I think the entitlement/naivete in this post in interesting. You are playing an online game (with a high population of toxic/troll players) in a format and setting that does not lend itself to politeness. Even if the other player does catch on to what you are doing, most don't care and I would even argue laugh at the fact that they are preventing you from completing it. I am not saying this to be rude or mean to you I am simply advising to temper your expectations of others when interacting in a competitive digitial (with no accountability) setting. Hope you get it completed :)

Not true. I would gold cap 4 days a week easy.

Y'all trippin' this is super fun! When it gets fully released it will only improve.

Small indie company strikes again:

1- Cards not adding lackeys to the player's hand when they should (super embarrassing).

2- Cora Georgiou is a terrible Hearthstone player.

3- Super annoying talk (much more than usual), especially thanks to this lady, Cora Georgiou.

4- Not even a funny moment (at least none yet).

5- Roping almost every single turn.

Ok, the stream hasn't ended yet, but it is so bad I'm feeling sorry for Peter Whelen. :P It is really hard to continue watching it, feels like torture...

What are your thoughts, people?

 ABSOLUTELY THE WORST!  I didn't know who Cora was before this stream, and I have zero clue why she was choosen, she is a DOG SHIT player!  They should of gotten Hafu or Alliestraza!  I've been saying for ever, get a good female player that's easy on the eyes!  It should only be 2 people talking about cards the most.  I hate Peter Whalen with a burning passion, he's this frail little geek who sucks his teeth when he laughs, I just can't stand him and looking at him talk makes me wanna barf.  That community manager couldn't speak and was tripping over his words, it really breaks my heart and I miss the days of Ben Brode!  We didn't even know how great we had it with him being behind the scenes at Hearthstone.

I had a feeling things were buggy because this expansion feels kinda out of sorts with how long the tease was lasting.  I liked the decks they showed off, and some cards got me really excited!  I just wish they would of got a player who knew her ass from a hole in the ground!  

 sexism at its finest lawl

english probably not first language of OP you jackles

OP may be right. The fact that you get the priest hero with pre-order leads me to believe blizz is trying to give you an excuse to play priest because the cards coming wont be enough alone.

74 packs waiting 5k dust 5k gold. shudderwock and tess inc

And that is the real problem. We don't need emotes to be taken away. People need to stop assuming that everything that is done is purposefully meant to degrade them. I shouldn't be made to feel like a villain because your insecurities are being projected to every aspect of your life.

I have 20 min queue for Classic Mode today. When did that start? Is everybody off grinding mercenaries or is this broken too?

Quote from Crusader2020 >>

Everyone is doing anything else than playing classic probably. And it's not broken... it's maybe the most balanced compared to most of the standard rotations...

 I assume OP meant "broken" as in bugged and not working correctly, not unbalanced.

But I would have to guess that the novelty of classic has dried up and people have moved on again. They are indeed spreading the player base thinner and thinner these days... 

Is that Joe Biden in the graphic?

Hey Farva, whats the name of the restaurant you like with all the goofy stuff on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?

I was a bit quick to defend blizzard. my love for this company goes back to the first warcraft when I was in grade 8. I feel connected, in a weird way, to the company. I was raised on their games. I've played hearthstone since GvG and absolutely fell in love with it. However for the last 2 years i've slowly started stepping away from the game, due to the escalating price to play, but felt rejuvinated with the new expansion and the promise of a new and 'super-rewarding' reward system. I am now at level 23 and am absolutely going nowhere. I'm at a dead standstill. I have 0 gold in the bank. 0 quests to earn me anything, and 0 reward for playing for a couple hours today. I have spent way too much money on this game, and can honestly say I am 100% done with giving them any more.

I'm pretty much at the end of my time with blizzard. They're definitely not the company they once were, and it's genuinely heart breaking.

That is much better communication.

Conspiracy theory was a term developed to discredit people telling truths that the power structure did not want spoken. It was a way to discrediting people without having to deal with the subject they are talking about.  So when the mods here say they don't want conspiracy theories, what they really don't want is people to speak the truth about this game. 

 Um, bullshit? Conspiracy theories are theories based on no or weak evidence meant to incite others. If you don't have proof, it's not the truth. And even if it's true, you're more likely to be right by coincidence.

