pack is great too. Gives great value considering Hunter has so many good cards right now.

  • Knee-jerk reaction to day one ladder (SoU)

    I'm mostly playing Quest Druid, which is a lot of fun. My matches against Quest Shamans are some insane value fiestas. My matches with them usually take 20 minutes, with a coin flip result every time due to the Shaman deck's near-infinite value generation and the Druid deck's overpowered cards once the quest is completed. 

    Highlander Hunter is pretty strong, too. The class just has a lot of powerful cards that you can run as a one-of. A more refined list will probably make it one of the dominant forces in the meta.
