Hey

I am really bored with Highlander Hunter. Quest Paladin is fun but I lose most games so the fun wore off pretty quick.

There are a few decks that run Leeroy Jenkins that I have been looking at. 1600 is a lot of dust for me so I wanted to get your opinions on if it is worth getting.

Any thoughts?

It's that time. The meta is far from settled, there will likely be no actual nerfs for weeks, but salt is in the air. What nerfs would you like to see at this overly premature time?

Here's my top 5. Feel free to disagree or add your own:

Paladin: Tip the Scales: Summon 7 Murlocs from your deck. Cost cannot be lowered.

Paladin: Emperor Wraps: Summon a 2/2 copy of a friendly Reborn minion.

Druid: Ossirian Tear: Passive Hero Power Your Choose One cards have both effects combined this turn. (Cost 2 mana)

Shaman: Heart of Vir'naal: Your next Battlecry triggers twice this turn. (cost lowered to 1)

Warrior: Dr. Boom, Mad Genius: Battlecry: For the rest of the game, your Mechs have Rush.

I'm wondering if anyone has taken the "Do the Math" option in Bob's Bazaar, and whether it actually worked out. I can't imagine a deck where you would want to ditch all your 1 and 2 cost cards. Is there a specific strategy someone has found where this is even remotely worthwhile? Sure, in the late game, you usually hate to draw cheap stuff, but just removing it from the deck entirely? When victory against the AI is so often dependent on a good early game? I'm dubious, but honestly curious to hear if anyone has gotten some value out of it.

I got the most incredibly overpowered combination of passives for this run, using Sir Finley. Here they are:

--Ring that makes all your 0,1,2-cost minions have poisonous (Edit: It's called "Band of Bees")

--Rocket Boots - All your minions have rush

This combination makes your hero power read "Kill any minion for 2 mana, as long it doesn't have divine shield."

Easily defeated the Plague Lord on the first try with this combination (and of course I chose my buckets for the poisonous keyword all throughout the run).

It was pretty stinking awesome. One of the highlights of the expac for me so far.

When I played him just now, only 1 card showed up each time I had to "guess" which card he was about to play. For each turn. Which meant he wasn't able to play a single card before he died at turn 7.

Seems like a bug (and a pretty big one since it meant effectively an auto-victory for me) so curious if that happened to others as well?

My heart is always with AOE2. However, after a long year passed, we can finally play this game on Steam next month. Are you hyped for AOE1? Feel free to share your thoughts.

Hey, sorry if this is not the place to do this. 

Im looking to add people since most of the time I dont have people to spectate for quest or to complete the 80g. My battletag is Engineer8#1978 on NA.

Cheers!

So I've been trying to make Jr. Tomb Diver work in heroic, but so far I've been unsuccesful both due to not getting any secrets in my buckets and relatively weak decks. I got Advanced Targeting Monocle a couple times now and based on the wording, it should work with Jr. Tomb Diver, but I haven't been able to test it unfortunately (I have never been able to draw or play both cards before I won or lost). However, I thought the same thing of Mysterious Tome, but I was able to confirm that it does not count towards jr. tomb diver's requirement.

So before I choose Advanced Targeting Monocle again and get disappointed after it turns it doesn't work with Jr. Tomb Diver, have any of you been able to confirm how this interaction works?

With SoU bringing back so many key characters from WoW I expected at least some special dialogues.

It's kinda disappointing that nothing happens between two on-board Branns or Reno or between the Elise hero and any of the now numerous Elises (seriously - this is getting out of hand).

And these are just the obvious ones - nothing like "You'll pay! For Rhonin!" where you'd have to know the lore to get it. 

Now I understand mobile storage is limited and also something about indie company but what in your opinion should've been some catchphrases ? 

Hey everyone! Like a lot of you I switched to this site when I first heard about the split.

On occasion I would still check out hearth pwn to see how it was doing. After awhile, when I would go there on mobile, I would almost always get redirected by some spam pop-up thing where I would be on a new page saying ive won something. I cant even click back to return to where I was. This happens almost everytime I go there and eventually I just stopped trying. Never had a problem like that on this site!

This happen to anyone else? 

Hey guys,

I have a repeating issue and was wandering if anyone knows about a possible fix...

Each time they release an update or patch all the assets, golden animation and sounds, disappear. Its a real pain to download all of it over and over again.

I play on mobile, iPhone. 

Thanks. 

now some of you might have already discovered this, but for those of you who haven't

DO NOT CONCCEDE ON THE FINAL BOSSES. THEY WILL NOT RETAIN THEIR HEALTH IF YOU DO

I had to learn this the hard way when i brought one to 1 HP on Heroic, planning to finish him off later with Finley...but when i conceded he just went back to 192.

if you want to soften up a boss to finish him with a different hero....well you better kill yourself

EDIT: nvm, it's actually just f**ing bugged. It doesn't matter whether you concede or get killed (or you the Hearthstone). my boss is just stuck at 192 HP permanently now for no reason. Small indie company indeed

EDIT 2: checked the forums, it's only affecting the second plague lord and it's apparently fucked on a deeper level as it will not only forget damage taken but also sometimes create random HP numbers. Only way to beat it currently seems to be oneshotting it. Hopefully they'll hotfix it.

