I am "hunting" achievements at the moment, but it seems nearly impossible to get the C`Thun achievement, because most of the enemies will hurt themselfs with some AOE or hero attacks.

Any suggestions how to get this achievement?

I was sitting at D5 waiting for MDF to drop. Once it hit I tried a number of decks some just updated with a few of the new cards and some completely new creations using the new set. After quite a few runs and a lot of frustration I went back to the tried and true DH Soul Frag deck. The only card in this deck from the current expansion is the Bladed Lady which essentially took the place of the Glaivebound Adept. I also dropped the Wandmakers from the original list which ran just 1 Glaivebound Adept and 1 Consume Magic. I managed a 72% WR from D5 no stars to Legend in one run on the eve of the 30th (phew, cut it close).

Hi all,

I was curious to know with all the hate directed at Blizzard right now if anyone else is feeling guilty for continuing to enjoy the game?

I'm in a constant state of 'oh god this game is too expensive' and 'I wish I could play x deck but can't due to not owning the right cards' while also really enjoying the decks I can craft.

Is it just me who constantly has this moral dilemma? Should I be this stressed about a game? 

Rog

I just need one win to finish this damned quest.  I don't really play ladder and I can't find a list of the top decks on this site.

Thanks

"Wow, you're on that one still?" A direct quote from my 5 year old daughter after looking over my shoulder and seeing I was still on level 25.

Over the last 8 days I tracked my xp gained per game, which was annoying because they don't just tell you after the match what a single game is worth. I, unfortunately, didnt time said matches because... lazy, but longer games are worth more win or lose. 

Ranked standard: 64.5 avg xp per win, 48.2 avg xp per loss.

Casual standard is less, but I didn't play enough games to conclude how much. Looks like about 20 xp per game less. 

Tavern brawls look to reward about the same as casual games. 

Arena xp is about the sames as ranked, but again, not many games. 

I reroll every 800 xp daily. Over the 8 days I was offered 5 800s, one of which rerolled to a 1000. So I completed 4 1000s, and 4 800s.

I completed 4 achievements for 500 xp. 

Weeklys for 6000xp.

I think I earned 17753xp for the 8 days and went from level 21 to level 26.

I guess the ranked numbers are about the only thing worth much, and I tracked all this just so I know. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle! 

Also, I've been playing that jank to get the Yogg wheel achievement... 4/6 results and I still need to spin it to win a game. Yogg sucks. 

Doing pretty good with this Quest Paladin with N'zoth and Y'shaarj. 

If you wanna fit a card in you can take out Candletaker

I don't know what is going on but the game is constantly disconnecting me whenever i finish a game. My internet connection is perfectly fine. Absolutely no issues while navigating or playing other games. The weird thing is that it always happens at the end of a game when an achievement pops up. This pattern has repeated several times. Whenever a game ends and an achievement is earned i am disconnected from the game. This is really pissing me off. I'm trying to finish one weekly quest and the game keeps kicking me out of it. I keep having to reload the game after every other match. I suspect that the client does this just to update the achievement tracker or whatever. Is anyone else going through a similar issue? I really needed to speak. My nerves are bursting because of this right now. 

I recently made a thread about an oh my yogg interaction that would have won me the game from being played against my opponent on turn 7(it turned commencement into wisps of the old gods and somehow filled by board with 5/5s) but there have been other cases where it did complete chaos the card is bugged. Unless you want your opponent to win the game over this please don't play the card.

Many such cases. Do not play the card until blizzard decides to come back from being AFK and fix their game. but if you're playing against a paladin wait for a 7 mana spell to play against oh my yogg because it seems pretty common that you'll get wisps of the old gods and a board full of 5/5s

Hey Folks, the hysteria over the cost of the game is still going strong on Reddit and various other platforms. While I don’t think, that the battle pass itself is a major issue, I agree that the lack of transparency and the cost of the game in general is. 

