I am really trying to enjoy the new Twist mode, but the amount of recurring mobile disconnects is extremely annoying. Losing consecutive turns and even games is no fun at all *sigh*
I am also running into the same decks over and over again by the way. I am not suggesting that the meta has already been solved, but people have noticed the pre-launch theorycrafting decks I think.
That is really a bummer indeed. I wonder if the reason to replace Classic was strictly because the user interface did not allow it or whether it was also motivated by a financial one.
The recipe for making this new mode successful is having enough participating players which have to buy old expansion packs if they do not already own them yet.
Hearthstone, the one and only game I play (and have time for).
I am currently dabbling into the other game modes to complete as many achievements as possible whilst passing level 300 on the Rewards Track later today.
I have always been a Diablo fan, but I simply do not have the diskspace to install D4 now, so I will wait awhile and be patient. Perhaps during the next sale, I will finally pick it up together with a new HD or PC ^_^
As linkblade91 mentioned, this intended behavior change was recently introduced in patch 26.0:
Your hero's Health will still be spent when playing a Health-cost card even if your hero has Immune (or Divine Shield). This also no longer counts as "taking damage" for other effects.
Not really convinced it was entirely accidental, but nonetheless a positive twist for fellow HS players who want to collect the DK skin for 1000 gold. Personally, I should have read the quest before deleting it first because I have plenty of gold to spare.
Kind of a separate question, but does anyone else do this? Once I hit 1000 wins, I hardly play that class anymore since I want to get them all to 1000 eventually. Feels a bit silly, since I now have a super sweet portrait to use.
I did this as well in the past, but not anymore. All my classes are above 1600 wins except for Death Knight which is only at 600 wins currently. The gap is really too big and to main a single class in a somewhat stable meta is just too boring for me personally. The 1000 wins DK hero portrait is also not that amazing. The one for Demon Hunter is though.
A Hearthstone podcast staple indeed. The Angry Chicken was my entry point for listening to podcasts and I have followed Jocelyn and Garrett for almost the entire running of TAC. They have incredible chemistry and the episode where Garrett announced his departure, even I shed a few tears. Always sad to see such amazing quality content come to an end, but hey that is life indeed, so true.
Thanks for all the entertainment over the past decade and good luck with the baby!
Anyone actually get any drops? I saw the event notification on his channel and left the stream on for the whole weekend, got no notification in the drops & inventory section on twitch
I am not sure which Twitch channel you "watched", but as I understood from Old Guardian you were supposed to watch one of the 4 casters streams. Since English was my preferred language to listen for, I put on FenoHS's Twitch channel and got my 4 Standard packs (aka 160 arcane dust) after "watching" for 8 hours in total over 2 days.
Sidenote: The Twitch drops page keeps telling me that I have to connect my Battle.net account, but luckily for me I do get the drops because the accounts are connected.
Before the lifeboats get full, I just wanted to say that this site is unique because:
The other sites don't have easy 5-star rating systems for each card and when they DO, it's slow as shit.
Also the site runs smooth in general.
Except for the first 10-15 seconds of every page/section load. Which everyone seems to avoid talking about for whatever reason.
Other than that, yea, it's awesome.
The only thing that doesn't load instantly - at least for me- are the adds. How's your internet connection?
It's very good. Also, it's not that it doesn't load instantly. There's a hugely delayed response (and wrong too) on almost any action you do during those first 15 seconds (e.g. clicking a link opens up something else, and after 10 seconds). There are posts in the site feedback forums, by me and other people, regarding this. No responses, no acknowledgements, nothing. It's like this issue is invisible and we are morons talking to the wind.
I also had these same experiences with a decent internet connection on multiple devices. The issue was like "Voldemort", one does not speak his name 🤭 I have to agree with anchorm4n, today the lagging does seem to be gone, but I still have some reservations. I will check back in after a few more days.
Well, this has to be the saddest Hearthstone related news I have seen this year, so far. Though not entirely unexpected as some of us were wondering what the heck was going on, it was still heavy news to read when the announcement of the announcement dropped.
I sincerely hope that the OoC community (members and experience) is kept alive in whatever shape or form, because I have had a blast since arriving on this wonderful site from the very start and I think it would be a terrible shame if this would disappear altogether.
From a glass half empty POV, consider them plagiarizing your ideas without giving you any credit. Anyways, kudos to you for finally seeing some of your ideas becoming reality which we all get to enjoy and play with soon™.
I haven't given Boss Rush any serious tries yet, partly because I wanted to max my new Undead gang first, and partly because it feels like I'd really have to focus on one comp.
Same here, I am also maxing out my Undead mercenaries first. Just nine more upgrades left, using renown trades only. Afterwards, I hope Old Guardian has figured out the best comp for completing the entire boss rush mode which I will gladly pilot to complete the related achievements with.

Thanks for the info, anchorm4n! I guess I have some more achievement hunting to do 😂

Good question, I hope they get replaced straight up which in my case I do not have to complete them once again, though I doubt I am that lucky.

Infinite wait times in the Battle.net shop. I guess Activision Blizzard does NOT want my money (for the Tavern Pass) after all?
Purchases are possible via the Mobile app, but that would use my own currency instead which is a disadvantage for me.
He can "easily solve" that using the Username Change Request Thread, lol 😂
Lag issues really seem to be part of history now, I have not encountered them for the past couple of days.
@Fluxflashor, You will receive 2 packs after watching a total of 2 hours, not 3 hours. The first pack has to be claimed inbetween though.
My drop timer is already at 80% for the second pack at this moment, so only 20 minutes left to kill the theorycrafting stream, lol 😋
EDIT: Done!

I agree Hearthstone content is nowadays posted fewer and farther between compared than before indeed.
By the way, why did Avalon leave OoC? Does anybody know? I will miss his achievements guides and other things.
