Hearthpwn

I wish we could choose which card pack to earn.

I don't mind winning common cards, so long as it's not a card I already have.  That's the real feelsbadman.

The chance at winning a free run would be welcomed.

Not exactly a "reward", but I really wish Arena victories counted towards the "3 wins for 10 gold" counter.

Honestly, i'm seeing so maney Patches complaints. Simple solution, Maelstrom Portal, insta win against Pacthes and even reasonable against other decks....

 I've been running Patches the Pirate, and it beats Maelstrom Portal.

Patches turn 1: 7 Patches, 7 damage (23)
Portal turn 1: Coin, portal
Patches turn 2: 7 Patches, 7 damage (16)
Portal turn 2: Portal
Patches turn 2: 7 Patches, 7 damage, hunter hero power (7)
Portal turn 3: Portal

Not taking the 8 random cards into consideration, Patches wins at turn 7.

 

The Caverns Below is the epitome and embodiment of "DrawStone" and (IMO) all that is wrong with HearthStone.

That's all I have to say about that.

For those of you who F2P it up:

• How F2P is HearthStone to you; is it F2P enough?
• How do you do it; how are you getting the most out of this game F2P?
• How many decks/cards/arenas/ranks/whatever are you able to play?
• (For reference)  How long have you been playing?

... real life friends.

"Working properly" only means it's functioning as they've designed its; it does not indicate how they've actually designed it.

What if Babbling Book and co generate a card for you that is in your deck?  Since the quest is to cast spells not in your deck, those should not count, right?

365 days / 3 expansions = 121.6 days cycle

121.6 / 3 days * 2 packs = 81.06 packs per cycle "casually"

121.6 / 3 days * 5 packs = 202.6 packs per cycle "grinding"

100 packs is roughly 75% of an expansion

--------

The moral of the story is that a f2p casual player who periodically grinds can reasonably expect to acquire most of an expansion at the time of its release.

Blizzard is a for-profit company, but they've also said they want HearthStone to be legitimately F2P and will be gifting packs/dust/etc.

With that in mind, how many free packs per expansion (or their dust equivalent) is enough without being so many players stop spending real money?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

So many people talking about "Turn 10" ... as if games even last that long anymore.

If you have to make your deck completely around a quest with that quest as your only win condition, that deck is going to suck.

 whats with priests doing more stealing than rouges? lol

Too bad Renounce Darkness isn't a Hunter card.

PLAY seven 1-cost minions.

So not only do you have to have [at least] seven 1-cost minions in your deck, but you also have to draw into and play them ... all while starting with 1 less card in your opening hand.

WTF am I missing that so many people think this card is meta-defining.  It has anti-synergy even with itself.

When Kripp reviewed this card today, he said the quest is to "just play the game".  Well, when Hunter does that right now, it loses.  So imagine now making your deck even worse by filling it with even more 1-mana minions and then trying to play it (and win).

Yes, the reward is batsh*t crazy, but I think the setup to actually get there is going to be a little harder than we think.

Maybe if it was a beast, and maybe if they later reveal something with synergy here.

Otherwise it's just bad.

How often does a Miracle Rogue perform a "Miracle Turn"?  Not often enough to make this viable.

If the revived Sherazin, Corpse Flower had Charge, this could make for a sick combo.  Too bad Blizzard doesn't approve of either.  :(
