Damn duel gave me Rokara seven times in a row before it let me play the winning deck.

Wild Growth got nerfed to the extent that it barely sees any play any longer

 It did? I still see it all the time, as hsreplay has it in a number of high winrate decks.

I picked Horde because I figured everyone plays Horde in WoW so probably everyone would pick Horde in HS too, lol.

Probably because the majority of players aren't interested in constructing a deck just to play one Tavern Brawl each week, they'd much rather jump into something random, and play a few games to get that win and pack.

Or to their eyes. The notes flat-out say "Refreshing Spring Water, First Day of School, Hysteria, Crabrider, and Golden Mankrik will be eligible for a full dust refund for two weeks after Patch 20.2.2 goes live." They don't say "all the cards mentioned anywhere in these patch notes get a full dust refund".

Newer players who'd prefer an RNG fiesta to being curb-stomped by a seven year veteran with a perfect meta deck?

Almost there - level 47 or 48 at the moment, can't remember.

I'm probably going to take Demonbane Illidan or Giantstalker Rexxar, simply because they're the two classes that I don't currently have any alternate portraits for, so I'd like to give myself a choice for one of those classes.

That thread was closed because it was 100% trolling.

This thread is 200% trolling, so enjoy it while it lasts.

I think most of the people complaining about Blizzard actually work for other gaming companies.

Makes sense.

I expect that there are some people out there who have such empty and pathetic lives that they waste all their leisure time on forums, bitterly whining about a game they hate.

But I can't believe there are so many people like that, that it can explain the massive population of such whiners on the forums dedicated to every single game I have ever looked at.

Follow the money.

Most achievements give achievement points which are just for bragging rights. If you don't care about this, then no, they don't matter.

Some give XP on the reward track.

It is known what they do because if you click on an achievement it tells you what it's worth.

As a new player you shoukd definately NOT play arena to grind packs. How does it make sense? A new player will barely get to 3 wins. How is this a good advise?

Spot on. For arena to have any chance of being profitable, you need to have a significant amount of experience and ability, both at drafting and playing your deck.

New players going to get eaten alive in arena, getting a pack and a pittance for their 150g, rather than one and a half packs just from spending the gold.

You can easily calculate this, to reach level 50 you need 196200 XP in  12 weeks!
weekly quest: 2x 1750 + 1x 2250= 5750 total: 11.350 XP per week! 11.350 XP X 12 weeks = 102.000 XP

So you need to grind out 94.200 besides the portion given from the quest.

1. The timespan of an expansion is roughly four months, not less than three.
2. You seem to have forgotten that daily quests exist, despite the fact that the guy I replied to talked about logging on every three days to do his daily quests.
3. 11.350 XP X 12 = 136,200, not 102,000 - invest in a calculator before posting maths.

as an adult I want to have fun and turn off my mind from of the daily work troubles, but with this new system you have to play the game every day for min. 1 hour

No you don't. Hop on every few days, do your quests, and you'll hit level 50 in the new system.

One thing that I don't understand: If in the past all you did every day is 'finish your dailies' when exactly where you actually playing and enjoying the game?

 Now there's an old-fashioned attitude!

21st century kids don't play games for enjoyment! They play games to earn pixels!

Here is a link to the level-by level breakdown: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/2200-the-rewards-track-how-long-to-get-to-level-50-644000-experience-required-to-get-to-level-150

This is the real info.

And for the OP.. yes. If you do your daily and weekly quests, you will hit level 50 inside the expansion time period. Even if you assume every single daily quest is a minimum value one. Even if you count zero XP from gameplay time (which obviously will not be the case if you do your quests).

Play regularly and you will hit level 50. Comfortably.
