Tune in and be the first to know what’s coming in the final phase of the Year of the Phoenix!
Has anyone else received the drops in PlayHearthstone? my account was connected to my Battle.net and nothing
I hope all the new players without NAXX cards will play duels with same new players.
NAXX OUT BTW
As a person who was quite tired of constructe, I play PvP quite often, and am realy into the 'dungeon run' mode. A new game mode where I can play this with players looks great.
Are we going to keep the 3 wins gold?
Yes that isn’t going away. This system revamp is adding onto our current rewards, not taking away
Hope u are right man....
When you play that 6/9 minion the summon sound will be *plop* "Noice"
Yesss. The two weird looking tadpoles were praising the new system, while to me it looks like that first few hours of every f2p game, where it seems all you do is get rewarded and whatnot, only for it too bonk you over the head with tons of grinding down the road (or not, if you decide to pay).
La concha de su madre! Es una verga todo esto hijos de puta! Me hacen gastar mi plata en cosas que quiero tener, pero no quiero que existan
Will there be anything else after that Kripp-Kibler duo?
Because it's IMO the worst part of stream right now... So boring...
Am I missing something with the 10 mana rabbit? It seems really slow for it's effect, unless there is going to be a new way to cheat out large minions not revealed yet.
10 mana to potentially destroy 3 minions seems fine to me.
On paper it seems fine but it's way too slow, the meta will always gravitate toward mostly aggressive decks with how ladder works so in most match ups it will never really be useful. There will be niche interactions where you get to destroy 30 mana worth of minions, but so would a simple 6 mana removal spell.
They've mentioned many times the Duels are available today, with the remark "Pre-purchase to get access to Duels" only written somewhere below. So you CAN'T play it today, unless you pay them. Probably they are ashamed to mention that verbally.
Another BS is the quests. The guy said we are lucky to have the Tavern pass since quests will expire every 3 days, but guess what. You need to do quests to progress, quests that expire every 3 days.
THIS GAME IS DEAD
when is the patch comming?
In 2 hours.
"This hero power seems broken."
No shit. Didn't we learn that deal 1 damage and kill to summon a minion (specifically one of the worst snowballing minions in the game) was broken with Frostlich Jaina?
Well. I guess I'll keep playing Battlegrounds. I dusted my previous sets cards.
I'm excited for duels. This is exactly why I never disenchanted rotating cards, cause I knew eventually a new game mode would come that requires them.
