Imagine a somewhat oversized, bearded fairy appeared, hollering “Well met!” and granting you a once in a lifetime chance of 3 hearthstone related wishes. What would you wish for?
Here are mine:
1. Change the dust economy. Disenchanting a card should reward half of its cost in dust. That would lead to more possibilities for everyone, hopefully resulting in more creativity. Furthermore, people who like golden cards could now get one for every eighth card of the same rarity they dusted, which sounds fair to me.
2. Make solo content available offline. I would love to be able to play solo adventures on a train or a bus without having to rely on a working internet connection. Often enough, the latter is not a given thing. Being able to play offline might significantly increase the time (and maybe even number of) people played hearthstone.
3. Abandon “time-walls”. While it is possible to craft or obtain every card in the game if you invest heavily enough, there is no way to compensate if you missed out on an expansion release or an event offering hero skins. I understand that people paid heavily for their mega bundles and don’t want the hero skins to be given away for free to everyone, but why not add them to the shop for let’s say double the price of the usual hero skins? I would certainly be intrigued by the prospect of getting Madame Lazul for 20 €.
Since I’m not sure if my wish number 2 is technically possible (how much storage would be needed?), I’ll sneak in a joker: I want more cosmetics. Give us something to do after obtaining 500 wins. Give us entry effects, emotes, pets, diamond borders, whatever.
Now what would be your wishes? What are the top three things you’d like to change?
Oh, I haven't bought the Heist so I couldn't know that. But at least in my runs, it happened they could have avoided lethal and just ignored it. Like, they have 10 HP left and I finished my turn with two minions who have a combined sum of 12 attack points. My opponent had one minion on board and the "destroy a damaged minion heropower". So, instead of sacrifizing his minion and kill one of mine with the heropower to prevent lethal, he went face, played some random cards without any impact and lost. Similar things happened when I threatened letahl and they used to burn spells to go face in stead of killing my minions... Really stupid AI it seems.
I don't know... looks like Ungoro all over again. That is, 1 quest ends up completely broken because people find a way to abuse it (caverns), 2 or 3 are okay-ish Tier 2 (waygate, fire plume) and the rest is for the memes. So far the new warlock quest seems okay (maybe it helps Control Lock to become a thing again), the mage one is for funsies only. And honestly, I don't like so many legendary cards being not competetiv, they are too expensive for that. Don't get me wrong, I like to play fun decks and even took a marsh queen deck to ladder last year because I pulled a golden copy from a pack. But in the end most of us want to play the well performing cards and getting those is harder when there are less of them. Hopefully the rest of the new quests are better and / or get enough support to find a place in the meta.
Very often when I make a post using mobile (Safari), the last symbol disappears once the post goes live. Letters seem to be fine, but points, exclamation and question marks get eaten.
Editing the post afterwards is no problem but an inconvenience. And at least when I end a post with a question mark I feel a need to do so because it just looks wrong.
Some things make it look like it isn’t completely thought through, like they had not enough time to finish it before going live. Just my experience from a quick try out with all classes:
1) Warrior is way to easy
2) It took me 3 tries to beat the first boss with priest. It was so awkward, I just didn’t seem to find a win condition. After that, it was (too?) easy again.
3) It happened several times that I threatened lethal with my minions and instead of clearing them, the boss went face with his minions (while I was completely out of range for him to kill me).
I have read some tests and since I can't afford an iPad I came up with the idea of getting a Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 10. Good rating in all categories, the price is okay-ish (180-200 Euro for the Wifi version).
I know about the google ban but there is a dedicated website from Huawei which guarantees further use of android software, apps and updates.
So my questions are:
1) Does any of you know of a better tablet for Hearthstone and Skype for 200 Euro max?
2) Does any of you know more about the risks of buying Huawei stuff regarding the google ban?
I had this issue this morning (Europe, between around 06:00 to 11:00 CEST). News Posts on the front page and pretty much all the links to decks lead to this error. The only section working was the forums. It occured on mobile (Safari) and desktop (chrome). Since about 12:00 CEST everything has been running smoothly.
