Hearthstone

Did anyone here watch the first weekend of the Hearthstone Global Games? I feel like the marketing, prize money, production value, attention given and tournament duration are all way under par for a tournament which could be the largest event in Hearthstone. I would have loved to root for my country all tournament, but now they're already knocked out after 3(!) games. The viewership was very low as well, probably because most people didn't even know it was going on or who were playing in it. What are your opinions on this tournament?

Heya guys.

I'm curious to see whether you have the same experience as me so that I can decide whether it's me lucky for the past 7-8 days or it maybe changed for better.

Basically the thing is that I get mostly 60g quests from the new type (play 3 games with x, y or z). And these are quite nice. You can either play them if you enjoy the classes or gift the victory to the opponent while going AFK for example.

What do you think?

I cannot play battlegrounds since yesterday, and I do not know what the problem is. It is stuck on the opponent search screen - photo.

Normal now and Tavern Brawl are just fine, but I have these bad BG cravings... He's someone experiences anything similar?

Hello everyone,

Just lost another Arena game because of disconnect near rope. I find this really frustrating, I even hate when I win this way and I even occasionally concede when I feel I would surely lose if they didn't DC. I wanted to see your opinion on the idea: introducing the timeout timer in case of player disconnecting. 

I played MtG Arena a while ago, and remembered that there was a similar feature when a played is AFK (as I recall you get 3 of them). I really liked it. I thought that it would be great if HS got some kind of DC protection, like at least additional 30 s just in case of DC specifically, once during a game. I don't see any drawbacks to this, as long as afk-ing is excluded, but I might be wrong.

What do you think? Would you like it, would it be helpful?

My deck has four cards, it's locked and no action is possible

How to proceed? Tks

Hey, sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Feel free to move it or whatever if this isn't the place.

Alright, so I have a problem login in on the EU server on my laptop. It gets stuck on the loading screen (tavern doors with the HS logo). Since this has been going on for a week now, and I tried all the possible solutions I could find online, I submitted a ticked on the Blizzard website. There, the only response I got was a link to the troubleshooting page, all of which I tried before to no avail. After that no more responses. So I thought I could maybe ask here for advice?

To summarize:

- I can log in on the America and Asia servers on my laptop;

- I cannot log in on the Europe server on my laptop;

- Other accounts on my laptop can log in on all servers;

- I can log on all servers on my mobile phone and tablet;

Anyone who potentially has a clue on how to fix this? If my phone or tablet were playable, or if I had progress on the other servers, I could've adapted, but alas. Normally I'm quite good at figuring out problems like this, but this time I'm stuck :/

Additional notes, I think the problem started after I updated the OS to Catalina: 10.15.1, although I couldn't find evidence online that this has anything to do with it. The "failed" patch came around that time as well, but since that has since then been fixed, it's probably not that.

Vicious Syndicate published the Wild Data Reaper Report #20:

https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/wild-vs-data-reaper-report-20/

Here's their tier list:

T1:
Odd Rogue, Aluneth Mage, Odd Paladin, Mech Paladin, Sn1p-Sn4p Warlock, Even Shaman

T2:
Reno Mage

T3:
Murloc Shaman, Reno Warlock, Mech Hunter, Reno Shaman

T4:
Reno Hunter, Reno Priest, Quest Shaman, Big Priest, Thief Rogue

As I already stated in the pepper thread, I am still surprised of the low amount of Sn1p-locks between rank 15 and 5. VS blames that on the high skill cap of that deck while also mentioning that it's pretty much unbeatable in the right hands. What also matches my experience are the huge numbers of aluneth mages swarming said ranks. It's a pity that warrior has no really competetive deck right now, when they just got an awesome new hero skin :/ Let's hope for a strong standard deck with the arrival of DoD.

The big surprises for me are Odd Rogue and Evolve Shaman. I can't remember playing against a single Odd Rogue this month, but according to VS it sits right there on top of T1. They go even further with Evolve Shaman, which they don't have enough data for to place it in the regular tier list, but strongly support the claim the deck is T0.

What are your experiences? Do you agree with the provided data and the following conclusions?

I cannot get to tavern brawl, it says that it is temporarily disabled (EU region)

Does your work?

So this season has been the contrary of the last one: I climbed fast from Rank 10 to rank 5 with Tempo Rogue without any important difficulties. I was lucky with Quest Druid (I didn't encounter many of them, and I was lucky in some matches). Now that I achieved my objective, I plan to chill making the dailies, if possible with Pogo Rogue.

What about you?

I see many pro players post the Evolve Shaman decks they have used to hit legend, or take to tournaments, with Spirit of the Frog.  Indeed, one player I respect online posted recently he wonders why anyone doesn't include this card in a Shaman deck.

But is it that great? When I play Evolve Shaman I get bad results if I include Spirit of the Frog.  I've had much better luck running a deck with Mana Tide Totem, Nightmare Amalgam and Thing from Below.  I just hit rank 1 with this deck and hoping to make it to legend this month.

Has anyone else had this problem? I wonder when I can't succeed with the "best decklist" for a class if I simply have some kind of Hearthstone cognitive block. Or is it really just a matter of personal preference?

Anyway, would love to hear everyone's thoughts. And yes, I've watched streamers use the "best decklist"... I still can't win many games with it. 

Hey

I was wondering, how many decks are optimal when a new expansion comes out?

I have been saving gold like a mad man so I don't want to waste any of it. I noticed last expansion that after a certain amount of decks were opened I mostly got duplicates. 

Also, do you get a better chance of getting legendaries by attending a fireside gathering pre-launch event?

