I'm surprised at the positive marks given for [card]idol of y'shaarj[/card]. Are we forgetting that it also costs 8 mana? You can highroll into [card]blood of g'huun[/card], but that card costs 9 mana, so in effect you're playing a very expensive priest deck and hoping not to die.

There's a good reason why rez priest hasnt been seeing lots …

The menu system for achievements is, to put it mildly, like trying to navigate through the 4 digestive systems of a cow. I didn't mention this because I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, and its no doubt something they would fix in time. I wouldn't attribute anything malicious to it.

That said, it is very …

Quote From AngryShuckie

It is a similar story with the mini-sets: people want more content to reduce the time spent with a stale meta, but they don't want there to be a corresponding cost increase to the game. I am also torn on whether HS is an expensive game or not: certainly it sounds expensive to spend $80 …

[quote from="Chadd Nervig"]It's a really complex system, with a wide variety of XP sources, and a ton of different rewards, so the math can get rather involved. Leaving parts out or estimating things can lead you significantly off.[/quote]

1. I would rather not estimate the xp I get out of my quest but your system leave me with little …

In all honesty you should disclude the following from your math;

- Achievement xp - I've seen some of the conditions and have deemed them too much a fuss. I don't play hearthstone to purposefully fulfill esoteric conditions that crimps my game. Especially since my opponent will likely not be sympathetic or cooperative in any way. I know some …

Quote From OmarComing

This might be obvious, but just wanted to point out that you should open your golden packs first, because the pity timer is connected to the regular packs!

Really? I thought golden packs were technically a separate thing and more than once I've read golden packs dont have pity timers.

The …

I honestly though [card]game master[/card] would be well hated by the community for its powerlevel. Yes, its basically another [card]kirin tor mage[/card], but is that really something to complain about when both will only generally be useful in an aggro secret build? Had it not been for [card]rigged faire game[/card] I would've shared Demonxz95's opinion, but the card draw potential …

I think its only normal that we'd see shit like this, not that its acceptable in any way, mind you. The unfortunate reality is that when the mode was wrung out, it would have already had a design document sent to upper management and the first thing they'd look would be the projected profits.

When you start thinking about …

I watched Kibler's theorycraft stream, mostly to get the free packs, but also because he tends to test as much as he can. And I got to say, [card]Y'shaarj, the defiler[/card] would probably be the most consistently strong at what he does compared with, say, Cthun or Yogg.

Priest in particular is insane with Yshaarj, and I wouldn't be …

The story actually ends before the start of the Iron Horde saga? I guess it would be difficult to cover his entire story since its so long, not least by the fact that it ends in his death.

its ranked

So I went along to have a casual look at the xp gains from achievements and its conditions.

I wouldn't count of getting much from it. Some of them are pretty ridiculous, like getting [card]redeemed pariah[/card] to have 10 attack (I already think the minion sucks, and now the devs seem to think its possible to ever stick it …

Just as a gauge, to anyone interested

Played around 20+ min = 120xp

Since theres a cap on individual games, I would guess that its 150xp if you played a game that lasted 30 min and above.

Yeah, I can see it more clearly now. I've made a mistake in my own earlier calculations by not looking harder at the total xp needed to reach level 50. From what I can see now, it will still take around 3 months for anyone not playing this full time to get to level 50. The total gold gained at …

the 10% Xp boost only applies per pass, per expansion. So no, you don't get to accumulate xp boost across multiple tavern passes, if that's what you're trying to ask.

Finish top 2 in battlegrounds.

Are we really taking the piss here? I don't really play much battlegrounds to begin with. How many games are we talking about on average that someone even gets to top 4, let alone top 2.

It flabbergasts me why team5 even persist with this delusion that there's players who'd actually won't reroll those lowroll quests.

Take the example of the 'play 30 cards' quest that gives out 800xp compared with play 10 odd/even cards that gives out 1000xp. Are we really going to argue that its actually harder to play 10 odd/even cards compared …

Quote From Kamouh

i see that weekly quests (at least the 4 i saw cause i rerolled 1) are about playing around game modes and i dont really want to play other game modes out of the one i like... i dont think the game should "force" someone into playing something they doesnt really feel like to play... …

You get like 4200 gold just getting up to level 50, which by my own estimates should take less than a month. So consider that as a advance of the amount on the gold you'll get from the full 4 months.

I wouldn't take issue with the gold per week after cap, since by then I'm usually hoarding gold …

yeah, that 10% boost will mean you get about 30420 extra xp which translate to around 1000 extra gold. Could be more depending on play time.

But its still not really worth it for me. 20 USD is an awful lot of money where I come from. Had it not been for the mid expansion being staple now, I …
