Well nothing to complain. The mindless target audience will be served again.
oof, I feel personally attacked.
Just because I'm not complaining, doesn't mean there is nothing wrong with the game.
I choose not to be bothered by it. I enjoy the game for what it is and then move on.
And don't try to say that my complacency is what's wrong with the sheep of the world or something like that. If someone steps over the boundaries and tries to hurt my way of life, I will speak up. But a game? Nothing to say about it.
Unless you think HS is just phase 1 of Blizzard's master plan to indoctrinate the whole world...
You can wait for such a thread and it is not even new. One of the many from the know-it-all-kind, brainchild of a Blizzard henchman wannabee, deliberating from its bandwagon, pretending in fellow travellers style as if he frequently visits Ayala and consort, with one goal...to tell you how stupid you are. No, no, Blizzard can do no wrong, they are always right. The meta will be ok, card design flawless, skill level is high, diversity will be ok al always.....so how stupid you must be maggot to even dare to complain once again.
Over the years they've come and on this forum. Types that behave like that. One goal to defend devs by default. Pseudo-intellectuals.
It is types like these that Blizzard builds on to keep the meta unbalanced, overly aggressive, undivers, classes falling from ladder, a mindlessly low skill floor, polarized, too steep RPS, permanently suppressed control to name a few. And don't forget the mindlessness of Tikatus and Zephrys. Hail to the target audience.
Well nothing to complain. The mindless target audience will be served again. Spamm, buff, burn, go face will rule once again. How predictable. Repulsiveness as ever with a cool smile. The meta must and will be aggressive. Fast paced they call it. And henchmen wannabees to defend the gods. By the way isn't it funny to see 'balance changes' all the time. So every new change is the unbalance of the future. Keeping the meta unbalanced is the permanent balance. The politics of card design. Chew on that.
I don't know if it's a good look to both Pose that all people who disagree with you are faux high-minded sheep who pretend to be intellectual, while doing so by waxing poetic about a digital card game. Unless you're being deliberately ironic (in which case well played), you're just being un self aware.
I too long for the days of Un'Goro, when every class had a viable competitive deck, and the meta had diversity in gameplay between aggro, control, and combo. There will always be a best deck, that's just how card games work. You have a point in saying that current balance changes are made while the dev team is at least one-and-a-half expansions ahead of us, so changes that remain in standard to have an effect on those cards. I hadn't considered that before and it's interesting to think about.
Just relax with the posturing. Control players all seem to think they're 500 IQ geniuses these days. It's just a game.
Depending on your threshold for the word "competitive", every class has at least two decks that can make a deep run into Legend. I don't know much about the tournament scene right now; I have to work at my job-that-can't-be-named. But as far as ladder play goes, Illucia Priest can hit top10 legend with C'thun, Illucia, and Galakrond . . . and nothing else.
Control, Aggro, and Combo are all alive and kicking. Not sure what anyone claiming the contrary can possibly be babbling about.
In before evidence is subjective, up is down, freedom is slavery, etc.