I’m personally fine with paying around 300€ a year for the game I love and spend more time on than Netflix and Spotify combined. But the many discussions got me thinking about different ways for blizzard to make money with Hearthstone. So here, for discussions sake, a economy system proposition. 

A perfect economy would imo be, were F2P complete a set before the next expansions drops. People that spend money, get a head start that is larger or smaller, depending on the money invested. With 80€/$, you should definitely unlock 95% of an expansion right away. Extra resources, these players accumulate over the 3 following months, can be invested into cosmetics of all different sorts or content of older sets.

So far, so easy. But I guess the revenue for Blizzard would be to low since once you got a stock of Resources, you can get you head start for free every following expansion. My solution: Cards of the newest expansion aren’t purchasable with gold, nor are they craftable with dust from previous expansions. The newest expansion should have a completely separate economy. This obviously requires a VERY generous system that allows F2P players to accumulate a lot of cards on the first days-weeks. And as I said, at the end of an expansion everyone should have completed the set. This system would have a couple major advantages:

- F2P can keep up with the game (even though they miss out on the fun of week one - but that’s mostly the case already)

- The focus is brought back to “collectible” card game. You slowly complete your collection through the months and don’t just buy day 1 and start saving for the next expansion again.

- People don’t have the incentive to dust old and niche cards, that might become meta in the future or relevant in other game modes.

- People are more limited in what they can play. This one is bitter sweet, I know. But it could result in a much longer lasting variety and prevent the meta from settling down to quickly... on the cost of the first month being P2W. Witch is acceptable imo, since F2P should catch up rather quickly.

- New players can slowly catch up since they don’t need to collect cards of multiple sets simultaneously. After one year at most, they should be on par with everyone else.

- A separate economy for the newest set would allow blizzard to lower the price of older expansions by a lot since people can’t take advantage of that so easily and can’t convert purchased resources into new cards.

Tl;dr: Everyone gets a full collection over time but you have to pay to access the cards early on. The additional resources you accumulate over the course of an expansion can be invested into older expansions or cosmetics but not saved for future expansions.

Disclaimer: I haven’t taken the time to think this 100% through since I doubt it having any relevance. There are certainly some flaws with such a system that I didn’t think about. The current currencies would probably need a complete overhaul.

Do you think, such a system would hurt blizzards revenue?

Anyone else tired of all the updates that are going lately?  I swear, dive Brodie left I am noticing more and more issues with every release in both nerfs and updates because of connection issues and bugs. 

I have been dropped from an unbelievable number of games in the past week and I can getting roped in my games because of reconnection. Has anyone else been experiencing this as well? What are you doing about it?

Can someone explain why i get a full board of 5/5s after oh my yogg turns my commencement into wisps of the old gods??

Just today I´ve realized during our Achivement hunt, that our 10%, 15% and 20% boost applies to these achievements too. Just now I´ve completed Tent out of Tent and got 230 XP (I have 15% bonus). So that makes me think that it´s a good idea to claim your XP for these achievements AFTER you reach LVL 35 where you get 20% XP boost to them. Not much, but still something. So right now I´m hoarding my 500 XP achievements without opening/claiming them, so I can collect more XP after LVL 35.

Sorry if this is a known thing, but maybe it helps those like me who didn´t have a clue :)

Bug Fixes

Hearthstone

• Fixed an error with collection imports through Hearthstone Deck Tracker plugin.
  • You will not need to update your plugin, this was a server-side issue.

The meta right now is Face Hunter, Evolve Shaman, Aggro Demon Hunter (is there another kind?), Totem Shaman, "Enhancement" (Face) Shaman, "Soul" Demon Hunter (uh, be real and just call it Face DH), Highlander Hunter, Silver Hand Paladin (board flood).....and Pure Paladin. 

