Hearthpwn

Just won a game against "BrownHound".  

His deck had one card, but he discovered an Ignis weapon that made him draw three cards with each strike.  He was playing the Astral Array Priest Standard Priest deck.  He burned himself with fatigue.  

Unlike the "AdjectiveNoun" bots from 2023, the new bots don't act immediately or mechanistically.  They mouse over the cards in their hands before playing.  I've also seen one concede when it was obviously going to lose.  This AI even destroyed its own Ra-Den.

So, the AI is getting better quickly.

Edit: and my next opponent was "NavyBear", who also played Astral Array.

 Thank God for the Salt Police!  

Note: it does not affect battlecries.

They listened to you!

Title says it.  I've heard it talked about, but truly that is how it should work, even from a thematic perspective.  Control decks don't need to have access to that much life gain.  

Twist is a fun way to play with new combos or older cards.  I've already made Quest Priest, Infuse Demon Hunter, and Elemental Shaman.  I don't win every game, but I win many.  It's refreshing.

I also like being rewarded for having a deep collection of old cards.

Mech Paladin is fantastic for climbing.

* another strange thing that I saw in 2 games:shaman bot playing rogue cards all the way, like he got rogue deck (wtf?)

I had this happen recently. It was playing as Brukan with the totem hero power but playing rogue cards. It even played a Tess that replayed all the rogue cards it played that game since the hero was a shaman.

 I've seen a Rogue playing Shaman cards and a Shaman playing Rogue cards.  Screenshots included.  

Just came here to see if others have had the same experience.  Playing against a bot as I write this.  

Last two bots were Warlock and Priest

Quest Hunter may lose to certain decks but it is still a brain-dead idiot deck that should not exist. When it works, you simply die to spells on turn 7. Little to nothing you do matters. There is no interaction with your opponent. 

 

I decided to join the dark side and craft the Hunter legendaries for the quest deck.  I found out very quickly that is is NOT a brain-dead idiot deck.  I lost most of my first games until I figured out how to play it. 

You have to mulligan hard for Drek'Thar and/or Tavish.  Drek'Thar is a huge swing to play on turn 4, but you have to have him on Turn 4. 

Tavish's hero power will not go to zero if you complete the second stage of the quest before playing him.  Your best option against Control Warrior is to have a zero-mana Summon Pet hero power. 

It's NOT an aggro deck, because you have to use spells to control the board in the beginning.  Aggro decks just go face.  You have to manage card resources carefully.  If you use all your resources to destroy a Mech Mage's board (for instance), you might not have enough to kill her face.  And you must destroy the Mech Mage's board.  

I was shocked at how difficult it was to play after having been run over by so many Quest Hunters.  

Both of you can blabber on the party line from Blizzard all you want... I've seen it. I've seen it DOZENS of games. I posted my game by game log of my Shockspitter deck last month - EVERY SINGLE DK BOT ON THAT RUN STARTED THE GAME WITH THE EXACT SAME PLAY AND HAND SEQUENCE.

And that's only the one month and one deck I physically logged. I've seen this go on for months. I've talked to other players who have seen it exactly the same way.

That you two are defending the absolutely indefensible is comically hilarious.

If it makes you two feel better to bury your heads in the sand and scream, "LA, LA, LA NOT HAPPENING - MY OVERLORDS AND MASTERS AT BLIZZARD WOULD NEVER CHEAT US", more stupid to you...

Tired of roping? I am. I dont get why they cant give us a 15sec ranked mode? Would probably be very popular.

Doing quests while being below d5 is just pointless, I usually rank up first then do quests, you can gauge your meme deck building better that way. The higher you are, the less bots are present.

Also heads up, I think sharing players tags is not allowed, some staffers here have perpetrator protection fetish.

It still continues and these are definetly bots. Same core minions in every match, that no real player would use. Around 13 exactly same matches and 13 wins on a row now. 

Guess i should stop complaining and just climb eaz.

my interest is long gone, imagine take 7 years to nerf a big priest KEKW

Before the mini set, my opponents constantly altered between just two classes, warrior and warlock. Now, all I face is warrior and warlock.

😐

Whos care about signature cards? They are ugly and there was no point in adding them to the game other than money. 

Strange, why hasn't the Signature art for Helya been revealed yet when all the other Signature cards have been already?

It's interesting that people complain about 'greed' etc whilst seemingly bragging about the fact that they've played a game for years and years and never paid a penny. Seems like you've milked plenty of content from a game that costs money to create and maintain. Pot, kettle, black much? 

Arw you seriously dumbstruck by why a company panders to paying customers more than customers who literally just skim free service and nothing else? How ridiculous and entitled are you haha? There's plenty of content for free players. Absolutely plenty. Hearthstone is more than value for no money.

And why do you need to convince other people to also not play? Does that make you feel.... More secure or? Like, why? 

When I don't find hearthstone fun. I don't play. If there's a game mode I don't like, don't agree with the pricing of or think is a swizz? I don't play it. It's really simple. I've barely touched arena, don't like the format. Never touched mercenaries, seems like a meh mode and I cba keeping up with it and I think I've bought the bg battle pass once, when I went through a minor phase of really enjoying it. 

Know how many forums, sub reddits and social media platforms I created threads on about it? None. Why? Because it's such a bizarre waste of time. Do you. Be happy with whatever it is you want to do. 

But I find it weird that there's a subset of people who seemingly need to convince themselves they are doing the right thing and take to the Internet to get some sort of validation? 

Seriously. Why not just not play haha? I say this as someone who only vaguely knows what twist is, have never played and may well never bother but cannot for the life of me understand why you've decided that your perspective is important enough to come and make a thread with a title literally telling people what they should or shouldn't do.
