SlydE posted a message on Are people in blizzard actually aware that the synergies in Evolve Shaman are now beyond broken and need to be fixed ASAP?Posted in: General DiscussionIt was actually expected. Evolve shaman was already very strong, but the DH nerfs made it insane.
They are aware, as they have the numbers, but unless an archetype has 60+% winrate at legend, which it doesn't, they won't nerf for a few weeks to see if counter decks emerge.
I played against an evolve shaman running Kobold Stickyfinger today, which should be a clear sign a nerf is incoming. The counter decks are too few (mostly face aggro) and too weak in general.

Shadowrisen posted a message on Should we all start botting or something?Posted in: General DiscussionWow, I've been watching with rapt amusement a lot of these threads about the reward track (whether or not it was originally about the reward track, it is now), but this one has been a unique exercise in goal-post moving.
People are realizing they can no longer mathematically defend the claim that the new system provides less gold (well, the people who are willing to acknowledge reality are, anyway), so now, we need to not only provide as much gold as the old system, but MORE than the old system to account for the mini-set. Despite the fact that we have no idea what the details of the mini-set are going to be. But, nothing like an unreachable standard to save a failing argument.
The trolls are coming up with new stuff, too. Instead of "spies paid by Blizzard", it's now "one person making multiple accounts to pretend people agree with him". I will admit that Scorpyon shit the bed hard and fed the trolls a week's worth of meal on that unfortunate post on page one, but que sera. Not everyone has my patience.
On the subject of corporate greed, I wish someone would explain what they expect out of a corporation. Seriously, what exactly do you expect that you aren't getting? Do you shop at Wal-Mart? You're aware the myriad of horrific employment practices in which they engage to keep prices low, yes? Do you have an iPhone, or any Apple product, for that matter? Google "suicide nets" and learn something about true corporate greed. Oh, and let's not even start with Amazon, the king of internet dollars, and famous for advising their stocking employees to keep empty bottles at their station to piss in. I have to give Amazon credit though, they did cancel their idea in 2016 to fit their employees with shock bracelets to "correct" them for not moving their hands in as efficient a manner as possible while stocking. Yeah, that was real.
These are pretty horrible, but we can step it up a lot further. Let's go global. My first job out of law school was fighting British Petroleum for pieces of their $2 billion damage fund for the environmental disaster they directly caused in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. I made over $300k helping people stick it to that particular corporation. What the hell are you doing? Bitching on a forum? I'm impressed.
Several of you have directed the "Blizzard agent" trope at me, and I take a special pleasure when that happens to which most of the posters here can't relate. Because I've actually fought corporations and won on meaningful levels to many people's lives. Not to mention fighting the biggest, greediest, immoralest (yes, I know it's not a word) entity of all in my country, the federal government. You haven't lived till you've been bodily threatened by a DA and a cop on the same case in open court.
By comparison, Blizzard is such a tiny, insignificant blip on the radar of corporate malfeasance, it is difficult to care at all. Sure, they try to extract lots of money with their pixels. Every single one of you that allegedly has a problem with the corporate policies of Activision can do one of two things: 1) Quit the game, or 2) admit via your actions (couldn't care less about your words) that this thing which you argue and complain about is actually not important enough to act upon.
Talk to me when your only source of food in meaningful driving distance is a Wal-mart, and you actually have to choose between your principles and feeding your family. Talk to me when you realize that your insurance company has murdered by omission, but to say something would void your own coverage in the middle of your life-or-death cancer treatment. This shit happens to real people every day.
And no, please don't misunderstand. I'm not preaching to you about "kids are starving in Africa so a game doesn't matter". That line of thinking has always been bullshit, because we all have a hierarchy of needs and perspective. I know this more than most; there have been times in my life when the worst problem I was facing was which SUV to pay cash for as a Christmas present for my wife. AND there have been times in my life when one of the smaller worries I had was whether I could manage to avoid prison for the felony charges hanging over my head. Priorities are always relative.
But here's a small suggestion. Argue in good faith. Assume the person saying something different says it because they just disagree with you, and perhaps you are not omniscient. Scorp fell a little short of that here, and that's fine; it happens to everyone. But if you make a habit of falling short for such a manageable standard, then it is time to gain a bit of perspective. Your priorities are your own, but it MIGHT be relevant that the vast majority of the world has bigger fish to fry. And their priorities aren't any less worthy than your complaints.
TL;DR: Read something else.

