Hearthpwn

After making a second account, I think I know what the problem is - It's when you send the invite!

First account I sent and accepted the invite during the tutorial, but didn't get the pack or the recruit-a-friend pop-up. Second time I finished the tutorial, closed down Hearthstone, then accepted the invite. Upon logging back into Hearthstone the "Here's a pack from being a friend!" quest showed up.

TL:DR; Finish the tutorial on a new account, close Hearthstone and THEN accept the invite!

Just did exactly this. Got the refer a friend link from my main account and then my new account - MurlocShaman acpeted it. It even said "MurlocShaman would you like to be a friend?" when clicking on the link.

I've gotten Mage to level 12 and Shaman to level 8 on MurlocShaman and it hasn't seemed to unlock anything. Didn't get a free pack for getting the refer and I don't have the new Shaman hero on my main account.

Any help?

What would you replace for Alex, Grom, Justicar, Varian and Ysera?

I've got all the other cards, except I only own a single Shield Slam. Really want to play as Control Warrior, since I think it'll be strong against all the new agro decks that Standard/Wild will create.

Reminds me of Hamburglar.

How come you've got thoughts of Hamburglar on your mind, Mister Sanders?!

On topic, I've no idea how you'd use this card. Reverse Mill, where you try to fill your own hand up? Maybe Hand Rogue will become a thing?

Fuck me. Freeze Mage can seriously go fucking do one. So can Priests.

It seems the only games I win, are when my opponent is playing on the iPhone and is a drooling retard. I managed to just about eek my way up to rank 5 after playing about 4 hours a night, now i'm back at rank 6 since Zoo is just a big NOPE up that high. The only games I've managed to win lately have been against a Hunter that played an Exsplosive Trap turn 2 and then alt+F4'd, as well as a Druid who got confused after he played a Kezan Mystic and I followed it up with my own (playing Flamewaker Mage at the time), then just roped me every turn.

Zoo just...dosn't seem to work any more. It gets shit on by Warrior, by Mages, by Hunters. Right now i'm playing againt a DRAGON Warrior. Like wtf? Who plays this shit? And of course, in his top 12 cards - Brawl. Every fucking time. Not only did he open with a firey war axe AND drop a slyvannas, he also had Brawl.

It takes the fucking piss. I started playing Face Huntard since I keep getting shat on them...EVERY fucking deck plays taunt, or all I face is Handlock or Freeze Mage. Go back to playing a deck I like? Countered. Tryed Druid and got raped by fucking Face Huntard.

Can someone suggest a deck that, while being fun to play, actually has a decent win rate?

You can already ignore players in Hearthstone though. Squelch their emotes and don't add strangers.

That dosn't solve the "problem" of people roping every turn and spamming emotes, or rage-adding players after they've been beaten but the tools that are in World of Warcraft and Diablo 3 are also in Hearthstone.

I'd still like them to add in an auto-squelch option though, even if I don't i'd ever use it. It can be annoying and it can break your train of thought, especially if trying to do the maths on Patron or Savage Roar combos.

hey zax, gonna let you in on a little secret. stop playing huntard and zoo. try a control deck, or at least patron warrior--which is pretty cheap to craft too

 I tired Patron Warrior, though I'm not amazing at playing it. Lost like 5 games in a row to Zoo/Huntard. Either all I do is end up having 4+ mana cards in my opening hand, or I never draw into the combo.

I wouldn't mind playing control, but I don't have any of the cards to do that. I only have one Mountain Giant and no Moltens, so can't play Handlock (not that it's very good) and I don't have Grommash, Alex, Ysera or Harison to play Control Warrior. Tried out Malygos Warlock and you just get shat on by Huntard/Agro Paladin.

As others have said, it's litterally "Is my starting hand any good? No? Then i've lost already", game after game after game. Or I get a semi-decent hand, the opponent just controls my board and I run out of cards. Basically I feel as if I play agro, my opponent always has an answer and if I play control, my opponent always over runs me.

EDIT - Okay, took your advice, playing Patron Warrior. So far, I've played maybe 10-12 games (don't use a stat tracker, don't want to be told how shit I am at this game any more so than I already know), and 10 out of those 12 has the Legend Card Back. Brilliant. So out of the 10k+ people that have hit Legend, I'm facing those people over and over. Obviously they're better at the game than me, since they've hit Legend once before and in 16 seaons I've not done it once.

So, not only am I constantly facing people better than me, but i'm still on only about a 40% win rate. First game I play? Druid has Innervate, Innervate, The Russian in his opening hand, into a coin Druid of the Claw. How the FUCK am I meant to win against that? And of course, has the Legend card back. Gotta show your mad fucking skills at this RNG game!

Also in those ~12 games, I've come across TWO Priest (dying fucking class), TWO Freeze Mages (Fun game to watch on Twitch, fucking BULLSHIT deck to play against. Hitting End Turn and doing nothing is fun. NOT), three Druid, two Control Warrior and a Healing Paladin. Its like when I swap decks, every other fucker does and swaps to the one that counters mine!

