I have tried other card games, but none makes me feel like Hearthstone. Why?

what does this game have that others don’t? 

Hi, 

Old player, new account :)

If you could correct or solve one problem with your favorite game, what would it be?

Would appreciate honest answers.

Thanks!

It's been at least a few expansions now where Blizzard has either abandoned weekends or very lightly sprinkled reveals during them. Personally, I'm a huge fan of it since it gives you some time to recover from the week's reveals but man, reveal season seems to have started so slow this time around.

So how do you feel about it? Do you like the extra time to think about the new cards or would you rather get everything out there as soon as possible for full theorycrafting?

Anyone else have this problem? Just logged in, haven't played since yesterday, but no new daily quest. WTF?

I realize I may get flamed for this thread, but here goes:

I've been playing a lot of Death Knight recently, and I've noticed that whenever my opponent draws a Blood Plague or I use The Primus's Runes of Blood ability, I make nomnomnom noises to myself as I eat up that delicious health. I started doing it sort of unconsciously at first, but now I lean into it, smacking my lips with relish. It's stupid and silly, but it increases the fun I'm having while I play.

So, what do all you freaks out there do while you play that makes the game more fun for you? Scream out your favorite minions' call lines when you summon them? Chant FACE or SMORC when smacking the opponent? I'm sure some of you have some silly little things you'd like to share.

Mercenaries doesn't seem to be working for me. All the icons are blank and cannot be clicked on. Issue is on my gaming laptop, but not mobile. Rest of Hearthstone works fine. Any ideas?

Let's hear about them and see them!

I was pretty excited to play the "journey through Hearthstone" Twist arrangement for this month, but I seem to be missing quite a few Legacy cards. Loot Hoarder, Spellbreaker, Stranglethorn Tiger to name a few. I can see them in my general collection, but they are not available when building my Twist deck. To add insult to injury, I faced an opponent who played 2 out of those 3. Anyone have this experience, and know what's going on?

Normally I'm not the guy who shows off the stuff he made, however I belive that I'm not the only one that thinks a Mercenaries fangame would be cool, so I made one and am sharing it here.

Just a quick brag thread here (but also encouragement for my fellow Merc players). Yesterday I maxxed out Murloc Holmes, completing my collection of maxxed out mercenaries. I spent very little money on this mode (2 bundles early on, both in the $15 range), and just a lot of grinding. When the excess coin exchange arrived, I traded in for around 30,000 Renown. I now have about 1,000. Also have 73 packs saved up for future content drops. 

There is hope my friends! Yes, there are major problems with this game mode (bots in the pit, diminishing returns on coins, no pity timer on legendaries, etc.). But if you have fun playing it, keep going! The grind may be a slog, but at one PvP win per day and daily tasking, you can obtain a full set of maxxed out mercenaries. And there are lots of fun, competitive squads to play. I regularly encounter comps I haven't seen before, and sometimes I try them out myself!

Here's hoping for more content coming soon!

This keeps happening to me: between rounds, I place Maestra in the optimal position, then she moves over right after I click "ready," ruining my strategy. Has anyone else encountered this?  

For context, see this video from Old Guardian:

I had planned to finish the event this week, only to find out it has ended already. If they care so little about Mercenaries that they're not willing to properly correct this mistake by re-enabling the event until the previously announced end date, then I think I'll take the hint and stop playing this mode.

Has anyone had this happen? I'm super pissed right now, because 2 of my mercs had their equipment changed somehow, and I lost a match because of it.

If you want the details, I'm playing Old Gods almost always, Y'Shaarj with the extra attack on Rage Unbound, C'Thun with gaining stats on bench. When I summoned C'Thun in the late game, he was base stats and summoned the tentacle. I certainly never changed this equipment myself, but when I went to the collection after, sure enough, both were set to the wrong equipment. Changed them back, then won the next game.

WTF?

As the title says: I just hit the rank 1000 floor and my reward chest had 3 coin drops instead of 5. What BS is this?

Hey mercheads! Just in case you didn't notice this already, the Acolyte of N'Zoth bounty in Darkshore now awards coins for Finley and C'Thun. I've been beating it on normal twice daily (for the Toki task) and netting coins for those two upcoming new mercenaries. 

I'm also looking for help in PvP. Suddenly pirates are dominating the meta. The Patches/Vanessa/Smite synergy is absolutely insane. Does anyone have a good comp to suggest for beating them?

Brightwing

Ahh brightwing, the lovable fae dragon that used to be the big shot, now is mostly unused, here are my ideas for buffs.

1. Brightwing's Necklace should give at least +3 more health.

2. Pixie's Pouch should have been "Pixie Dust restores 4 less health but has no cooldown"

Illidan Stormrage

"You are not prepaired!" yeah, although I thought about your buffs in advance.

1. Blade Dance should be 4 random enemies.

2. All of his abilities are now Fel.

3. Winged Assault gives +3 attack.

Uther Lightbringer

Imagine dying, cringe

1. Libram of Sacrifice is now a Battlecry but only gives it to your Humans.

2. Blessing of Protection restores 2 more health.

Thrall

SMorc

1. For The Horde is now 5 speed, so you can now upgrade Mak'Gora.

2. Ornate Warhorn deals 7 more damage.

3. Warchief's Command does your right most minion instead. (So summons can work better, not really a buff)

That's all folks, I tried to choose mercs that most other people don't cover, and also the ones I personally think are cool.

C'thun will be coming as the last event OG. Here are my speculations.

He's Gonna Be A Fighter. It's prob true, the others were caster, protector, caster. So we are gonna get a fighter.

His long CD Skill Will Be A 20. Same thing, as fighter, n'zoth had 5 cd, next 10, next 15, then next 20 witch is c'thun.

Mechathun Portrait. I love mechathun, it's my fav art in the entire game, I hope it's the diamond version though, witch it might not be.

Beast Related. It's while possible, it isn't very likely, in world of warcraft the area c'thun is in is surrounded by bugs, bettles, etc. so it might be.

AoE Skills. He might have 'deal X damage split among random enemies' skill, just like yogg with his final skill.

 Figuring out the bosses , to me, is a two shot attempt at most. But getting to them intact? That's the trick nobody ever shows or talks about. I want to see the dozens of retries getting to the boss. At least a little more detail on how to beat the climb of these bounties would be nice. Not "This one is the easiest yet" as an answer.

Don't waste your time on that one. It says you have to kill the boss in Darkshores, but he's in Sunken City. No matter how many Pirates you bring to the boss alive. No matter if you skip all the Boons. There is no workaround and we just have to wait until Blizzard fixes it.

Wait, so you're complaining that some achievements are non-trivial? The clue is in the name: they acknowledge your ability to do something noteworthy. There would be no point in them if Blizz just handed them out for doing next to nothing.

Nobody forces you to do all the achievements, and you won't be significantly disadvantaged if you miss a couple of XP-giving ones. That wouldn't even come close to getting you an XP-level (an hence are worth <<50 gold), so don't worry about it. Just do what you enjoy doing, and stop there.
