    Sorry to crash the conversation, but wasn't Blackhowl Gunspire technically a building? I say that but I could be very wrong..

     

    Technically, sure :) There were many jokes at the time about attacking with said building when you silence it :)

    Seems like it can fit into Big Priest easilly. Speaking of, i wonder how will Reborn minions count towards Diamond Spellstone, would Reborn and non-Reborn copy be considered a unique minion?:o Probably not i guess.

    Moved to Class Discussion/Shaman.

    Cute deck. I picked Blubber Baron few times in arena, when there was literally no better options, you can imagine it wasnt very good :D But it is a fun card, thats for sure.

    Are you sure about this? Since the rotation already happened... i

    They messed up, some runs were retired, some werent. But SoU still needs to be added, so there should be another reset at least because of that. So i would advise you to leave a run unfinished to get the ticket.

    This topic serves as an information hub about the current (and past) Arena rotation.

    With the first expansion in Year of the Dragon, Rise of Shadows, rotating drafting pool for Arena was introduced. Card sets are selected from both Standard and Wild. Prior to this, Arena was using Standard-only drafting pool. Now drafting pool for Arena changes every few months.

    I think we might eventually get something like "trinkets", that can either have passive aura-like effects or be something like a second hero power. Unless the development of 0-attack weapons continues and keeps that part of design in this area.


    add buldings: iv seen several ppl in the past trying to implement building type card into the HS and i dont think iv ever liked any variation of what i saw. My biggest strife with such a design is the inability to interact with "gathering resources" from the other player's side. It was usually understated minions or overcosted spells that were supposed to provide resources (wood) for the tempo loss. But the opponent could never interact with that part of the play, nor did the game mechanics. You would just play out your cards, get enough resources and then when you had enough, played the structure card and reap the benefits. That is a very one dimensional playstyle with zero interaction from the other side of the board that just seems wrong to me.


    Not to mention that introducing a new card type will probably have to be done for all 9 classes at once. Even if it didnt have to be like that from game mechanics or balance standpoint, i dont think community would survive that and there would be too much of an outcry.

    With that said, it is not easy to come up with something new you can casually implement for every class. I believe HS is far from reaching its full potential or running out of ideas, but given the fact how the game is structured - and lets not forget about the catering to the mobile client above many things - designing new, meaningful card types that would make sense and were possible to implement throughout the entire spectrum is no easy task.

    Hi, Jagu, yes iv won one of the previous giveaways simply by chance. I threw my hat in the ring, same as anyone else and had like 0,5% of winning or something. I was just one of many and lady luck smiled on me. There was nothing goin on in the background and no preferential treatment.

    Winners of giveaways were always publicly announced in the past and this time it will be no different. The contact via PM/email is for obvious reasons, to get their info where to send the reward.

    We do apologize that it is taking us this long to draw the winners and announce it, i agree we should have at least let you guys know that there would be a delay. It wasnt handled ideally and we r sorry for that. Hopefully we can get it resolved asap to everyone's satisfaction.

    Since there is a card back for pre-ordering the PVE content, and as Enk said, one of the devs already mentioned that it will follow the same format as RoS, i think we can pretty much expect a very similar setting to Dalaran Heist.

    Semi related to topic card search needs alot of work 

    first there should be basic dropdown for std, wild or all  its pretty impossible to search stuff

    second pretty much no one searches for race(blood elf, tauren vs..) it should be replaced with tribe(like beast, mech, vs)

    third remove unrelated stuff like family

    cost attack needs less than, equal to vs (i dont remember the card thats why im searching)

    last there should be a card image view option

    Yes, we know. All of that an more already on to-do list. But reveal period took a lot of time from the backend, so we had to prioritize. All of this is coming tho ;-)

    It is probably not a bug.  It is likely they did this on purpose to give you a small piece of the new expansion.  They have done things comparable in the past with Marin the Fox and Archmage Vargoth.  While the latter cards are legendary, at least it is something to tide you over for the next few days until release.  Also worth noting is that they implemented this on the 2nd day of the season as opposed to the 31st day of the season so nobody gets butthurt about their ranking!

    Oh you give them too much credit. It is 100% a fail, but obviously if they ever admit it, they will spin it as a feature. They messed up arena among other things too, this patch had many failures :)

    Yeah, there's a few things not being displayed on achievements atm that will be in the future.

    Hi there, I'm having - what seems like - a bug with the achievement related to setting up my profile.
    Is it possible that I have fulfill every conditions prior to the site achievement implementation? Or maybe I'm missing something.
    Thanks in advance for the feedback

    The problem is that "Create an account" requirement is set incorrectly, so it does not trigger, thus Getting Started achievement cannot be completed atm. If you've done everything else, once this issue is resolved, you should get the achievement.

    Yeah, this situation is not great atm. We are aware of this, it will be handled for the next xpac, we need to figure out how to better display all these things in the deck widget, for now, just bear with us.

    I have the patch downloaded and my run hasn't been retired? So maybe it depends on the person?

    BTW do arena resets now for a free ticket? 

    They do on each rotation, started in RoS. During that time there were two rotations and both gave the ticket. This fucked up rotation now gave me a ticket as well.

    I totally forgot about it tbh I just saved gold to play arena post rotation.. Damn

    Well, i was planning on making a reminder post today, we should had still have plenty of time. But i wake up and see this mess lol ... well, at least i made a recap post, to make ppl aware if nothing else :)

    That being said, i would bet they will reset it again on the 6th, but cant be 100% sure after this.
