If you're getting legitimate stress from the game that is when you should stop, for your own physical & mental health and especially if you have family or roommates that your changed mood can affect. Nobody gets paid for playing this game unless you are a Blizzard employee or a streamer so why should you then get free stress in your life essentially. Come back when you're not stressed.
I downloaded this on Steam yesterday and still haven't gotten around to trying it. I definitely will give it a shot, so thanks for any suggestions anyone has about it. Trading card games can get expensive if you decide to buy things, but free-to-play is always an option if it isn't going to be a main game.
Has anyone been playing Elder Scrolls: Legends with some tips for newbs? I started playing the game last week and haven't decided if I like it or not. I finished the free adventure and played arena quite a few times to get more free stuff. I've also played some ranked games and have gotten to rank 9. After losing a few ranked matches I started searching the web for ideas and / or advice and found the usual things. The only thing is that when I web search for things related to the game the links seem really old. Nobody seems to be talking about the game anymore in the year 2019. I find this sort of weird, given how there is a new expansion coming (or already out?) I think the graphics are kind of lame, so maybe the lack of cosmetics is the cause of the internet's silence?
I think I've got the basic strategies down for playing the game correctly. My problem right now is that I need more knowledge and experience. However, I've got to say that the pre-made newbie decks are pretty effective for playing ranked matches at the lower levels. For now I've decided to just keep using the free stuff to play on ranked because I don't think I could afford to invest money into TWO card games. Also, even though I feel kind of stuck in ranked play, I don't feel like I'm at a serious disadvantage with my decks. I've been losing probably due to lack of experience, given that my opponents don't seem to be all that great yet. I feel like I lose because "oops" more than anything.
So, if anybody has anything to share to help me out with my free-to-play Elder Scrolls: Legends (mis)adventures, I'd be grateful. If you think I should buy something, I don't consider that bad advice, if it's a good buying tip. Still probably won't buy anything, though, for now, but I could think about it and put it off for the future.
Played for 20 games on day 1 between roughly 1-6pm. Good deck. 13-7; a very respectable 65% win rate. C'Thun was only involved in about 3 games. Struggled against evolve/devolve shammy. Had a couple of mirror matches! Go go go Outofcards!!!
I really would want Ol' Barkeye the Hunter Gnoll. Sometimes I just choose hunter for an adventure so I can hear all his interactions, including with the bosses. He just reminds me of my childhood cartoons on Saturday mornings. "Locksed up and loaderted!" I never get tired of saying that.
Tony you have reached an elevated state of Hearthstonery. I only like taking damage when I have the lethal in hand for next turn, or when they hit face while they should have eliminated this minion. I find it impossible to not feel anything when losing. Some losses are worse than others of course. On the other hand, when I win too easily with a deck (I recently won a couple of games very smoothly with some tempo/aggro mage variant) I get bored :)
I am flattered you consider it an elevated state! You could be right. Since I got in this mode I have been taking more risks in my decision making. I'm not sure how long this will last. Maybe it can last forever. I'd feel lucky. Like I said, I think taking more risks is helping me out
Imo aggro decks are actually more interactive. You can interact with the minions on board with minions of your own, aoe or removal, heal to get out of lethal range or race them yourself
What feels less interactive to me personally is playing against say legacy control warrior negating basically every card you play with either removal or boardclears playing scarce minions themselves giving less things to do for the opponent. Decks like these try to keep interaction as minimal as possible. The gameplan is literally to run your opponent out of options without exhausting your own.
I totally agree with #2 though and would like to add fatigue and mill decks to the same category
I 100% agree with the coloring. Dark is great for battery on phones etc. but I have always preferred lighter tones on websites. A lot of people prefer dark mode but not everybody. Best option imo: make it switchable. It's a new standard these days, all big sites have that option now :)
I'm loving this brawl! Really like the ones that involve deck building. Typically I just play one game for the pack as otherwise I find them boring, but this one is awesome. I am already at 14 wins ;)
I remember there was at least few ""Brawl block" ones, where they choose specific expansions - for us to Brawl in. They repeat it every expansion now, but with different sets. Very cool :)
I mostly know the value of each individual card and how they could interact together, but am completely clueless on how many of each type of card should go into a deck, or how to fill a mana curve. For me, HearthArena really helps here. I usually don't ignore any draft advice when it says I "really need an x drop".
That is also one of the things that becomes not entirely accurate with time. It heavilly depends on the meta shaped by the current card pool and then the class you are playing. Some classes in the past literally didnt need any 2-drops for example, when control RNGfiesta was the way to play. HA usually tries to push you towards midrange or tempo deck, which is fine, but you need to assess your own situation and know what archetypes are working for any given class at the moment and decide if it is a right direction to go or not.
Again, for unexperienced arena player, HA is a really amazing tool to help them get more wins fast and to get better, but you shouldnt religiously follow its advice once you get some experience ;-) Not saying HA cant be right most of the time, but you should think of why it appears to be important for your deck to pick the suggested card, not just pick it cause the app said so :)
I think it's a real hassle to enter everything in HA (I play mobile only) so I use it only when I need to re-establish my bearings. Since the rotation I really need it.
Long story short, if you haven't used HA you probably should, even if only to check what all the other people are using.
So earlier this week, I made it to Legend for the first time, and today, I got to play (and beat) Brian Kibler! I am almost embarrassed to admit that I was essentially starstruck. For starters, I am an old school MtG player, so Kibler is basically a living legend in my opinion. It was also the first time I have ever played against (that I know of) one of the Hearthstone pro's.
And, for what it's worth, I did resist the urge to snipe him. I only looked at Twitch after I knew the game was done, just to see if it was actually Kibler.
Even (Anti Big Priest)
Hi,
There is no guide. What makes it anti - Big Priest ? Is it the archetype or his very particular deck ?
Thanks

Fight the System! Biggest Counters to Popular Meta Decks
Nice write up, I have enjoyed playing the
Mecha'thun Warrior!
C'Thun Warlock
Played for 20 games on day 1 between roughly 1-6pm. Good deck. 13-7; a very respectable 65% win rate. C'Thun was only involved in about 3 games. Struggled against evolve/devolve shammy. Had a couple of mirror matches! Go go go Outofcards!!!
which dalaran heist hero would you want as a skin?
I really would want Ol' Barkeye the Hunter Gnoll. Sometimes I just choose hunter for an adventure so I can hear all his interactions, including with the bosses. He just reminds me of my childhood cartoons on Saturday mornings. "Locksed up and loaderted!" I never get tired of saying that.

Nice :)
What is the meaning of interactive deck?

Well... this deck works :)
My ideas to improve this forum,

You can play with the Rastakhan Rumble cards!
what is the funniest flavor text?
Wild Pyromancer

The first time I read it, I fell out of my chair laughing so it's got to be my favorite.

Rush Druid
Need to grind again. Now for operatives and batterheads. Crap. Cous this deck looks awesomely interesting!

Enough with the mechs already!
I am not that opposed to mechs, i just think, not every class should (be able to) utilize every tribe.
Enough with the mechs already!
We really hadn't mechs since GvG, so it's ok to have a peak right now.
I'm really hoping/rooting for a Naga expansion - maybe we get something in that direction because there is the Nazjatar patch in WoW.
