Hearthstone

How do you guys feel when you need/want to leave HS (for whatever reason) but already spent 'that' much (value is relative right) money in the game?

My work is taking so much time and yet i 'kinda' feel forced to keep playing HS so i'm not feeling my money and time spent is wasted.

I know it's irrational but damn it's hard to fight against.

Mind sharing your perspective, senpai?

Like, I get that when a game after x years 'finally' gets a new, 10th class you want it to be a succesful one. And yes, giving it some overtuned cards to make up for its small collection in order to successfully compete with the other classes I can understand too.

But after nerfing the same deck of that class three times and to still have it be the best deck in standard (source) truly boggles my mind. 

Quest rogue was considered a cockroach after it had to be nerfed twice (and that deck didn't practically dominate the meta for months on end by itself). 

Why then, does everyone seem more okay with this deck? I see very little complaints this time around, unless I'm looking in the wrong places.

I hope the next expansion is a lot better balance-wise because if you ask me, this expansion was one of the worst in that regard. I still had fun, mind you, but the balance was extremely lacking.

Apologies for the salty flavored thread. I'm just genuinely curious if my perception is off, or if people really do tolerate the dominance of this deck more than they did with past 'oppressive' decks.

My go-to fun deck is Reno Demon Hunter at the moment. I net decked the list and didn't pay much attention to it, but today I noticed that Kazakus is missing from the usual Highlander package. So I tried to add him and... I couldn't. While the deck list is open, the card isn't shown in my collection, no matter what I do. Has anyone else encountered this? 

Now you see me... 

... now you don't. 

there is any date? god i hope it will be during the first days of July, but the corona virus thing really worries me

So the Felfire Festival ist drawing to a close, gifting us some packs, an adventure with little replayability, and no arena rotation. So what is the next big thing to look forward too?  How long to the next expansion, any chance of something inbetween? To have a better basis of discussion, I'd suggest implementing a calender where you can see the biggest events of this and former hearthstone years- expansions, midway shake-ups, arena rotations, maybe even large nerfs, or possible the biggest E-sports happenings.

Also, I'd bet that at the end of the Felfire Festival the replacements for Leeroy and co. will finally be introduced, as well a new arena rotation.

Golden Kael'thas Sunstrider Is not golden

More like silver or platinum 

So I'm taking my question from the comments to the forums for some feedback. This is basically questions of wich cards to craft for a dude with decent collection but very little time to play.

I might craft Ancharrr after all since it seems like Warrior is totally impotent without it right now. Somewhat risky though since it might be affected by upcoming nerfs (without refund) and upcoming expansions.

Also, I don't play much now but still use Gala Secret Rogue on ladder. Is it obvious that Stealth is the way to go now instead of Shadowjeweler Hanar et al? I have all the cards so I will probably try it out at least.

I'm also missing a few cards for the strongest Tempo Demon Hunter lists. It's my impression that Metamorphosis is somewhat more vital than Kayn Sunfury. Am I right in this? As for now I'm running Maiev Shadowsong instead of Kayn to neutralize taunts.

By completed I mean still missing 4 epics (I know I said not to open classic packs but I opened one just cause opening packs is fun).

And I got 100 gold, I didn't screenshot it, I know I am not the first to point that out.. but I wonder.. what the developer who implemented the reward thought to himself back in 2013.. I play since 2014 it took me 6 years to finally have a copy of every single classic card and I am not even a F2P player,

There could be a collector card back or maybe a hero portrait to have for getting the full classic set but nope, 100 gold.

I'm posting to flag up a scammer on the 80g Quest Trading thread: LethalDans, battletag Lethalblow#2453.

This user is blacklisted on the Hearthpwn trading thread, and has multiple posts on our trading thread in a short space of time, each of which has been downvoted several times.

I've pmed a mod, but just wanted to flag this up in the meantime, in case anyone is tempted to trade with this user.

So here's the deal...

The solo adventure was available on my EU account before the legendary quest appeared. I dutifully completed Ch 1 but didn't receive the quest reward. Now the quest is displayed in my quest log but I don't know how to activate the reward - I've defeated the final boss again but it makes no difference.

Has anyone had a similar experience or, better yet, can suggest a workaround?