DON'T TRY TO PLAY CHAPTER TWO. YOU'LL WASTE YOUR TIME

EDIT 3: As of today the issue was fixed with a patch. Everything should work fine now.

I usually build a basic frame around ideas I get then ask the people for options to test.. 

This time it's a blank page and a challenge: build a quest hunter deck trying to get as many Queen Carnassa as possible. Minimum of 3 and you don't even have to play them all- just get a lot.

Little tip: Zul'jin replays The Marsh Queen  

After testing the vault quest I realised it's not as exciting as paying a 5 mana 8/8 and seeing the raptors rush to your deck.

Excited to see if anything good pops up.. I got a deck but Ill share later.

I can't say that I'm a deep player of cards games, but since I started Hearthstone I give a chance to few games. The game that actually most suprise me was Krosmaga . The first impression of the game seems like a more complex game than Hearthstone, but actually after few matches I could understood the game dynamic (of course not all the combos).

• The basic gameplay is far from Hearthstone. Each player has 5 Dofus divided in 5 lines, composed by 7 tiles. In order to win you need to destroy 2 real Dofus (2 of 5 are fake ones). The minions summoned move through a single line at the end of the player turns, based on movement value. In movement phase, if 2 minions face adyacent tiles the fight happen in a similar way to Hearthstone (but you can't decide if not attack). 
• There are 10 different classes. The game do not have anything similar to a Hero Power, so the class is defined purely by the cards. Classes have keywords or mechanics linked to them, so there is not the feeling that all classes do the same. On the other hand this causes some valance isues.
• The gold can be obtained by quests or wining (also by achievements). On interesting thing is that there are packs that includes (at least) one legendary so you can decide if going for legendaries or get bigger collection (are more expensive than the normal ones, but not super expensive, like 5::1).
• Decks are 45 cards.
• I would expected that the queues to play were longet. Of course there are less players than hearthstone, but most of the time seems that find a match is not a problem.

I would recommend this game, but there are 2 mayor issues to consider. The development of the game is in "stand-by" so there is not new content at this moment (for what I know). Also this affect to the balance of the game.

So, any thoughts about it?

New game launched yesterday. Seems to have great reviews. Anybody here tried it?

So I'm going to be playing Classic WoW as a priest with 4 other friends being Alliance side and on a PVP server.
I've played multiple private realms so I know what I'm in for with classic.

I have a raiding background but I'm not going to be spending enough time to be doing any top tier raiding.
I'm planning to do PVP, run high-level dungeon content and some minor raiding.

I'm pretty torn between whether to play Human or Nightelf 
My argument for Night Elf is that some of the players in my group haven't played since Cata or have only ever played for a short time, they get the general hang of it but there will most likely be some accidental pulls here and there.
I want to be ready for any possible wipes with Meld and ress,wether out in the world or in the dungeons.

For Human I like their tasty 5% spirit, desperate payer is sweet too - but I really don't want to be kicking myself every time we have to do a run back to our corpses.

Let me know what you think :)

We do not have a Wild meta report yet, but we know SoU has carried many important cards for Wild meta.

So I'd like to have a discussion, according to your experience, about how you feel the meta has shaped or is still shaping, whether you think there are some critical decks now that might warp the meta or if everything will settle to Wild balance, eventually.

I bet we have all faced Secret Mages, and their unprecedented ability to deal both burn and board damage, while Even Shamans had their totemic synergy improved.

Many players started experimenting again with Highlander decks, while many others decided to complete the new Quests in Wild. Including at high ranks.

But what is the real powerlevel of all these new experimentations in the meta? Are Quests and Highlanders going to survive the meta? Is Secret Mage bound to be a meta tyrant?

What is your Wild Ranked experience after SoU?

I know fans of the series are up in arms about the recent changes coming in with the blessing that is a console core installation of PokeMon. That being said, here's my take on things.

