biggerbossman posted a message on Initial Crafting Advice For Legendary Cards In The Boomsday ProjectPosted in: NewsMaybe we should place what it really means in the main article, duly bannered at the front page of the site. A reader shouldn't have to dig through the innards of a forum post to find out what the author really meant.
If it stabilizes very quickly, where is Tier 1?The whole point of the article was to direct people to the newly updated full guide.
Tier 1 was used right away after WW, but there are no standout must crafts yet, and there might never be! Subject 9 is actually in Tier 1 it Wild, so it is present!
I mentioned the Changelogs of the crafting guide to point out how initial placements have worked out in the past.You guys are managing a site that probably has the widest readership for Hearthstone. When you speak, people take notice. And they take your words seriously. This "we didn't really mean 'dust it', we actually want you to look at the forum post" approach belittles the meaning of words, in a site that prides itself on, and thrives on words.
I hope the team errs on the side of caution, and takes a more circumspect stance (perhaps brew things up in the forum post first, and let it sit for a while - a week or two wouldn't hurt) before posting articles like this.

biggerbossman posted a message on Initial Crafting Advice For Legendary Cards In The Boomsday ProjectPosted in: NewsWith all due respect, I think it is completely irresponsible to make lists like this, as early as now. We have new players, still trying to wrap their heads around the game, who will give HUGE consideration to this list (this is a major Hearthstone site, after all) - notwithstanding the disclaimer in the opening paragraph. It doesn't help that the article uses absolutes like "Dust em! It's really that easy."
With this site's wide readership, perhaps a little more exercise in discretion and restraint (against prematurely posting lists) is in order. Just my 2 cents.

definitelynotsalty posted a message on On average how much dust is a pack worth for you ?Posted in: General DiscussionQuote from Remster101 >>It doesn't matter how many times 40 shows up in your pack openings. That doesn't make it the average as you can open a golden legendary which by itself puts a huge increase on your dust averages.
You can do the experiment yourself when boomsday comes out. You will find that the average of 40 is nowhere near close to the actual dust you get.
But don't let that stop you from the personal attacks. Cause that's usually extremely relevant in arguments about math.
I just gave you the explanation. You disregarded my logic completely and offered a red herring as your argumentative basis.
Fact: 70% of packs opened are 40 dust. So yes, the "average" is higher than that, as I'm sure someone out there has opened a pack with 5 golden legendaries. But that's not typical. We are talking about averages. If you open infinite packs, due to the laws of averages, the conceived dust value will be extraordinarily close to 40.
You are clearly misunderstanding, so here's a definition so you don't have to spend your valuable time looking it up.
law of av·er·ag·esnounnoun: law of averages-
the principle that supposes most future events are likely to balance any past deviation from a presumed average.
As somebody who literally does math for a living, I am personally disgusted by this post.

You must be really great player if you face only bad match-ups for 3 days but somehow manage to maintain ~50% winrate (thus not dropping to rank 15).
All those posts are the same old "If i win it's because i'm good, if i lose it's because blizzard rigged the game against me".

It's very good because it's versatile, shaman has lots of situational cards that you don't really want to run 2-of, but you wish you had another copy for certain situations.
Some of the obvious synergies:
Bloodlust - you don't want 2 copies to clog your hand, but double bloodlist is insane even with medium-size board.
Healing rain - 6 mana 24 healing is almost reno-like comeback against aggro, but against anything that is not aggro you don't need so much healing.
And any damaging\AOE\draw spell.

You should have someone (not necessarily a coach or something) spectate you when you play and give you feedback, it's sometimes hard to spot our own mistakes, so having someone's else perspective and thoughts can be invaluable.
You can learn how to play better simply by understanding what you're doing wrong or even make better plays by discussing your option on real time.

I think new players are matched against other new players in their first arena runs, so maybe this is the reason it was so easy.

Those cards are either too strong or too weak.
Electron, Arcanotron, Toxitron and Magmatron are obviously broken in a deck built around them (the last 2 broken in any deck) and Deathcharger is wayyy out of curve, it would be auto include in any deck.
Magmaw is terrible, Necroknight is just a reprint of Ticking Abomination and Skeletal Smith is slower (worse) ooze, all 3 are unplayable.

Since yesterday's patch the easiest way to beat them is simply silencing their Grumbles, for some weird reason if you silenced Grumbles before he died Shudderwock wont cast his battlecry when played.
Blizzard™ great at patching stuffs.

The first thing they need to do about the dusting ratios is raising the common\rare cards ratios to 1:4 (just like epic and legendary ratios), this alone will give us a ~24% increase in dust value of our packs (from ~100 dust to ~124 dust).

It's just a fancy archetype detector, if your opponent using a popular netdeck you should know which cards he has anyways, if he doesn't the app will be wrong.

Actually it's the other way around, control decks are so slow that you have to be really unlucky to not OTK them, aggro matchups are much harder and the deck is really struggling against them.