People don't even present STATISTICS when they talk about Blizzard stacking the game, or whatever they think they're doing. They just go "Oh, it feels true,"

And this wouldn't be the thread for that anyway...

Anyway, I'm sick of getting high rolled. Kinda wish the game wasn't built around it quite as much.

 Your modernity brainwashing has taught you that you need an exact smoking gun to believe anything. Have the guts to stop being in denial about things that everyone knows it’s true. That’s called an open secret. Don’t go and say game isn’t rigged then contradict yourself in the very next sentence. Stop being naive.

 This type of nuttery has become commonplace in all points of society.

Why would someone believe something there is no EVIDENCE for??. Millions of people play Hearthstone. A few hundred people get salty and start screaming about the game being rigged. That doesn't make it so. Hearthstone literally has NOTHING to gain. People always scream about poker sites being rigged too. Like a site would throw away a multi-million dollar organization, just to make 200 people lose. How stupid is that? People deconstruct coding on games all the time looking for fishy things. When they find stuff, it's all over gaming news. When they don't, no one says anything, because there's nothing to say. 

A bunch of people patting themselves on the back, reassuring each other that something is true without evidence is called confirmation bias. If you need confirmation bias, your idea probably isn't true.

lol no, mtg pirate warrior and KotfT Jade druid metas were faaaar worse

as for the rest of the post:

the last few months into an epansion are always the most boring ones as there are almost no new decks(with a few exceptions like heal zoo) and the existing ones are so even that you can't really nerf any of them. The only way to change that is by releasing more cards, but even that barely changes the meta.

Quote from MeatThrob >>

Nope. Wrong. 

For most, to climb to legend you need to have an Arsenal of good cards as the meta always changes. The matchups you face because of the MMR system will lock you out. This is how Blizzard designed the game.. 

so you have to buy cards! Or spend an insane amount of hours grinding as F2P. 

but also.. what’s the point of getting Legend anyways? Bragging rights? 

“hey bro I spent $300 and got Legend” 

you bro is like “$300 on a damn card game? Lol”

sticking with a budget deck and trying to grind to legend is madness. 

 What do you mean the MMR system will "lock you out"? What would you be locked out of? Or are you one of the people who have completely misunderstood MMR and think it means they choose what class you go against? 

The META does not change as frequently as you suggest, not at all. Of it were week to week then sure, but it isn't.

The simple fact that you seek to genuinely think you need to spend £300 to hit legend suggests you're deliberately exaggerating, lying or that you actually think it does, which would make me assume that you aren't a particularly good player. I have no idea what skill level you are at, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and think that you're being disingenuous to further your point. Which, by the way, is a really poor way to bring other people round to your way of thinking.

Well, the short answer is yes, legend has become easier to achieve. 

However, this is greatly exaggerated. Essentially what has happened is that a lot of the people who were rank 5 regulars in the old system have managed to get to legend. This is because the grind has become much less. Essentially, all of the people who are 'good enough' to hit legend are now able to. In the past, the consensus was if you could hit rank 5 every season with ease, if you grinded enough you would make it to legend. Most people just weren't willing to make that grind. 

However, now many less games are required. The star bonus quickly accelerates you to Diamond (Typically 10 or 5), and you only have to have to be 15 games positive from D5, as opposed to the 25 from rank 5. 

Essentially, it takes less games to hit D5 then it did to hit rank 5, and it takes less games to hit legend from D5 than it did from rank 5. As such, legend is unmistakably easier to achieve. 

HOWEVER: I see lots of players saying 'everyone can hit legend now, its so easy, hurr hurr.' These people are simply incorrect. Bad players are still 'skill capped' at whatever level of play they are. The reason people get stuck in gold, platinum, or diamond is because they aren't skilled enough to climb further. These players will not climb and will not hit legend until they improve. 

The difference is that the good players are no longer 'grind capped' (I just made that term up) by the sheer number of games it used to take to hit legend. For 'legend worthy' players who have a positive winrate against other players from D5 to legend, legend is now much easier to achieve. For bad players, it is still impossible. 

This is in absolutely no way a bad thing. The game has become less grindy, and everyone should be happy about this.