Enjoying Americans winning in the Olympics is forbidden because it is political. A 14 plus page discussion of state-sponsored lawsuits against a multi-national corporation based on harassment, discrimination, and wrongful death allegations is apparently not political enough to raise an issue.
You'd know better than I do. I primarily play Wild, and only play for the first few months of an expansion (I usually set a goal and stop playing once I meet it). My main window into Standard is people on here, the links they post to sites that have actual stats, and the YouTubers I watch.
100% going to be complaints about how the new Core Set sticks the finger up at anyone who collected the full classic set and crafted golden versions of legendaries. Which includes me, but I still get to play them in Wild so idgaf.
Anyone who crafts golden deserves to get owned imo. Revenge for flaunting your wealth or poor impulse control.
I would tend to agree with you if Blizzard wasn't responsible for targetting people with poor impulse control (more people than you think, since the entire society is built on this model) with predatory tactics. I mean that's the whole point of golden cards right, and I think most players have crafted at least one golden card.
Anyone who crafts a golden card is a victim. They should either be the base cards or not exist.
Anyone who is compelled to craft golden is less of a human and more of a magpie, squak squak good sir
Am I the only person who thinks goldens are to be disenchanted and never crafted? Only goldens I have I’m pretty sure are basic class cards lol. Golden cards are free dust is all.
Looking forward to trying out a frenzy warrior deck. Only complaint I can think of currently (while we have limited info on how meta will unfold) is new Warlock cards suck ass. 2 mana summon 3/2 imp 5 mana summon (2) and 10 mana summon (3) minions that won’t see the next turn. Yeah that probably won’t even see play in a zoo deck. If zoo sees turn 10 it’s because the user can’t find the concede button.
I haven't been this hyped for an expansion for a while. The different schools of spells, Core set, classic mode, Mercenaries. Can't wait! :D
I do love the spell schools reminds me of WoW pvp I just wonder if there will be cards that allow us to lock our opponent out of specific pools for a turn. Basically an interrupt mechanic seems likely or why else bother labeling spell pools? That being said poor fel and fire are kinda lacking with about 20ish spells whereas other pools have anywhere from 40-100 spells in their pool. Either way excited to see what it leads to.
I'm really looking forward to the next rotation. The Mercenaries mode sounds promising and there will be a significant change in the meta due to rotation plus the new Core Set. Should be one of the biggest shake ups the game has seen which is cool.
I am fairly critical about Blizzard, but I have nothing to complain about in regards to Hearthstone currently.
All the upcoming changes look positive, and even the controversial reward track system we have had since Darkmoon has given me way more gold than I usually would have near the end of an expansion.
I think card game players are just generally a salty bunch of sweats.
Was the same in my MTG and Yu-Gi-Oh days. I used to play tournaments, and encountered some of the most sad, miserable species of life I have ever seen.
Hearthstone is the same, but when you mix in the anonymity of the interwebz - everyone is a Desktop Warlord. Or lawyer. Or astronaut.
So no acknowledgement that the rewards track was complete fuckery and it took a large part of the community rising up to get blizzard to fix it. All the while the shills here kept saying it was fine in it's first iteration.
I'm pretty sure the biggest complaint (apart from the usual "RNG rigged" and "Blizzard greedy" stupidity) is going to be game balance. The creation of a whole new core PLUS new spell schools PLUS the usual balance problems we get with every expansion is going to lead to absolute chaos. These additions will substantially increase the complexity of the game (depending on how they're implemented). Playtesting has been a problem for Blizzard in the past: it's about to get much, much harder for the dev team.
Some insane, broken combo (ala Wretched Tiller) or deck will emerge that Blizzard failed to see coming. And it's going to tick off the crazies in the community, of whom there are waaaaay too many.

That's probably because it actually was fine.
Because of the buffs i will now have 30% more gold for the next set than i had each time. Before the buffs it would only be 5-10% plus some packs and epics. Still an upgrade.

It's just a game.
Even if it just a game - an old school argument btw - that doesn't mean unfairness and unbalance should be stock in trade.

We make our world significant through the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers.
So no acknowledgement that the rewards track was complete fuckery and it took a large part of the community rising up to get blizzard to fix it. All the while the shills here kept saying it was fine in it's first iteration.
Which shills are those? Because you've called me that before, and if you can find a post of me claiming there were no problems with the Blizzard reward track, I will personally buy you a pre-release bundle. Go ahead . . . I'll wait.
What I DID say about the reward track is that towards the end of the expansion cycle, we will hear a decidedly noticeable silence from the same rage peddlers who insisted they knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that the track would be screwing people. What I DID say was we wouldn't have any clue where the gold situation would end up till we saw all the extra quests and other stuff that was offered. And of course, that topic is strangely absent from the forums lately, because of course, the folks complaining about this "certain outcome" were dead wrong and unwilling to come back and admit it.
In all seriousness, good to see there is a lot of hype percolating thru the community for this set. I hope they have some good Wailing Caverns cards. I have to sit down and figure out which portrait I'm going to get in the next reward track.

my complaint is that all my golden classics are gone. besides that, i find everything awesome
I'm surprised it took this long for an outrage merchant like zeddy to pop up.