November month 2019. A month where a lot of new content arrives into the game. And a month where Wild is more dead than ever

Because of that I ask you,the players,the streamers and most importantly the developers to help and save the format which is not the most popular one but truly is the oldest one.

There is no doubt that the format has amazingly big deck variety that Standard format can't even dream of. However. There's also no doubt that format has a lot of issues which drags the players away not only from Wild,but from the whole game:

1.The SNIPlock

There's a lot of controversy about this deck. There are some players that are cheating. There are some genuine players. Either way the deck causes amazingly huge frustration and Team 5 still haven't said a clear statement about this deck since the last ban wave. As it stands by now, the deck is one of the only deck in HS history which is placed in Tier S(same as AK47 Druid and Secret Mage at the beginning of Uldum). The deck revolves around certain combo strategies and has: Card draw of a Miracle deck. Clear of Control Warlock. Big boards of Big decks. And finishing force of Cubelock or Mechathunlock. All those traits make this extremely frustrating deck to play against and causes a lot of drama and headache for whole Wild community. It needs to be addressed. Even some clear statement about what is considered cheat and what not will be very helpful. The links below will provide you a closer information about this whole deck

2.The competitive scene of the format

Due to the fact that there's only 1 official Wild tournament. The motivation of players to play Wild and spend money on packs is quite low. As it stands by now there were more streamer vs streamer single player tournaments than all oficial Wild tournaments combined.

3.The card balance and nerfs regarding the Wild format:

This topic was brought not so long time ago and remains unanswered. Wild experienced some really odd card changes and design policy. For anyone interested in closer approach,here is the link to he mentioned thread

https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/dpd3it/we_need_more_communication_from_team_5_regarding/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

All those points contribute to the lowering amount of Wild players which were staying in the game for Wild only. The format has amazing deck variety, astonishing community and streamers like Dane,Roffle,Solem or Control and is home for a lot of old players. It is truly heartbreaking to see the Wild in agony and lack of competitive tournaments and feedback. So I ask you for help and solutions. Spread the word and spread the information about Wild issues.

I would like to end this post with a song which usually helps people to do CPR so we all have a a better chance at saving Wild.

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

I'm a woman's man, no time to talk

Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around

Since I was born

And now it's alright, it's okay

And you may look the other way

We can try to understand

The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother

You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'

And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

Well now, I get low and I get high

And if I can't get either, I really try

Got the wings of heaven on my shoes

I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose

You know it's alright, it's okay

I'll live to see another day

We can try to understand

The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother

You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'

And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me

Somebody help me, yeah

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah

I'm stayin' alive

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

I'm a woman's man, no time to talk

Music loud and women warm

I've been kicked around since I was born

And now it's all right, it's okay

And you may look the other way

We can try to understand

The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother

You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'

And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me

Somebody help me, yeah

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah

I'm stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me

Somebody help me, yeah

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah

I'm stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me

Somebody help me, yeah

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah

I'm stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me

Somebody help me, yeah

Good evening all, 

Does anyone know where I can find the new Descent of Dragons wallpaper? I see that the official Blizzard site has done a very good job of hiding their old "media" link. I'd really like to get the new expansion wallpaper - any help would be appreciated!

Hi all, just shamelessly plugging the 4th installment of my themed deck series: The Banana Saga.

Amazingly this time the deck is not completely awful, but as usual the main feature is the story I have built around it, so check out the deck description if theme decks are your thing.

Is casual a place where there is supposed to be no tier-1 decks? or is it supposed to be just like ranked mode with no risk/rewards? What is your philosophy about the Casual format?

I personally think that Casual is a place where you can play whatever deck you want without having to worry about winning or losing. I think that looking at he format as a place where tier 99 decks can be viable is the wrong way of looking at it. I enjoy playing casual because I can be at rank 7 - 5 stars and still be able to try out a odd homebrew deck without having to worry about falling back to rank 10.

With the sale of the 3 shop hero portraits as well as the recent addition of the 1K win portraits I realised we have come quite far with the amount of hero portraits we could have gotten. 

So I was wondering what hero portraits do you use for your classes? Mine are:

Druid: Elise

Hunter: Aleria

Mage: Jaina (1K fire mage one)

Paladin: Lady Liadrin

Priest: Lazul (I would love to get Tyrande though)

Rogue: Valeera 

Shaman: King Rasthakhan

Warlock: Gul'dan

Warrior: Garrosh

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I wanted to make the new pre-order card back my favorite.  I used to have it on the 'Random' card back but even tho it says the new one (The Shattering) IS my favorite I keep having random backs.

I couldn't find another thread about this and wondering if anyone else has the same problem.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I log in and update Hearthstone, SSDD with every other patch.  Only this time I go in an I have fractions all over my decks that have one gold and one non-gold card in them saying that they are no complete.  I go in and have to manually remove the golden copy from the deck and then re-add it back to the deck.  Most frustrating part of this, outside of having to do it for every single deck... If I log, it resets and I have to do the whole damn thing over again.

For example, I have 1 gold and 1 regular Sense Demons in my deck.  I have to go into my deck editor and remove the golden version, and then put it back in for the game to recognize what is going on.  It is seriously irritating when I am a casual player and play when I have a spare 10 -15 minutes on my hands to have to do this to the deck that I want to play.  Has anyone else experienced this crap with this or another patch?

Hello

I logged in today and now my Quest Paladin and my Tempo Rogue decks are 2 - 4  cards short.

What happened? I can't see any notes about cards being removed from the game. Did I miss something?

It's been two days since I received the daily quests after the update.
