Wouldn't this also just be a dumb thing you can do if you want to? The way I see it, all this does is helps some people get through the rewards track faster and encourages some better diversity on the ladder. Even if folks are playing meta decks, someone that just wants to stick to what they enjoy will probably come out with a higher winrate during such an event because people will be piloting decks that they aren't very good at, granting them more XP for the extra wins.
I don't know. Getting to 100 is really the only part that matters and it isn't exactly a hard feat if you play constructed a few days a week.
No, anything not on the editor isn't really intended for "outside" use atm. Long-term goals are to have a proper knowledgebase for that kind of stuff though.
I am a bit bummed out that it isn't possible to just buy single heroes for like $5. I know that its not in Blizzard's best interest to do that because its quite likely that they'd make less money that way, but damn, it would certainly be nice to have the option.
Maybe at some point in the future, post leaving the shop, they will make them purchasable individually with money or even large sums of gold.
This is my fault that we've got the same thumbnail as the last article we published. I could have been lazy and reused the old thumbnail, but I recreated it. Noticed too late to get it switched out safely and tbh, it was still a good call since Avalon really hates Darkglare and legendary cards just make interesting thumbnails. I'll blame Sinti, who created the thumb for Aesan's article hours before I made this one, because I'm allowed to do that as the ruthless leader. :D
I'm so damn happy about the nerfs. Incanter's Flow, as much as I love the card, was in a stupid spot at 2 mana. Let's make Hearthstone amazing by getting rid of the hardcore mana cheating.
I really want to see a global rule to enforce cards never being able to be reduced below 1 mana. Some mana cheating is good and makes for fun gameplay, a trail of 0-cost cards is bullshit.
I don't believe this is something we're able to fix since this is all on Cloudflare's end. Cloudflare is not a fan of your setup for some reason.
My recommendation would be to try a different browser to see if you have the same problem. Also, oddly enough, with the way SSL stuff works, this could be a computer clock problem. Make sure your timezone and time are correctly set (I recommend syncing with a network time server if that happens to be disabled).
They may not engage in comments or features on most sites, but their community folk definitely do get around the world of Hearthstone and are collecting feedback on the game.
You know, it's really funny considering I am not at all a cheese person. On Pizza? Of course! Anywhere else? Keep your spoiled milk elsewhere!
I realize I probably just received a million haters. Its kind of like the internal OOC staff conflict on whether or not your should eat cereal with milk.
Its always fun sorting through the AMAs, especially so when you're getting consistently awesome new bits of information. I don't know what we'd do if Dean left the Hearthstone team. Celestalon could fill in his shoes, we certainly see enough great tweets from him, but no one else stands out as an AMA king.
I think it could be cool to see a Diablo hero when Diablo 4 launches, but make it a hero skin where Deathwing is dressed up as Diablo instead of the character itself. Or, make it a limited-time hero that comes out with some other flavor item that lasts for a month, like Darkmoon Cards. They could do the same for Overwatch 2 since thats realistically the only other game they have that isn't a part of the Warcraft universe - Starcraft is a dead game seeing as how devs that were a part of it all left the company to form a couple of new studios. Even a Tavern Brawl, the Dark Wanderer brawl was cool, is a great place to do something fun like that.
I would never want to see cross-ip in the main game though, even temporary. As soon as you start drawing Kerrigan, Raynor, Reinhardt, and gang, the Warcraft flavor is gone and I've officially lost interest.
With the number of folks that ask questions, some are going to be missed. Yes, some are going to be skipped, especially if it is something that was asked previously or if Dean has no idea what to answer, but he always seems pretty open and even acknowledged when someone else should be asked a question. I don't think he avoids stuff on purpose.
Also if you did ask a question for the WoW team a while back, that shouldn't be reflected on Dean! WoW team I know also gets so many more questions and has always felt more closed off in what they say so they're always going to hit the topics that they can talk about before they start giving non-answers (though the number of WoW non-answers I've seen over the years... yikes).
I do think for Battlegrounds though, lets wait for the rework that is coming soon and then start asking questions about the mode when we have a better picture of what is going on.
Oh its definitely not but when you see someone play it just for the hell of it after they have 5 cards left and they've definitely won, it just shows how powerful the whole package still is.
I'd love to see them double up on those slots for rewards. I know so many people just don't care about golden cards that it would be a really nice square to give them something.
I think we'll see Mage played less as folks begin to play counter decks, aka RUSH EM GOOD.
Definitely frustrating to play against though. Incanter's Flow is such a stupid card - and I say that as someone that loves to abuse it as Mage. The mana cheating in Hearthstone is just so insane and really, its my only major complaint about the way the game has been designed in recent times.
Quest Mage is still good without it. I've been beat by players who didn't play an IF til much, much later in the game. Its just insane when they Turn 1 Coin+IF followed by IF. Yeah, no point in playing then!
I do think if a nerf does end up needing to happen, they should target IF with a +1 to mana cost. The spell is clearly problematic and I'd hate to go into the Alterac Valley (pls blizz) expansion later this year with it still being the bread and butter of the class. Then when it rotates in March/April of next year, do not unnerf it. Wild players don't deserve to fight against that forever.
That's some pretty slick building! Where's the Hearthstone lego at to combine your previous passion with your new one? :D
Lego is awesome. A few years back I purchased some of the lego trains stuff since it was a childhood dream to have one of them. Being a member of the lego club and getting the magazine every month or two, those damn trains always taunted me. Relegated to a plastic bin because I don't have a dedicated space for them post building, I hope one day I can setup a dedicated room to build out a city, another dream.
Its such a relaxing activity building sets or creating your own stuff with the mix of pieces collected over the years, so congrats on revisiting the hobby!

Mine has a slightly better blend IMO :P
Your mobile client wasn't updated then yet. It has to patch with the latest data before any of that will work.

We do, though it was never ported into our new guides system so it isn't easy to find. We also need to update it with Refund

Bots have already existed in Hearthstone for a very long time using similar methods. This doesn't change anything =)
Nice guide! Upvoted =)
You are most welcome =)

Let everyone that wants to talk about it talk but don't make anyone feel like they have to talk. Respect the choice!
