Why do so many people get sand in their vaginas over this topic? It's like you're insulting their favourite hot tub streamer or something.

It is very simple to understand: for fanboys, Blizzard is the absolute good, it does everything perfectly, it is... their GOD, and no one can criticize it or do anything other than worship it. They are basically a sect.

They will NEVER attend to reasons, no matter how logical or how much evidence they are presented, they are dazzled by the magnanimity of their god, and will attack with unusual fury whoever dares to attack him. After all, the fanboys are the white knights Blizzard needs to sustain itself, especially in these dark times...

The proof is that this thread will be closed in not long, like all the other threads on this subject that have preceded it... there are things that should not be known...

If you own a product which earn you tons of money you will probably do everything as well to control every aspect of it. This is understandable from the owner's side and it can be a frustrating experience at the player's side.

That's the real problem, that despite the overwhelming amount of facts showing that neither this game nor this company deserves a single penny from us, there are still millions people who waste thousands of dollars every year on it. It's a real pity, but it is the type of society with which we happen to live.

Ever notice how literally nobody ever comes to the forum and says the RNG is rigged in their favour?

Exactly.

Ever notice how literally nobody ever comes to anywhere and says something is rigged in their favour?

Exactly, people doing so would be really stupid: when something good happens to you, you usually shut up and take advantage of your "good luck".

Do you notice the nonsense you just said? Why are you going to complain about your "good luck"? If you find 10 bucks on the floor, are you going to complain? OMFG

This is a recurring theme that has been explained again and again ad nauseam...

It has already been shown that, according to an Activision patent used in every Blizzard game with the simple objective of increasing revenue, the matchmaking and everything that should be random in the game is in fact rigged, there is nothing truly random in Hearthstone (and I don't just mean what cards you get when you open a pack), but everything is performed by an algorithm that, for example, automatically chooses your opponent based on your winrate and the type of deck and cards you are going to play with, or even is able to alter the odds of drawing a certain card at a certain time or chooses the best or worst option from a pool as it deems appropriate.

But why? What is the reason for this algorithm? It is very simple: when you go to play a game, the algorithm used by Blizzard has already decided beforehand whether you should win or lose that game: your fate is already sealed. According to Blizzard, in theory, this ensures the ideal 50% winrate every time for everyone.

This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T658vTvoRs clearly explain what this patent consists of and you also have at your disposal these threads where the matter is discussed, since as you can see, it is a fairly recurring issue for more than obvious reasons:

• https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/general-discussion/246232-an-interesting-video
• https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/general-discussion/247893-hs-matchmaking-is-biased-is-that-good
• https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/general-discussion/249215-is-something-wrong-with-rng

The problem are the usual fanboys who refuse to believe the evidence and charge against it, trying to make it appear that everything is our imagination, a coincidence, that the holy Blizzard would never put its financial interests first over the interests of its players.

Just uninstall the game. Then after a while, you will install it again. The thing is that uninstalling will keep you at least for a couple of days away. Those few days will let you see clearly that this game doesn't make you happy and that skill cap is very low here. Each uninstall should make your "away" period longer. At some point, you'll realize that you don't need it at all and how shit the CCG part of this game is.

I remember at some point I was so frustrated after each match-up where you get countered or your opponent gets mad discovers. Like I would throw a chair across a room XD I stick only for BG which comparing to other auto battlers isn't too difficult and there is more randomness but still is kinda okayish especially when you consider the fact you can play it on mobile. From time to time I'll play a game to complete some very easy quest. Every time I do it I still can't understand why I was doing it to myself. Like this game is so shit and random and often unfair for you or your opponent. I think if it wasn't for twitch or this forum, this game would have been long dead. It's just so bad.

I have tried, but the problem is that I do not have enough willpower.

I have managed to resist the temptation of wasting more money, which is already a great achievement. But I still can't control the addiction, not for playing, but to not "stay behind" and lose XP, quests or free packs.

People, why do you act as if you didn’t know that Hearthstone is a gambling game that is all about luck just like casinos, poker and similar online gambling games. You have always known this and that is why you like this game so much and you continue to play it, because YOU like the feeling of excitement, this is how it was originally conceived.

Well, the truth is that addicted people will never admit easily that they have a problem, that is the key to the success of this type of games.

It's obvious that Hearthstone is a gambling game designed to create addiction, it's a fact. The recent surge in interest in monetizing the game is what is really worrisome.

After getting to waste about 1000 bucks a year, I consider myself an addict, and for this I am trying to detoxify myself as best I can. All my support to those who are in this situation, we will get out of this all together!

I don't know anything about data mining or how else you would find out but I'd be extremely surprised if there wasn't some sort of quest launch event or equivalent to be able to earn a few packs. Seems to me blizz need all the good will it can garner at the moment and to release the new expansion without a bit of fanfare seems unthinkable right now. 

How naive... at this stage you still definitely don't know Bli$$ard at all XD

Yep, it's over for sure... I wish I could have get 200 packs XD

But what the hell? I have lost 5 levels all of a sudden! This is a fucking joke and a waste of time ...

At this point, I fully support those smart people who managed to scam Blizzard more than 100 packs in the first days of this event, they have it well deserved.

Now requires level 10... but anyway: "Codes are gone for today! Come back tomorrow!"

Quote from 4_77 >>

no need level 5 now, get the packs!

The goblin still says that level 5 is required :(

Anyway, it's useless because: "Codes are gone for today! Come back tomorrow!"

Quote from Dinosaur69X >>

packs are back again but u need now be level 5 any know how to level fast?

What? Well, that undoubtedly makes the constant packs farming unfeasible... there are people who have obtained almost 200 packs with no effort...

Anyway, I can't even get in the game...

I surrender, I have no idea how to fix this...

I only receive this error: "Hmm, something went wrong, but we're not really sure what it was."

And the dialogue with the goblin:

- I don't have any more packs today
- Will you have more packs tomorrow?
- I'm waiting from a shipment from Gadgetzan, so let's hope so!

Quote from Dinosaur69X >>

There are no more codes for today says the goblin

 And do you know when the daily reset is? How long until packages are available again?
