Hearthpwn

Could be cool of Dragons will be mostly large tier 5/6 minions so they're more like a late game transition thingy. I feel like the game currently lacks late game finishers to make quick leveling a truly viable strategy. 

BG's is ok but there needs to be rewards. Like a ranking system we have in standard or wild. Or quests specifically for BG's and so on.
Now it's just a beta which adds nothing but a fun play. Players need goals to keep it exciting.

How about we leave out the reward thingy and just start with a ranking system that feels meaningful? :)

Going from Gold 1 to Plat 4 in TFT feels quite meaningful to me. Can't really say the same for going from 4980 to 5070.

Nah, rewards are everything.

Do you still grind to legend every month? for your shitty golden classic cards? It's not fun, it's not rewarding, and you can't keep up with the pros unless you dedicate your life to it like a streamer.

I stopped grinding about a year ago, imagine the incentive to grind if they offered packs for various placements in the season? How many more people would play ranked ladder or actually try in BGs If you started to earn packs instead of 10g for 3 wins? 1 pack for seasonal participation, 5 packs for rank 10, 10 packs rank 5, 15 packs legend, 25 top 500 legend? That seems pretty reasonable to me, it takes a lot of time to grind to those higher points, they definitely deserve some sort of reward. Card backs mean absolutely nothing.

Probably the most enjoyable part of MTG is being able to expand your collection and trade for cards with your tournament prize winnings. You could literally go into a 4 round swiss pre-release tournament and win 20 packs for just winning four rounds.

What do we do in hearthstone? Pay money for digital cards with no value whatsoever. When I quit magic I sold my collection for $5000USD, bought a gaming PC and took my wife to the Dominican. What's my hearthstone collection worth? ZERO.

As per the topic, hoping for a dragon tribe to diversify bgs a bit more. It was spoiled long ago considering many of the cards have buff dragons in their text.

I don't really care about the value of my account. I have 95% of all cards ever released but It's just for me.

I do however agree with rewarding x packs for getting to x rank instead of just a few gold cards. 
The rewards are not high enough.
Getting 10 packs a month for getting to legendary is not too much of a reward if you ask me.
Still takes forever to get a decent collection that way, so Blizzard will still make plenty of money. 
More than they do now actually, as it will keep people more motivated to play.

If it wasn’t fo BG i would have quit after 1-2 days into the expansion. For me BG is Hearthstone 2.0

I quit HS and play BG only. For me it is a new title 

I came back after two years beacuse bg

I came back after 6 years.

Nice, as long as the next update doesn't say that it's reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally just around the corner.

true

And still not as useless and lame as your comment huh

If only Blizzard had/would spend half the energy making standard/wild balanced as BGs... And fix the buckets in arena, it's as if this RNG mobile unfriendly mode is 100% more important than the actual game.

They wouldn't even need BGs to keep HS a float if they had taken care of the game in the first place. 

The game is not worse because BGs takes devs away from the main game, I really don't get the hate for BG's.

Constructed is as bad, or as good, depending if you like it or not, as it has been for the last 2-3 years. BGs is a completely new mode and it's only natural it gets tweeks and patches more often than a 6 year old game. 

HS will never be perfectly balanced, there will always be cards/classes almost no one plays, and there will be ones that feel OP and everyone plays them and everyone hates them. 

Personally I wish the Hearthstone community would spend half the energy on finding another game they like that they do on hating on the game they have chosen to play.

There are no buckets in arena anymore since about 6 month. Each card has an assigned probability and they are doing micro-adjustments to those. But dunno how often. Maybe they need to do this more often.

I'm happy that people enjoy bgs really, but I just cant get excited about it. Just Waiting on the new year announcement.