Every single one of those decks is ultra aggro/face with the exception of the Paladin decks, which are aggressive midrange. I don't know of a single viable control deck right now. Druid's trying to make big clowns but that deck's gotta be getting wrecked by these face decks. Same thing with any controlling Warrior, Priest or Mage. If you look at Tiers 3 and 4 on HSReplay you'll see all the control decks. Tiers 1 and 2 are all aggro with a few midrange decks in the bottom half of Tier 2, and Paladin.

I first discovered Hearthstone during the Kobold and Catacombs meta, which was very controlling. It was all the great control decks and epic games you could have with them that made me fall in love with the game. I feel like we're as far as can be from that. There's a lot of talk about Blizzard's business practices and the restrictiveness of the the new rewards track. I'm on board with most of that but the lack of control decks is a much bigger problem for me than any of that. Anyone having the same experience? I've been willing to pay for Hearthstone. I'd love to pay less and all that, but if I buy in and all I can do is a) play an aggro/face deck, b) play Pure Paladin, or c) play the kind of control deck that I love and feel impotent as aggro rushes me down....then...I hate to say it but what am I doing here?

In fact I can't even play a control deck that I enjoy because I enjoy playing good control decks that have a decent chance to at least win over 50% of their games. There's not a single one right now. Not one. 

Demon Hunter has obviously pushed the game in an aggro direction. They said they didn't want to print more charge cards, yet they flood DH with powerful damage from hand every expansion. What is that if not charge??? They give hunter meme deathrattle cards and meta-defining face cards like Toxic Reinforcements. They pushed Shaman towards aggro with this expansion. They gave Zoo Warlock powerful tools like Revenant Rascal and Wriggling Horror. They even gave Paladin an aggro deck with all the silver hand cards!

Meanwhile what did control players get to work with? Tickatus? Control Warlock isn't even in the meta as far as I can see. Warrior got control tools right? Nope. The menagerie stuff is all oriented to aggressive midrange lists. Only Priest got some decent control tools. But they're not enough to make the deck even Tier 2. Maybe Big Priest can just eke out a 50% winrate.

I was actually kinda hoping this meta would slow down due to the old gods and the corrupt mechanic but it's actually worse than ever!! So what it is going on? Why is control being squeezed out? Because the people shouting on Reddit are mostly F2P aggro players and Blizzard thinks everyone hates control? Because they did market research and found out most players don't have the attention span for control? Because they made some toxic control decks that took too long to lose to like Quest Priest and now they're playing it safe by letting every lose quickly to aggro...so that they can lose quickly to aggro again or just play aggro? Because only whales play control decks and most people that play the game just have one cheap aggro deck that they can run?

I need answers. If the game is going to be like this from now on then, all theatrics and denunciations aside, this is just not Hearthstone anymore. Not for me and players like me. I'm not an aggro player. I'm not into rushing face damage and flooding boards. I'm into reacting and carefully executing my plan. I'm into cool combos and synergies and fun interactions. I'm into mid-length games and the occasional long game, not races. I'm into epic, awesome, control matches. That's my thing. Is it just me? Has the game and the community left me behind? If Hearthstone is all about aggression now and control is a thing of the past someone please let me know and at least put me out of my misery!

I've put together a collection of all secret cards in the game in one easy place to check if you're not sure what your opponent may have played or otherwise. There's a total of four classes in the game that have secret cards, and they will be presented here alphabetically, and with standard cards separate. Up to date as of Rise of Shadows.

If you are new to the game, we also have some guides on basic class cards along with some lore that everyone may enjoy here.

This subject is serious : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8FIefv8API&ab_channel=MarkMcKz

Is it just me or does it seem like "Finish an Arena run with 4 or more wins." and "Finish in Top 2 in Battlegrounds." has a much higher chance to appear?

This is my third time rerolling those today and the third time they've rerolled into each other.

