Beat That Bounty Boss!

Hey fam, I'm creating this thread as a spot for tips, tricks, and comps for tackling a specific PvE bounty. 

If there's a better space for this kind of thing, let me know. 

An example, Lord Banehollow's crew …

Hearthstone's Next Major Patch Brings New Mercenaries, Zones, Bounties, and More to the Tavern on January 25

How about a Merc that could create a (one turn only) friendly copy of an enemy character? That might be a fun ability. Who could pull off a trick like that? Archmage Vargoth? 

And it seems like there are …

New Finisher Animations in Hearthstone Battlegrounds Adds Outstanding Flair to Smacking Your Opponent's Face

Excellent headline, team! I got quite the kick out of it. 

I also like that Blizz is figuring out Battlegrounds cosmetics (like the board) that you can enjoy every game, not just when you happen to roll a particular …

No Hearthstone Patch Planned This Week, Blizzard Has Bigger Plans for the Lead-up

I think the announcement will be about the winner of the Horde/Alliance honor battle, and then the patch will include the diamond card and such. 

Probably later this week?

Reach Legend Rank

I don't have evidence for this, but to me it feels like ladder is easier in the morning. (I don't play all day, but my work schedule varies.)

By 10pm, there are so many good players to get matched …

Reach Legend Rank

I haven't hit Legend since Ungoro times (what a slog that was), though I've hit Diamond 1 quite a few times. 

You're not alone! 

During the rewards unwrap at the start of a new month, the game used …

Big Mercenaries Updates Coming Soon - New Zone, Bounties, Equipment Change, and Training Grounds

I can see how that would add replayability, but it also just sounds like Heroic mode. 

We will see what unfolds, I guess!

Big Mercenaries Updates Coming Soon - New Zone, Bounties, Equipment Change, and Training Grounds

What could an "end game" be? I imagine that the designers want to craft an experience that gives players of all levels something to work towards. And that they don't want to create an experience that feels like "well, I …

How to Complete Alterac Valley's Rogue Achievements for Rewards Track Experience - Great Deck Lists!

Good call on the Spammy Arcanist. I'll be trying that soon (probably right after the season reset). 

A recent Duels run just scored me the achievement of having 7 Patrons on board - too late for XP, but still …

Books

Cru, if you're looking to try something without much filler, try a book of short stories, like Neil Gaiman's Snow, Glass, Apples. 

I've also enjoyed Tolkien and the Pullman series mentioned above. 

For those of you who enjoy …

How to Complete Alterac Valley's Druid Achievements for Rewards Track Experience - Great Deck Lists!

I always keep a couple deck slots for Achievement decks. These articles are full of good ideas! 

For the Choose All option, are you saying there's no way to complete it in Standard?

Blizzard Details Hearthstone's Winter Veil In-Game Event - 6 Free Card Packs, Free Shaman Hero Skin, Festive Skins

For the double damage, I was lost for a while too. Then my spouse helped: Fire burns Trees, Trees drink Water, Water puts out Fire. 

Maybe that will help you also?

Recent change to video ads?

Sent links via message. Thanks for all your hard work on OOC. I know testing on all/many devices is not feasible. 

The screenshots don't really capture that in the time it took me to type this response (maybe 65 …

Recent change to video ads?

I snagged some screenshots... Do I post them here? How? (All I see is a way to add an href)

DM you a OneDrive link?

Recent change to video ads?

Hi team, did something about your video ads change this week? I know this is an important part of site revenue, but it's suddenly covering almost a third of the screen, and the X isn't always reachable. 

As of …

Survive the Fractured in Alterac Valley Launch! Day 1 Decks to Try, Freebies, and Everything You Need to Know About the Expansion

Tip: if you can save some of your weekly quests (I've got a battlecry one sitting at 40/50) until after the expansion goes live, that XP will speed you along your fresh rewards track. 

Good luck, all!

Dean's Features Pitch to the Hearthstone Team - Selling Cards, Tournaments, Deck Tracker, Naxxramas, & More

True! I never read the comments, except here on OOC. Gotta protect my sanity.

Dean's Features Pitch to the Hearthstone Team - Selling Cards, Tournaments, Deck Tracker, Naxxramas, & More

A Best of 3 event sounds fun. I can see how it would be confusing to mix it with traditional ladder. 

Definitely increases the complexity of queueing, both on the user side and on the server side.