Hi community! Since BG and pirates (specially with all the buying and selling with Hoggarr) I've realized that the game looks slow from time to time.

I have a good pc but a terrible internet connection.

I'm trying to find is there anything I can adjust to make graphics work faster, googled solutions, read on reddit and watched some vids, but I have still some questions and I was hoping someone here could give me a hand:

How can I know what's really causing the slowness?

Some of the solutions involve modifing the "options.txt" file: is that really secure or could be a reason to be banned?

Could we eventually have an official OoC post about how to make games perform better (assuming this might be an issue with MTG and LoR).

Thanks for any tips and help!

The class was released overtuned to make the class attractable and worth playing, and subsequently nerfed multiple times. Obviously we know the class was built with a very aggro oriented identify, but to less successful degrees has seen some control & big demon potential. The class is still too new to have meaningful OTK potential.

So what do you want to see out of the class in the future? More small minion aggro stuff? More big demons? More weapon support? Something new like handbuffing, better removal, more defensive sturdy minions? 

Ever felt dirty playing that T0 net deck or getting away with some insane RNG win that was totally undeserved? Here's the place to ease your mind! We'll listen, we'll understand and most importantly: we won't judge.

I'll start with a confession of BM. I was playing Disco Lock and queued into a golden Odd Warrior. My first mistake was not to concede after Baku's animation, I knew I'd have to draw like a God to win that matchup. Of course RNGesus was busy elsewhere and I not only drew really really bad, but also suffered from abysmally bad discard outcomes. The straw that broke the camel's back was my opponent roping almost every turn until the mid game when it was crystal clear I had already lost the game. I don't think they did it on purpose, it felt more like they were doing something else and not really paying attention. Even late in the game their turns took far longer than necessary and that's something that really gets to me from time to time. So yeah, the last three turns I roped them without any cards left to play just to give something back. I usually never do that since I'm despicing this behavior with all my heart but today I couldn't help myself. Dear Odd Warrior player, if you should happen to read this: I'm sorry. Please do your fellow players a favor and concentrate on whatever your doing and don't multitask Hearthstone. 

So I had a "wonderful" engagement this morning when I was doing my daily quest.  I was playing a Galakrond Priest deck to get my Inspiring quest done and I played against a Highlander Mage deck.  Honestly, it was a pretty close match the whole time and we both went to fatigue but I had one last Mass Resurrection that I held onto for after The Amazing Reno and lucked out with a couple of Khartut Defenders and Archmage Vargoth. My opponent conceded immediately after that.

Next, like a true "nice" person they send me a friend request.  I figured that they were going to try and harass me like a 12 year old losing at Super Smash Brothers, but I figured I needed the laugh.  I... was... right.  I accept the request and get a message saying, "I hope you die of cancer from your aids deck" and followed up by another statement not worth repeating.  To which I only replied, "sad face".

I used to get irritated when people acted so childish, but now especially after that match being so close, I just like to laugh at them since I got the win.  

I'm curious to hear how other people deal with those situations?  I have a hard time turning down the opportunity to troll someone that is a poor sport, so I take time out of my day to do it.  I'll admit, once there was someone that added me after beating them and actually complimented me on my deck and play and said that they were going to make a deck like it and try.  But mostly, it's just salty little people.  I'm looking forward to hearing what other people have said when the poor sports lose.

If someone told me before, Blessed Champion will find a place in HS decks, I would reply - Sir, you are crazy.

I'm currently relaxing through low ranks, trying decks like Pirate Warrior and Pure Pally. Yeah, the latter needs draw and a win condition. I'm really having fun with Paladin, 7-4 rn, but this class suffers because of that ridiculous article (fraud) from Team 5 regarding "class identity". Apparently, a general card game mechanic like card draw is a privilege of only several classes. Others get like zero. ...Which means: 1) Unlike other classes Paladin will less likely draw a required answer (inconsistency); 2) Paladin needs to kill c. 3 enemy cards with only one of his own (which he still doesn't really have [a proactive win con...]).

But, enough of that. I really wanted to share how I destroyed / counter high-rolled Priests with the help of Blessed Champion :). Paladin is actually favored, Priest is also t3 and I usually stomp them, but the current Priest archetypes are, in my opinion, the worst and the ugliest archetypes in the history of HS. They make me angry even if I win. It's like - a part of my soul flies away every time I face them ...because you never know what kind of random bulshit they'll get this time. No clear idea what are the Priest decks.

