Hearthstone

Hearthstone says "Hearthstone has been updated - download the latest version." I go to the store, no update. It won't let me play the game!!!

Anyone know what this BS is and how to fix it?

So what do you think about anomalies on the ladder now that we had a few days of them?

I personally think that they are fine, surprisingly. In my experience their effects are somewhat mild. They do affect the game flow and decisions, of course, but it's not like they turn everything upside down or give one of the players significant disanvantage.

Admittedly, I didn't play that much, and I think I didn't get the most egregious ones (replacing HP and +5 health), so I might underestimate how annoying they actually are.

What's your opinion? Do you love them or hate them? Are you ready to tolerate them for a couple of months?

Tell me everyone.  Are you going to make a Twisted section for our game modes for Hearthstone?  I been playing as Jade druid but I wanna see more builds we could think of in this new game mode.  

They have a 3 mana copy a card from your opponents hand and deck which is basically a better version of draw 2. So why is it the same cost as Arcane intellect. It should be 4 or 5 mana. 

Then they have a 2 mana add a minion from the battlefield to your hand. They can just copy the most broken minions for 2 mana. 

Then they can discover copies of their copy cards. Copy minions in their own deck all while disrupting your hand with dirty rat, having 1 mana silence all minions, and controlling the board with their various board clears 

and then they still have their titan and create a weapon card. Priest just has an endless supply of tools and the copying makes it a million times worse.

Can they please nerf these copying cards, there needs to be an actual price they pay to just have all this value.

It's that time again... I was clearing out a number of the cards that I have excess of 2 and holding back on some that could have shown to be abusable for potential nerfs.  So far, it feels like classes vs cards that are getting busted with the release of Titans.  That being said, I think that the most cumbersome of cards that I am seeing being a pain and having people gripe enough about them to get Blizz to nerf them... oddly enough is Fate Splitter.  I totally could be wrong, but the things I am seeing on how it interacts with From De Other Side is kinda ridiculous. 

Do I think that is enough to nerf this... not really.  That combo requires you to last against the obviously heavy aggro scene after a release.  Against most decks, that Shaman build just dies.  But if you're playing against control, it certainly does make it a less fun game.  

So lets open up the discussion... what does everyone else think the nerfs are going to be?  

This is not a salt thread.  Granted a lot of predictions are probably based on dying to crap interactions with cards, but it is solely to see what others think of what's going on with the meta.

So I was playing a random match today and notice you can get Signature cards randomly generated out of other signature cards. It never happened to me before that damn, they both looked great one next to the other.

I think this could be something they could do to keep Hearthstone fans interested and make the game refreshing. 

I don't know much about WOW lore so these probably won't make sense, for example:

Mage: If you have spells of only one spell school in your deck your spells gain an additional effect exclusive to that spell school

Priest: Exclusive cards for Shadow priest only, Exclusive cards for Holy Priest only

Druid: Hero power evolves over the course of the game

Wanted to try getting diamond at least with blood dk but Control priest was one of the main problems. 

Copy priest decks are so fucking dumb they endless amounts of copying, making it so they just beat any control deck without a hard win condition. 

Are there any counters?

Just a heads up everyone: there is currently an offering in the in-game shop for 5 Standard packs for 99 cents. I went F2P a couple years ago and haven't looked back, but went into the shop today out of curiosity. Since I had some free Google Play money, this felt worth it.

I have an old laptop which is from 2010. I could play HS without any issues until last patch. With the last patch, I have this issue that as soon as I move a Tradeable card on my deck, the game stops responding. Forge works alright tho.

I don't know maybe it is just my device but I remember like it was working normal before this patch. I can't be so sure tho since I rarely use this laptop.

Did you guys who has an ancient laptop like this have same issue ? It is a core 2 duo, 4gb ram with Ati radeon HD4570.

It is not a big deal tho. I am just curious that someone else also has the same problem. I will report it to Blizzard if it is not just me. If it is just me, I will try to fix the problem.

The new Hearthstone expansion is upon us, and unless I'm missing it I didn't find another thread to discuss what decks we are the most hyped for.

So, what legendaries do you hope to unpack?

What cards do you want to try out?

What class do you predict becoming the new meta tyrant?

Personally I'm very happy to see Warrior get Odyn, Prime Designate and I'm curious to see how much armor I can get in a single turn to abuse his power. Also it's kinda funny to me that after 5 years they still managed to dodge giving Odd Warrior a win condition.

