Hearthpwn

Personally I’d love to see Dane do a stream!

What do you think?

We don't even use PHP on HearthPwn :P

 You’re mistaken. Surely? You’re part of Fandom, and powered by Wikia. An open-source PHP CMS? Or is your footer wrong? ;) 

Thanks for that informative reply Pullaaa.

After fixing 3 websites 2 weeks ago all infected with the same hack, all running CMS systems similar to Hearthpwn’s, I’m pretty sure my issue isn’t because I need to simply run Adblock in my browser. These things happen. If it hasn’t yet, then all is good. If it has, then all will still be good.

It was just a head’s up...in case.

Mine isn’t. Everything’s secure at this end. 👌🏻

Hey Hearthpwn folks,

Just an early heads up that I think your website files might have been hacked overnight. When browsing to the front page this morning I was presented with a pop up informing me I had won a free iPhone and to click OK to go register for it. The browser URL had also changed with a randomly generated url after the Hearthpwn.com web address. It’s pretty typical of a base64 hack going round at the minute which inserts PHP into the header of your index files to include an encrypted code from an unsecured file in your site. It checks for cookies too, so it only shows the first time a user browses to your site (in my case I was browsing using Safari for the first time on a new iPad, hence me not having the cookie already). For regular users it probably won’t show, even though the code is still triggered.

It’s not a security issue for users of the site, but if left unchecked, you’ll end up hit by Google for spam generated urls in the search index.

Maybe pass this to your web design folks so they can check on it?

Thanks.

Hey folks, can you help me out with what you’d consider regular etiquette when asking someone to help you complete a quest?

I have a player on my friends list who often messages me asking for help to complete their, “Challenge a friend for 80 gold” quest. I don’t mind helping at all. I have over 100 players on my friends list and none of us are salty.

But this particular player...I just don’t think they get how rude they’re coming across?

I finished a game early by conceding after receiving their message asking for help to complete their quest. Of course, I get 80 gold too, so there is an incentive. I waited for the challenge.

Once accepted, they immediately refuse my request to borrow a deck. Huh? Are we doing friendly here or what? It’s the only time we can really explore new decks and play something we don’t know the ins and outs of, surely? It part of the fun of completing the challenge?

Then we open the game and I get no greetings, thank you, not even a Wow! Complete silence. I soon discover I’m met with the Paladin OTK deck - total tier net deck with every card, and they’re drawing through them as fast as they can.

After my request to share decks was refused, I chose a quest priest from my collection, complete with Velen and mind blast. I played it all the way through to completion and won the game.

I messaged thanking the player for the game and the gold. Nothing back. Total silence.

It’s really miffed me that this particular player is always like this. It’s not even like they’re a new player. They’re usually always around rank 5 when they ask for my help with a quest.

I never ever play a meta deck against friendly challenges, and I always share my decks too. I don’t play full on, nor do I go face. If I figure out they’re using one of my decks I’ll usually play sub-optimally to ensure they get long enough to explore the feel of the deck and the synergies available as the game evolves through early, mid and late game states. And after the match (however it ends) we always at least message each other with a thanks, if not a fuller discussion about each others decks and maybe share the deck codes.

So who’s the odd one out here? Me, or this particular player? Am I just expecting a bit too much based on my own perceived etiquette of how friendly matches should be?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

So I woke up this morning, did some chores, then thought ... quick game of Hearthstone? Why not?

Picked up my phone to be greeted with the log-in screen and country selection menu when I opened Hearthstone. How very odd?

After 3 login attempts, and 3 red messages that my account could not be found (an account with 90% of all the cards in it btw) I panicked.

Ran to my PC to login through the Blizzard app and the same thing again. Somehow...I don't know if it was an old cookie in Chrome or something, but I browsed to Blizzard on the web and opened the 'my account' link, l and I was still logged in with my username! Phew. Took a look at my account details and my email had been changed to BEIKUP341@163.COM.

I checked my emails, and it turns out this happened at 2AM this morning while I was sleeping.

I very quickly changed my email back again, changed my password, downloaded the authenticator app and then submitted a ticket to Blizzard to let them know of the account breach. On checking my collection, none of my cards have been disenchanted thankfully, but what a scare!!! I assume there's a bot going round trying to break through unsecured Blizzard accounts.

So please folks, if you haven't already, download the Authenticator app for your phone and secure your Hearthstone account. It's currently at risk if you haven't.

Has anyone else here been hacked before? :(        

Hey guys,

Can you give some tips for escaping the hell that is Rank 15?

I was playing as Odd Mage and kept getting matched against Big Priest.

So I swapped to Big Priest and kept getting matched against Hunters.

Swapped from Big Priest and went to Odd Rogue - immediately was matched with...wait for it...Pirate Priest! Yep, full on Keleseth Pirate Priest!

So now I'm on Odd Shaman, and I'm getting matched against Taunt Warrior with the old "whenever a minion takes damage gain 1 attack" card thrown in behind the taunts.

It just seems as if there's no logic to Rank 15 as every deck you play against is so different that playing one consistent deck is impossible?

Thanks in advance for any advice.  

Recently I’ve been unable to login to Hearthpwn at all on my iPhone or iPad when using Safari.

When trying to login, I go through the process as usual, but when I’m redirected back to Hearthpwn from Twitch login, I am not logged in. I get no pop ups or errors to inform me about it. It just refuses to log me in, despite being logged in to Twitch successfully.

In the meantime, I’ve downloaded Chrome just for browsing this site.

There may be other users though who are experiencing this issue and are therefore unable to login to report it here.

Hey everyone, 

I'm really interested to know what we all do in 'real life'?

I'm in my early 40's and run businesses and properties - and for the purpose of this thread I'll say 'some well, some others could be better. I'm certainly not rich or anything by lottery standards' because the competition stays inside the game; right?

I've amassed loads of friends in Hearthstone after some great games from all over Europe. We chat about our decks and strategies and share ideas. 

I've recently tried to introduce 'real life' friends to the game, and I've noticed a key trend when we play friendly matches. The younger people are, the more likely they are to 'emote threats' or just use 'general bad manners' during a game...such as the passive stance of staying completely silent until they play the winning move with their spell hunter, and emoting "Greetings" once they've won.

So to go off on a tangent; this festive season was all a bit shite for my family. I found myself in A&E (ER for our American cousins) when I had to call an ambulance to my home for my 'better half'. They are looking OK now hopefully, but when your other half is stretchered out of the family home and ambulanced to hospital, you do weird things - like look for routine once you get there with them by going for a cigarette outside.

Once outside, I'd find myself opening my phone and opening the Hearthstone app for a quick game while I had my cigarette. Anything to keep me calm.

I played that long night against many who couldn't possibly have known the state I was in. Their victories were well earned, but would they have BM'd me as much, had they known what I was going through? I'd like to think not. I wouldn't expect them to concede, but it did get me thinking (because of my previous experience, that they may be younger).

But then tonight I went out to a 4 year old's birthday party - first night out since our nightmare of a Christmas. I'm really close to the lad, but I'm not biased when I say this - he made me reflect on my views - (maybe it 's not because they're younger - it's because of how they feel about life?)

So rather than 'how old are you' (which has been done) I thought it might be interesting to ask 'where are you now?'         

‘Wow!’

’Wow!’

’Wow!’

I'm going to stand up for the OP here and say that they probably aren't trolling, and that it's just a case of them being younger.

If they are trolling, it's a parody of being a younger person today.

I employ younger people regularly on apprenticeships (aged 16-18) and I once tried to help an apprentice appreciate that the pop group Bananarama (who they hadn't heard of) were like the Spice Girls of the 1980's.

I was met with the question, "Who are the Spice Girls?"

We need to appreciate that 16 year olds today were born in 2002. The Twin Towers falling, the Berlin wall being taken down (nevermind built) and the launch of the Euro to replace all European currencies are just things that get talked about in History at school (assuming they took it in their options). 

Indiana Jones preceded even the earliest of these events by 8 years. So yes, to a young person, the Indiana Jones franchise may as well be Gone With The Wind and Harrison Ford didn't hook up with a Kardashian so who the hell is he? 

We need to accept that we're getting older folks. I have a friend just 6 years younger than me who refuses to watch certain movies I recommend because they're not available in HD on his Kodi box.

I would say to the OP...what did you think of Indiana Jones? Did you enjoy it as much as we did?

Merry Xmas everyone...young and old(er)!

:)
