Quote From YourPrivateNightmareWarrior is the worst one because you can't reliably achieve it before reaching 10-mana and having To the Front available.
I concur, the new Warrior achievement is definitely the worst indeed. I was using this Warrior deck and it took me at least 25 games to complete the achievement.
By the way, it seems the achievement is programmed to accept batches of three as an progression step which means a single Training Session allows multiple ticks towards achievement completion. You have to play To the Front! twice and have enough board space though.
Good luck with achievement hunting! 🍀
EDIT: The Training Session bug which previously worked in our favor now no longer does, unfortunately.
I didn´t really move with Mercs, but since the mode is dying, I guess I just get the last bunch of mercenaries with my free packs and try the new Boss mode.
Yeah, we can just open all previously hoarded Mercenaries packs as a big "unboxing" party since there is no longer need for them in the future. I should have a reasonable chance to "catch" all six new Mercenaries (1 legendary, 4 epics and 1 rare) by opening my last 55 packs. After completing all 18 tasks per new Mercenary, we can open those 18 rewarded packs (in total) as well to collect free portraits. Using renown we can slowly but surely max out these six last Mercenaries which will take quite some time, but I see no reason to speed up this process by doing their bounties over and over again.
Furthermore, I suppose they do not plan to remove the XP completely from this game mode, but I can imagine them downgrading the amount received which makes "farming" this game mode for XP far less appealing.
EDIT: All Mercenaries have been collected. Game over! 🤡
I just passed level 300 and the end of the rewards track is looming ahead.
I also became legend in Classic for the very first and last time, because I just wanted to complete the Back In My Day achievement. This mode is infested with dumb bots and my Control Warrior farmed them all easily to legend.
My Death Knight wins progress is at 440 wins, inching slowly but steadily towards the golden hero portrait and beyond.
Today is Valentine's Day, but even more importantly also the launch day of the Return To Naxxramas mini-set. Hopefully, the new cards will be able to improve the current stale meta.
Now imagine this minion getting support through other means than just Wildheart Guff at this moment after the rotation hits in the new Standard year and your blood will likely start to boil instantly.
Whatever happened to their intentions of printing fewer cards with Charge? This is not even a legendary which means Druid can run two of these in a deck. I can already feel the huge frustation of losing to this minion suddenly out of nowhere.
My first ever and only single time becoming Legend in Classic. The goal was just to complete the Back In My Day ranked game mode achievement.
The climb was very straightforward because the ladder is infested with dumb bots which are easily farmed with this deck. I only encountered a handful of real players on the way to legend which in total took about 88 games.
Yeah, I just created a new support ticket for this. I had contacted them in the past and got mixed feelings/results. It strongly depends on which Game Master picks up your ticket.
Yeah, I did the very same thing. Even though my gold stash allows me to participate in this event many times over, I simply refuse to participate in this "fan favorite" scam brawliseum. I have no hope they will learn anything from the hopefully poor stats of this event.
However, if they are going to touch the mana cost of Battlefield Necromancer, I will flip a small table because it would no longer fit in my Even Unholy Death Knight deck in Wild.
It would be a pity if it does go away though. I have always liked that HSR winrate stats block whenever it was present. Especially, since it can be used as easy navigation to even more stats on the HSR site.
I first assumed that the decks you posted today would be frequently played with sufficient statistics on HSReplay.net and upon checking myself card-for-card at least the Astalor Big Spell Mage deck should show the HSR winrate box if I am not mistaken. If correct, 94000 games played would yield enough data.
None of the cards are from the Core set, so it should also not be a non-unique cards issue, I think.
As for the Even Shaman deck that I posted earlier on OoC, it also does not show the HSR winrate box even though it should be one of if not the most optimized version out there with plenty of wins. Though, since this is a Wild deck, the data is far less compared to Standard decks, so I have to take that into account as well.
Has the partnership with HSReplay.net ended perhaps? The reason why I ask is because I no longer see the plugin above frequently played HS decks any more.
I am currently at level 200 and reached the halfway point on the Rewards Track. Along the ride, I have completed all of the gameplay achievements.
It has been awhile, but I hit legend in both Standard and Wild again in the same season, this time using Evolve Shaman and Even Shaman respectively. The latter Wild deck is super consistent and it almost feels unfair to play it on the ranked ladder.
As for my Death Knight wins progress, I have recorded 361 wins so far. I have decided to NOT waste 1000 gold (or more) for the new Ghoul Queen Scarlet DK hero portrait because it is simply a "scam purchase" without guarantees, even after the requirements change.
Now I am eagerly waiting for the next balance patch and mini-set to arrive whilst steadily adding more DK wins to hopefully get my hands on the free Arthas, Kingslayer hero portrait soon™.
Thanks for the extra snow! It will stay a bit longer in my inventory. I highly doubt I will be as "competitive" again for the next edition, coz I personally feel like there should be more diversity in the list of winners for such a wonderful recurring event.
You are welcome! 😆

How are you doing? 😎

Ok, thanks!
Weird that I seem to have missed this boat. Sucks to be me I guess.

Did this compensation actually happen? I did not receive any random legendary yet despite being eligible.
I have finally reached the 40000 points milestone today, so I wanted to share this achievement with you as an update.
The total amount of achievable points has increased to 46184 points, which means I am now at 87% (rounded up).
If I keep this progression up, I will likely max out at around 90%, because I do not play all Hearthstone game modes.
IMO, if the token becomes a 2/2 it is completely fine. The Risen Ghouls of Army of the Dead are 2/2 as well. The Risen Footman just has Taunt instead of Rush.
However, if they are going to touch the mana cost of Battlefield Necromancer, I will flip a small table because it would no longer fit in my Even Unholy Death Knight deck in Wild.
Hearthstone, no contest whatsoever.
Thanks for the quick fix!