It’s a bit off topic but I would be grateful for any useful information about tablets for hearthstone. I prefer apple, too but would consider other devices nevertheless.
I can’t get this deck out of my head. So I calculated the cost for me: I would have to spend all my saved up 8.000 dust and disenchant 8 legendarys (the useless ones I won’t play anyway, expansion cards only). This would be quite a blow for my future possibilities in standard... So... could you answer a few questions to help me make up my mind?
1) I saw screenshots of you reaching rank 4 with the deck in the pepper thread. Is it possible to get to rank 5 with it on a regular basis?
2) I have no idea about the wild meta, but obviously big priest is a thing. How good is this deck against them and other other popular meta decks?
3) Could you please use your fortune telling abilities to predict if there are major changes coming to the deck? I don’t want to invest so heavily just to have 4 new legendaries added to the deck with the new expansion.
Edit: 4) Why no chameleos
Thanks for the guide again, if I should craft the deck, I’ll probably print it out. I’m a priest noob, I’m afraid
I’m sitting on 3.5 gold and 8k dust and my problem is that I’m considering switching to wild. I’m in love with kovachuts priest dec and if I should really craft it, that would eat all my dust and then some. So... I’m basically waiting for the reveals to make up my mind if I should preorder and which one.
I believe there must be a way to change country settings instantly. Otherwise, I think Argentina/Brazil/Mexico links of Blizzard Shop will be a good bet which is less risky for micro-transactions. If only there were a way to reach them... I couldn't find with all combinations I could think of :|
What do you mean with "instantly"?
Regarding Blizzard Shops: i think it is not possible to buy at the mexico store if that account is not based in mexico. The mexico shop is: https://us.shop.battle.net/en-mx
If you click that link you will probably be redirected to regular us-shop (USD). I have a mexico based (2nd-) account too and it only works to access that en-mx link if you are logged in to a MXN-Account.
Logging in both the Korean and the Mexican shop worked fine for me (German Account). I tried it out until I was asked to select which server I want to buy the package for and then quit, because I still have to check out if my bank is fine with paying Korean money. So no, no redirection to your usual shop :)
Aside from that, the Korean shop seems to be cheaper than the Mexican. The smaller bundle is 38 Euro in Korea, 44 Euro in exico.
I guess this will join Harrison Jones, Captain Greenskin and The Black Knight in the "tech cards for the start of a new expansion" group. As soon as the meta settles, they will be pushed out of decks and go back to sleep until the next expansion. I like it!
Thanks for the link, I like reading the reports but usually forget to look it up.
I can only agree with what was already said: I'm experiencing the healthiest meta since I've started playing in 2015. So much diversity, so many fun and viable decks. Even niche decks stand a chance because Control Warrior grants you enough time to get your stuff together. I'm currently having so much fun with Face Warrior, Pogo Rogue, Jepetto Hunter, Secret Pally, sometimes even Betrug Lock. I love it!
And on top of that, Blizzard really did a great job this year. Between the rotation, Dalaran, the buffs and now the new / HoFed cards there wasn't even the slightest chance of getting bored. I'm really curious if they will be able to keep up this pace. The constant changes make the game more expensive, but I guess it's worth it.
Side note: I want to thank Dakarian and Skorpyon for their contribution to this forum. You are writing excellent posts which are clever, easy to read and 100% high quality. The two of you and Kovachut are the members I would follow if there was such a function implemented yet. Keep it up!

What do you think?
Really cool brawl! I did it with warrior on first try in 28 minutes.
Can we check anywhere how far we've come towards the card reveals?
Looks really strong to me. I somehow have a feeling an overload would have been adequate.
I have read some tests and since I can't afford an iPad I came up with the idea of getting a Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite 10. Good rating in all categories, the price is okay-ish (180-200 Euro for the Wifi version).

Really nice! I did something similar (
Ah, sorry. You’re right, MXN actually did redirect me to US.
I will have a look into the paying process in the Korean shop and report back, though.
Logging in both the Korean and the Mexican shop worked fine for me (German Account). I tried it out until I was asked to select which server I want to buy the package for and then quit, because I still have to check out if my bank is fine with paying Korean money. So no, no redirection to your usual shop :)

Please don't. It made me smile :)
That's fun for me:
