It's always funny how many people bitch about how much card generation has ruiend the game, but then none of them bother to play Classic because know damn well that a strict 30 card deck every game is boring as fuck.

well then how about you come up with a plan on how to do it, because clearly you are convinced that it's possible in the first place.

Yes, fast decks are historically easier to pilot than slower ones and thus often have a higher winrate. Why do we have to go through this every time.

You can easily play a heal heavy Priest deck that just grinds them all to dust, but you're gonna get shafted by Warlock 100% of the time (unless they fuck up) …

Well...that got really dark.

So apparently the Discord solved it by now. The puzzle essentially has two stages. A warm-up stage to introduce the concept and a second stage with multiple phases that is truly diabolical.

I'd recommend checking out the solutions in the discord itself, it's a bit hard to sum up, but basically the first step involves adding attack, health and …

Anybody make progress on the 2nd puzzle yet?

You get a board full of minions of different tribes on one side, and on your side a single mystery minion flanked by two copies of the opposing minions that seem to be selected randomly and change everytime the puzzle resets.

You have a hand full of cards that you …

oh so that's why it did that after you completed the first step.

I was wondering what the lore was supposed to be there, but it's literally just a direction to the next part.

My only hope is that if there are some well designed original characters in Mercs they also make it over to regular Hearthstone because they'd be wasted there.

because it's aa pointless effort. You nerf one broken thing in wild and another one takes its place.

People were crying about Secret Mage for years and now, all of a sudden it completely fell off the map The mode is unpredictable and would need a ton of effort to ever bring into any state of balance. It's just …

Good nerfs for Standard. Handlock will still be very strong but at this point it can't really cheese the bad matchups with Giants nearly as efficiently so it should eventually drop to an appropriate winrate. Stealer OTK is dead hopefully.

Problem is, this does nothing for Wild and if I have to deal with a whole expansion of Wild …

You have to Moonfire the Priestess I think

Unfortunately the puzzle seems to be even more confusing than the last ones. No directions or hints whatsoever on what you're actually supposed to do.

My only guess is that you have to make it so all the weird portal thingies have matching health on both sides. Killing a portal resets the puzzle, using the hero power swaps the …

as funny as that would be it's also impossible since solving the riddle gives you the ?-card to initiate the puzzle. Can't get that if your hand is full.

Kind of awkward to have Heathstone and gamemodes that are also Hearthstone but different.

Feels like the Menu design is just outdated at this point and needs a general overhaul. Only so much you can do with 4 buttons

I'll try to find some clues, but if it's some big brain 4D chess riddle that requires a degree in economics to complete I'll just wait for the walkthrough

But that's the thing though...you'd have to nerf a whole bunch of other cards that are individually unproblematic but when you combine them with the win condition of the quest you suddenly end up with an S-Tier meta rapist.

In Standard however, it's absolutely everything except the Quest itself that's the problem, most of which has been sufficiently addressed …

Well, at least the OTK build should be sufficiently dead.

Giant nerf is literally just an apology since they should have done it like that the first place. Should definitely make it easier to outpace the Handlock version now.

I guess they'll just have to ban the Warlock Quest from Wild entirely, I doubt it can ever be …

Poor woman looked so done with everything the entire time. It's like she knew this would backfire spectacularly.

I'm gonna be charitable here...if this is just a ploy to milk the barely-sentient whales who are so deep in the instant-gratification loop that you can sell them just about anything, then I'm fine with it, because at the very least it's going to rake in cash meaning we won't have to worry about them trying to monetize the main …
