I'm really curious what the new game mode will be that comes during the next expansion cycle.

Dude I am sure. They mentioned it at start of year they said you will have it for 2 years also you can read it it clearly says "Expansion Cycle".

 Please if you find somewhere where they explicitely said '2 years' then post it here. Expansion Cycle just meaning 4 months until the next expansion launches makes so much more sense.

It's only logical because now there's only half the time left that the perks stay active than if you bought it two months ago. Instead of 4 months you can now only enjoy your perks for 2 months. That's why the price halved.

We don’t have any indication there’ll be nerfs soon, do if you want to craft cards, do so.

But always make sure to sit on duplicate cards unless you want the dust (like you do now) and them only disenchant the bad to decent cards which will very likely never be nerfed. Keep all cards you need to think might be nerfed in the future.

Yes I agree and trust me I don’t read it. I just find it pointless that’s all 

 And why exactly do you have to tell us this?

 Get a life and don’t reply if don’t you have anything to say. Christ 

 That's not an answer.

 See, you're both doing the exact same thing now xD

M0res gets bugged by the Twitch chat spamming meaningless stuff and feels the need to tell us about this.

You're bugged by M0res telling us how he feels about the Twitch chat and you feel the need to tell us about this. Why exactly do you keep replying?

It depends on a lot of things. Usually you’re level 60 very long before you got 500 wins, but it is possible sometimes to achieve 500 wins before getting to level 60. Demon Hunter is an aggressive class, so on average you’ll get less xp per win. Therefore you need more wins till you’re level 60.

I mean there are a bunch of people typing KEKW or PepeHands 100 times each minute... what’s the point!!

 I think I feel the same way, but it’s best to just let them be and don’t look at the chat if it’s like that.

Unless you're a wild player it's probably best to craft golden Classic legendaries, but most of them don't see a lot of play anymore. I guess Edwin sees the most play out of them, but the coolest is definitely Lord Jaraxxus!

What makes you think the long games require the most deckbuilding skill? Because that's not true. The real skill in deckbuilding lies in balancing your deck to have enough value vs other control decks, while at the same time not dying to aggro. Just putting in tons of value (which you don't even need because of some single cards that just provice crazy value like Priest Galakrond) doesn't require much skill really.

Also, uhm, if you complain about short games, go play Battlegrounds or whatever.

I like the Idea, but they have to be more like 150g, or noone will buy normal packs anymore

 But then no one will buy these class packs

Quote from Trevolock2 >>

It’s gotten bad. I really wish they hadn’t gone to the new system. It seems like a lot of major information resources for hearthstone don’t really track arena anymore apart from giving a tier list or cards like hearth arena. I find it difficult to know what classes are good during each new expansion. It was a game mode I used to take advantage of to make gold since I could get decent and even good runs consistently. Something had to be done a while back since the card Pool was getting huge but this new random sets system apart from the last few expansions is more annoying than actually fun. 

There’s no way to know what cards are in the pool anymore. You can google sets but to my knowledge there is no resource that ranks the best classes at any give time, or even gives a top class list. I haven’t been able to find a card list for any meta of arena in the last several months. You can find out what sets but it’s a major pain in the ass to pull up pages that show one expansion worth of cards at a time. 

I wouldn’t dismiss anything you say as being salty . It’s a major problem with a lot of the people here and the salt thread actually adds fuel to the fire. A lot of genuine criticism or pointing out problems with the game probably gets lost because half of the community here just labels you as tilted and directs you to the salt thread, followed by the mods shutting down posts. It’s a pretty snobby community anymore thats a lot of people who get off on making people angry by playing some of the worst decks in the format. Just so they can laugh and call you salty when in reality they are just ruining the game. 

The game state as a whole is bad and arena has gone in quality too sadly. You might as well consider it another trash can like wild. It’s a dead mode that Blizzard and most major hearthstone sites / source don’t care about anymore. You’ll probably get a few people saying “arena in 2020 lol”. 

 

 Personally I like that arena sets are changing every few months. It makes arena more different every expansion and this way you won't see the same cards for years and I don't need to know exactly which cards are in the current pool, but that's probably because I don't play arena much and also not very seriously. I understand you don't like always having to check which cards are in the pool and which aren't. 

But please don't go complaining about having to think for yourself. What's the fun in just blindly picking the class and cards the other resources tell you to pick? Seriously, if you can't choose from 3 cards which one is likely the best or best fits in your deck yourself, you don't deserve to get lots of wins.

I do agree too many people who think they're cool link the salt thread when they haven't even read the actual comment but just the title of the thread.. Often discussion gets mixed up with rant.

The game state of arena is certainly not bad though, at least not worse than it always was. Arena is mostly just dying because there's other modes now. People play Battlegrounds now instead of arena.

I like the interesting card choices you got there, but why is this deck called Suicide Demon Hunter? It's not like you deal a lot of damage to yourself like some Warlock decks do.

you're not or what do you mean?

Many people don’t care about ranked much but do want to get gold. They don’t want to be forced to play ranked for that.

think from other people’s perspective too when proposing changes

Many people may not care about ranked, but oddly enough, they play decks picked straight out of ranked to farm gold fast in a purportedly non-competitive environment against non-competitive decks. Talking about player's perspectives, huh?

 And again I’m talking abiut actual casual players. Players who don’t have all the cards and buikd their own decks. They exist and there are a lot of them. We just don’t notice them because their MMR is a lot lower than ours (so we don’t face them) and they don’t go to sites like these. I was talking about those people’s perspectives, not about the people farming gold from the 10 gold per 3 wins thing. The people I’m talking about don’t play that much that they’d even consider grinding casual for 10 gold every 3 wins.

 Yeah.....I’m well aware of the motivation for WHY people play top tier decks in casual. That was implied by my suggestion to remove gold and quest rewards from the mode.

I was asking for reason why blizzard wouldn’t do it.

Im sure there are many that don’t want to be forced to play top tier meta decks when they want to play a fun deck. What about those other people. 

I wasn't talking about people's motivation to play top tier decks in casual, but about casual players. A lot of the more casual players don't have (m)any top tier decks and don't care much about their rank. They'd rather play casual and run into other people who don't have all the cards and run homebuilt decks too (and unlike us they actually face those people because of their low MMR). They don't want to be forced to play ranked to at least make somewhat of progress with their collection.

So by removing gold gain from casual, we will face less top tier decks in casual, but this comes at a cost: casual players will be taken away their biggest source of gold income in the game. They don't want to have to play ranked to earn gold, but they also don't want to be stuck with the same collection forever if they don't play ranked. They won't even earn gold for an occasional arena run anymore through casual.
