the funny thing? -I- replied to that very post explaining how/why it happens, and forgot about it before posting again.

 

I blame holiday stress.

 yea it happens (:

lemme add another thing then :D gruul's 14th task I think, was "kill 40 dragons with dragonslayer shot" which sounds like a hard grind too. however, the game counted every single dragon kill by any means, I dunno why :D I had gruul in my team that's all I can say. even them attacking and killing themselves counted. so thats that, no need to worry when you get to that task.

Valeera's Task 3.. 55 damage with Fan of Knives. 

It doesn't do more than 1 damage until rank 3.

Who is designing these?

 edit: ok, it's not -that- bad.. did it in one encounter with Cookie abuse, but still..

 just one post above I explained an easy way :') (via some bug abuse)

looks like a pretty cool deck, leaving a comment so I can find this later

HEY GUYS DID YA SEE THE NEW BG BUNDLE? "Yes, thanks, close"

. . .

*opens HS again later that day*

 

 

HEY GUYS DID YOU SEE THE NEW-

 yea man really wtf is with that? I am not sure if its intended or not but I'm tired of seeing the NEW! and the exclamation mark every day. There are no actual new stuff in the shop, especially in the merc shop usually, but I keep seeing the marks and wanna see the "new" thing. but, VOOF, nothing new... I dont wanna miss out on some ACTUAL new thing therefore I keep visiting the same old buggy shop every time. I hope its not intentional and they'll fix it.

hope they'd add some kind of a DE mechanic for coins. I'm even ok with 1/10 th ratio, just let us use the excess coins, it is so useless. I hate opening my bounty rewards, 5 boxes each accompanied by WOOHOOO sounds which contain another 20 coins for my already maxed merc with 5k useless coins.

I'd say make the end reward a spell, with no body. Thats what some of the quest rewards were back in ungoro. the 7/7 body that comes with the quest gives too much tempo imo.

Vanessa's Task 2 easily has to be the dumbest for a Task 2 I've seen.

Deal 120 damage with Makeshift Weaponry.

 

 jeez, that sounds like a lot for task 2.

however, while doing Valeera's task 3, "deal 55 damage with fan of knives" I've discovered a beneficial bug.
at first, I was horrified that I needed to deal 55 damage 1 by 1, since her ability dealt 1 damage to all enemies and that was pretty low. BUT luckily enough, I was playing Valeera with Eudora, and the game counted Eudora's cannon's damage additionally towards Valeera's task, so I completed that super easily. (I used fan of knives to deal 1 damage aoe, then cannons dealt 18 at the end of turn, and game counted 1+18 to the task)

to conclude, maybe the same bug will work with Vanessa as well and help greatly to the progress.

Do we know when the refund period is on these two cards? 

 quote from blizzard: "The decision to add this refund logic was finalized after this hotfix was put together, so the refund period has not been enabled yet. We will update our messaging once that refund period has started. After that refund period goes live, players who already disenchanted Drek’Thar or Vanndar will automatically receive additional dust to make up for not receiving full value."

its not decided yet, but it will eventually be there

since there will be refunds for these cards, one can craft one, exit the crafting screen, then disenchant it without losing dust.

by doing this you will mark that card as "obtained" and prevent yourself from opening one after the refund period ends. (assuming you wont be finished with the honor questline to rechieve the card when the refund deadline ends). you should still get the card in golden once you finish with the honor questline.

but you probably wanna do this at the last minute of the refund period since if you get it during it, you would obtain that sweet 1600 dust.

just wanted to make a friendly reminder which could be beneficial

yea its really funny. when I play it myself Alignment is either at the bottom or the opponent just kills me 2 turns after alignment. when I play it, it feels like a trash deck. but when I face a druid, the deck's power is godlike, I always lose.

luckily google now knows more than it knew in the past.

fastest way to get 180 beast kills:
lady anacondra
eudora (cannons need to deal at least 13 damage)
sneed

find alpha hyena in barrens.
heal hyena with anacondra. it needs to summon hyenas and stay alive
attack hyena with sneed's 3rd ability to get it to 0 attack
last, once clear, summon eudora's cannon.

at the end of every turn a hyena is summoned, which is immediately killed by the cannon

 

they did hotfixes for a few known issues, but still cant get Vol'Jin's task 16.

man at this point I feel like I'm becoming Michael superbacker from that air umbrella kickstarter project :D

welp.. they actually went into effort and fixed it. this is a genuine good move. I take what I said before back.

but there are still some other greedy moves done by the blizz tho

I am not opening Alterac packs until I get to High Warlord rank (i.e. getting all the golden objective spells and the opposing legendary in golden) so that I wont be getting any of the free rare cards and the legendary from the packs. I dunno how much this will take, I'm assuming like 10 days.

Also I heard that some people did not get thier legendary in first 10 packs, and also appearantly you can open Drek'Thar or Vanndar Stormpike. Thats messed up. There is no dust refund for them like Korrak the Bloodrager, appearantly blizzard cares more about the potential buyer than regular f2p player. I think I remember that they provided a refund for golden Mankrik so I'm hopeful about that, maybe they'll introduce refunds for them.

This might sound dumb, (and it kinda does to me as well :) but I wanna know what you think. I think this is a way to optimize my gains from the game, since I wont be opening much packs anyway (barely able to complete rares in an expansion usually). I'm ok with playing the old cards during this period, could even be fun to see what will the matches look like.
