So....I occasionally check Hearthpwn every once in a while and I noticed something that's kind of bothering me.

While I really like the content you put on this site you seem to be missing out on reporting some rather crucial info.

For example, a few days back we had that micro patch that fixed the Plague Lord health bug....and while Hearthpwn had a post about that, we didn't get anything of the sort here. Same goes for the controversy that apparently has been happening on Reddit about unjust bans, that Blizzard reposnded too (and contained other valuable info)

Again, I'm not trying to complain, but I feel like these are the kind of news that should warrant a thread. Especially since you're usually pretty enthusiastic about posting content like Deck compilations or Lore posts.

If I'm not mistaken, cards on this site used to appear with blank backgrounds behind the card text, and now they correctly show the set icons like the real cards do. I think this is a recent change, and if so, congrats to the crew for the update. Maybe a small thing, but I noticed and I think it improves the look and accuracy of cards.

As seen in HSreplay and Hearthpwn, both sites have their individual card database maintenance softwares for players and I have to admit that it's extremely helpful for players wanting to build specific decks from the site.

I have seen the "Your Cost" column in out of cards and would just like to request the team to put up the card database software as soon as possible. The decks put up here are super impressive and I'm sure many players like myself who play on a tight budget would like to know how much dust they would need to spend on building a certain deck.

Thanks very much in advance.

Our website is generally populated by a community that tends to prefer and give upvotes to what is off-meta, or meme, and/or with funny description/story. That's ok ofc.

But the result in the Hot Decks boxes of the front page is often that a hot deck could be either a meme, or a candidate meta-breaker (more often the former), without the user being able to discern, before actually opening the deck page.

And imo, the fact we display memes or Casual decks as Hot Decks makes us look as weirdos to a generic new user trying to find a place to improve their Ranked performances with the game.

So my idea is, what about 4 Hot Decks boxes? One for Standard Ranked, one for Wild Ranked, one for Standard Just for Fun, one for Wild Just for Fun.

ALTERNATIVELY, the 'Just for Fun' could all be merged together in a unique box, Standard and Wild.

With 'Just for Fun' as the default option when an author publishes a new deck.

At that point, deck authors should be compelled (maybe with a warning that clarifies that, if they try to select it) to define their deck as 'Ranked' ONLY IF they can provide the description of some decent performances in Ladder. And it'd be pretty easy to spot scams anyway, since a weird deck with no detailed explanation is easily just a Casual deck.

The current Pro Decks (typically overlooked btw) could be merged in the new Standard Ranked, and/or accounted for with an additional variable in the visibility algorithm.

PS: if and when all this is implemented, an additional temporary Theorycraft box could be conceived, across expansions release times.

Are the decks listed on the front page in this section from tournament formats only or also the stuff the pros play on their streams?  I ask because most tournament decks are actually pretty bad on ladder.

I am not sure if this was requested yet but it would be really nice to be able to favorite decks or save them to a favorite deck list so I could go back and see them and check them for changes or updates. It would be nice to have a list of favorite decks under my profile. 

It would also be really nice to be able to follow deck builders and get a notification if they update a deck or create a new one.

I know you just recently added this feature, so trying to help out and find cards that are missing any related cards.

Hakkar, the Soulflayer is missing a related card section for Corrupted Blood.

OOC Team,

Would it be easier to make a dedicated thread to point out any missing related cards, or should we just open a new thread anytime one is located?

Update: Yeah I've found 2 others already that need related cards. Let me know if I should open a new thread for each one, or turn this into a dedicated thread. 

I was building a C'Thun shaman deck on this site and when I was choosing the archetype I noticed there was no option for a "C'thun Shaman". 

I would like to request that the mods add a "c'thun shaman" option to the shaman archetypes. thanks!

Hey Fluxflashor and site team,

I've been trying to track my Card Backs Collection, and with the outdated information on a lot of other sites, and the amount of card backs there are, I think Out of Cards would fall very nicely into a space for users to track things like Card Backs on their profiles, or in the Card Back section.

Cheers,

Hat

Hello, sorry if I missed where this is.

Is there a way to identify decks that are identical?

The three scenarios I wondered were:

1. Browsing the decklists, identical decks, you might want to click through to one with the guide filled out, or lots of discussion?
2. You found a decklist elsewhere are and wonder if it is already there
3. You build a deck, and wonder if it has already been submitted

There are 2 requests I'd be glad to see, regarding the Cards page:

1 - List the cards as pictures, not as text (or at least include an option to enable this)

2 - If above isn't possible, at least include the card's cost in the grid

Thanks and keep up the great work on this site!!

