Attributes of a roguelike game:

Quote From WarNerve

Blizzard wants me to spend $30-$130 on a game they have shown no enthusiasm for since the lackluster announcement. This would lead one to believe the product will be sub-standard upon official release and only …

I think red for Warrior (tank), blue for Mage (caster), green for Hunter (DPS) is the most immediate and important association for players of Hearthstone and WoW.

The secondary association with the Pokémon type match-ups is a useful way …

There are several reasons Secret Paladin is the top deck right now. Warlock is one of them.

I agree -- I'm excited about the mode and disappointed at the lack of information.

At the very least, I'd love a run-down of all the abilities and equipment. Even if the exact numbers are subject to change, it …

That's a bit self-contradictory. If losing is not fun and people are playing to win, then they ARE playing to have fun.

Awesome! Thank you very much.

I know Mercenaries is still a few weeks away, but there are already a couple of threads in General.

When does it get its own section in Game Modes?

I get at least 2 out of 3 every time even though I hate it.

If it were actually fun, wouldn't more people do it all the time, not just when quests tell them to?

There's not enough added value in the pre-order, anyway. One free merc with a fancy portrait in each bundle is not reason enough to spend money on a new game mode.

And that's from someone who's actually excited for …

No specific predictions, but I suspect the mini-expansion cards will either be mostly ineffectual or will actually make things worse.

If the next round of nerfs actually takes care of some problems, there's a chance the mini-set cards will …

Games are still lasting until turn 5 in Wild? What gives? You guys are barely keeping up with Standard!

Even if you play around it, eating your Coin gives the Paladin a huge advantage.

What you're saying about Free-to-Play games is entirely correct, but the idea that weeding out players that won't pay a dime is a good idea is ridiculous. Blizzard has no idea why any individual …

Quote From meisterz39

Or maybe they'll all end up costing gold, thus alienating any F2P player who might enjoy the mode but sees it as a risk of a crucial resource for other modes they already play.

…

Honestly, I'd rather just take them out of the game. If you change them enough to make them reasonable, the people who used to like them are going to be upset anyway. Just scrap the whole thing like Genn and …

These are nowhere near as interesting or satisfying as getting the Lucid Nightmare mount in WoW.

Fabulous card back, though.

Quote From dapperdog

Im assuming that this is a pack of mercs to be used immediately on purchase so anyone who swipes his or her credit card gets an early advantage in battle on top of a likely exclusive …

On one hand, I had no trouble absorbing the information in the reveal video, and I think it's weird that everyone has been acting so confused.

On the other hand, people obviously are confused, so Blizzard clearly failed to …

[quote from="Author"]The current meta is less polarizing, statistically, than most.[/quote]

If this is true, it only shows how unhealthy the game is most of the time. (And I don't doubt it.)
