Hearthpwn

lol you are fucking retarded.  Ego much?  I was thinking about Aviana + Kun ideas before the expansion even released.  C'thun crossed my mind long ago, as did Maly.  I'm sure tons of other people thought the exact same thing as I.

China seems to keep leading the charge when it comes to dealing with gaming operations such as Hearthstone, even though it's only indirectly related to the earlier positive solutions implemented by NETEASE. 

It's all good, there should be some relative clarity on the matter. As it is, people at Blizzard don't even bother or wish to officially confirm any community findings (such as the so called pity/sympathy timers on epics/legendaries). Which is mind boggling all in all, as you would think it should only be positive PR for all players to know that they are being protected against extreme bad luck and aren't at the complete mercy of rampant unforgivable randomness. Earning such goodwill might only encourage people to buy more packs, not less. 

Unless they have got some other things going on under the hood that they want to keep hidden, because otherwise (tinfoil hat conspiracy theories aside) I genuinely cannot think of a single valid reason as to why they wouldn't share how exactly it all works. 

So who did the math.. was it better to open then get compensation or wait?

All of the "savings" go out the window when you have spend another $5 just to pay for the tax ...

5 free packs and a card back

So, does this actually confirm the fact that blizz has a chance of manipulating which cards show up more often among the pool of the same rarity? 

F u c k blizzard for not letting me pre-order on Amazon so I can use my amazon coins.

Not actually disappointed at all man. This is looking to be a very promising expansion in many different ways. Although I'm not very fond of the Jade Golem theme, there's much more to this set. A lot of people are overly happy with whats coming this week.

Not sure where any negativity is coming from. You people complained about "too much randomness" for like 5 expansions and now we have, what, 6 cards that are genuine random effect cards? I'm not referring to the "Give a random minion in your hand +2/+2" I'm talking more about Swashburgler or the new Rogue Legendary, putting random opponents class cards into your hand.

If its not Shamanstone, Jadestone, RNGstone or Curvestone, it will be something else. The amount of feedback Blizzard has gotten that's negative is about 90%. I'd say around 10% of feedback is constructive and positive. Maybe if more people focused on telling them what they're doing right instead of complaining and memeing about the issues, Blizzard would also focus on what people like.

Just some thoughts. Appreciate you all.

Well, now that we've seen the rest of the cards, I think it's safe to say that Rogue won't be recovering any time soon.  Renolock also doesn't seem quite as powerful as I was hoping.  Druid looks like it will be a force to be reckoned with, as will Priest.  I hope I'm wrong, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see how the meta shakes out.

 Hmm how does Renolock not look powerful? 

1. 3 Mana 5/5 is pretty good
2. New Zombie Chow
3. A couple of decent 2 drops
4. Kazakus
5. New removal spell
6. More AOE 
7. Hopefully a slower meta

I see Renolock in a pretty good spot and maybe with all the new cards even Handlock might make a comeback.... We'll probably just end up getting smacked by those pretty OP looking Jade Druids but as of today I still have hope....

There was almost nothing to help out control decks and that's what I prefer by far to play.  Aggro got help, mid-range got a huge bump.. and now control will be even further down the pecking order.

 "small scale indie thing"

 

No it isn't.  It's developed by Blizzard.  It is not indie in any way.  They can dump as many or as little resources in to this game as possible yet they continue to dump as LITTLE as possible.

 Because to Blizzard, it's a small scale indie thing and doesn't have to be anything else, regardless of what shit posts on the internet may say.

So ive been playing a renounce deck for some fun.  I noticed 3 games in I only got shaman.  I was like hmm that's weird and started tracking it.

Results after 25 games:

15 shaman
3 druid
3 mage
2 warrior
1 priest
1 paladin

"Rng will be rng" i know but hmm seemed kind of weird.  will update at 50 then 100

Quote from TheWamts >>

Because it still is a small scale indie thing, regardless of what shit posts on the internet may say.

We all know this game is a money printer over at Blizzard yet even after years it's continued to be treated as if it's some indie small budget barely profitable game?

The only gameplay update we have gotten after 2+ years is Tavern Brawl.  This is completely unacceptable.

Where is chat function.  Where is tournament play.  Where is replays.

No farseer??