Is it actually possible to get past rank 9 on EU, if you havn't already hit Legend?

'cos EVERY single player I am facing, is using the Legend card back and I've never hit Legend once, though i've been playing on and off since closed beta. My highest rank's been rank 4 and I litterally cannot seem to get a win streak. Always 1 win, then 2 losses. It is SO fucking demoralising!

Last night I think I went from rank 11 up to 9 with a 5 win streak as Face Huntard, today? First 5 games were losses. 1 win, then another 3 losses. Fuck it, I'll try Zoo again, that managed to get me up to rank 4 before! Nope, 3 losses. Just takes the piss. And it's always losses against people with the worst decks. Like a Hunter using "Call Pet", or a Priest running sodding "Dragon Egg". I must litterally be the worst player ever, who gets an amazing opening hand as Zoo - And the Handlock hits 4 with BOTH "Imp-losions" AND, AND has BOTH Molten Giants in his starting hand.

It's like the game doesn't want anyone, other than the already established status-quo to hit Legend. Ever. And the stupid fucking thing is, I don't ever want to BE in that club! I don't want to go to Blizzcon, or twat around grinding Legend ranks. I want the card back, then I am NEVER, EVER touching ranked again. EVER. Other than to hit rank 20 and any fucking moron (myself included), can do that!

 Have you got a screen shot of this happening? That is a bug, since Imp Gang Boss works exactly the same way that Accoylte of Pain does. Unless it takes damage, it's effect won't go off.

Are you sure it was Divine Shield and not Taunt though? AFAIK Warlocks have no way of giving Divine Shield to their minions, only Paladins are able to do this.

EDIT: I'm an idiot, forgot about Enhanco-Mechano. If that minion had given the Imp Gang Boss a Divine Shield, then no it should not have spawned an Imp.

So ladder reset and all fucking retards are playing face huntard, cancer paladin or aggro mage again.... fucking sick of that bullshit and of blizzards unwillingness to do anything about such garbage play.

 I managed to hit rank 4 last season (highest I've ever gotten), which placed me back at rank 17 after the re-set. All I'm facing is Tempo Mage, Hunter, Priest (lord knows why) and Grim Warrior.

I'm playing Mal'Ganis Zoo Warlock, but I felt like I was managing to hit just over 50% win-rate at rank 4 and was having fun. A loss didn't matter too much, as it was against actual "real" decks, not just constant 5 minute-win game decks. Now, back at rank 17, it's like being in this weird cesspit of face-charge.

People with a high rank at the end of a season, really should be placed higher up on the ladder. I'm guessing if you hit Legendary that you'd be placed about rank 12, but that's still fairly low. Even at rank 17 I'm facing quite a few people who already have the Legendary card back, so surely their skill level is much higher than anyone else in that bracket?

I really hope I hit Legend this season, as I couldn't face doing it again. I know i'm not going to get into the top 10 and if I did hit Legend i'd just stop playing anyways after i'd gotten the card back. Since nothing changes each month, unless an exspansion comes out, it's dull as hell to face what's basically the same decks over and over again.

Nice grammar..

These cards don't seem too imbalanced but they are a little too vanilla to get excited about don't you think?

Cut the guy some slack, English probably isn't his first language.

As for the actual cards, Siaranna is actually pretty good. Just a shame her art is already used for the Mage Secret, Spell Bender :P It would be nice if there was a way to stop minions from being silenced and might actually help against rush decks (can't use an Owl to Silence your Belcher).

Karina could do with having some of her health cut. I can see the comparison to Armorsmith, but combined with Northshire Cleric you're giving the Priest insane card draw and making them quite hard to remove, since every minion you're playing to counter Karina or the Cleric is actually healing them back up agian.

Kelsa is really cool. It's a big costing minion that only deals 4 damage idealy to the face, but your opponent dosn't actually want to kill it to take another 5 damage. It's super weak to AOE though, which is good, but maybe it has too much attack?

Yeh, 18 class cards and 31 cards in total.

That means there's only 13 neutral cards, of which we've seen 4 already. If Dragons really are going to become a thing, then the remaining 9 cards are going to have to have amazing synergy with the Dragon tribal type.

I'd assume that each class is getting a minion and a spell, based off the two we've already seen. Maybe a minion and a weapon? I could see Hunters getting a Secret though, since they didn't get any new ones with Naxx

Hey Zaxlor,

Your decks were being incorrectly marked as spam. I've corrected this for you and your decks should now show up.

--Thesolis

Cool, thanks man!

Twice i've tried to make a deck, but it hasn't saved. I can see all 3 of my current decks, but not the one i've just made.

Along with the main mechanic of the maps, I think you should also make some of the mini objectives too!

Things like - Dragon Shrines, Treasure Chests, Terrorlings, the Sky Temple Temples and maybe even the Mercenary Camps too?

I'd love it if they did a HS/HotS cross-over with you being able to play as a Hearthstone player (Maybe the Innkeeper?), in Heros of the Storm and having Heros of the Storm characters in Hearthstone too.
