Garrosh Shop Bundle & Book of Heroes Chapter is Now Live!

Thanks for the info. Turns out I'm an idiot and never realized I had to play through the stories a second time for achievements, anyway.

Garrosh Shop Bundle & Book of Heroes Chapter is Now Live!

I had already beat the Hunter Book of Heroes but had to restart it when there was a reward tied to it. After winning round 1, the game recognized that I had beaten the content and gave me the reward. …

Hearthstone Duels Hero Power and Treasure Unlock Requirements are Being Reduced This Week

All pretty good changes. Killmox is still bad at +1/+1, though. His health needs to not scale up (and maybe start at 5 to compensate?) b/c he quickly becomes too hard to kill.

Rewards Track: Current progress

Currently level 38 with 1761/5800 towards 39. Obviously, that will change a bit next week with the patch. The 20% reduction should make this thing reasonable and much more likely to meet the dev's goal of providing better rewards. It's …

this new system...

All calculations I have seen, including the calculations provided by the design team, show a reduction in gold for any player that plays less than 3 hours per day. It's disappointing that the bean counters at BlizzAvision chose to force …

Hot take - Blizzard is actually not that bad
Quote From FinalOlive

So sad they aren't even acknowledging our existence. I hope it blows up in their face.

Well, technically, they are acknowledging our existence. They're just making it clear they don't find our …

How many times I have to loose / how low has to be my winrate, so I get normal opponents?

With the ranked reset to start the month, you will see those players for a few days. Then they will rise up the ranks quickly and you should start to face more appropriately ranked players.

Hot take - Blizzard is actually not that bad
Quote From Live4vrRdieTryn

Omg this is such a TLDR showdown. Let's make it simple: HS is the best CCG out there so much so it made the game it ripped off be awful in comparison. Magic made tons …

Hot take - Blizzard is actually not that bad
Quote From Sykomyke

A thought occurred to me. Perhaps part of the rewards system revamp/battlepass system is a first step in a direction that disincentives against aggro deck farming.  

There were (and still are) people who think the …

I completely agree there is value to those items. Your post seems like a reasonable delve into the value but, ultimately, you agree the value is not 1:1 with gold.

Rewards Track: Current progress

It may be helpful to mention the game mode and time played per day to get a feel for how different play styles are progressing. 

I'm level 29 (close to 30 with 3598/4050 XP) while playing roughly 90 minutes …

Card rewards, packs from old sets, and Tavern Tickets cannot be used to buy packs...Assigning values to those non-gold rewards is disingenuous because those rewards are not 1:1 equivalent to …

Hot take - Blizzard is actually not that bad

There are certainly some bad-faith arguments in the community. There always are, and always will be because this is the internet and, in general, people are stupid. Lots of old, bad blood comes up that isn’t relevant to the rewards …

Feeling guilty for enjoying the game

Definitely no reason to feel guilty about having fun. I'm still enjoying the game, despite my disappointment with the new system.

I do hate this new System, here is why:

You are not alone in how you feel. This system is a huge disappointment. I made a detailed post about it in this thread, but the basic conclusion is that we need to hit what appears to be an …

Blizzard LIED and it's NOT FINE

Prior to staring my usual Sunday morning routine (Hearthstone and some Forzathon Live runs) I decided to redo the math on the rewards track. I'm a bit sluggish and the coffee hasn't kicked in yet, so I could certainly be …

Hearthstone Hotfixes - Duels Gets a Balance Update Moving Treasures Into Different Pools, Phaoris’ Blade Nerfed

All good moves, for sure. Nothing feels worse than queuing into a hunter that got [card]lunar band[/card] as their first treasure. Even playing it feels lame, though an easy run to double digit rewards was always nice.

Rewards Track: Current progress

I'm at level 20 and have played mostly Duels since the system released.

I haven't tracked time but I usually play roughly 2 hours per day, mostly once my family has gone to bed. I would guesstimate my play …

Blizzard LIED and it's NOT FINE

It's very difficult to look at the timing and feel like Blizzard is actually being honest.

The feedback was brutal when first announced and we were told we'd definitely earn more. The system was introduced just prior to the …

Is Duels broken for anyone else?

Definitely bugged. Treasures/Bundles that have only 2 of the 3 options showing until you back out (or restart entirely if it freezes) and go back in. Disconnect issues.
