    posted a message on Update on Weekly Quests - Quests Will be Easier to Complete

    Am I wrong in saying this fast a turnaround implies they anticipated this response and planned around it? Sure, this isn't exactly a groundbreaking thing to predict happening. But it feels like it was planned - the numbers chosen were intentionally ridiculous because we'd riot no matter what. Then afterwards they change it to their desired endgame goal numbers, and we smile because "It's better now!"

    Live service games like Hearthstone are the biggest victims of not respecting players' time. Hearthstone already somewhat did - you didn't need to log in daily for the maximum XP gain and weeklies were easy enough to complete. Not any longer...

    posted a message on Blood Magic is This Week's Tavern Brawl

    A year ago, with the release of Festival of Legends, a change was made to the "Costs Health instead of mana" effect where:

    1. It's no longer considered damage, meaning cards like The Demon Seed no longer progress by playing cards such as Blood Treant
    2. It costs Health regardless of your state. Immune, Divine Shield, have Armor, doesn't matter. If the card costs Health to play, you NEED to pay for it in Health, no way around it.

    posted a message on Hearthstone Quest Update - Big Increase in Requirements and Lower Increase in Rewards

    On one hand, some of these quests were arguably too easy to beat. 5 Constructed wins could be done in less than an hour even with a 50% winrate. For a weekly, that's kinda pathetic, especially when there's only 3 weeklies.

    On the other, holy shit between 2-3x the effort for 20-30% more reward is ridiculous. And what's more, they are still WINS. If you go on a massive losing streak, that is 0 progression to the weeklies. And the "Spend 500 mana" and "Use your Hero Power 50 times" ones getting worse are horrendous - oftentimes I had to create special decks just to get those done because DAMN they are tedious, now one is even worse and the other is (mostly) reverted back to the nightmare it once was.

    I wish they took the Overwatch angle of "Complete games. Wins grant double progress" because even losing matches felt like progressing the weeklies, unlike this where only the wins matter.

    You are aware that Shaman is currently one of the top classes at Top Legend, right?

    posted a message on Unauthorized Bot-Ban Update – Late March 2024

    There are multiple Wild decks which are simple enough to pilot and have a strong enough core that botting is viable even at the top MMR brackets. While this isn't the only cause, the presence of these "So easy to play a bot can do it" decks makes bots go brr.

    So I am assuming that if I missed that brawl, I just need to create this card or be very lucky to find it in opponet's deck.. Is there any other solution?

     You can also randomly generate Jepetto off cards such as Paparazzi. Or if you have a friend which owns Jepetto, you can queue for a friendly match and destroy their Jepetto.

    So you want counterplay for plagues but not for highlander cards?

     I mean, there's already highlander counterplay in the form of Snake Oil Seller.

    posted a message on Free Packs, Twice! - Watch Hearthstone on their Anniversary and Theorycrafting Streams!

    Twitch Drops may take some time to appear in game. I've seen drops take upwards of a week before they appear. But no matter what, they will appear eventually.

    This is a Twitch issue, just be patient.

    posted a message on Multiple New Mage Cards Revealed

    The Secret pool in Standard is small, at 5 secrets, which means you have a 60% chance to get the Secret you want. However, the pool in general is pretty weak with Objection! rotating, which when paired with zero Secret synergy in Standard, means Hidden Objects is dead in the water... for now, until more Secret synergy is printed.

    posted a message on New and Returning Player Decks

    When the patch containing the new expansion is released, the new and returning player decks change as well. As such, the best time to rejoin is around that time (which should be in about a week). You get a deck for the standard rotation and get a chance to get some goodies from the old battle pass.