Daulphas posted a message on people who defend blizzard greedPosted in: General DiscussionOnce again coming from an F2P point of view! I don't pay anything to play this game...
What I don't have:
a complete collection.
many of the sets complete.
more than 3-4k gold at the start of a new expansion.
a ton of dust to craft with.What I do have is:
3 decks I have crafted to play wild
1 deck to play standard.
A free legendary every season (possibly 2 with the rewards track)
13+ free packs between expac release and rewards track
No duplicates on rares and legendaries
Do I deserve more because I don't put any money into the game? NO!!!
Do people who spend money deserve more because they pay? YES!!! (however, if it gives them a direct increase to win rate then it's not fair, due to the nature of hearthstones game style)
If you only get your cards from people handing them out for free and don't go out and pay for what you want/need - then it's your choice.
It's not the companies choice if people spend money. It's the companies right and need to charge $$ for their services.
Is the game getting more expensive? I don't know because I haven't done any math or data collection to find out.
But just from my basic understanding of the world - yea - it's getting more expensive inflation is a world wide phenomenon.
Also, it's common business practice for businesses to increase prices on new / updated products (look at cars).
Even MTG raised it's prices over time.Blizzard hasn't done anything different or worse than any other business out there - in my opinion Gas(petrol) stations extort their customers the worst, Blizzard hasn't done anything like they do.
Does it make the game more expensive - yes
Does it make it harder for some players - yes
Does it make it illegal - no
Does it mean they lied to you - no
If you understand how to run a business then you should be able to apply that knowledge to what's happening here. (I ran a table top game store for 11 years, one of our major products was MTG, so I have a fair understanding of how this works.)It sucks when the prices don't match expectations - but just like any other purchase you must decide upon in life - you can choose to pay or not. That simple.

YoHabloEspanol posted a message on people who defend blizzard greedPosted in: General DiscussionThe people who slam other people for still enjoying this game and not giving a shit about a company trying to make money are even more obnoxious than the people who "defend" a "greedy" corporation. I got a solution for you. Leave the game, leave the forum and go play gwent or whatever you enjoy.

SinAscendant posted a message on people who defend blizzard greedPosted in: General DiscussionQuote from yepapapepeap >>Now and then I see people defending blizzard and their greedy actions and I am just not capable of understanding why...
not long ago games cost around 70 euro, what do they cost now? these "f2p" models cost often way way way more than 70 euro, that is if you are not contempt at either only playing the cheapest of cheap decks pretty much exclusively and otherwise get slapped around by players who have bought the competitive cards... many decks don't even work without legendary / epic cards and a legendary card has a cost around 25 euro and epics 6.25 euro
pure paladin tier 1 deck total price 138.28125 euro for 8920 dust 62.1% win rate
https://hsreplay.net/decks/DoWnmjovGhROXQb5LPBTWb/
comparing that to Cyperpunk 2077 with a cost of around 48,97 Euro (one time purchase) is it really that difficult to see that the hearthstone community is getting ripped off? 1 hearthstone deck cost 2.8x as much as the newest of the newest triple A games... and again that is just 1 deck and not even the most expensive oneWhere are you getting these random ass prices from dude?
I spent 100 this xpac and have 21 legs, 25 epics. I am only missing 9 cards from the set. If I got 21 legs from $100 worth of purchase, obviously 1 leg is not worth $25, it is not even worth $5.
As for your pricing on AAA games, number one, Cyberpunk 2077 costs €59.99 or $59.99. Amazon is having a preorder sale, but if you're going to use Amazon prices, you can also buy Amazon Coins for up to 20% off Hearthstone packs too.
Number 2, that $60 purchase is moving to $70/€70 for many games next gen.
Number 3, those single purchases are being subsidized for you by other people who spend on mtx and cosmetics.
I agree that Blizzard could afford to be more generous, but you need to make accurate arguments. I can build any deck I want and I just get one bundle per xpac. Even back when I was full F2P, which I was for about 4 years, I could make 3-4 decks per xpac with no issues.
What exactly are you expecting from the game as a F2P? To be able to make any deck you want with full legendaries and no substitutions? Because that isn't a realistic want

BravoTeam posted a message on Should we all start botting or something?Posted in: General DiscussionI really find it hilarious how upset you reward track people get when you're called entitled, and yet when a system that as far as I can tell mathematically gives slightly more value than the previous one just isn't to your taste (all, without exception, of the maths posts I've seen back this up - everyone but 100g a day aggro farmers gets more stuff. If you've seen math indicating the contrary I would love to see it - I'm not trying to imply it's wrong, I would legitimately love to see it because I'm curious and would like to see the truth). And yet the reaction from the community to this system has been several weeks of endless, constant crying and threatening to leave the game and now you're suggesting that the way to get back at big mean blizzard for delaying your free rewards is to ruin the game for everyone by botting. No one likes bots, and people who bot are just sabotaging the experience of other players for their own gratification. It's nothing other than selfish.
I really wish all of the people who've threatened to leave the game over these weeks would just do it. Like, it's a thing you can do. I played Overwatch since launch, loved it to pieces, but the meta got completely unfun and I just uninstalled and never looked back. I don't come back to Overwatch forums to complain about how bad the game is or passive-aggressively push a competitor, I didn't spend weeks throwing hissyfits about how bad Blizzard was. Hearthstone being something you like isn't a right, nor it is something you can't live without.
Please, I just want to be able to go on HearthPwn and read discussion of the actual game and not the same post about how the Battle Pass is bad repeated fifteen times. Please.
