  • With the recent nerf patch, here comes an opportunity for anyone who was around One Night in Karazhan era and claimed at least The Prologue, but havent bought the rest of the adventure yet, to jump on a great deal! If you buy first and second wing to get to Barnes, you can "buy" dust with gold at a premium rate at almost half its normal cost this way (compared to avg dust per pack).

    If you want a simple explanation, think about it this way, you pay 1400 gold for a legendary (and a half) of your choice. Not a bad deal if you ask me.

    Also, if you dont own any part of the adventure yet, the only option to get it is to use real money and buy the entire adventure - and you get an even sweeter deal for it! See calculation below.

    Note: You must have reached at least rank 25 in Ranked Play to be able to open the adventure.


    1st Wing: The Parlor (620 dust)

    2nd Wing: The Opera (1940 dust)


    Calculation

    Buy 1st and 2nd wing with gold

    • Dust total = 2560
    • Cost in gold = 1400
    • Avg dust per 100 gold = ~183
    • Avg dust per 1 pack (source) = ~100

    Buy entire adventure for $20 (equivalent of '15 pack bundle')

    • Dust total = 4150 (2950 + 1200)
    • Cost in gold = 1500
    • Avg dust per 100 gold = ~272
    • Avg dust per 1 pack = ~100

    And if you decide to keep any of the cards, the dust gain increases that much more. Only downside is, you have to play out the adventure to get the card rewards, but is that really a downside? The adventure is quite good!

    edit: After some calculations, if i am right, you can actually get almost three times your money worth of the dust value, if you buy with real money. Damn. Everyone who can should probably buy this lol!

  • Oh shiet, Blessed Champion, took you only 5 years to be viable. Slow and steady wins the race!

  • I like the idea of generating dragons out of thin air for "if you're holding a dragon" synergy. Tho the token should cost 1 mana, paying 4 mana to play a 2/2 is beyond abysmal.

    PS: Make your cards (images) smaller, ideally 200-220 in width, since we dont have spoiler function implemented yet, having a lot of cards with large images is very off-putting to the reader.

  • You did good with the class :)

  • Fair enough, thanks for testing :)

  • 1) is definitely planned.

    2) is already there :)

  • Known issue is that sometimes the editor deletes last character in a sentence, but not entire paragraphs of text. Something else must be going on.

    What device are you using?

    Also can you provide link to a comment that has been affected by this?

    Thanks.

    you might as well put a completely different card in the deck that will help prevent the damage taken in a first place better

     

    Like what? What do you have in mind?

    I dont know, Tar Creeper? Lone Champion? Mind Control Tech? Could be anything to help with early game and/or combat the board, since that was your argument. But if you like Jinyu and it is working out for you, then keep it :)

    Sorry, I didn't specify. I was looking for how to tag a card but to have the text be different from the card's actual name. For example, referring to Raza the Chained as simply Raza, but have it link to the appropriate card page.

    Add attribute "text" to the bbcode, so instead of [Hearthstone Card (you write [Hearthstone Card (. (minus the empty spaces, but it wont show without them as a regular text)

    testing. . .

    [card text="4 mana 7/7]flamewreathed faceless[/card]

    I can't get it right. help?

    You're missing the end quotation marks. its text="bla bla"

    Also, I just followed your simple explanation for adding the deck to my signature. Thanks for that!

    Have you tho?:) Looks like the regular bbcode, not the fancy kind :) But if you like the regular one better, thats ok.

    Here's my first shot at trying a "minion" version of strongholds. I honestly have no clue what I'm doing, lol. I think I like the "quest" idea better, but I still can't figure out how to design their ability to be removed without making it some sort of insta-win if your opponent doesn't have those specific cards in their deck. For example, let's say I made one defeatable by playing a card like a dragon or elemental. If they don't have one of those cards, I'm perfectly safe and they don't stand a chance.

    Do you mean Silver Hand Recruit?:)

  • Quote From Pezman

    I checked out this guide, and I still can't understand how to do it. I'm not too savvy when it comes to code. Is there another way to explain it?

    When you copy bbcode of a deck (there is a button for it on a deck's page), this is what you get . And if you input it in a text editor, when you publish your post, this is how it looks like:

    Now, if you change the bbcode's text to , this is how the deck displays now:

    by Pezman 6 years, 3 months ago
    4 15620 15620 2373 5

    You can fit two of these in your signature at once.

  • Quote From ArchSpike

    I found in terms of healing, Antique Healbot is more reliable and capable of burst heals in the lategame.

    Definitely have to agree with this. I used to run Jinyu as well when i used to play Jade Shaman for exactly the same reason, better body, and even some overload synergy (i had Tunnel Troggs), but at the end of the day, you put that card in to heal yourself and if you cant guarantee that out of Shudderwock, you might as well put a completely different card in the deck that will help prevent the damage taken in a first place better. Healbot is imho a vast superior option, since it is guaranteed.

  • In Yogg we trust!

  • Linecracker has nothing on you! Cool TTK :D

  • Great idea with the Peddler, where is Edwin tho? Seems like the coins r kinda pointless otherwise. I mean sure, there will always be use for them, but like you could have put better cards in the deck too. I feel like i dont have any space in my Thief Rogue and there are so many cards id like to put in lol, dont feel like i could justify coins without Edwin.

  • Do you mean "Last Deck Comments" feature on hpwn? We could maybe add that as another tab to "From Forums" widget, tho maybe then we should rename the widget :) It will most likely be a thing down the line either way, we just want to figure out how to best display it without overcrowding the home page.

  • Quote From Sevault

    This card was not even remotely problematic, and it was so important to the fabled Zoo Priest, which never quite materialized but could have next expansion. Why, Blizzard? 

    To be honest, gettin the buff on a 1-drop was always so strong. And i know this will be irrelevant for 95% of playerbase, but i love the nerf for arena. It was almost an auto-win situation when that happened and it wasnt even that hard. Always reminded me the old Velen's Chosen power level when played on curve on a 2-drop, was very hard to lose from that position. With Extra Arms, you could have done it turn earlier.

  • Im impressed they decided to not hold on to 7-cost for Dr. Boom, which was part of its original flavor.
