    posted a message on Hearthstone Quest Update - Big Increase in Requirements and Lower Increase in Rewards

    You can use rerolls to move all the quests to ones that you can get by messing around (like play battlecry minions, deal damage to enemy hero etc).  I did exactly this and have been playing the new BG stuff stress free.  The 15 win requirements are brutal and I would realistically not hit this without deliberately grinding for it - absolutely not what I'm looking for in a casual IPad card game.  

    Ridiculous change and I hope someone at Blizz gets a severe telling off

    posted a message on Free Packs, Twice! - Watch Hearthstone on their Anniversary and Theorycrafting Streams!

    I've collected all of the drops on Twitch, but only managed to pick up the first couple in game.  Anyone else struggling to receive the drops in game?

    posted a message on Golden cards from "Tavern Pass" dustable?

    The tavern pass is usually just about worth it at the start of the expansion if you expect to get to at least level 200 or so, as any non-cosmetic value is tied up in gold from the extra experience, the diamond legendary Velarok Windblade, the signature epic Wishing Well (it will reroll dupes if you already have normal versions) and the 2 golden standard packs.

    Right now I'd skip it and wait for the next one, unless Velarok Windblade gets a buff, particularly as you've missed a month of bonus exp if you buy now.

    posted a message on catch up packs

    If you're already at the over 75% on every expansion (which a lot of members of this forum will be), it sounds as though you can open 50 packs to force the first pity on 5 legendaries, one from each expansion.  Might be a pretty useful option dependent on availability of these packs.

    It's refreshing to not have a variety of easy, cheap draw for each class. And there's not a ton of discover, which is nice. But instead of putting this in a sidequest mode, they should just remove discover and reduce card draw in the main mode.

     Exactly - Twist feels more like hearthstone.  My decisions matter much more.  I dont lose or win because of <insert BS here>.  Turns dont go on for 10 minutes while people draw and discover endless cards.  Standard is so stupid right now.  Titans suck.  Just high roll heaven for bad players and noobs. 

    That being said, most games are still decided by card draw & getting your outs before the other guy.  No way around it.  But it feels way more legit now than in Standard or Wild where its 99.9999976% luck and every game is decided by turn 3.

     Totally this.  In Twist, I've had actual constructed games where the board state was a contest not a steamroll, evolved over a few turns, and determined the games outcome

    posted a message on Introducing Mass Pack Opening: The New Way to Open Your Pre-Purchase Bundles

    Doesn't look like you can, but if you're opening say, 100 packs, you could open 60 using the mass feature and then do the remainder manually.

    IMO what would be cool is an "open until legendary" option, that skips past all the non-legendary packs and lets you flip over the cards individually for the pack with the legendary in, then finally gives you the rather stale pack opening report shown in the vid.

    posted a message on pre-purchase motivation

    If you're willing to spend money but want to cheapskate through this expansion, you can probably get by with the battlepass plus one of the bundles blizz puts out when the expansion drops - there is often one with 10 expansion packs, 10 standard packs and 2 legendaries for around half the cost of the small preorder.  This assumed you're willing to burn through some of that dust, and it's a risk as they don't announce those bundles in advance.  I've been trying to cut down too as similarly have ridiculous amounts of dust unused.

    posted a message on The Dark Wanderer is This Week's Tavern Brawl: Week 2

    Steamcleaner is an instant win against the second phase as it eliminates Diablo’s whole deck and puts him on fatigue  - just play anything with a bit of survivability and add those

    posted a message on Heroic Brawliseum Legendary Quest Update - First Portrait for Playing 3 Games

    1000g for a skin and brawl ticket seems fair if you like the skin, and encourages participation in the brawl even if you're not really competitive, making the other brawl rewards slightly easier for everyone else.  I hope this becomes the standard for future brawls

    posted a message on Jailer druid decks need some nerfs here

    Blood DK's counterplay to druid revolves around getting lucky with Dirty Rats and Patches.  Helps to have Zola too.  If you snag the Jailer or Tony and have a suitable board clear for the one big board that will follow, they are dead.  If you miss them or they Fizzle a copy of them first, you're dead.  It sucks that it can take 10-20 minutes to get to important dice roll.

    posted a message on Death Knight and "Missing Cards"...

    I had similar problems, with decks had the gold DK cards that I hadnt earned yet but were usable in error before the latest patch.  I replaced them with normal cards but that still didn’t work.

    I recreated the decks entirely from scratch and it was fine.

    posted a message on New Hunter Cards Revealed - 3 Cards

    Maybe I’m just unimaginative, but aren’t the two spells here the strongest cards revealed by a country mile?  In terms of raw power (ie just draw and spam the card late game), they’re barely good enough, but the ability to fill mana for tempo on early turns like that is just amazing, particularly in hunter, where hero power early is weak.

    posted a message on Shaman needs nerfed yesterday

    UUU Death Knight feels completely unfair, and suspect that its consistency will give it better numbers than Evolve Shaman.

    Evolve Shaman’s best draw of T2 premier 10 drop is impossible to beat, but it’s a 3 card combo and needs the coin to work.

    posted a message on Cant open Standard packs

    On IOS, obviously now that March has dropped, I want to open my standard packs before new packs to maximise the chances of getting March cards.  The client freezes every time I try to open a standard pack.

    Anyone else hit this?

    Edit: I tried opening a March pack and it works, but Standard packs are still b0rked.  Annoying, in order to play with  March today I’ll have to open my March packs first, which is definitely suboptimal :(