OK, so like others who have tried to assess how the new Rewards Track compares to the old system, I assumed that completing the Weekly Quests would be a done deal, even while acknowledging that non-ranked players would be missing out on a chunk of XP. Well it turns out even ranked players could be disadvantaged too. Last week, I missed one weekly quest because I was constantly re-rolling quests that involved winning in other game modes; the 2nd weekly quest I completed involved a helluva lot of grinding (spend 500 mana).

This goes against Blizzard's promise that we'd be able to get a similar level of rewards for the same play pattern. Already playing to win 7 ranked games a week was going out of my usual play pattern, but now I find it's worse than I thought; I think many of us will be made to spend more time on the game than before. Either weekly quests need to be re-designed, or daily quests need to award more XP so that players can achieve previous level of rewards without weekly quests.

Hello guys! Since a good chunk of the Hearthpwn community is moving here i thought we should continue some of our traditions. In the past few months this thread has received great traction so let's continue it here! The rules are the same, you create a custom hearthstone card with the art and specifications the previous post on the thread gave and then you post your own art and specifications and wait for the next user to create your card.

Example art: 

And the card:

Use my example art to make a neutral card. Have fun!

As the title says, it occurs to me, while i am having very much fun during the games of heroic duels, i'm getting no xp on reward track whatsoever.

For me, its a better mode than arena, you have bigger control over what your deck strategy would like to be, meanwhile you can achieve the same rewards. I think its easier to reach the minimum 4-5 wins per run, than arena, so one could say, it is more profitable mode. And much more exciting!

The cherry on the top would be that, while you having a good time, getting extra gold from the runs, you collecting that sweet experience, which is well desired to reach new reward track levels. But that on heroic duels mode just simply doesnt happen. I checked- playing battlegrounds and ranked counts instantly, even simple duel counts. However despite the fact i spent 2-3 hours dueling in heroic, i didnt get a singe xp.

What do you think? It is intentional, and its because you shouldnt get that many rewards from a single mode, or its clearly a bug, and players should be compensated?

Libram Paladin is running wild and there is no viable silence card in Standard. Owl is trash for 3 mana, the new neutral deathrattle silence minion sucks even more and Spellbreaker went into Wild.

It is time that Owl got a rebuff to 2 mana or got at least some extra stats.

Hello,

I was looking for duels decks and I found your website. I used to use hearthpwn and I am looking forward to getting familiar with out of cards!

My first issue is that I am using the out of cards plugin for HDT. In HS, it says that my card collection is syncing, yet I still cannot see how much dust each deck will cost me.

My second issue is a request - we can filter by just about anything we want except for our hero power and maybe also our desired treasure. If I know I want to use a particular hero power, I would love an option to filter by a class/hero power combination so I can see all decks that support my desired hero power. How hard would this be to implement? The hero power is most important, but the treasure would be nice if that is possible too!

Competition Theme: Old Gods, New Tricks

Quick, the Old Gods are coming! We'd best design a card to appease them...

• You must create a Class minion with the Corrupt mechanic
  • Thankfully, Y'Shaarj isn't too picky - we don't mind if you leave out the Corrupted version of the card, given how tricky it might be to find appropriate art
• Your minion must be of a minion type not typically associated with your Class
  • We need to make sure N'Zoth has enough fuel! Here's a list of the minion types we think are normally associated with each class:
    • Show Spoiler

      • Demon Hunter - Demons
      • Druid - Beasts
      • Hunter - Beasts, Mechs
      • Mage - Mechs, Elementals, Dragons
      • Paladin - Mechs, Murlocs, Dragons
      • Priest - Elementals, Dragons
      • Rogue - Pirates
      • Shaman - Elementals, Murlocs, Totems
      • Warlock - Demons
      • Warrior - Mechs, Pirates, Dragons

MathU and grumpymonk both gave us some great options for the competition this week, so we combined them into one Old God celebrating theme!

As always, I can be reached through Discord or here on the site via PM if you have any issues to report.

Are games with a hero in the brawl no longer valid for daily quests (like play 3 games with hunter)?
