So I'm gonna take a break from hearthstone constructed. And now you may be wondering "But bagel the Xpac just came out?" And to that, I counter with "Yeah but I have a solid 25 cards from it" Quite frankly had it not been for duels I might have had a bit more but I was 3 epics away from a new treasure so I just bought some SA packs to get it, and now I'm high and dry to get any Darkmoon stuff. And so far from the games I've played in standard, I saw about 3 secret hunters, 2 AGGRO HUNTERS IN STANDARD, and a stealth rouge oh and also a warlock who didn't play any DMF cards except C'thun who he didn't even finish building.

So quite frankly I get it's still new and stuff but I've seen no cards, been beaten up by hunters in standard, and am pretty much broke due to the new reward system, but hey I've got 40 dust from that year of the dragon pack! So while I'm not quitting hearthstone entirely I'm taking a break from standard/ranked/duels whatever needs a collection and just gonna do some battlegrounds every now and then. Because I want my matches to be slightly less decided by rolling a single D20.

I smell something fishy here XD

Yes, I KNOW this is problably just a visual bug, but it gave me a good laugh, so I thought I might share :D (Or Blizz is being serious and I´ll have to play all the 65 Brawl games, guess I´ll find out later today XD)

Have  a nice day all! :)

Does anybody knows if it is possible to do the specific MDF achievements with friends?

Those which give you Xp points, i mean.

Thanks!

I hit my 260/260 hearts today to finish my K/DA rewards. Honestly, I was a little worried at first, but it ended up being not even close -- I have over a week to go and I'm only 9:9 on the epic quest and still had some of the diva-specific 2:2 quests when I completed. I didn't do much to "grind" beyond playing daily for a minimum of 3 games/day and picking certain decks based on my active quests -- not much different from my normal schedule to be honest.

How is everyone else fairing? Anyone worried they won't complete as much as they want by Nov 24?

What the fuck is this crap ? Can remove up to 10 cards with Ysharj, seriously, fire those incompetent devs.

This card alone will destroy any chance to see some controls decks.

Aight so I don't know why this is happening, but I was playing against my friend just to test the new cards before probably leaving the game forever and as a last desert, this happens. . . I was trying a crazy double yogg, cthun shudderwock deck with grumble and all that other stuff that's needed. My friend is on mobile and I'm in pc. When I played shudder after I've played all the key cards, the game stopped and my friend disconnected. He is now telling me his game is in an endless loop that it tries to reconnect, fails and over and over. I thought it's funny until I tried to close the game myself. And I close the game, battlenet and that stuff even with task manager, but when I open the game again it goes straight to that match and it waits for my friend to reconnect.

It's an endless loop and a new bug record for blizz. Anyways, I should not have posted this but thought it is something important. I can update you all with new screenshots later if you want. Now its 12 min waiting lol

Edit, dont know how to upload image    https://ibb.co/5980Lq4     

Simple as that: I wanted to test the new Yogg while playing Duels. Made a deck full of spells, played 10 of them, played Yogg and... nothing happened! Where was not even the wheel "effect" on screen. 

Anyone knowing what's going on? 

This overlay popped up during a Duels run, and the only way I could get rid of it was to restart the Hearthstone client

edit:   Blizzard indicate the are going to replace the last 6 packs with a total of 1350 gold. This means these graphs are not currently accurate. Though I still maintain even level 50 is less gold than just quests in the old system (now 5,450g vs 7260g), and for far more effort.

One of the causes for confusion when people are assessing the new rewards track system, is that it's not clear how much gold XP is worth.

This is complicated by the fact that it changes depending on what level you've reached.

So using data from https://outof.cards/hearthstone/2200-the-rewards-track-how-long-to-get-to-level-50-644000-experience-required-to-get-to-level-150 I've charted the data - though I might be out by 1 level. This chart averages the value in gold of 1000XP based on what level you finish on the rewards track. Example:

If you finish at level 50, your 192,200XP equated to 21.85 Gold per 1000XP.

This is in contrast to the early levels which go as high as 78.43 Gold per 1000XP, or level 100 which nears 30 Gold per 1000XP.

I only went to level 100, because quite frankly, unless you are example 1 in Celestation's 2 examples from his twitter post, and play 5 hours each and every day (i.e. a third of your waking life), the vast majority of people will get no where near level 100 let alone level 150 unless changes are made.

edit: gold reward graph scaled by XP, marking levels 25,50,75.

gold per 1000 XP where the XP of non gold reward levels is accumulated until gold is rewarded for an average:

Why do i have the epic card expendable performers in my library... i pre-ordered and i get this card?  It's not a legend its epic.

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.

Discussion Thread Rules

No thread rules were added to this season. Please populate and manually edit this thread with them.

I know Arena at the moment its not the main subject of discussion, and its far from the glorious days as a game mode, but I am one of the few ones who still enjoy it a lot, and still play it for at least 4-5 days per week. I was refreshing this forum a lot this  to find some thoughts on the upcoming meta, and upcoming rotation, or cards, and nothing, I know that we have the Arena impact, but even that one if not full. I know I am not boozor, sinti or some other of you favorite Arena contend creator, but I still decided to write a post about this to share my opinions, and to ask what to you guys think about the upcoming set to Arena, it will be impactful enough? it will change the meta? is corrupt cards good for Arena? Below I had few videos in which I show my thoughts for the upcoming expansion.

Playlist, with meta analysis, card review, and best classes.

Hey all! Just updated our deckbuilder so that it supports the new expansion's cards.

This isn't live in Hearthstone until tomorrow, but I figured we could at least get the theorycraft game started.

