Wow that was a long read but definitely more user friendly than reading 1/25 twitter posts!
I do think some warrior lovers are voicing their displeasure considering how hard the class got nerfed. Honestly think that Tidal Revenant nerf was unwarranted
Logged in just now and thought I missed out on the quest coz my daily log was full. Glad that wasn't the case but this still sucks regardless. The Noz quest does give substantially more XP like the super ultra rare "Challenge of Friend" quest. Guess we'll just have to exploit Mercenaries a bit more this month.
Hope Team 5 do a retrospective or lessons learnt on why these cards were broken. Especially Snapdragon which is part of the new content. These bugs are becoming a joke now...
To be fair, Clownfish's art does not seem to the too Warlock-y, but at the same time it doesn't change the fact that Gul'dan should receive more fishy support.
Reading this prediction article now (from the future) I chuckled with the fact that Clownfish was dead on aside going to Shaman but Avalon did said it doesn't look like a warlock card, well he was right 😜
I must say, Flux has come far as a content and site creator since Hearthpwn and I personally think Out of cards has become the best Hearthstone news site to date. Keep up all the site updates, they're definitely noticed and appreciated and looking forward to Out of Games! Can't forget the rest of the OoC staff though! Hope you guys had lots of cake and party fun
I really hope Team 5 look at the stats on how many players entered this brawl compared to other brawls. Ofc they will be lower overall due to the high entrance fee, but I hope with our loud community, they get the message and retire this brawl in favor of the standard brawliseum
I was surprised that they only went with 3 nerfs, but then buffing 17 under performing cards probably makes up for that. Was quite happy with the Dragonbane Shot nerf coz there's always that "Complete 3 questlines" weekly quest where Quest Hunter is the only real candidate.
Quite impressed with the solution they came up with for Diamond Drek'Thar. Turned out to be actually profitable if your bought it! These nerfs and buffs will definitely shake up the meta considering how many buffs there are. Funny how Team 5 avoided nerfing Defend the Dwarven District but I do like the nerf target they went with instead.
I won't lie, Iceblood Tower really makes the deck super inconsistent. I probably had 2 out of 10 times where it actually cast a helpful spell or didn't inflict damage onto me. I'd recommend replacing it with Pyroblast.
I'm hoping it's a card game but not too keen on another hero collector like the Mercs mode. Ofc most of these devs and Brode left Blizzard long before Mercs was even thought of so I'm leaning more towards maybe a card game similar to LoR where you have the Marvel heroes and they have their own ability cards.
This problem will definitely infuriate players who bought the diamond version but in the end, it can still be classified as a cosmetic as the actual card was given out for free provided you chose the Horde or finished the FaV questline. Still interested to see what Team 5 come up with as a solution but I guarantee you that the toxic HS player base will still get angry
@IksarHS Let's say you balance adjust Drek'Thar. What's the refund policy for Diamond Drek'thar owners?
@J_Alexander_HS Not sure, sounds like a hard problem for our commercial team! (Source)
I guarantee you that players who bought the diamond version will be unhappy with any solution they come up with, so the best bet they have is to avoid nerfing Drek'Thar.
I'd be very surprised if they refund players' their real money. And what do we even do for the players that bought it with gold?
Highly doubt they'll nerf Drek'Thar coz then they'd need to refund players real money to whoever bought the diamond version of the card. And how on earth do you even nerf him? Changing the text to only summoning 1 minion ruins the flavor of the card coz there's 2 frost wolves and we can't change the mana cost either.
As for buffs, I'd imagine Team 5 will play it safe and buff core set cards so if they do turn out to be too good, they can nerf them again without any dust refunds.
Specifically talking about the Warcraft IP, I remember the Warcraft movie broke box office records in China while having lack luster results in the US. Ofc a movie is very different to the game IP but certain Asian countries definitely do enjoy it.

That will be one hell of a week...
2 Neutral Colossals, what a treat!

Save your standard packs for the mini-set that will be released soon™.
Also, great updates to the site Flux, definitely feels more modern

Definitely looks like a lot of fun! Thanks Flux and OoC for supporting this game and adding the cards and locations to your database.

The only feel good moment when facing Quest Hunter is when you play Mutanus the Devourer to eat Tavish, Master Marksman and watch as your opponent instantly concedes.

Straight from one of Dean's Q&As

Best guess is they nerf cards like Pufferfist, Raj Naz'jan and Treasure Guard to 4 mana and buff the stats. Ofc other top performing DH cards like Multi-Strike will take a hit.

OMG, that Twitterpated Malygos is adorable!
