I guess I haven’t been playing much the last few days. But was the Reader nerf really THAT damaging to Token Druid? Yes it is the major draw engine, but that deck can sometimes win off other crazy starts and without the draw, right?
This event is important to both characters so it’s not really cheap, but not clever either. More like necessary.
And buying the bundle for the skin and it’s value are all completely completely relative in my opinion. If someone is a gaming completionist, they’ll still want it. If someone really likes the portrait and cares about cool cosmetics, they’ll want it. If you don’t care about cosmetics but think it’s a nice portrait, you’re me and probably going to pass.
Same! Something about his ”Huh, Greetings!” But I use him more ever since I hit the 500 wins mark (Thanks, Bomb Warrior!). But it’s also weird thinking I don’t use him due to his brash personality, so instead I use Mr “I AM THE END OF ALL THINGS!” 😂
Just curious, does this Garrosh have any unique voice lines? I know they were planning on updating Scholar Jaina and Tin Can Uther, and Warsong Rexxar maybe had two or three unique lines. Did they get lazy again with Garrosh or are any of his new?
You could potentially use the Dormant keyword for A F Kay. Or you could give her a slightly different effect like "When summoned, this minion can not attack the following turn." So it's like she's there, but can't do anything the turn after you play her. Doing this would give the opponent the chance to trade though, but same would be true how you have it now or with Dormant once she wakes and has summoning sickness for a turn.
Given how aggressive AF Kay is once she starts paying attention in the solo content, you could make her a 2 mana 4/4 with "Dormant. Charge." Too much?
So if I'm looking at the current XP requirements correctly, if you are lvl 45 with about 1/3 of the xp you need to get to level 46, then Congratulations! You will get to pick your lvl 50 rewards hero portrait tomorrow!
I don't know if they've really flopped so much as the decks that could use them are oppressed by the dominance of other decks/archetypes. The meta is just way too aggro to allow for high cost and slow strategies. But they each have their own potential to have successful decks if the meta shifts with either a) nerfs, or b) the mini set. And of course, if you aren't worried about winning all the time and just want to have fun, new Yogg is always a great time no matter the outcome! I am getting a little discouraged though because I've gotten Rod of Roasting more times than I could tell you and have STILL not won a single Rod roll... :(
You never know, they might be more prominent come set rotation in April. And I am actually really loving the new Y'Shaarj in a Wild Mill Lock, getting multiple free Tickatus and upgraded Cascading Disasters is great in the late game, even if I've already burnt my opponent's entire deck away! Getting two free "destory 3 enemy minions" cards late against Big Priest has been especially wonderful.
I’m hoping these will retroactively apply, but who knows!
Right now these rewards are packs, but they are surrounded by 150 gold sacks. So I guess they realized after I and probably many others suggested that packs that cost 100 gold to buy as rewards between 150 gold sacks seemed a bit underwhelming.
A slight variation of the deck from a friend, Merman. He friended me after losing to the above deck and asked to try the deck out, being that he is a Warlock main. He came back with some edits in hopes of making the deck more competitive. I tried telling him it's not about winning but destroying hopes and dreams (and decks). But nevertheless, his version is still good. Honestly about even in win rates for me.
Thanks for the spotlight on the Warlock deck. I've got another slight variation on that from my new friend Merman, who friended me after I whooped him with the list above. Being a Warlock-main he wanted to try the deck, came back with some edits. Both decent, but mine is honestly more for the fun of burning about 10-15 cards or more. His list he is trying to win! Where's the fun in that?! :)
I’ve said this before, and even on the official HS forums, but the system could be vastly improved by 1 or 2 small changes.
1) Bring back 100 gold/day for wins. What I suggested on the official forums was actually just making it 5 gold/win, making it 20 wins/day to cap out instead of 30.
2) Give a little boost to quest XP; or, hand out daily quests at 12 am AND 12 pm Blizz time (or whatever time for each region). XP increase helps make progression faster and therefore feels more rewarding like Blizz said the system would. However, option 2 of having 2 daily quests per day also works towards increased player engagement like they wanted from the “time played” XP. If you play more often and grind out quests, you get rewards. If you miss playing a day you might miss out on 1 or 2 quests based on when timing. However, you could stop with no quests, come back with 3... it’s still like you got one more quest than before even if you didn’t play for a bit!
These suggestions wouldn’t likely get us to the final version of the track, but could boost it immensely while they figure out if it works that way or if there is another iteration that works better.
But I’m not a game designer, or a marketer. So what do I know.
Having a ton of fun today with a Control Mill Lock in Wild, getting closer and closer to Legend with it. Just took down an Even Shaman who unfortunately for him played a naturally occuring Octosari as his last card after I had pretty much sealed the game and burned 15 of his cards with multiple Tickatus and a Gnomeferatu. Poor lad!

I'm torn because I like the portrait, but I don't want to buy it... But I want it...
As you should when playing ANY Priest deck. :)
Just curious, does this Garrosh have any unique voice lines? I know they were planning on updating Scholar Jaina and Tin Can Uther, and Warsong Rexxar maybe had two or three unique lines. Did they get lazy again with Garrosh or are any of his new?
Is that new? Don't remember that from before.

Hello, my fellow one pack friend! Ha! Oh... :(
I think that I'm more sad that I almost picked Monsanto and didn't... But I should have.
I’m hoping these will retroactively apply, but who knows!

And what’s wrong with wanting everything free and handed to us?!?! GOSH!!!
:D
I was hoping they’d bring back the 100 daily gold for wins, but make it 5g/win.

No, that one’s easy! Just an OP Demon Hunter card with flavor text about leaving opponents with a bloody face
“Hey! Should we do something about this rewards system and all the mad players out there?”
”Well, we could dangle some flashy prizes in their faces!”
”... YEAH!!! Sounds great! Should fix everything.”