Outside of Warrior I want to try the new Plague archetype for DK, that in my opinion has a lot of potential since with enough Frost Plagues you can technically shut down your opponent for good.

I'm curious to see what the rest of the community has to say about this expansion as a whole outside of the card-related threads.

Opinion: Haleh, Matron Protectorate should get banned from the Twist format. She is the ONLY dragon available for Drakefire Amulet to discover, and with all the mana cheating (Incanter's Flow, Hot Streak, etc) and survivability (Solid Alibi) mages have, this is a ridiculously consistent win condition.

It's a problematic solution, since then Drakefire Amulet does nothing. I don't know what else to suggest.

Normaly I succesfully ignore the exclamation mark on the shop icon, but this time I´ve checked, and to my surprise, there is a free Standard pack to claim. Didn´t see it mentioned anywhere, so I thought I might share. I know, it´s only one pack, but still...

That is really a bummer indeed. I wonder if the reason to replace Classic was strictly because the user interface did not allow it or whether it was also motivated by a financial one.

The recipe for making this new mode successful is having enough participating players which have to buy old expansion packs if they do not already own them yet. 

(!) Talking about the main playmode (so no BG/Mercs/Brawl)

I recently reconsidered, that Quests were actually worded "Win x games with classes Y/Z" not "Play (...)" and event though this change was some years ago, I feel like this wasa massive change to the better. So I wondered what the biggest changes in HS history were so far. For better or worse, concerning gameplay, meta, playability ...

So:

* Reworking the quests to award playing, not winning

Other changes that come to mind (some surely self evident)

* Introducing Adventures (Naxx) / Expansions (GvG)

* Introducing new classes

* Making Discover an Evergreen KW

* More than 9 deckslots ^^

Lmao.

At least you don't talk to your opponents that might not even be on this forum.

Take a break man. Play something else. Lots of good stuff out there. If you're interested in other game types, i could provide a few titles.

I.e.

* My collection crashes when I look for new cards (the designated option next to standard/wild/classic)

* In Duels my Diablo run didn't show any armor at all (luckily, my shieldslam still accounted for 11dmg)

* Also Diablo Duels Run: Misleading amount of lives (hearts are full though I already lost 2 games)

I had the privilege to reopen a Hearthstone account and was severely disappointed  when we didn't get the full dust refund for the rotation. I was waiting for the refund to craft some wild cards and have some fun in wild (I know the meta in wild is problematic, but trying out fun concepts was always the more fun aspects of the game). 

So, while keeping the minimum amount of time  at Hearthstone, I started a Marvel Snap account and started to play (I also tried some other mobile games, but Snap is the only one that stuck for now, besides Hearthstone). While playing it, I found that Ben Brode and his team learned some valuable lessons and made a game that is  better (at least in some aspects). There are things for the hearthstone team to learn here, or I fear Hearthstone will loose traction, as more games will take chunks off the field.

Note: I am leaving out the fact that Snap games resolve quicker, for that is a personal reference, and some people may enjoy the longer matches.

1) Generosity- This links back to the background story, but more. I believe I opened around 60 HS packs out of the new expansion, but only "won" one legendary out of packs. In Snap, the feeling is that F2P have access to the strongest of cards, for "legendary" cards are not a grantee win. 

2) Strategy- HS lost its strategy edge. Yes, you still need to know how to pilot some decks, but usually the power level of Druid, or DK, will solve the match. In Snap, where you put your cards, and the order you play has significance. Just the play of different locations makes for a different game experience.

I am sure there are more, but that is enough for now.

Whatever you you choose to play, though, have fun :)

Yep, read the title.

I’m at diamond 9 trying to hit 5 for the free pack and every other game is still either a Blood or Frost DK. Blizzard needs to bite the bullet at this point and just restrict discovery from other rune cards as well. I find it ridiculous that Blood DK, the control deck, can just start digging through Frost and Unholy rune cards for more damage/board whenever it needs it. Like what’s the point of the rune system at this point if all of the runes can just bypass their rune identities and weaknesses through Discover.

I really hope it gets better past day 1 at least, but I don’t see any new decks at all despite all of the buffs given to so many archetypes. DK needs to be brought more in line, and cards like Marrow Manipulator and The Scourge needs to get nerfed/reverted because a 5/5 with Pyroblast is just absurd, and a 7 mana spell which just completely flips the board is not okay either.

Like, good luck beating that with Thori’belor (I love this change though, thanks Blizz for making it what it should have been from the start).
