Great point re: achievements. I am ignoring logic and fun right now, grinding [card]Greybough[/card] in Druid and play sub-optimal corrupt cards all over the place. Failing at the ladder, but leveling up - I guess?

I am in nearly the same camp - I will probably be level 33, maybe even close to 34, by the end of today thanks to the weekly quests and my OCD need to complete them in the first day.

I agree - great article and cool stats to see. 

I think that's how they'll nerf that card too (reducing the mill quantity) - I played a few hours last night of standard ladder at the Diamond 5 level and I faced 80% plus Y'Shaarj warlocks. That card being played …

My thoughts exactly. Normally I would be excited for drops (if they had them)

I can get behind this - I have been spamming sub-optimal decks all week just to check off some of the XP rewarding quests. Have not moved beyond Diamond 5, 2 stars. You're welcome, people trying to climb to Legend.

Another one to add to the list above - you can complete the Shaman [card]Grand Totem Eys'or[/card] quest chain (several hundred XP for buffing totems) in duels too. If you use the upgraded hero power, it often generates Eys'or as …

I agree that it's a shame that feature isn't included currently. I suspect/hope that they'll add it in a later patch because the player base will demand it.

I bought the Tavern Pass on the day it was released so I have had the boost for almost all my game play since the new system started.

I am a daily player, but I don't track my hours …

I just realized something disappointing about the new system and the “gold value” of the “challenge a friend” quest- if you do that quest when you’re above level 50, you are essentially gaining 1/3 of the 150 gold for the …

Does anyone know: does playing casual duels and tavern brawl award experience? From my limited experience on day 1 of the new system, it appears not. I tried to complete the “play three games as a demon hunter“ quest in …

Some (few) achievements give rewards of XP, not just points.

I got those notices too, but no packs. I think the Legendary quests were from Duels, which as you said: people who pre-ordered already got them. I also saw the quest with the legendary and the classic packs, but have …

I agree - that part isn't explained at all. I guess** you get slightly more "per game/hour" if you win?

As always, thanks for having all the news that's fit to print on this site!

Correct.

I appreciate this analysis. 

I thought the same for the pre-order (that it included the Tavern Pass), because the mega bundles in the recent pass had included something Blizzard called the "Tavern Pass (previously Arena tickets + BG Perks)". I was disappointed when I …

Sorry, what I meant was: will there be another quest/quests available when the patch hits (versus the "old" one that I get when the server ticks over at 12pm Pacific tonight).

The big question for me is: will there be new weekly/daily quest(s) available when the patch goes live? I hope so.