• The game looks gorgeous and I'm incredibly excited to enjoy both tall grass and wandering encounters. I think both means of engaging wild PokéMon have a place in the main series and offer a better overall experience regarding immersion (much more than past titles).
• The new mechanic - Dynamax - is a silly gimmick that forgoes the complexity and openness that Mega Evolution brought in X/Y. Mega PokéMon were and still are the best mechanic to enter the series, transforming average or even "bad" monsters to competitive tanks and sweepers. I mean, it made Beedrill a terrifying force to be reckoned with! Even Z-moves were more inventive, although they catered to the competitive tournament aspect of the game more than Megas ever did imo. Dynamax fails to bring anything unique to the series other than the opportunity to engage in raid battles (which didn't need Dynamax to come to fruition). They're just big, which means they're stronger. How revolutionary. Kappa
• The absence of the National Dex feels very bad to a lifetime fan and player such as myself, but I wouldn't skip this game for it. The National Dex is something I've worked very hard on completing in every generation (I'm currently only missing a couple event legendaries like Marshadow!) and it feels strange and wrong to think of my hard-trained and collected PokéMon being cherry-picked for admission into the new generation. That being said, I do not think this will ruin the game. Nintendo and GameFreak could always see their fan base calling out for a full National Dex and bring the new character models in with a patch (why not exclude the non-Galar PokéMon from Dynamax effects to save space and development time?), but I can't say I 100% expect it. Given the increasing file size of each PokéMon and the sheer volume of monsters we now have, it's entirely reasonable for Nintendo to consider limiting how many PokéMon appear in each game. I want the National Dex as badly as the next trainer, but I'm not going to roast Nintendo and GameFreak for a Dex we have no information on regarding its size. Chill out and let's get some more information before we all flip our lids.
• The new PokéMon designs look fantastic and I can't wait to see the rest (yes, even the moronic-looking Impidimp is fine imo. Just like in nature, not every creature is going to thrill, impress, or draw you in to love it, and that's fine).
• I hope this generation gives us some real old-school challenges like Whitney's Miltank from Gold/Silver, something that just utterly steamrolls you the first time and makes you reconsider your team and battle plan. The games have felt very easy in the story with the Battle Trees and the like suddenly ramping up in difficulty.

What did you think?

Hi,

does anyone know if there is a bonus to get offered a bucket again, if you pick it? I feel that there are a lot of buckets that, whenever I try to go for them, I just don´t get offered them again and it is completely worthless. Like Kingsbane bucket, Cthun, and so on - they don´t mesh well with anything else, and you kind of pick them dreaming of the perfect insane theme deck, but it very rarely seems to comes together for me.

Also, how do you approach those kind of buckets? Do you like to try to go for them sometimes, or do you just pick solid ones that are easy to combine with other random stuff? 

I´m asking for Tombs of Terror, but I am sure it is the same as the Great Dalaran Heist. And I generally play on the difficult mode, which is something to keep in mind. 

Just thought I would post this for fun and to help out if anyone finds themselves annoyed with the final Murlock Boss. He has 300 health and you can technically go back and fight him over and over until you beat him but I got incredibly lucky with my Treasures on my first attempt and was able to take him out in one shot. The key cards were Runaway Gyrocopter as seen in the screen shot below and Titan's Ring (I think that was the name...gives all your minions +1 Health and Taunt). I could have finished the Murlock off many many many turns earlier but I wanted to see his deck and if he had anything unique in it other than "Fill my board with Murlocks every turn.". Turns out...he doesn't. lol. But yeah, if you get the Runaway Gyrocopter as a Treasure option take it, as it is invaluable on the final boss as it overs consistent non-stop board clears.

Take care.

Hey there, fellow members of OoC. I am Esparanta, an avid Wild deckbuilder who loves to try different shenanigans and tinker exotic decks. Recently, I created some decks under the name of "Out of Budget" and the rules are:

• Create a deck consisting of only Free/Common/Rare cards. No Epic/Legendary cards are allowed.
• Don't try to add freebie Epic/Legendary cards (Looking at you, Archmage Vargoth/SN1P-SN4P). If you do, just mention your freebie Epic/Legendary cards within guide.

This thread is to encourage you for creating budget decks that are as valid/solid as expensive competitive/casual decks. So, I will start with mine:

What's yours?

If I'm not mistaken, cards on this site used to appear with blank backgrounds behind the card text, and now they correctly show the set icons like the real cards do. I think this is a recent change, and if so, congrats to the crew for the update. Maybe a small thing, but I noticed and I think it improves the look and accuracy of cards.

Just fought the second plague lord for the first time and was almost able to kill him with my 35 attack Phaoris' Blade. Then he played Spreading Madness while he had 3 health and I had 1 (+some big minions on the board). Props to the AI for playing to his outs I guess? lol

Regardless I've been having a lot of fun with the tombs of Terror so far, feel free to share your crazy experiences as well. :)

Is it just me or is the "Reply" button on mobile version of the site (I'm on android) bugged? It always leaves normal comments at the bottom of the thread instead of replying under selected comment. It did it to me twice now and it felt really stupid. It discourages me to reply anymore, is there at least an alternative way of doing it?

Sorry if there was another thread on this issue, I found none yet!

... quite healthy actually. I find myself rather surprised to discover that 6 out of 9 classes have an overall positive winrate (according to hsreplay), and 5 of those 6 are extremely closely matched. And even the three classes that are overall less than 50% winrate still have at least one good deck available that is above 50%. All I can say is that I'm pleasantly surprised.
