Rewards Track Client Patch - Updated With Gold Swaps For Packs
Blizzard just sent out a client patch with the announced changes to the Reward Track, swapping certain Packs later in the track for Gold rewards. Read the precise swaps below!
Quote from BlizzardHey everyone,
We’re currently deploying a client hotfix that includes the following:
Updated items on the Rewards Track.
- Level 33 – Old: Year of the Dragon Card Pack → New: 150 Gold
- Level 37 – Old: Scholomance Academy Card Pack → New: 200 Gold
- Level 40 – Old: Madness at the Darkmoon Faire Card Pack → New: 200 Gold
- Level 42 – Old: Ashes of Outland Card Pack → New: 200 Gold
- Level 46 – Old: Madness at the Darkmoon Faire Card Pack → New: 300 Gold
- Level 48 – Old: Year of the Dragon Card Pack → New: 300 Gold
Until this hotfix is fully deployed, some players may get the new rewards but still see the old ones. If you reached these milestones before we implemented these changes, you’ll be retroactively compensated up to the level you reached in a future update.
There still stealing from us.. where is the 10 gold for 3 wins? what we have now give us less
I am still unsure how it turns out. Before expansion I had 14k gold. Generally every expansion I made 3-4K gold and spend the same amount, so that I never pay for anything for 3 years already and always stay above 10k.
I did all the dayli quests and got atleast 3 win a day - 10g. WIll see if by the start of next I have my gold back or not.
But that again I prefer to play one maximum two decks per expansion so I need to craft very little, maybe that is why I have gold and dust bank (20k+-).
Yeah if you only count gold in the new system, and not the "gifts" you get an average of 1857 xp per day from quests alone and a max of 400 xp per hour, that is similar to getting the following:
52 gold per day,
11 gold per hour,
During the first 50 levels
and
62 gold per day.
13 gold per hour.
During the 100 bonus levels.
So players who only does dailies and play around an hour a day get somewhere a bit over 8000 gold and a few bonus gifts. (Not counting achievement xp).
So it is why worse for the win grinders, however I you must have played more then 10 gold per day, since with the same calculation if and expansion is actually 17 weeks that I have counted on and you only do 60 gold quest, and get 10 gold per day then you should only get 8 330. So you should have received many more 10 gold wins, and if that was under less then an our, then the new system is way worse. But if you instead don't care as much about winning and instead spread out your play during different hours in a day, then you should be able to get around the same.... Yeeeeeeay....
I think they made the system like this mostly so those who buy pack will have an easier time in ranked, then free to play players, since free to play can't really get much gold until further in to the expansion, they just get a few small starters.
I just checked the end amount of gold and currently with latest changes entire track 1-50 gives 5550 gold(+some packs but lets ignore them) and resets every expansion.
So just by getting to end of it every expansion I will get more gold than before.
It then all falls on how hard is to get lvl 50 atleast withing one expansion that I cannot judge yet.
So I am still open minded about it, especially after the end track reward changes.
Yeah, the bonuses should just be bonuses, so we get a bit more gold after the first part.
And if we count the xp you get on average per day it's 1857 xp per day from quest (If we merge daily and weekly), and if we add 400 xp per day from just playing, then it takes 87 days, maximum to get to the bonus levels. So if an expansion is exactly 17 weeks, as I have heared that it is, then you will have 32 days off bonus level. (Not counting achievements, and extra play)
I start to see the issue did all daylies+weeklies and barely got 1,5 lvl it seems soon i will get barely one lvl per week which is riduculous.
Ive been playing and paying for all the sets for the past 3-4 years, and going to delete the game for good. This isn’t a strategy game anymore and isn’t f2p. Blizzard is using every known tactic when it comes to profiting off of addictive tendencies to get people to spend more. Almost all the cards are RNG and standard just results in people playing the same 3 meta decks over and over. I am moving on to games that I can pay $30-60 for and get the whole complete game, not just 4 legendaries that i may or may not ever play in a deck.
I 100% agree with you. Hearthstone always relied on RNG more than it's competitors, but this has become ridiculous. You discover a discover that discover a spell that discovers a spell and you discover the answer. Absolutely disgusting. Every game is boring and you already know the exact deck your opponent is playing because literally eeeeveryone netdecks and every game feels like rock,paper,scissors because it is exactly that.
I also deleted HS and feel amazing. I am now playing Gwent and I IMPLORE YOU, do try it out. It has MINIMAL rng and it TRULY is a strategy game because it requires a lot of ACTUAL THINKING. It feels like chess, where Hearthstone felt like checkers.
You basically don't have to spend a dime, but CDPR is so generous with their rewards, that you will end up paying for some things, just to help the game and it's developers.
It's artstyle is pure art. Very mature and gritty. Unlikr Blizzard, who in order to please their Chinese overlords, reduced the volumen of female breasts; removed nearly all gore; replaced a succubus with a FELLHOUND LMAO.
All in all- whoever has some dignity will leave Hearthstone. After you try Gwent you'll realize the toxic relationship that is HS and will NEVER LOOK BACK. That's a promise.
HI all,
I have been playing the game since open beta. As f2p player from blitzchung controversy. Sadly these changes are pushing me to stop playing HS completely cuz its obvious I will be unable to collect/craft enough cards to play competitive decks on ladder in couple of months / next expansions. Also its almost impossible to build some classes (war, priest, mage) - too expensive. As someone mentioned its crazy that you pay 4x a year such amount of money to get almost nothing or build like one deck and play it exclusively.
Sad story Blizzard, I am playing PC games since 1992 and gaming is not only to make money. Best games you did were for the love for games and community. Few megabites of data with huge amount of content. You have chosen the wrong way.
I too am a ftp player. Before the expansion I would play one game of arena followed by ranked and slowly build up to 4000/5000 gold by the time the next expansion rolls out.
I haven't looked in to the details but the sheer fact that I'm on minimal gold after about a week of playing is completely different from my previous experience. I feel as though I'm making no progress and if this continues by the time the next expansion rolls out I cannot see the point in continuing.
As a ftp player, I really hope these changes get reversed.
Yeah I think it is to boost the "fun" for paying customers. Spread out during the expansion none win grinders, will kinda get the same, but most of it will be at the end of a expansion.
I think they made the system like this mostly so those who buy pack will have an easier time in ranked, then free to play players, since free to play can't really get much gold until further in to the expansion, they just get a few small starters.
i don't understand why they don't just bring back the gold for wins and let battle pass just replace the daily quests. i mean 80g per day won't break the bank for them. it's so cheap and short sighted. that one fix would make this mess go away and yet they refuse.
Because then they would be getting double the gold they were before? I feel like expecting them to give you an extra 60-70 free packs per expansion is a little unrealistic dude.
.....Why? You don't get enough currently. Other games give far more. They should be vastly increasing progression to match their competitors, not reducing it!
If they doubled the amount of gold you got in the previous system, you would STILL not get half the legendaries from each set!
I bet you it was that fat little bitch Bobby Kotick
how so? Ive gotten more daily value compared to last expantion with 1 or 2 lvls a day, Ive heard of players hitting a wall at some point but I cant complain untill I reach that and they might boost exp gain over time.
ohh no, fanbase has gotten drunk on power after bliz has accepted one of their demands and new demands keep comming.
I got some of my own! I want full dust refund from disenchant, a reroll rng button, unending daily challenge chain and a gold refund for 0 wins.
you get a slap in the face and dont even notice it... I would call that ignorance.
It isn't exactly easy to notice though honestly. Even now I'm still not sure whether I profit or get screwed from the new system.
Yeah naw that still sucks.
