I'm currently at level 185, which according to my own spreadsheet is at about 59,1% of the whole reward track. Gaining 20 levels each week also applies to my own progress.
I should be still on track to complete the whole damn thing, assuming that the mid-expansion mini-set is located exactly at the 50% mark (which is going to be launched later this week alledgedly).
Btw, I was just wondering how you are going to obtain this mini-set; using either 2000 gold, spending real money ($15) or just by opening MDF packs.
Then I simply misunderstood your first comment: "Just don't assume everyone else in the world shares your opinions." thinking you chose a particular side. My apologies for that.
To summarize, you don't care about XP. I do care and that's the end of our discussion.
This season, I started off piloting an aggresive Kingsbane Rogue list to Platinum and afterwards finished the climb to Legend using a Big Priest deck that has extra healing options (1x Greater Healing Potion and 1x Obsidian Statue). Unless I drew very badly, I had no problems with Secret Mage whatsoever. I know, it's probably considered bad manners, but I didn't even have to beat them down. I simply waited (pass the turn without roping) until they either concede or kill themselves since their damage output cannot handle my recurring healing and taunt capabilities. Ice Block was never an issue for me, it doesn't work anyways on their turn.
I had a bit more problems with Reno Priest though, because a lot of my opponents seemed to curve out the perfect card each turn, especially Lorekeeper Polkelt. To be honest, if only they removed this annoying card from the game, the dominance of Reno Priest is not that big of a deal to me. All other cases, where there was no perfect draw involved by them, I could pressure them enough to win this matchup. I even got a Tie! since that was the best they could get out of that particular match.
I'm familiar with those patch notes where Blizzard pretty much also assumes why players reroll quests.
Sure, they have all the statistics, but I can't help but think since they are ultimately a profit-making company that this was primarily or secondarily (to give them a slight benefit of my doubt) introduced to make it harder to reroll into higher XP (previously gold) daily quests.
It's simple, making it harder to reroll into more XP/gold rewarding quests means players having less XP/gold to spend on buying free packs.
If they also implemented the vice versa; rerolling less XP/gold quests always into more XP/gold quests, I wouldn't be suspicious about this.
Btw, we don't have to agree on this and that was also never my intention. We are just sharing our opinions on this cool forum/fansite 😉
The difference between the easier and slightly more difficult quests is minimal. They recently made quests easier overall, so why not go 1 step further and remove the lowest XP quests altogether which reduces the dillution of the XP quests pool giving us a better chance to reroll into the highest XP quests and get rid of the feels bad. Sounds like a win-win situation to me, even if I might or might not be part of the majority.
Btw, you're basically also assuming the contrary; that the majority of the players that do visit forums or fansites are trying to max out XP gains. I expect this would be more likely true for us, but no one else besides Blizzard knows which camp is bigger than the other. Why did you bring this up and add it into the discussion in the first place?
Personally, I think they want keep some sort of slot machine (gambling) feature inside this game by offering these 3 tiers of XP quests. What I hate is that a low XP quest can get rerolled into another low XP quest. They implemented the always get a lower XP quest from a higher XP quest behavior, but rerolling to get a same tier XP quest is the ultimate feel bad regarding quests. Especially, since you pointed out how very few low XP quests there are, this feels even worse.
I do not want to repeat my test situation here specifically, but by having rerolled with a handful of F2P accounts for the past 2 years up until yesterday; I have noticed that the highest tier XP quests are super-ultra-gold-foiled-premium-legendary rare to reroll into. It seems that their appearance are even lower now than they used to be before the reward track was introduced.
Btw, the fact that they still did not implement the always show the increase XP progress bar after each game played, seems to me that are unwilling/not-caring/incapable of adding proper quality of life changes to this game. Why do we still need to keep revisiting the journal to witness our XP progression within the same level? Just unbelievable!
EDIT: Forget to mention that I really enjoyed reading this well-written and informative 5-stars article, kudos! 👍
Another minor OCD issue I have is that my gold total ends with a '5'. Except for Arena (which I dislike), there are no other modes that reward '5' gold. I only create an Arena deck per rotation to get a free pack and refund tavern ticket.
This problem is also relevant for my total dust count 😅
I'm at level 100, halfway to 101 as of today. I like the fact that I can get a level or two a day with the daily and a little bit (or more, for two) of play time.
Same here, but I still wonder if the old system of 3 wins rewarding 10 gold is better or worse. What do you think?
I'm happy the feature already was implemented before I asked. The GUI should be self explanatory (which it currently is), so if the extra buttons are added there is little need to read the documentation.
I mean, how often (me: almost never) do we all read the manual when buying a new gadget/appliance anyways? 😋

Should it be hidden still? 😉

I do not play Legends of Runeterra, but... I see word search puzzle, so I complete word search puzzle!
Rewarded with 2½ snowballs, wondering who to throw them onto now 😋

I just reached level 160, still 190 levels (or 9500 gold) to go. Meta feels really stale now, I doubt the nerfs will change very much.
Hopefully, the mini set arrives soon, so we can calculate how many packs should be opened to collect at least all the epics, rares and commons.
How are you progressing on the reward track?
I know, it's definitely not the most popular deck out there, but it got the job done for me once again with a 10* bonus.
It has quite decent matchups against the current Tier 1 decks, which are Raza Priest and Secret Mage. Against the rest, this deck is favored.
KA-ME-HA-ME-HA-SNOWBALL !! ❄️
Yeah, and of course I returned a freshly squeezed snowball of my own to ya... whilst waiting😄
Btw, did I miss the New Years' items? Or perhaps the memo that they are delayed?
