    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.

    So apparently Blizzard messed up again. Yesterday's patch 15.0, that is a preparation for launch of the Saviors of Uldum, already activated the arena reset and new rotation is in (except SoU set). At least in the drafting pool.

    • Basic
    • Classic
    • League of Explorers
    • Journey to Un'Goro
    • Kobolds and Catacombs
    • Rastakhan's Rumble
    • Saviors of Uldum

    Random generation is said to still draw from the "old" sets tho (Basic, Classic, Naxxramas, Whispers of the Old Gods, Goblins VS Gnomes, The Witchwood, and Rise of Shadows) and reward pack for finishing the run is still Rise of Shadows pack.

    Tho someone also reported, that the new Titanic Lackey is already showing up. Another person said, that their Gorillabot A-3 activated its battlecry, even tho he had no mechs on the board. Arena looks like a bloody mess right now!


    Another thing that happened is that some* arena runs were retired. Meaning ppl who had unfinished runs got the free Arena Ticket and whoever was planning on doing so later, in time for the proper arena rotation on August 6th, can no longer do that. Unless they reset the arena again on the 6th, which one would assume will happen, since SoU still needs to be added into the mix.

    If you have gold to spare, id advise you to start a new run right now, if you want to take a chance of the potential second reset that seems like it should happen. But keep in mind, you will draft a deck without SoU cards, so your deck will definitely be weaker when SoU hits if no reset happens, cause many new cards are looking like insane arena powerhouses, you can check our thoughts on the matter here.

    * So far there are mixed reports of who did get and who didnt get his run retired. i did.

    I agree that it is most likely not worth building the deck around it, but it does sound like an amazing add in the new Quest priest.

    Yeah, Whizbang updates every set. Didnt they screw up once and you were able to play new recipes before the new xpac release, since Whizbang got updated during pre-release patch few days early?:D Or am i remembering it wrong?

    I will counter your argument with a 180 - having a downvote system gets rid of a certain level of toxicity. Ppl can voice their disagreement with the comment without having to post "clever" responces to diss the person. I know that you live for those, well, you will just have to deal with that :) Im sure you will get some anyways.

    Quote From doingtheobvious

    Funnily enough, the fact that it continues to draw from a larger and larger pool of beast minions, the card becomes harder to really be predictable and consistent.

    Only two DK cards become harder to be consistent over time. Rexxar for the reasons mentioned and Thrall, Deathseer for the obvious reasons.

    Was it ever really consistent? :) I get your point, but not like you could guarantee to get a poisonous Exploding Bloatbat within 3 tires or something :)

    It is probably golden cards. We dont have golden cards for SoU in our db yet, so when you get a golden card, there is no image for it. We are aware of the issue and hopefully we can provide a fix soon until we have all the golden animations.

    Wild Highlander decks might become even more interesting with addition of Zephrys.

    Yeah, not possible to have both equipped at the same time. And while some of these new quests seem like they will be pretty easy to complete in a timely fashion, it will probably be a question of "can i really start the game with two less cards?". Questing Adventurer helps with this a little bit, but even just one quest and being down a card is usually a pretty big deal.

    Damn, i must admit that in all that hype, i completely forgot about this factor. You are right. It will be interesting to see how much of a factor will Bomb Warrior be.

    My bad, I meant the winrates he gets on average, not that his winrates are average. His winrates far surpass my own, so I'm not dissing!

    All good ;-)
