Hearthstone

Hearthstone posted a thing on their Twitter teasing the reveal for a new expansion with a bunch of players dressed in robes of sorts.

What do you all think of it?

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?

Cora has shared a few fun things about the new mini-set!

Quote From Cora

Few tidbits I can remember about this Mini-Set:

1. Gigantify is the reverse of Miniaturize, which meant we had to adjust our design philosophy. Instead of repetitive effects that are strong because they're cheap, we leaned into effects that are more exciting on a bigger minion.

2. The set was supposed to be named "Dr. Boom's Incredible Inventions (of Fun!)." We were asked to cut the "(of Fun!)" for length concerns.

3. We referred to the mini-set internally as "Misfit Toys" at the beginning, and the design ID on each card is MIS_ for that reason.

4. We considered giving Toyrantus a blank textbox for the memes. /s

5. I believe the keyword Gigantify/Gigantic was originally suggested internally as a joke, and we kind of ran with it. We don't usually introduce a new keyword in a mini-set, but this one made sense.

6. There is one specific art piece in this mini-set that is a continuation of the story of an art piece in the main set, and it's kind of messed up. I don't know who wrote the description, but they must have been going through it that day.

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.

We've got a bunch of known issues for the new patch, including an unfortunate issue with Macs being unable to buy things in the store.

Also sucks that Cariel Roame and Alexstrasza are removed from the BG pool for now due to issues.

Patch 29.2 is here, bringing with it Battlegrounds Season 7, Battlegrounds Duos, and much more! This is a big patch, so there are a few known issues we’re tracking. Refer to this post for updates throughout this patch.

The known issues we’re tracking this patch include:

• [Shop] Mac desktop clients are unable to access the Shop in patch 29.2. We’re working on a solution to this issue. In the meantime, you can still make any purchases through the web shop or mobile devices.
• [Cosmetics] There is a bug where the default Coin is generated in-game instead of your Favorited Coin. This is scheduled to be fixed in the next major patch.
• [Added 4/16] [Collection] The team is investigating reports of players unable to open their last pack in a stack.
• [Added 4/16] [Battlegrounds] Using Reno’s Hero Power on Persistent Poet results in a visual bug where it looks like adjacent Dragons are also turned Golden.
• [Added 4/16] [Battlegrounds] The team is investigating player reports of getting Floop’s achievements without earning them.
• [Added 4/16] [Hearthstone] The team is tracking reports of the mulligan “confirm” sometimes not working.
• [Added 4/16] [BNet] The team is investigating why players who are in Battlegrounds appear as “Spectating Dragonblight” in the friends list.
• [Added 4/16] [Shop] The team is investigating reports that the screen will sometimes remain blurred after purchasing a product from the shop. In the meantime, clicking through the blur or restarting the client seems to resolve this issue.

Battlegrounds Pool changes:

• Cariel Roame and Alexstrasza have been temporarily removed from the Hero Pool due to a bug. (Aranna Starseeker and Queen Azshara are also still temporarily removed from the Hero Pool).
• Skycap’n Kragg, Zephrys the Great, Reno Jackson, and Dinotamer Brann have been temporarily removed from the Hero Pool (Duos only) due to various bugs.
• Fluidity has been removed from the Spell Pool for crimes.
• Storm Splitter has been temporarily removed from the Minion Pool (Duos only) due to a bug.

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?

The deck recipe brawl returns!

Lemushki -  Botface Comment

Quote From lemushki

This one seems really powerfull as all minis are… Also Rotface was one of my favourite warrior cards ever. This one IS not going unnoticed by me.

I think this Will see play and maybe with the doctor?

If not… It at least Will be found

Sule - Toy Captain Tarim Comment

Quote From sule

This is interesting: The first half of Tarim is obviously going to be used as a buff for a smaller friendly minion, and the second half as a debuff for an enemy minion. A neat little two-for-one for aggro pally; I think there's a ton of gas for that archetype so I'm fairly certain we'll be seeing this guy around. (sidenote: one of the great tragedies of Baku-era standard was that Odd Paladin was so good that the obviously busted 6-Cost Tarim was close to an afterthought).

Anchorm4n - Voting on Painter's Virtue

Since we can't preview the vote, instead, here's anchorm4n's comment!

[quote from="anchorm4n]

Weird stats on this one. Obviously a hand wide buff can't be too cheap, but why not skip the Lifesteal and give it Windfury instead? Or just reduce the cost a bit... I'm not sold on this one.

Good luck with your pack openings!

In this brawl you'll be given a hand full of cards that contain card names and you will need to match the card names to the minions that are on the board.

• You have more spells in your hand than there are minions, so don't expect this to be easy.
• If you make a mistake, the board resets!

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?
