Hearthpwn

They might've learned from previous expansions and will reveal cards closer to the release. No reason to go another week without nothing after the reveals.

I play Hearthstone mainly for the RNG and wacky shit, I love discover, might be unpopular here, I don't know. There will be classic now for those who want a more predictable game mode, so that's good.

My goal is to not tilt, this game makes me upset so easily it's crazy. I try to learn from every game and think about where I misplayed when I lose, even if the game was unwinnable.

I want to survive early game so I can play my cards, winning or losing doesn't matter that much, evolve shaman wins the game on turn 4 so that's a no.

Evolve shaman can fuck off

Not really salty (okay maybe a little), but I'm waiting for a nerf to evolve shaman, absolute bullshit deck.

OTK'ing greedy decks is the best feeling ever, playing DH spell otk with yogg as a panic button, been pretty fun. Plays more like a control deck, which is pretty fun and a nice change from the aggro playstyle.

That’s a bit idiotic to say. An expansion cycle is around 4 months - you get 80 packs in that time. Two months is then equivalent to 40 packs. 40 packs in HS will get you ~ 2 legendaries. You get a champion every week from the weekly vault in LOR if you play even for a couple of hours, so at 1 a week and maybe 2 more from capsules, you’ve got 10 champions in two months compared to 2. Runeterra is way, way cheaper than HS.

 I keep seeing these Runeterra comparisons everywhere, yet that game isn't as popular even with the more generous rewards, maybe that's exactly why they're better, because they need an incentive to tempt more players. Hearthstone, by all metrics has a huge playerbase so there's no need for them to really give away anything more than they feel like. This is economy 101, the top dog can afford to be greedy until enough people leave for the competition. I would leave for Runeterra asap if I enjoyed that game, but sadly I don't, it's just not as fun to me as Hearthstone

I'm just happy they removed the 10 gold for 3 wins so that I don't feel forced into playing it myself, I don't mind other people playing aggro, but now I don't feel like I'm missing out that much since you get xp based on game duration (up to 30 minutes).

Aaaaand, there we go.

Lots of nerfs? "It's a evil plot by Bli$$ard to make money!!!"

No nerfs? "It's a even MORE evil plot by Bli$$ard to make money!!!"

 I swear most of these people don't even play the game, they're just addicted to being outraged.

You forgot the third option. I wouldnt cry a tear if BOTH would vanish today. Right now its just an addiction. Good job bli$$ PSY team. Back then i craved Solitaire, today i crave this clickibunti crap. bli$$ard would do us all a favour if it just would stomp this game into a waste bin. And now, dear fanbois, DOWNVOTE me!

 So stop playing dude, find something else to be addicted to. Why do you stay if it makes you miserable? It's a video game, if it's not worth your time or money there's plenty of other games to try.

standing firm against this corporate greed

 oh my god lol, you folks think you are some kind of activists for not playing a free game

grow up

 It's pretty hilarious

You're the vocal minority, most people are having fun playing the game, not calculating gold income with spreadsheets.

If you enjoy the game and just play, you will reach level 50 in under 4 months. People are acting like it's a travesty that you can't reach max level in a week when the system is designed for longetivety.

People have been asking for ages for a progression system, a reason to play, something to work towards, now you can earn some cool cosmetics. You also get XP for losing which is great, now I can play whatever deck I want and losing won't feel so bad. I don't have to play aggro decks to farm out the daily gold limit, I can just play.

Does anyone here actually play this game for fun anymore? Or is it just about grinding out gold as fast as possible and closing the game? I have to ask why even play at that point? All these spreadsheets about how you earn a little less gold over 4 months of playtime makes me think a lot of people are just addicted but don't actually enjoy the game.  You realize the game is supposed to be enjoyed? It's a game after all, not a second job.

I hope I'm not the only one feeling good about the direction of the game.