Are there any plans to add a “latest comments” section on the home page? It’s one of the only things I feel is missing from the home page, and I think it would be good to bring attention to new comments posted on different pages (cards, decks, guides etc.) to encourage discussion on those pages. 

Just a thought. I know hearthpwn had this feature, and I always enjoyed seeing what random pages of cards/decks people were having discussions on, and joining in. 

The current algorithm for selecting decks on the front page seems to be to sort by votes and then decide tie breakers in favor of the oldest deck. This leads to the same decks being shown for a long time. Even more so since the decks that are on the front page get more views and therefore more votes.

This is not ideal for visitors, since they have to go digging deeper into the site to discover other decks. And it's a bit discouraging for people submitting decks, since it is hard to get visibility.

My suggestion would be to show random decks, weighted by votes. So a deck with 20 votes would show up more often than a deck with 2 votes, but both have a chance of being displayed. It also means that every time a visitor loads the front page, they're likely to see at least some new decks.

two things I think are not present on the UI

some threads are very long (the 80 quest trading and salt thread for example) with no way to skip to the last page or even second to last page, the >> and  << arrows are missing or just a way to navigate to a specific page.

The other thing that is missing is a subscribe/unsubscribe to threads feature specially the unsubscribe to threads you open..

I was wondering if you guys could add "Quest" and "Secret" to the list of card types in the search engine. They're sufficiently different from other spells to warrant a separate filter and especially the latter would be pretty useful considering the number of secrets in existence as well as the fact that dedicated secret decks are a regular occurrence in wild and standard alike.

Hi mods from Out of Cards, I'm a bit... dissapointed today. I have noticed almost every single comment I have made on this website has a lot of downvotes, even posts like this one (https://outof.cards/forums/hearthstone/hearthstone-general/1337-kripps-very-useful-guide-about-zephrys-the-great):

Seriously, guys??? And didn't sinti, whose comment has a total of 3 upvotes, notice anything strange??? WTF???

I perfectly know and understand why so many people out there are total assholes, and once a user becomes at least a bit popular in a forum, negative reactions are likely to increse, only because it's fun to hurt someone you don't like. But the negative votes are really not the problem here, what really pisses me off is that you, yes, the mods, aren't doing absolutely nothing about it. I know you know me very well, I have been a very active member of this community for more than four years, and yeah, I'm not Mother Teresa of Calcutta and my usual behaviour is probably not the ideal one, but why do I have to remember you to do your job??? It's super obvious you are totally aware of this thing, especially because many of my posts with stupid amounts of downvotes are in short threads where you participated!!!

Of course, you should ignore this thread: https://outof.cards/forums/off-topic/general-chat/1194-the-downvote-effect; obviously most people there downvoted me just for everyone's fun, including mine, hehe. :P :P :P

But yeah, I'm super pissed off because of this. I thought this forum was handled by serious, responsable, helpful and attentive people, but it seems that is not the case... Damn, what a shame... :( :( :(

Time to find another hobby, I guess... ;) ;) ;)

I feel personally attacked friend, considering you downvoted all of my decks. Even accused me before of falsely advertising my decks, when I didn't list any winrates or even say the deck was powerful. 

You know what other type of people were annoying on Hearthpwn? Hypocrites.

Now that this site has been up for a while, some threads are growing in size, such as the ever popular Group Therapy / Salt thread. This thread currently has 12 pages, which I enjoy reading, but... it currently takes me four clicks to get to the latest page or comment of this thread, which makes me salty and in need of group therapy.

Currently, the thread has 12 pages. If I want to navigate to page 12, I have to take the following steps:

1. Click to open the thread
2. Click on the three dots "..." next to number 5. This opens the thread on page 6.
3. Click on the three dots "..." next to number 10. This open the thread on page 11.
4. Click on the number 12 to open 

From my perspective, it would be more intuitive if clicking the three dots would direct you to the last page in the thread.

So the request is simple:

• Please make it possible to either directly open a thread on the latest page, or allow a one-click opening of the last page once the thread is opened.

This will become more relevant once the threads increase in size

Hey Flux and Team!

Is there a way we can get a report button for spam like WilliamKal?

I've always wondered why there was no sound for the pack opener, the screaming of the innkeeper is pretty great, and makes you want to keep doing it(google skinner box) so it's odd to me why it wasn't implemented on Hpwn or here, it's a new feature so i'm assuming it's not 100% implemented yet, but i just thought that would be a nice improvement. Also, i think you shouldn't need to scroll down to open a new pack like you currently have to do, it should be as fluid as possible, but i see these changes as more of "extra" and not necessary, but still they would be nice. Is there a reason why there wasn't sound before? Also is there a way to see why some things are worth more points than others? That was always confusing to me when i'd get a golden legendary and some commons just like someone else but they got more points than i did for some reason.
