dude, it's not.
Why should they compensate people? Are you being serious? If you disenchanted one of the cards at some point since booms day release, that was absolutely your own choice to do.
So they even have a way to track what has previously been in your collection but dusted? Is this coded in or anything? If not, how would it work? Is it possible? They would surely have to keep some sort of temp database in the background. It could be my ignorance but that seems like a really pointless thing to design if it were even designed.
Stop making it out like it's a Blizzard thing. What you're asking just doesn't seem reasonable from any company.
So let me get this straight, you bought this product, didn't like it so you threw it in the bin 3 months ago. We've now released an improved version of that product and because you now like the improved version more than the one you threw away, you want to purchase that one at half the cost'?
What? How do you see this as being punished?
Nooo he did not say they SHOULD. He said it would be nice. Ofc it was his own choice and he says that in his comment.
I agree on the tracking thing, seems pretty imposible. that would be too much useless, worthless data to collect. here nobody can argue.
He never said it's a Blizzard thing. what?
This example is pretty bad as if you never threw out the product, you'd be left with the same, old, not updated product. it would never get better over time, never get an update that would make it better. you could maybe compare it to a situation like: you have a chance to get a free key to a game. it's pretty bad, so you just don't take it. you don't like all the bugs and the graphics suck. then a couple months later the game gets the 2.0 update where they fix all the bugs and make new graphics. you could have this game now. for free. but you ignored it when it was bad.
that is a punishment. not a punishment by blizzard, but punishment by your own stupidity/thinking. still a punishment
"We did such a great job man, I don't know."
"What bothers you dude ?"
"I'ts just... Buffing the weak cards... Giving away golden Legendaries. What's next ? Ingame purchase discounts ? How many games died this way ?"
"I've got you man. They need pain in exchange. Have anything on your mind ?"
"That 3 mana Echo Mech... Can we make it magnetic ?"
one skilled person can make a comics... It will happen eventually...
nah they said "we should nerf preparation and kill all dem rogues, not only the tempo rogue but ALL OF THE ROGUES"
So SN1P-SN4P gets the echo keyword. But Witch's Brew doesn’t.
Nice way to be constant Blizzard 🙄.
Like a million people before already stated, it's because this one is rotating alongside with Witchwood, while Witch's Brew won't.
I agree, it is an outrage!
I don't see a problem with reusing a keyword in later expansions just because the expansion that introduced it rotated out. In fact, we're already seeing some keywords reused this way: Lifesteal, Rush.
They do that when they introduce new Evergreen mechanics. Echo isn't versatile enough to be Evergreen, meaning very few cards would use the keyword. If Witch's Brew is the only Echo card in Standard, that would be a little weird.
I really like the buff of The Storm Bringer :-) Welcome to my even shaman deck!
Really? It won't fit in current ones as you run overstatted guys rather than tokens...
maybe with thunderhead now but still seems a bit slow
The 4-spot in even shaman is ultra competetive. Jadebolt, FF and totemlover are all amazing, but Piloted Shredder, Hench-Clan Hag and Jade Spirit are very viable options too.
thats true and i could be wrong but i think thunderhead will out class all but the first three you mentioned and can really work well with all the overload
Buffs? OP new mech legendary? My mind is blown ... and I love it!
Blizzard workers chat:
- Let's make the game even better.
- Wait what are you doing???
zzzzz
- Oh, I love that fuse thing.
I don't know how good/bad the buffs are but I really like that they are trying this to increase diversity. Double thumbs up!!!
Very nice for the others, but... Did Crystology and Pogo-Hopper (and maybe Security Rover too) really need a buff?!?!?
You still wouldn't put Rover or Nullifier in a deck. You're now even happier to get them from Assembly or Delivery Drone now though
