I really like the art direction for the anomalies. Having Yogg visually corrupt the HS box is pretty cool. Keen to see the other anomalies and it's gonna make constructed quite interesting. Now we just need a masters tour with anomalies to see how the pros handle them in each game
Do you mean they started tracking cards you previously owned in 2020? Because there doesn't need to be any special tracking for cards you currently own.
From how I understand it, Blizzard only started tracking duplicates from 2020 when they enabled the duplicate protection, so all cards you owned before 2020 won't be tracked for duplicate protection. Not sure why they can't retroactively track cards that are in your collection.
Well it's safe to assume that Heroic Scamiseum will be a normal thing now before mini-sets which is just a trap for new players. Long time players know when to avoid it now as we all know it's a scam but new players won't. I'd love to know the stats on how many ppl quite HS after going 0-3 in a Heroic brawl then didn't have enough gold to purchase the mini-set a week later.
Yup agreed. The CoT packs are a complete waste of time coz you do get duplicates even though everyone is saying duplicate protection is working.
For eg: I already owned 6 copes of Jade Spirit from MSoG but I opened 2 copies in CoT packs, before I got new cards like Rat Sensei or Invigorate.
But who knows, some ppl were saying it was working correctly for them but it didn't for me and I'm still missing a lot of CoT specific common and rare cards.
The reprint idea was just a bad idea to begin with. Blizzard should've just treated the brand new CoT cards like a mini-set but ofc, they want money.
The reason this is happening to me is coz Blizzard only started tracking duplicates from 2020. So if you're a long time player, the CoT packs will be a waste of time coz you will get duplicate cards.
I still have my physical fireside gathering HS pin from my first gathering I attended years ago, such fond memories. Sad to see they removing the entire feature from the game but I'm sure Blizzard did due diligence and found hardly anyone using it.
As for mass pack openings... the hype for pack openings over the years has died down substantially (at least for me). Realized this when I felt opening packs for Titans was more a chore than actual fun so probably gonna be using the mass pack opening feature in future. Didn't ever request it but from the above gif, the way they implemented it is quite nice.
Good job on adding all the MTX on out of games here. Shows them off really nicely. I've opened 5 boxes so far but only really want the Dragon Fire Rare Finisher Effect (for obvious reasons 😁) so might just wait a few months to buy it directly from the store.
I did get Transmuted Peddler's Rain Hideout Decoration and do a lot of trading so quite happy with that although the Chaotic Peddler's Rain would be the more apt decoration considering everything is traded in chaos
Really enjoying Twist so far (aside from the duplicate protection fail). Been playing with Zeddy's Jade Rogue and definitely have to say, Jade Telegram alone has won me a few games, especially against C'thun decks. Just shuffling that C'thun back in deck on the 9th turn is just glorious.
Not on the login screen dialog. The related cards only shows in the collection. But yes I do understand your confusion as I saw the same thing but knew about the patch beforehand. So someone not in the loop probably would be very confused seeing no text change on the wildseed cards.
In addition to the changes, which you can read all about in full detail down below, Grinding Gear Games has also stated that they are working on performance issues
I hope these performance issues include more texture bug fixes. I know they mention some in a previous patch but I feel they've just gotten worse and I sometimes miss things like metamorph or strongboxes coz only the tool tip shows, art assets are missing :(
Definitely a good announcement but also unexpected and early. Guess Blizzard wanted to show something at Gamescon to try excite the players still playing 😅
This is a decent amount of new content but would've been nice if we saw a round of wild nerfs along with all the buffs but guess this is a twist focus patch disguised as wild 🙃
Yay! Now I don't need to keep logging out the game when I know I can't win 😑
In all seriousness, I had no idea what was going on and I've played HS BGs and Dota underlords before. They need a better tutorial guide coz I had to watch a streamer first before I realized I could buy units 🤦♀️got way too much carpel tunnel syndrome from the constant clicking 😅

I'm laughing at that Pool cleaning simulator game. No offence to the studio but I have no idea who the target audience is for that game 🤣
Only funny scenario I can think of is the wife telling you to clean the pool, then you play this game instead 😅

Pretty good mystery box I'd say. The timer on the map device is a really neat feature for those speed runners
We also (finally) have news about the mystery box: https://twitter.com/pathofexile/status/1698969219852108103?ref

Yup. This same issue can lead to having banned copies of Acolyte of Pain and playable ones in Twist. What a hilarious bug
Also just letting you guys know that there's no duplicate protection on Caverns of times packs. It's mentioned in the known issues here: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/hearthstone/t/272-known-issues/112122/87
Wouldn't recommend opening those packs till they fix the issue.

This is such a cool TB but we've only had it 3 times!? 😱
I'd imagine DK to be particularly good seeing as you're guarenteed to get lots of corpses. The below mention of eggs and Korrak sound good too.
Yea same 😁 saved my packs for the mini set seeing as I may need to use some gold to purchase Caverns of Time packs (will try resist spending money)

I can confirm now that this is not a hallucination