You can access the duels deckbuilder within the regular deckbuilder ->
https://outof.cards/hearthstone/deckbuilder/

Just select "Duels" before selecting a class, or, when you're in the regular builder, you can change the game format filter to Duels to unlock the additional functionality.

This is on top of the update on patch day which brought the new treasures and hero powers into the builder.

Hi, I need help!

I can't play ranked or casual mode at all.
It started when I tried to play on my cellphone and I thought at first it was just a bug on the phone. But it wouldn't work on the tablet either and now, just tried on my PC and it still doesn't work!
Every other mode works fine, solo, tavern brawl, duels, battlegrounds and arena, I just checked and they all work. But when I click on "Play" to play ranked, the "wooden circlet" around the hearthstone logo spins forever and nothing happens. Tried googling to see if someone else had raised the issue but I found nothing.

Thanks

I did all of my Daily Quests when the new System started and since then i didnt get any new ones it always says next Daily Quest in 20 hours Everytime i log in i did get new Weekly Quests though

Anyone else has the same Problem?

I have made a strawpoll to see what people think would be able to change hearthstone if blizzard decides on not changing the model for the battlepass. The options include:

The optional monthly membership that gives you access to the entire collection

This option has been passed around for a long time, mostly because blizzard is a company well known for a subscription based game in world of warcraft, and an argument i have genuinely not heard a strong argument against outside of the sunk cost fallacy for the putting the option into the game so late.

Doubling dust refunds

This option i feel has been needed in hearthstone for a loooooooooooong time. It feels terrible being free to play barely being able to play two classes out of the now ten and getting some shitty legendary that was already fringe but now that you have it it is completely worthless. You sell it in the shop and you get 1/4th of what it should be worth. This option would give dusting cards half their value instead of what we have now, legendaries would reward 800, epics 200, etc etc. and i think it has been needed for a long time in hearthstone just because it feels TERRIBLE uncrafting literally ANYTHING. And since there is no opportunity for getting the legendary you want other than crafting for dust. You will probably get more junk legendaries from packs before getting the ones you want, not counting the fact you might just get the same shitty ones you have been dusting over and over to get something good.(i got two Bwonsamdi, the Dead in rastakahn during the expansion, a card you could argue is still useless to this day.)

These are the two i have thought of as the best solutions, but if you have a better answer to it, feel free to pick the third option and reply below.

I'm Space Dargon instead of Space Dragon.

People on Reddit did the calcs.. the rewards are not the same,

Everything that is wrong:

-The exp per game played is pathetic

- The rewards are less than they used to be

-Pack rewards are terrible (Specially year of the dragon packs.. at level 45...)

-The tavern pass is not part of the preorder

-Blizzard makes content creators to shut up about it or ELSE (this is the worst part tbh..)

I will let zeddy talk:

I am hovering over that uninstall button.. not china.. not other controversies done it. not the fact that I was barely playing anymore anyway.. this.. is just the last straw I was expecting this system hoped it would be awesome and all.. but nope it's a big slap in the face!

My go to card game is gonna be LoR from now on, was for a while anyway, see you there.

Edit: uninstalled the game.

Hi, we are now 3 days into the new progression system and I am wondering what your current progress on the new rewards track and your overall experience is.

I play about 1 or 2 hours a day, finished all daily and weekly quests (with the 15% XP bonus boost) and I have reached level 17. My first impressions are:

- I only play ranked now since it rewards more XP

- The rewards track feels like a drag, because the progress has halted compared against the start

- The urge to win has become almost non-existent, because losing still rewards XP

- The rewards track has altered the way I play and I am not sure if this a positive change or not

- Hearthstone has become even more expensive than it already was

Calculations aside, I wonder at which level I will end up on the rewards track and if indeed it is going to fulfill Blizzard's promise of equal or more 'gold' acquired before the next expansion hits.

I created a deck, but when I go to play I keep getting a deck-related error message. I haven't been able to play a single game, so I can't even retire the deck and restart.

several achievement last for ever (e.g. reach level 60 with a class)

does that means that every season we will get this achievement automatically completed ? and get relevant progression reward?

Just finished my Fireside Gathering Pack Opening and wanted to share the results with you. I've opened 5 golden and 83 normal Darkmoon Faire packs.

The 5 golden packs netted me 1 golden epic.

From the 83 normal packs I got Zai, the Incredible (pack #2), Tickatus (#27) and Greybough (#64). On top of that, there were no less than 18 epics, one of them golden.

All in all I'm rather disappointed. No new old god and none of the legendarys I wanted. 3/83 is okayish but I've had way better luck in the past. The epics are great in quantity but absolute garbage in quality. Barely 5 of them are playable imho. Guess I'll have to spend my entire 8.000 gold on additional packs on release day.

How was your early pack opening? Any better luck?

I have noticed some annoying bugs in Darkmoon patch.

1. Card pack opening is now spoiled. When drawing card pack to opening position, achievements are already informed during that phase, even you have not yet opened single card on that pack. Got some legendary ”ruined” aswell as all the class related achievments. This happened in early opening on private fireside gathering.

2. Play 50 corrupt cards weekly quest is not working. I have played several (only possible atm in duels). And got only 1/50.

Think that have noticed some other minor things related to achievements, but do not recall details. Very annoying, seems that they have had to hurry and took some shortcuts on playtest.

Anyone else facing these issues?

A bunch of new passives and starting teasures have been revealed and absolutely nobody is talking about them? No post here on OOC, nothing on hearthpwn, no youtuber is talking about them either - I am honestly dumbfounded about the complete lack of information online about this right now.

Has Blizzard explained anywhere why did they takeaway some of the stats from the profile page?

where are my total arena wins? where are my total ranked wins(I cba to open a calculator and add all my wins from different classes, please don't suggest)?
