Not what the article said - if you queue up a standard deck in casual, you'll be matched against players also playing standard decks. If wild, then wild. Presumably the same goes for Classic.

3nnu1 posted a message on Since hearthstone has given up the gold economy, are f2p players now unable to compete in standard?Posted in: General DiscussionSo I spent money on the mini expansions when I first started playing hearthstone, but went f2p when they moved to 3 expansions a year.
Since that time I have been f2p and have been able to maintain a decent collection, get 80-100 packs every expansion and continue to enjoy the game. I make legend pretty much every time I shoot for it (for example 4 of the last 6 months). So I could have continued to go on like this for as long as hearthstone was a thing.
There were leaked details a while back of what this system would look like. The gold rewards would be nerfed, and basically only people who spent money could open enough packs to compete in standard on opening day.
The most fun I would have in hearthstone would be on release day, opening those packs, trying out the new decks, trying to home brew my own, trying to figure out which crafts were worth it. Balancing the need to earn rewards with the limited resources of a f2p. Was a fun little mental challenge which sparked my interest 3x a year.
If what was said about this new track is accurate. All of this will go out the window with the new system. Even with max rewards, you could open max say 40 packs on opening day which would make competing in standard impossible and depressing. I could limp along in wild, which I may do, I do have quite an extensive collection at this point. But basically, unless this new system is completely different than what was leaked. I am basically unable to play standard competively as a F2P next year (I will still be able to buy 100 packs of the new expansion this time around).
So I am curious what the rest of you think of this. Should a f2p be able to compete by grinding quests and managing resources? Or should we be relegated to being 2nd class citizens and lose out on the pleasure of enjoying release day?

Oldogs posted a message on Worst timing for an expansion release ever?Posted in: General DiscussionI support the idea of Ultrajeeves as we can play the new content sooner. I am an F2P player and this reduces my gold but almost always every day I play Hearthstone so I have no problem. I prefer new cards and content as soon as possible than waiting every 4 months.

RAGEdarky posted a message on So, what do you think about Duels?Posted in: General DiscussionCan't play 'em cuz I'm a f2p player and the game doesn't allow me to proceed before buying some useless pre-order stuff.

UltraJeeves posted a message on Worst timing for an expansion release ever?Posted in: General DiscussionIn recent times I've tended to amass slightly over 8,000 gold in the 4 months leading up to a new expansion - mostly completing my dailies on ladder. While I suspect I play more than most, I doubt I'm a complete outlier or my experience is too atypical.
Releasing Darkmoon Faire 3 weeks earlier than expected means my pile will be about 1,400 gold or 14 expansion packs lighter. On the upside, we get to play the new content sooner.
Additionally, landing in the mid-diamond ranks most months nets me an additional 8 packs per month (4 SA and 4 classic packs), a sprinkling of dust and gold, and the occasional epic card. I have 5-6 Arena tickets, too, with rewards attached.
HS isn't cheap or overly generous, but I don't mind paying for a game that I play regularly and is being actively developed.
The upcoming game changes sound promising. Let's see.

I am seeing these "because of covid" reasons. You guys realize that game sales and microtransactions have been at an all time high during covid?

Finally! A neutral anti combo card.

Interesting point. It might also work like Velen, where its doubles the double so you would get 4x copies
