If find that using Dr.Boom make everything more easy: deck are thin so just keep putting bombs into their one until they blow up.
Especially when you get to the penultimate boss, whose entire Hero power is a passive mill of both decks.
That can actually backfire hard, if he is burning the bombs instead of drawing them :D but i guess once he is in fatigue its a guaranteed win, if you didnt manage to get it by then.
BEEEES!!! (1): Basically Shadow Bolt, but can be better. Also druids dont have much decent removal, so this is a big deal for druid in arena.
Weaponized Wasp (3): If you can activate it then its basically Fire Elemental level broken, probably more. But the condition is quite hard for arena, so it will most likely be just an understated 3-drop. Maybe we will get more Lackey generators for shaman or neutral ones, then this could rise in value.
Impbalming (2): Blastcrystal Potion was a premium removal in arena. This is pretty much the same, but with a different downside. Worse one, but not an immediate one. Id expect this card to perform well.
Earthquake (1): Super premium board clear. Volcano was amazing and it wiped your board as well, so the duality does not mean much (would be beyond insane, if it didnt touch your board lolo). The fact that the damage is split in two waves makes it so you can clear tokens like for example after you kill Eccentric Scribe, which is amazing.
We've got achievements done and they'll be coming out this week. Notifications are up next so expect them real soon! I know how important they are to help direct people to active discussions and content, I regret not launching the site with them.
Notifications definitely are important and I am behind this 100%....but can we please not have achievements?
It's probably too late to ask at this point, but honestly it detracts from being in a community. The only people who find the need for achievements are the same people who derive personal value from their XBOX Live gamerscore. I mean to be perfectly honest, they weren't even achievements in the full sense of the word. Hell, beating Gears of War 3 on hard actually has more merit to it then "create a deck with Deathwing in it".
I have to disagree with you though I applaud the courage to stand up for what you believe in.
Achievements encourage interaction on the website which helps bolster the community more than anything. I've personally witnessed what they can do for a website and the love our community members have for them which is why they were a top priority. I think it is important that we can showcase how active someone has been on a site in a way that isn't just post count, even if some of the achievements are silly.
Ultimately it is a system designed for fun and if it isn't something you're interested in, you aren't required to participate - much like how we don't force people to click on fan creations content on the homepage. I think people who loved achievements before will really like what we've done with them here.
Thanks Flux. I can understand that entirely, and to some degree I think achievements can be at least fun; I just get concerned that it becomes another form of gatekeeping (reddit karma, instagram follows, # of achievements). It sometimes comes to the point where I've seen people reject the opinions of others just because they dont have enough achievements, or because they just joined the site <X> days ago.
That's the only place my concern came into play. We'll see how it pans out here too.
This was never a problem before (on hpwn), and when someone did dismiss a user, it was usually when they had a low post count; and new or very old account, and these ppl were just being jerks for all the wrong reasons and they would be jerks no matter what. I dont think iv ever seen someone dismissing another person due to not having enough achievements on the site to be honest.
I can see how xbox gamescore or something like that on a different platform could make you worry about this, but from our past experience, i think we should be safe in this regard (knock on the wood).
It‘s a little cheap to call it a three weeks long event imo. We get the quests only for 7 days and after that it‘s just a tavern brawl with some backstory and a little added complexity.
Imagine, they would add some blackrock mountain cards to standard for this timespan!? Maybe even Emperor Thaurissan...? Or Rag itself?
Still, i like this stuff! People stay involved, free packs (i‘ll never complain about those) and the world quest for the card reveal is some next level shit! A total counter would be amazing, not even speaking about Highscores...
Well, you do get a chance to get golden card as a reward from each tavern brawl plus SOU packs, so while it might seem cheap, they are not lying.
I mean "free" packs are free packs, but i find this artificial bloating of viewership as a rather dishonest practice. Id rather they made the tournaments interesting to watch by making the game itself more interesting, not buying views with packs lol ...
I think iv identified the problem, or at least one part of it: you have to be logged in on the site, then no error. Obviously it shouldnt matter if you are logged in or not, we will have to fix that, but you can work around it this way for now, sorry for any inconvenience!
I get a Server Error 500 when clicking any of the news from the front page or any deck (from front page as well as "Decks" section). Is it just me? Tried from home and work and different browsers, devices and cleared caches in between.
Edit: Nevermind, right after posting this everything started working fine again...
Hi, could you tell us what device and browser were you using? We are experiencing this bug again mostly on Chrome rn, will get it fixed hopefully soon, but more info is always good, thanks!
The Malfurion DK really is not going to work with the Quest though, I mean he brings his own Hero Power replacing the passive and since the quest is slow in itself - imo not a situation like with Rexxar and Zul'jin where you would want to run both for a long game
It will work in a sense that it will summon 4 minions, but it is kinda counter-productive in a way that it changes your hero power again, yes.
That being said, maybe Jade Idol will be the card that makes this quest worthwhile.
I am referring to a PC ... the three bar on the top right are there but there is no forum link
How are you seeing a mobile view on PC? Do you have small screen resolution or are you maybe in fact on tablet?
The "PC view" should have a regular nav menu, where if you click on "Forums", it will send you to Forums page.
"Mobile view" has 3 tabs (News/Decks/Forums) where you can go Forums tab > scroll a bit > click More Recent Threads, if you wish to see ... more recent threads. If you wish to get to the actual Forums page, you have to go via the "hamburger" menu and select Forums from there (can be tricky to scroll all the way down on some devices).
If you are on tablet or are using small screen resolution or dont have your browser maximized for some reason, then the adaptive design of the site changes the "PC view" to a "semi-mobile view" (this is the worst option as of now, not very optimized) and you have to go via the hamburger menu again, but it can be tough to actually scroll all the way down to the Forums with submenus automatically opening.
So ... which one of these situations looks like yours? Maybe also add some screenshots of what you (dont) see on your screen and specify your device and browser ur using so we can identify the problem, thanks.
It doesnt activate the Villain tho, correct?
Yeah, you have to do it in one sitting and choosing treasures or even playing ladder in the meantime still counts toward the 40/60 minute goal.
That can actually backfire hard, if he is burning the bombs instead of drawing them :D but i guess once he is in fatigue its a guaranteed win, if you didnt manage to get it by then.
I legit expected this to say dust it lol. Interesting deck. Probably too slow, but can be fun :)
BEEEES!!! flavor text should have read"Sting like a butterfly, float like a bee!" :) And yes, in this order!

Priest does not have a board clear in the core set ... poor Holy Nova, nobody likes you :(
Im looking forward to this!
Good idea, but this is something that might happen down the line, not right now ;-)

Hell yeah!
It is a cool idea, but i very much doubt we will see anything like that. It just isnt what this game is about, but one can dream :)
