TheRealDax posted a message on Card Nerfs, HCT Americas Playoffs, Meta Discussion - Value Town #168Posted in: NewsWho watched all 1 hour 45 minutes of that?
Personally, I watched 2 minutes and spent about 15 seconds skipping through the rest
Seriously, you do not need the duration of an entire film to relay the information in the video. Work on sticking to the point and getting the information across.

One_Man_Army posted a message on Shudderwock and Lifedrinker Battlecry Animation UpdatePosted in: NewsReally??? Wow what a change. Where’s Spiteful Summoner nerf? Call To Arms Nerf? Carnivous Cube nerf? Grumble nerf? You know, so that the game actually becomes playable. No wonder Ben and Chu left. Incompetence at it’s best.

cabrenor posted a message on Mathematical PROOF that Standard Ladder is RiggedPosted in: General DiscussionI know this really is an irrelevant topic......but I still think we have a right to know. I am a Statistician by trade, with over 15 years of experience crunching p-values and t-tests. So I decided to run a statistics experiment to test my theory. I would encourage anyone to repeat my experiment and see if you get similar result.
Procedure: I climbed to Rank 5 using a Pally Murloc Deck. I rapidly ascended to this rank, and then, of course, ran into the Void Lord and Cubelocks. Earlier than rank 5, I got a fairly even mix of opponents, but because the Cubelock is dominating right now, I expected to see more of them at the higher ranks. So......I changed one card in my deck. ONE CARD. I swapped out a knife juggler for a Defias Cleaner to get an extra silence tech. I was already running 2 spellbreakers, so this card had no purpose other than to silence a voidlord.
I immediately noticed the ladder was not facing me against cubelocks anymore. Since I couldn't lose stars at that rank, I started a game, and if it wasn't a warlock, I just conceded. It literally took me 17 games to even face a warlock.......and the deck was a ZOO build....NOT Cubelock. It took me 26 concessions to find a cubelock to go against.....because I changed one card to counter that deck,
I repeated that experiment every 3 hours.....just to allow some new players to come on and off.
I used 26 matches as my standard candle. (No pun unintended)
Trial 1 : 3.8% chance of facing cubelock
Trial 2: 4.0% chance of facing cubelock
Trial 3: 4.2% chance of facing cubelock
Average: With deck holding 3 silences, instead of 2.....the chance of facing cubelock was 4.0%
OPPOSITION EXPERIMENT:
I took the Defias Cleaner out, and put my knife juggler back in.
Again standard candle of 26 games at Rank 5:
Trial 1: 73.2 % chance of facing cubelock
Trial 2: 57.6% chance of facing cubelock
Trial 3: 69.2% chance of facing cubelock
Average 66.6% chance of facing cubelock.
Remember, this is a sampling of over 150 games, 75 WITH a 3rd Silence (No Cubelocks), and 75 with only 2 Silences (Many Cubelocks)
By changing ONE card in my deck, the likelihood that I would face the deck it was DESIGNED to beat went down by a factor of 4.5. When I removed that one card, the likelihood I would face that same deck went UP by a factor of 4.
As a further test, I took out a card and added a Ravenholdt Assassin, which has the same stats as a Defias Cleaner, but no silence. I saw ZERO change in the amount of cubelocks I was facing with the card, but did only run one trial.
So right now, Pally, Priest, and Warlock, and hunter are the classes to beat. You would think you would see them on average every four games, with a couple randoms thrown in.
But based on switching out ONE card.....and running hundreds of trials I found my chance of facing a cubelock DROPPED 62% when I put in a tech card to counter it. One Single Card.....the Defias Cleaner.
I implore someone to recreate my experiment. If Blizzard is fudging the latter, we need to know about it.

GGpenini posted a message on What's on Your Hearthstone Wishlist for 2018?Posted in: NewsI'd like to be able to trade cards with my friends, i already do this in MtG, why can't I do it in Hearthstone?
For example I have all the cards for quest mage except antonidas and my friend has antonidas but no use for it and hates mage, it be great to trade cards with the same dust cost for example if you wanted raza you could trade with someone for a legendary or four epics, or a mix of epics, commons and rares.
Seeing as you can do this in any irl game it seems a bit unnatural to be unable to do it in HS as other games like Dota or any Steam game do, just seems like a lost opportunity that's all.

MemeMachine posted a message on Kobolds is Handing Out Freebies - Which Legendary Weapon Are You Hoping For?Posted in: NewsIn order for me:
- [Rogue] Kingsbane. This just looks like so much fun. An infinite weapon AND they gave us Cavern Shinyfinder? RIP Blade Flurry, you were worth sacrificing.
- [Mage] Aluneth. I can't wait to see if I can make a burn / secret / tempo Mage in Wild that runs the 6 card Exodia shell. You equip Aluneth and just vomit your hand on to the board each turn. Might be terrible, might be awesome.
- [Priest] Dragon Soul. Great synergy with Gilded Gargoyle. Could be great fun in a Temporus Dragons combo deck. Sign me up please.
- [Warlock] Skull of the Man'ari. Everyone seems to think this card is terrible, but I have yet to hear anyone get excited that you can use this weapon to complete Lakkari Sacrifice without throwing away any of the cards you care about. You only need to have this in your hand and play Furnacefire Colossus (discard #1). Then with a single tick of Emperor Thaurissan, play Brann Bronzebeard, 2 x Rummaging Kobolds, and bounce a Kobold back to your hand with Youthful Brewmaster. Now you have 4 x Skull of the Man'ari in hand. Next turn use Rummaging Kobold again and throw away the 5 weapons in your hand using your second Furnacefire Colossus (discards #2 - #6). Next turn you play Nether Portal. PROFIT EZ EZ! Seriously though, demons are awesome.
- [Druid] Twig of the World Tree. Cool combo potential, but no immediate applications that I am dying to try out.
- [Paladin] Val'anyr. Sure, ok.
- [Shaman] The Runespear. I don't like RNG, but I think with the amount of target-less spells Shaman has it could still be good.
- [Warrior] Woecleaver. I don't like the Big EZ playstyle very much. Cool card though.
- [Hunter] Rhok'delar. Maybe some day.
Ah, who am I kidding? I want them all :)

SoupeAuxPois posted a message on Kobolds is Handing Out Freebies - Which Legendary Weapon Are You Hoping For?Posted in: Newsdude trust me and don't disenchant your wild cards. Many people regret not being able to play wild because they disenchented their wild collection. Besides wild is cheaper on the long run.

Would be really nice to have these commands listed somewhere in the client, like typing "HELP" would bring up the list of commands.
