Discuss this Week's Brawl
If you want to discuss this brawl with fellow brawlers, head on over to the discussion thread!
This co-op brawl for sure need to have a way to communicate between the 2 players they are fun but a lot of the times you're stuck with idiots that got no clue about the win condition of these brawls and do all sorts of stupid shit.
I get why there isn't a direct chat with the person you're playing against and that you actually need to wait until the game is done to talk to the other player (to avoid flaming and the game is aimed at kids as well) but if you are expecting me to cooperate with another human at least let me talk to them so we both know the plan. This could be easily fixed by allowing you to add your current opponent as a friend and not just after the game, this way you can control who you want to talk to and also get to chat with your current opponent.
I know this couls bring many issues and if that's the case just make this in-game chat available for co-op brawls cause it really can get annoying af to try to get this brawls' packs if you get some dumb idiots.
Surprisingly good brawl. You need a good team mate to make it happen; as Nefarian gets angrier the challenge also increases.
Co-op Tavern Brawls consistently rank as the most hated Brawls of all, so why do they insist on keeping them around?
They are awesome and a refreshing change to how you play Hearthstone - it's only brawl mode for 5 days.....
i'll be honest and say i screwed up my first attempt by getting in a hurry by lowering the attack of my minion instead of the boss. Sorry partner!
If you get a full board he clears it. However there's no spell, animation or even a trigger in the game history bar. This used to be the case and I thought it was a bug or oversight but it still hasn't been fixed.
What in the goddamn fuck blizzard. I'm fine with having this be a condition in the game but for god's sake maybe give players prior warning? It's not even in the extended brawl description up top. That's why I came here, to see if this was a consistent oversight, and apparently it is.
Well, it is not a bug, but a limitation of the engine. You can't put more than 7 minions on the board, but nefarian takes one "spot". Each time he switches sides, he need space to land, and, if he doesn't have, he "make space" for itself, clearing all board.
Although I agree that Blizzard should place a warning at the start of the game, that you can not place 7 minions
That's the reason.
I understand that you can't have more than 7 minions in play in HS, but having Neffie bump off the rightmost minion on your board would make the most sense to me. Someone clearly went to the lengths to program the brawl in such a way that he clears the whole board, and it's weird to me that there's no proper animation, history trigger, etc. like you have for literally everything else that happens in the game, including all the other actions by Nefarian. Again, it really seems like an oversight more than anything.
I'm not even arguing that Nefarian should be nerfed per se, I think he's fine as long as your partner isn't an utter mong, but if Neffie's going to have this board clear ability, implement it fully, not this half-assed version that feels like a buggy beta.
Well, a smart partner knows win condition at first try, lucky day. Got my pack and I'm out :D
Same for me :)
I have a love-hate relationship with these brawls....
I love the idea. I hate the fact that 80% of all players have no idea about winning conditions whatsoever....
Unfortunately this is damn true
Weird bug in 2019. Had Nef down to 60hp and my opponent had a full board. I thought we were toast but when he cast twisted light, he exploded and we got our pack. I was stunned, but I'll take it!
I just got paired with 3 priests in a row who used their Divine Spirit's to buff minions with just a few HP... Why are there so many retard people playing Hearthstone? That card is about the only way to win this Brawl yet they all manage to fuck it up.
I just ragequit a game where I had the Dragonstalker guy, the one that gets +1+1 for every card played, on the board and my opponent uses divine spirit inner fire to buff a refreshment vendor up to 10/10.
There is only so much stupidity I can bear to deal with.
Dude, give people a break. I would suggest having friends for this sort of brawl but many of the general population doesn't know the ins and outs of a brawl, especially on the first day when they are playing it for the first time.
Hell, I played it whenever the hell it was last up and I still forgot what was going on. Couldn't remember the thresholds for his board wipes or to reserve the divine spirit. Still won by powering up some drakes near the end.
It's pretty fun yea IF YOUR "PARTNER" ISN'T RETARDED
Good thing you can co-op with a friend now, otherwise I'd really be screaming
hate this brawl....
when he yells at morgl im like 'elemental destruction? thats pretty bad'
but when he yells at anduin...
