Let's be frank, MTGA is a whole new beast and as such, deserved another OOC entirely for it. Do you guys think you'll ever have men power to launch a robust MTGA Section here? With all it deserves: meta reports, decks, articles, guides, etc? Or is OOC destined to a "mmochampion" fate, to have MMO in the name but be actually a gigantic WoW fan site?
I mean, I love HS, it's my old wife by MTGA is my new 18yo lover so... Thirsty for more!
The forum MTGA section is dead... I wrote 3 posts including a new thread and almost a week later, not a single reply.
Man, Link's Awakening was MY Zelda game growing up. I played the hell out of that, over and over again. It's my hands-down favorite of the series, no question. I can't wait to play the Switch remake!
I haven’t played a proper Pokémon game since Platinum and I am super excited for Sword and Shield. I’ll probably go with the Sword Doggo and I’m hoping to get my brother-in-law to give Shield a try, since he likes Pokémon but hasn’t played the games.
I also loved the Banjo and Kazooie reveal for Smash, though I don’t have the game
I can certainly appreciate for those that worked hard on Hearthpwn sudden changes like this can be emotive. Even those who used it everyday for years are caught up it in to a degree.
But I think a non-affiliated site, built with more freedom both technologically and business politics, much experience and many lessons learnt can be so much better - especially with clear headed persons at the helm and on the crew.
I wish Hearthpwn well as many of us have a soft spot for it but I suspect there will be decline over time whereas this site will go from strength to strength.
If you look at this more logically it doesn't make as much sense to commit to Hearthpwn again. Sure, "new owners" and everything, but how are you, as an everyday user, really going to prevent the new head honchos upstairs from making a similar decision to shutdown or restrict users on the site again in the future? With OoC you have a very active opportunity to support the website's maintenance & direction directly, which means your future here is much more stable than on Hearthpwn.
It will never happen, but it would be cool. Maybe as a reward for completing a character through the five Chapters on Heroic difficulty. Master the class, get the skin.
Wish the hero skin was Mage, Hunter, or Warrior. I already have two alt skins for Shaman. And I’m trying to avoid Shaman as it’s the only class I have my golden hero for. I’m way over the 500 wins for that class and in some I’m only around half way!
With the current Dalaran themed expansion a Mage hero would have been better (like making Khadgar available again...?).
This. I'd love another shot to get Khadgar, Tyrande or even something that has less than 2 skins already. (Pally, Shaman) I'd even take something new and Kirin Tor themed like Rhonin.
Final Fantasy VIII is one of my favorite FFs, so perhaps I need to own it for yet-another system lol.
Between all of the Zelda games, FFVIII, Spyro, and Bayonetta 3 - not to mention what's already out - I'm more than ready to jump aboard the Switch train.
Both, but she's definitely not essential and probably the first to go if you were to sub something in. She puts in work, but the deck will do just fine without her.
I always respected your work, this team is what made Hearthpwn good and the whole thing has been handled very poorly. I think you made the right decision and I wish you best of luck! Long life to Out of Cards!
I wish Blizzard would make the Dalaran Heist hero skins available somehow, for example: If you beat all chapters on heroic with that class, you get the skin or something like that. They already made these amazing alternate heroes, we already payed for the adventure, they should let us get them forever. It is good for the hype too. Just imagine, a new player sees some of these skins and is thinking like 'No way! That is so cool!' It would also keep old players entertained for awhile and it would be special to own these skins. The only reason they can't do it, is that some voice lines are missing (or we don't know about them), for example the lines which only occur when you and your opponent have the same skin and you greet each other.
Unfortunately, I don't think they will do it. What do you guys think?
(I have around 1500 wins with Warlock and I like all the other Warlock 'heroes', but none of them are as good as Gul'dan, except Tekahn! He is just as arrogant and cool as him. His voice lines are just amazing. So tbh, I don't really care about anything else, I just want to greet my opponents with 'You have been noticed.'!)
Nothing gets under my skin like “Whoops!”... well what can I say... I did the best play available to survive one more turn. No need to laugh in my face that it didn’t work
How about: I conceded because I, the Rogue, couldn't do anything more against your Token Druid, and you won fair and square with your cheap Wal-mart deck, yet you cannot resist emoting "Thank you." I swear this thread exists because the majority of Hearthstone players are fake and say "oh, well, you're too salty on the forums" but at the same time they're intent on pissing people off and making them salty in the game with their stupid little emote and roping things so they can continue to criticize saltiness. It's like this big cycle they create. They try to irritate people, the irritated people express their irritation, and then the irritated people are criticized for being irritated.
Sometimes I forget to right-click to squelch but I always regret forgetting. This time I got distracted by my difficult mulligan decision and the resulting garbage returned to me for my starting hand. All the while, thinking through my plan, I forgot to squelch. So I conceded when I was a turn away from death. And I was thanked for losing.
I welcome this, but I sincerely hope that it isn't a replacement for Choose Your Champion. Hopefully the playoffs of the Grandmasters will have some sort of CYC event, as it'd be a real shame to go from 1-4 packs to a guaranteed 2, even though the EV is roughly the same.
Plans to expand on MTGA sections of the site?

HearthPwn stays alive, yet no one actually cares

This is exactly why I held off on buying it. I'm super bumped to play some Spyro again
The Dalaran Heist alternate heroes should be collectible. Change my mind!

I was hoping that Spyro would come to the Switch at the beginning of the year.. so glad that it is

He’s talking about your footnote. It doesn’t stay out that clearly (at least on mobile). Easily confused as a Part of the comment.
