Microsoft Closing Four Bethesda Studios Adds to Games Industry Layoffs

I feel sorry for the developers. Redfall flopped, but Hi-Fi Rush made it on to a lot of game of the year lists. And in the case of Redfall, it seems it was another victim of trend chasing (everything must …

Hearthstone's 10th Anniversary, Negative Player Reception, And Where We Go From Here

It's ultimately about adding value to GamePass, isn't it? I'd subscribe to GamePass if it would give me a full HS collection to play with. I don't think there is much overlap between HS and CoD players, so having both …

Hearthstone's 10th Anniversary, Negative Player Reception, And Where We Go From Here

I play since Open Beta have all cards I need, have a few k gold and over 100.000 dust. The game became 100% free to play for me since years.

You must be putting in a lot …

Hearthstone's 10th Anniversary, Negative Player Reception, And Where We Go From Here

I had hoped that with the acquisition completed, they would be under less pressure to monetize, but things have only gotten worse since then.

The more I think about it, the more it becomes clear that quitting the game …

Blizzard's Known Issues for Hearthstone's 29.2 Patch

It all feels planned: first triple the requirements for +20% XP, then bring it down to double (*) but still only give +20% XP. Make it sound like they caved in to community backlash while still significantly worsening the economy …

Blizzard's Known Issues for Hearthstone's 29.2 Patch

There is no way I can complete these in one week. With the old weekly quests I already didn't always manage to complete them before the week ended.

I'm seriously considering whether I should quit the game. I don't …

[card]Unstable Evolution[/card] on the Charge side is very nice, since every transformed minion gets to attack immediately.

Whizbang's Workshop's First Balance Patch Arrives Today - Buffs & Nerfs Detailed

They wanted to reduce the power level of the deck a bit and I think it will do that: one extra turn is all that some combo decks might need. Personally, I don't think decks that do nothing but stall …

Whizbang's Workshop's First Balance Patch Arrives Today - Buffs & Nerfs Detailed

I think the fact that its benefit comes relatively late in the game was the main thing holding it back. That might still be the case at 5 mana, but if it was a 1-mana 1/1 with the same battlecry, …

Everything You Need to Know About Whizbang's Workshop Rewards Track

For me it's an improvement as well, because I don't go out of my way to complete the achievements, which means it often takes a lot longer than one expansion cycle to complete them. However, for the achievement hunters there …

Win a Whizbang's Workshop Pre-order Bundle With Out of Games

Rarity and gold seem to matter, with gold mattering a whole lot more, even more than in actual Hearthstone's dust value. The total pack value might be some kind of multiplication rather than addition, because a lone golden legendary isn't …

Standard and Battlegrounds Changes Announced For Patch 28.6.2 This Thursday

In particular I stopped playing highlander decks, because Helya on turn 4 means your highlander cards are never going to be active.

Standard and Battlegrounds Changes Announced For Patch 28.6.2 This Thursday

I don't know. I mostly face the non-highlander variant myself, but it's very frustrating to play against, since it's just turn after turn of you putting something on the board and them wiping it off the board. In the old …

  • [card]Chaos Creation[/card]
  • [card]Blindeye Sharpshooter[/card]
  • [card]Shattered Reflections[/card]

I'm not surprised that Sludge Warlock is getting hit: I've been playing my own list …

Patch 28.6 Launches - Preorders Open For Whizbang's Workshop, Several Battlegrounds Changes, Log In Now For New Cards

I'm not complaining about the cosmetics; I even said in my original post that I'm fine with it. But I do spot a trend of ever more items for purchase being added to the game and often at pretty high …

Patch 28.6 Launches - Preorders Open For Whizbang's Workshop, Several Battlegrounds Changes, Log In Now For New Cards

It wasn't possible to pre-order minisets in the past, but they could easily introduce that, as they already have the required infrastructure. I will admit they probably wouldn't do a 5-week release cycle for a miniset, so maybe 50% is …

Patch 28.6 Launches - Preorders Open For Whizbang's Workshop, Several Battlegrounds Changes, Log In Now For New Cards

They're exclusive for 5 weeks. If they do this for every expansion, that's 15 weeks per year, or about 30% of the time. If they'd do it for minisets as well, the exclusivity period could go up to or over …
