What everybody is thinking right now.I don't want to sign up for some bullshit streaming service, or move to Hong Kong, or get together with 10 friends so we can all slap our dicks on a pig skin together at te same time to simulate Ben Brode's thunderous laughter and unlock a hero. Just sell me the fucking thing and leave me to play in peace. -

aqword posted a message on Why I left Hearthstone for FaeriaPosted in: Other GamesI was an avid Hearthstone player for almost two years. I've dropped it and taken up Faeria instead. I want to share why with other Hearthstone players because I've found Faeria to be an incredibly fulfilling and rewarding experience.
I was a passionate free-to-play Hearthstone player. I played enough to collect more than half of the legendaries when Un'goro came out, making it to a full 12 wins in arena about a dozen times. After a while, it felt like I was playing more to get cards than to actually have fun.
The unpleasant thing about free-to-play games is that to remain free-to-play they have to build in hooks to keep you coming back, to keep you wanting to play continually until you pay. Paying for a book is something I can do once and not worry about getting continued value out of it later. I can pick it up to re-read if I want it, but I don't have to return to it regularly or else miss out. But playing a free-to-play game without paying for it means that you have to engage with it continually if you want to have enough in-game resources to be competitive. I did that for Hearthstone until I felt drained.
And paying for Hearthstone didn't seem reasonable to me. For $50 at an expansion launch, I could have gotten about as many cards as I would get in two weeks of playing arena, and that would likely only include a couple of legendaries, nowhere near a full set.
I pay to play Faeria. And I enjoy myself a lot more.
With Faeria, you pay $25 to get the full set of cards. So that you can really enjoy the full flavor of building a collection, this still happens through earning in-game experience, but the pace is so different as to make Hearthstone collection-building laughable. I had my full Faeria collection within about 70 hours of starting, and they've recently doubled the experience rewards, so that new players can probably get a full collection within about 35 hours. I like this structure because it helped me to discover each card in turn rather than suddenly having about 400 different cards thrown in my face. It was enough time to discover the flavor of each without being so slow as to feel like I'm playing just to get the cards. To keep things lively they're releasing new expansions every two months, with half the expansion coming out each month. The expansions cost $14 each.
The ladder structure for Faeria is better too. Instead of dropping almost to the bottom of the ladder when it resets each month, you just drop to the bottom of the current level band you're in. That makes leveling back up faster, and also ensures that you're matched up to people closer to your own rank at the start of the month.
I also prefer the overall game structure of Faeria (which surprises me because I wouldn't have thought there was any game I'd enjoy more than Hearthstone). It's a beautiful synergy of board game and card game. Each turn you can create a land on the board, and the cards you can play depend on a mix of what lands you have built and the mana (called faeria) you've collected. You can collect that mana faster by moving your creatures to certain edge points on the board, but doing so means not charging straight for your opponent. You can play cards that require few lands earlier, but doing so means playing slightly weaker cards.
Balancing these things makes for fun deckbuilding and makes each turn of the game a fun puzzle to solve. They've even created some solo puzzles to solve, where you're given a board state and have to figure out how to win on the current turn. Some are surprisingly challenging.
If you're interested in trying Faeria, but aren't sure, I'm happy to answer any questions about it below. I hope that it can be as fun and meaningful for you as it has been for me.
You can find the Faeria Steam page here.

Maximal_HS posted a message on New Warrior Weapon - Sul'thrazePosted in: Card DiscussionThis is 16 damage weapon, Arcanite reaper is a 10 damage weapon, its not designed as a control weapon, more of a smorc weapon that has the upside of bringing board control if necessary, remove a taunt and attack face the same turn, great to upgrade too. Really strong weapon.
