I just finished by last class (Paladin), and it happened to coincide with my 7000th overall win. I used to not like Pally much, but due to the grind to 500 I grew to like it lately with Mech and Holy Wrath variants. I finished the grind with Quest Pally which has been a lot of fun.
Hi all! I just wanted to take a minute and celebrate completing 500 wins will all 9 classes. I just finished Paladin using Quest Pally, which also lined up with my 7000th overall win. I know many others have many more wins, but this is an exciting milestone for me, so I thought I'd share.
Anyone else hit an important HS milestone recently? Any upcoming?
I continue to struggle using the site menu on mobile. I am using the latest iOS on an iPhone 6s Plus, and I’ve tried on both Chrome and Safari.
I tap the bars to open the menu, and then I tap one of the headers (e.g. Forums) to expand that section. If I try to scroll down, it expands wherever I tap and hold to scroll. Then, if I try again it will jump to the page of whatever I touch rather than letting me scroll down. In short, I can only access things at the top of the menu. Scrolling down doesn’t seem to work for me.
Feel free to point out if this is just user error ;)
Are there plans to link this guide from the front page via an article? I was surprised to not see any brawl info pop up on this site, and just today found the guide. Is this intentional to not spam articles? I personally would like to see the article, even if it just links directly to the guide.
I like this thread too...fun so see all the places people pull from.
Mine comes from a long-held misunderstanding I had as a child. When I first learned the alphabet song (not sure if this is unique to the US), I thought L-M-N-O was one letter since the song smushes them all together. I started using Elemenope to put the P in there too, but I found it wasn’t easily pronounceable, so I shortened to Elemeno.
BTW, I always extend the phrasing when I sing the song to my kids to make sure they don’t make the same mistake I did ;
My GT Is Nurgles Socks. (which is a name I created especially for Hearthstone, but is now my name in WoW and D3 and stuff as well as they all share 1 name. I typically choose a different name on each platform, so I'm something else on steam and then something else on Xbox live and again for PSN)
I just go by the name "Nurgz" mostly though for short. (at least in WoW where I actually have friends anyway)
The name basically came about because Nurgle is the God of Pestilence in Warhammer, so it's pretty filthy. Now there was this TV show in the UK called "The Young Ones" from the 70's and there's this bit where the character "Vivian" has sentient socks because they are that dirty. They basically come to life and start to terrorize the other house-mates in the show.
So I came up with the idea for a character that was basically the God Nurgles Socks that in the same vein as Vivian's Socks, had became sentient and were playing Hearthstone. So the idea is that if you are playing against me, you're actually playing against a sentient pair of socks once owned by the God of pestilence.
My identity is a really old one. It came from my early days playing yahoo pool. These days I prefer to go by Cue but it's usually always taken or whatever platform I'm signing up to needs 4 or more characters minimum so I just go for the full name cue killar. Geez I've been called this for over 20 years now D: I feel so old now!
Now you made me remember Yahoo pool...I used to love playing that (from another old guy apparently)
Well done! Yeah, there is definitely a skill prerequisite, but the grind is also required to get there. Day9 had some interesting comments about how he felt after his first grind to legend a while back (on YouTube).
I got legend for the first time in Wild earlier this year. Now I main standard, and I usually hit rank 3 or 4, but I’m not sure if I’ll try and make the push to legendin Standard due to the grind. It definitely felt good to get there at all.
Now my focus is on getting my last golden hero...good to have goals!!
I think you and I are both unlucky. I’ve opened one golden legendary, and I’ve played since GvG. According to the source below, on average you should get a golden for approximately 1 out of 10 legendaries you open, unless I am reading it incorrectly
I always accept friend requests with the assumption I’m about to witness a meltdown. With that mindset, it is entertaining and you can have some fun with it. Sometimes, however, it is actually a good interaction, and you have a productive and enjoyable conversation. Either way it is a win with the right mindset going in.
They said a collection manager feature is in the works, so we’ll just have to be patient for a bit. I’m hoping for a plug-in to Hearthstone deck tracker so I don’t need another program. I would guess that would Ben easier to develop than doing something from scratch, assuming plugins are eve an option.
Still no update for iOS. Based on folks saying it is buggy on PC and the arena issue, I’m guessing we won’t see the mobile update until they make some fixes. So much for June 3 update (for mobile).

Sorry I didn't notice it. I think I searched for "500 wins" not "golden portrait". Not trying to make dupes.

Because...dinosaurs. Plus summoning Brann with Brann in Wild will be, um, wild.
I’m surprised to see no one has mentioned the reference to Magic The Gathering: “untapped” referring to untapped lands (unused mana).

Fully agree. I ran into this today myself.

Yup. I only have Pally left, so I actually made my crafting decisions this release around making a few Pally decks to try and finish it out.
Congrats to the OP on the full set!

As someone who mainly comes here on mobile, this is huge, so thank you. Hearthpwn became nearly unusable on mobiledue to the spam.

Let’s hope I’m lucky on Wednesday. Cheers
This will be great! Congrats and I’m looking forward to all the improvements.
