Andrei2007 posted a message on Nobody judges this game objectivelyPosted in: General DiscussionYou cannot have objective discussions about balance, because there is no set guidelines of what is "fair" and the card design philosophy also changes frequently. Defending a busted interaction that was overlooked by devs and pointing towards a counter that makes your deck worse is pretty stupid though. As for freebies, i am of course happy to get them, but let's not forget the number of legendaries, the number of expansions and minisets, the number of classes have all increased, and pack prices have also increased. The freebies don't make up for these practices.

SavageMind posted a message on SuspiciousPosted in: General DiscussionQuote from InfinityRocketPlastics >>You don't have any evidence for any of that, you're starting from your conclusion (I feel like I get unlucky too often so the game must be manipulating its RNG somehow) and working backwards from there.
There is a lot of evidence. There is a blizzard patent for the matchmaking system where you can adjust the whole game outcome using some variables/controls to give a player higher chance of winning so that player can feel "good". The system wants everyone to feel "good". https://patents.google.com/patent/US20160001181A1/en
They sometimes match you against decks that may convince you to spend money to craft those decks.
In one implementation, the microtransaction engine may target particular players to make game-related purchases based on their interests. For example, the microtransaction engine may identify a junior player to match with a marquee player based on a player profile of the junior player. In a particular example, the junior player may wish to become an expert sniper in a game (e.g., as determined from the player profile). The microtransaction engine may match the junior player with a player that is a highly skilled sniper in the game. In this manner, the junior player may be encouraged to make game-related purchases such as a rifle or other item used by the marquee player.
In one implementation, when a player makes a game-related purchase, the microtransaction engine may encourage future purchases by matching the player (e.g., using matchmaking described herein) in a gameplay session that will utilize the game-related purchase. Doing so may enhance a level of enjoyment by the player for the game-related purchase, which may encourage future purchases. For example, if the player purchased a particular weapon, the microtransaction engine may match the player in a gameplay session in which the particular weapon is highly effective, giving the player an impression that the particular weapon was a good purchase. This may encourage the player to make future purchases to achieve similar gameplay results.
So please stop calling some people paranoids because everyone who took this game seriously knows how it works. It's not a game of skill for 99%, it's just following the meta created by the algorithm. Look at the top 3 decks atm. How can you say this is a game of skill and the matchmaking system is based on skill?

jjgamesworth posted a message on SuspiciousPosted in: General DiscussionBlizzard for sure matches you with certain decks or starting hands that they know will cause a loss. It prevents ppl from going on 20 game winstreaks, limits the amount of ppl in legend and keeps you playing the game. Like how you get to rank 3 diamond, you're ranking up and next thing you know you're on a losing streak and now rank 4 or 5. Now you feel compelled to keep playing to get your og rank back to retain some sense of progression. In legend I havent gone on 1 losing streak, I never lose more than 2 games in a row. You would think if you're in legend and you're facing hypothetically the best and most intelligent players in the game, you would lose more games in legend than in ranks 5 to 1, right? No because they no longer have an incentive to "de-rank" you anymore to keep you playing and motivated. Only ~25k pll make it to legend and there are plenty of decks that have high enough winrates to get there so why have the same amount of ppl reach legend over the years? Obviously persistence is key and some ppl just aren't persistent enough and the matching is not in their favor.

It would be so cool if we could modify Hearthstone to our own liking.

Paying 35$ for one card or 60$ for 3 cards is crazy to me.
I don't really care that it's a signature card. What does signature even stand for? does it do anything more than an average card? It just looks a bit flashy, that's it.
I'm okay with pack bundles as I used to buy those before. Like a Hero skin and 5 packs, that's decent I guess for 10$ (I "used to buy" them but stopped as they started printing new ones 3 times a week)
For each their own I guess. Some people will buy it and I'm sure Bli$$ard has customers for all the other shop items they present

Holy Wrath Paladin is just an oversight of the development team that effected the whole Wild meta Either there was not enough play testing or it was pure laziness, aka, let's just go live, see what is broken, and fix it later. The same story repeats every time a new expansion or mini-set goes live.
I'm not saying it's not broken because it is but with a huge card pool in the wild section that is bound to happen every now and then. It happened before and probably will happen again.
In my opinion, it was just a badly designed card that didn't take Wild into consideration as they, most likely, don't do any play testing in Wild

Blizzard only cares about money. That is a fact. Because it's a business after all and it needs to be sustainable.
The balance changes they do is to keep the players. If they keep the players they keep the money in.
When the players get bored we bring an expansion to keep them playing. Keep the players, keep the money, and try to earn more by selling skins, bundles, and battle passes.
I'm actually pleased with the number of packs, skins, and drops we get for free and I used to pay and buy bundles and skins until it just got too much and too expensive. I used to buy 3 mega bundles a year and season passes and stuff like that. a hero skin now and there. When I put everything on paper I spent about 300-400€ a year. And after that, I just realized that I'd rather spend money on other AAA games than invest in the same grinding random thing called Hearthstone
As for the game itself. What do you consider balance? It will never be balanced. There will always be classes that have a higher win rate than others. A full balance is never achievable. At the end of the day, it's an RNG-based game where skill is second to being lucky and just grinding with " top tier" decks to achieve a higher rank. If you want a completely balanced game play chess where skill is the main factor.

It's just more of a reason for me to stay F2p.
The more they announce paying more for stupid things the more it pushes me to remain a f2p.
Don't get me wrong I was a whale before I bought everything they had. But I stopped because it got so expensive. I'd rather buy other games for other consoles ( and PC ) than constantly invest in this game.
I understand they want to monetize it and all but I believe if you put things all together it costs 300€ plus per year to be relevant in both constructed and BG's and for that you can get 6 ( SIX)! AAA games throughout the year.
Good luck Bli$$ard but I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. I'll still play F2p until I get bored with it but I will not be investing in ONE game

I stopped playing months ago. It's not so fun anymore, to be honest. It was too expensive for a card game. I still enjoy battlegrounds now and then

Terrible deck. If it works once in 6 games consider yourself lucky.

Some people still do have fun playing the game.
Maybe it's just that you don't have any fun playing in this meta which is okay.
I usually stop when I don't find the meta interesting. I did however find Relic DH quite fun and a decent deck.
My advice would be maybe to try different game modes until you find the meta playable and fun again.

damn. Wild is gonna be wild.
