Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's Stormwind Nerfs, Buffs, Bans, and Redesign Patch Arriving Tuesday

I think warlock in particular is destined to dominate an untouched Wild mode because the class is built on getting massive upsides alongside big downsides. Over time cards get added to turn those downsides into upsides, and Wild reaches a …

Blizzard Answers Frequently Asked Mercenaries Questions, Confirms 153 Mercenary Packs Available Through Campfire Tasks at Launch

Ouch. This patch looks excessively unkind to poor Valeera. First she's the only one to not get a Halloween skin, and now this. They better at least have plans to release her merc. as part of some special event.

Blizzard Answers Frequently Asked Mercenaries Questions, Confirms 153 Mercenary Packs Available Through Campfire Tasks at Launch

[quote from="Author"]Later on, you’ll be able to stick new Mercenaries on the Bench and have them watch your more powerful Mercenaries take on tougher Bounties. Remember, all members of a Party get the same experience from fights, even if they …

Blizzard Answers Frequently Asked Mercenaries Questions, Confirms 153 Mercenary Packs Available Through Campfire Tasks at Launch

If they remove Valeera I am never going to believe they want to treat the classes equally. I know classes don't really matter in Mercenaries, but character flavour still does, and I always identify with rogues in fantasy games. Take …

How Much Do Hearthstone's Mercenaries Packs Cost? Are the Pre-Orders Worth the Price? Pricing Details Datamined

My interpretation is that every pack will contain exactly 1 mercenary card, but it chooses rarity first, so if you roll a 'rare' and already own all rare mercs. you'll get a cosmetic for a rare, not a new epic …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #30 - Hearthstone Quest Cards, Free Battlegrounds Cosmetics, New Legend Card Back

It actually does. He doesn't get through all the questions asked, so every minute spent answering anime questions is a minute not spent on HS questions. Since 'AMA' invites any question, that's fine, but there is an opportunity cost associated …

How Much Do Hearthstone's Mercenaries Packs Cost? Are the Pre-Orders Worth the Price? Pricing Details Datamined

I'm not even a F2P HS player. I think I have had a pre-order (never both) every expansion since Blackrock, with the only exception being Boomsday Project because I happened to have lots of gold that time. I think I …

Hearthstone's Fairy Tale Hero Skin Bundle Preview - 5 New Hero Skins Coming

It's less that little red riding hood (LRRH) works with rogue, and more that Valeera herself has a red hood. Like, always, so it writes itself. Meanwhile I don't see any association between LRRH and Jaina at all beyond them …

How Much Do Hearthstone's Mercenaries Packs Cost? Are the Pre-Orders Worth the Price? Pricing Details Datamined

I'm committed to treating Mercs. as F2P, even if I really enjoy it, because with (mostly-)single player games I find the journey more engaging than the destination. So most of what I'm getting out of this is confirmation that 100 …

Hearthstone's Shadowlands Hero Skin Bundle Preview - 4 New Hero Skins Coming

I guess if you play [card]Maestra of the Masquerade[/card] rogue has literally every skin in the game. You can even use a rogue skin like [card]SI:7 Anduin[/card]... wait, something's gone very wrong here.

Seriously though, we're still waiting on …

Hearthstone's Fairy Tale Hero Skin Bundle Preview - 5 New Hero Skins Coming

Making a red riding hood skin and not giving it to Valeera is alongside putting [card]Omega Agent[/card] in warlock and [card]Stormhammer[/card] in hunter for the strangest class choices Team 5 have ever made, but I'm not against it since she …

A New Card Back is Coming to Hearthstone, But "Moonlight Might" is Only Available in South Korea

It's similar enough to plenty of existing card backs that I'm not really bothered whether I will be able to get it or not. We've reached the point of diminishing returns for night elf themed card backs it seems.

The radio silence is deafening
Quote From linkblade91

I'm like 99% sure they're that color because of Pokemon: Fire (red) beats Grass (green), Grass beats Water (blue), and Water beats Fire. For anyone who has played those games this would seem perfectly natural, …

The radio silence is deafening
Quote From Alfi

Quote from Blizz page: When you first enter the Tavern, you’ll notice that your Mercenaries are organized into three sections, called Roles, each with a corresponding color. Red Mercenaries are called Protectors; green Mercenaries are …

The radio silence is deafening

I agree they have a lot of clarifying to do after the reveal stream, but the mode is still nearly a month away with nowhere near a month's worth of communications (whatever that means) needed, so I understand the silence. …

The Top Standard Hearthstone Decks According to Blizzard for Early September Laddering

I think you are misrepresenting the Barrens meta here. Yes, control priest existed and was horrid to play against, but that was more to do with how it played (generating the same handful of cards over and over again, removing …

Hearthstone Book of Mercenaries Tamsin Roame is Now Live - Get a Free Warlock Card Pack

She's a forsaken warlock, so there wasn't much chance for anything else.

Rokara's 'dick-move' was more surprising: ain't nobody got a right to claim the're the captain when Hooktusk is right there helping you out!

Hearthstone's Stormwind Questline Cards Were a Mistake - Here's How We Can Fix Them

The issue with reducing the damage she does (or better put: the amount she reduces your health by) is that she is important for heal-focused decks to make sure they can be damaged to utilise their healing cards and synergies. …

Hearthstone's Stormwind Questline Cards Were a Mistake - Here's How We Can Fix Them

Well, that saved me the trouble of writing a similar post, which would have been broadly in agreement.

I would have put some focus on the rewards for the first 2 stages of the questlines though. Just look at …

Rant: Why Devs Making New Content Aren't Ruining the Game, Players Are

Given players will be matched according to the power level of their teams, I don't think the Mercs' PvP is nearly as much of a pay to win mode as many people seem to think. By the sounds of it, …
