Attack and health are back, but some cards images now are broken. Like http://www.hearthpwn.com/cards/99/
Yeah this is a known issue, im working on fixing it up now
we called it beta patch one, not them.
rofl Placeholder Card new mage card incoming
Hmmm, so parrot and Old Murk-Eye we will get for all murlocks and all pirates achievements i guess. And golden versions from all golden achievemets =)
Ack. That post title is really misleading.
Agreed. For a second I thought I'd missed the start of beta by going to bed, but luckily not.
First patch of many to come. I don't doubt there'll be more NOOOOOOOOOOOO in the months to come, especially when serious beta starts and the more shrewd players get their hands on the game. Glad Blizz doesn't hold on to broken cards or concepts too hard, but simply goes to the next idea.
No they haven't. I was bored as hell when I saw the updates which made me overwhelmingly exicited. I do play on cockatrice and there is a tournament today so these changes affect me and others like me so much.
This is data mining which is done by a bot as soon as blizzard applies the patch to their version. Which would mean Blizzard just made a new patch for their closed play sessions inside the coorperation. It is not certain if this will be the beta patch or it will mean we need to wait a lot more for beta since they just changed stuff.
omg /facepalm ty so much rea I thought it was today which means I won't be able to play it next next week because we will move and won't have internet for a while.
all the people that were up till 2am to get this done are by no means "bots" :)
I am so sorry I just assumed. In that case thank you so much for all your hard work and efforts
The achievements look nice but apart form the gold murloc, gold pirate and 1000 victories it will take less than a week to get them all.
Here are the changes that excited me the most in this patch:
Jadefire Satyr was removed and replaced with Stranglethorn Tiger. Which means hunters can now have 2 stealth beasts.
Dark Summoner was removed and replaced with Spiteful Smith that has an enrage which gives your weapon +2 attack. Another minion for the weapon decks how nice.
Mana Addict was nerfed to +2 attack per spell. Shieldbearer was nerfed to have no enrage.
Murloc decks have been buffed Murloc Tidecaller now increase it's attack on summon which makes the Murloc Scout count as well. Murloc Warleader is now +2 attack instead of +1 so druid murloc decks being op as fuck are now godly overpowered.
Nat Pagle stats nerfed Lorewalker Cho stats buffed.
Gelbin Mekkatorque is now damaged beyond repair. Apart from Homing Chicken all inventions can target your minions for their negative effects or enemy for positive effects.
Wild Pyromancer now does 1 dmg to all minions including itself whenever you play a spell. It is no longer possible to get more then 2 ticks off him without heal. And also no way to deal dmg to the enemy hero with him either. On the bright side this would go extremely well with the new priest niche of increased health turns into dmg. PW:Shield it to get a lot more dmg off it. Or the warrior enrage decks that like to keep whirlwind will now have two new whirlwinds.
Force of Nature cost increased to 6 and Claw and Bite became less attack for armor addition. Bite became cheaper so Svagery opness will still stand I think. But they will get armor on top of a board clear. How lovely.
Explosive shot better aoe now and Freezing trap is definately worth it now.
Turns out Darkspear Hunter was removed to make room for Savanah Hiighmane. Starving buzzard is now summon as expected which will work off of Snake Trap. Sword of Justice for paladins is also summon which was nessasery for hero power anyway.
Fan of Knives now deals 1 dmg to all enemies and also draws you a card for 3 cost. Its basicly an aoe Shiv now with 2 extra cost. Also conceal is now 1 cost.
Flame Imp is no longer stealth and Summoning Portal got increased cost now.
The biggest changes were the priest ones. They literally removed 3 cards and gave them 3 new cards. The removed 3 cards effectively screwed my main and 2 alt priest decks while allowing one of my alt decks to be much more stronger possibly making it my new main deck.
Oh dear Death Wish was replaced with Shield Slam. This means I lost my game for nothing yesterday. The dude had 17 health, 19 armor, 2 cards in hand, no minions apart from Nat Pagle (!) on the board and already at 3 fatigue dmg while I had 6 cards in deck, 8 cards in hand and 5 minions on the board without taunt. I had 22 life; he Death Wished than Fiery War Axed me.
Wouldn't the damage from death wish + weapon be equal to shield slam + weapon? In the latter case he would still even have had his armor up
shield slam is to minions which I had 5 totaling 18 dmg. he had only 2 cards in his hand left and at 3 dmg fatigue with nat pagle as his only minion which would give him %50 chance of fatigue. He had already used his shield slams. but by deathwish he dealt 19 to me which is not possible with shiled slam anymore. Sure he would have kept his 19 armor and yh he still had 2 card but I had 8 cards plus 6 in my deck even if he cleared my board he wouldn't have been able to stop my later minions while he took fatigue in the meantime. Meaning him having armor was of no issue to me cause he would have no way of winning so I would have eventually won.
Ooh you're absolutely right, dayum
NOOOOOOOOOOOO Mental Collapse is now removed :( There goes my tornament deck based off it. , Prayer of Fortitude and Penance are also removed which reduces my spell power and minion priest deck's powers.
They are replaced with:
Inner Fire: Change a minion's Attack to be equal to its Health. Cost: 3
Lightspawn: This minion's Attack is equal to its Health. Cost: 4 Health: 4
Temple Enforcer: Battlecry: Give a friendly minion +3 Health. Cost: 6 Attack: 5 Health: 6
I just realised Inner Fire can be used on enemy minions as well to make a low health high attack minion weak.
Holy sh.t this is awsome finally our first patch notes :D