So, here's a win from yesterday:

And here's a recent one. What happened here is that Priest high-rolled and started to do his shit. I tried my best to save the Prime, Murgur Murgurgle, but he stole him with a top deck, then he discounted his hand, sick Sethekk Veilweaver turn, [Hearthstone Card (Mindflyer Kaahrij) Not Found] my taunt, after all that I couldn't remove Skeletal Dragon for 3 turns... etc... he started to bully me (more then trying to outright kill me, he got cocky). In the meantime I casually played Righteous Cause generated by Lightforged Crusader. Fast forward to the situation presented in the screenshots. I was about to concede, because next turn he will Galakrond, the Unspeakable me, and I would never retake the board again.

My only way out is (now or never) to get some charge from Underlight Angling Rod. I played that, hit him and got Fishflinger, for 1 mana, because of Scargil on the board. Fishflinger gave me Bluegill Warrior for 1 mana, too. Playing both Murlocs completed the sidequest and together with Blessed Champion on the best minion gave me lethal.

Blessed Champion won me 3 out of 7 games.

So I'm desperate to play some of these hot new warrior decks that are storming their way up ladder, but am unsure what my best crafting options are.

I currently have The Boom Reaver, Blastmaster Boom and Armagedillo, plus two of each class epic from the Classic, Rise of Shadows and Ashes of Outlands sets and the cards from the Galakrond's Awakening solo adventure.  I also have a big pile of dust, but the reason for that is that I'm very stingy about what I craft with it! 

I'm looking for advice on what are currently the best legendaries to craft for the class, as I see a lot of different variants of pirate, bomb/control and enrage warrior, all of which seem to use different combinations of the cards listed below:

Grommash Hellscream - appears in a lot of decks, and is Classic, so shouldn't rotate

Ancharrr - seems to be a must-have, but is from Year of the Dragon, so will rotate sooner

Deathwing, Mad Aspect - seems to be less ubiquitous than other legendaries, plus it's Year of the Dragon

Kargath Bladefist - Year of the Phoenix, so will stick around for a good while, but only seems to be used occasionally

Teron Gorefiend - another Phoenix card, and neutral, but seems to be declining in popularity since egg warrior gave way to enrage builds

I also realise a lot of decks run Livewire Lance and Bloodsworn Mercenary,  again cards from Year of the Dragon.

So, what should I invest in? I'm looking for fun, competitive decks, but also value for dust. I also subscribe to the philosophy of 'craft decks, not cards', but figure many of the cards I've listed above will fit into a range of warrior decks.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

When the new ranking system came to be, I was awarded the 6 stars bonus due to my rank. I played through that month and the bonus disappeared when I reached gold 5. I finished that month on that floor (gold 7 or 8) and for this past month again I got 6 stars bonus. Now here I thought that these bonuses were tied to the max floor you reached, so I made an effort and made it to platinum 9 this past season, but today I got again 6 bonus stars. What is the formula for these bonus stars?

I used Hsreplay.net, I like it that it counts average match duration, frequency of each deck, and so on, but I recently realized free accounts only see the data of Bronze to Gold, which is quite uninteresting. I recently discovered metastats.net, but it's not clear where they get the data from, and some decks have few tracked games, so they are statistically not that reliable. And in reports like the ones from Tempostorm and Vicious Syndicate sometimes you read very different opinions, for example according to Vicious Syndicate Dragon Hunter is a strong deck with room to improve but according to Tempostorm is a Tier 3 deck, being generous, while Galakrond Priest is a Tier 1 deck according to Tempostorm, but Tier 3 according to VS... At least both seem to agree that Aggro Demon Hunter, Tempo/Enrage Warrior and Highlander Hunter are good decks.

So, how to bring order to the chaos? How do you inform yourself? Or do you trust only on your own feeling of the meta?

SO i'm a diamond 5 guy, trying to push to Legend this month. I enjoy playing Hunter (face and highlander), and also Demon Hunter. I have most cards for these 2 classes, but I still need both Kayn Sunfury and Zixor, Apex Predator. I can only craft one. Which card is more important in its deck and is there an option for the other one?
