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.
Happened to me too
Maybe wehave to pay?
The game is not fun any more, it's a how to get more xp farming tool.
Enjoy people roping and playing slow decks just for the purpose of getting more xp.
Lol noone is playing slow decks, have you even played the game lately? :D
Well, farming xp means playing slow games, means roping even with face hunter.
Have YOU been playing the game?
They should leave gold for quests and for 3 wins + include the reward track for some extra gold and packs. Then we can talk about more rewarding system.
People complained about the gold reduction with this new system and your lies Blizzard (Yes because you said that with the new ranking system we will receive more golds, but by math this is not true).
Now your are saying, ok lets adjust this mess and lets substitute some garbage old packs with golds, now by math we are giving you more golds.
Well, you are definitely not customer related and you are always pissing on your customers.
Your products are generally good and this is what keep you on market because for the remaining things are you are a disaster cash cow.
Also the new system is BAD, because it's forcing us to play game mode we don't like, for example I really don't want to play Duels, but it is needed for quests, achievments, and so on...
I know the achievement point system is basically the same as WoW, but it just sucks seeing all these points accumulating and knowing you can't do shit with them.
Like, I don't really care that I played 50 minions with rush, or gave X amount of Silver Hand Recruits Divine Shield. Sure, winning with Yogg is a pretty cool one, and those atleast grant some XP, but these points? They're worthless, so I don't care about my achievements. Why should I?
Those packs where really disgusting and looked like a bad joke, but this swap obviously NOT solving the problem in general. Its simply not enough. It was barely OK to play the game as F2P before but doable if u like the game and spend time every day. But now its unplayable at all cause u earn much less.
I was a bit quick to defend blizzard. my love for this company goes back to the first warcraft when I was in grade 8. I feel connected, in a weird way, to the company. I was raised on their games. I've played hearthstone since GvG and absolutely fell in love with it. However for the last 2 years i've slowly started stepping away from the game, due to the escalating price to play, but felt rejuvinated with the new expansion and the promise of a new and 'super-rewarding' reward system. I am now at level 23 and am absolutely going nowhere. I'm at a dead standstill. I have 0 gold in the bank. 0 quests to earn me anything, and 0 reward for playing for a couple hours today. I have spent way too much money on this game, and can honestly say I am 100% done with giving them any more.
I'm pretty much at the end of my time with blizzard. They're definitely not the company they once were, and it's genuinely heart breaking.
Not defending Blizzard, but try getting some of the expansion-specific achievements. Some of them give pretty significant experience.
That's because they're Activision. Stop calling them Blizzard and things make a lot more sense.
Before the new system, the best way to earn gold was arena not 10g/3victory because it's almost impossible to earn 100 gold each day.
Not true. I would gold cap 4 days a week easy.
I used to get the 100 g with aggro in less than 2.5 hours, with OTK in less than 3.5 hours and with control in less than 4 hours (sometimes less if I faced a lot of aggro players who would concede on turn 6-7). Now it takes at least 9 hours to get the same rewards.
And everyone says Arena is the best way to win gold, but that's false on an average 3-3 score. For someone to get 12 wins, other 4 people must lose 3 times.
Still a bullshit. I mean, why the fuck you put achievements in the game with some kind of points you gain when you make them and the only way to use those points is by wiping your ass with them ? Why do I care about achievements ? What do I achieve ? Why no more 10 gold for 3 wins ? Blizz messed it up real bad with this new system.
and the fact that we need to collect the points is so tiring just to get that xp XD. so tedious. and the interface for that so annoying as well.
Blizzard is STEALING gold from us... pay pay pay is all they think about
achievements dont do shit
This doesn't fix the problem Blizzard...
The community is waiting for:
-return of 10 gold per 3 wins
-less dust to craft legendaries
-less XP needed for leveling
-more gold for leveling
-golden epic for rank 5 diamond
-a tournament mode (all cards available in this mode)
-cheaper tavern/battle passes
-more ways of building a collection for new/returning players (the free deck was a good start)
And lastly, more adjustments to local-based market (add more currencies and adjusting to a countrie's market - in my country i have to pay double or sometimes tripple the price for a pack because the currency is in Euro)
I actually hate that they give packs on any level i want gold to use it as i want, i wish they would replaced the other packs too or at least make them packs from new expansion not previous doesnt make sense.
Now the real problem, i really hope that this isnt the fix they were talking about cause its simply not enough. The amount of grind you will need to level up after a point will be disgusting, you'll need to spend so much time grinding while getting nothing in return you'll simply gonna feel like you're just wasting your time for nothing. Also imagine being an arena player and waiting a whole week just to play a run that you might end up 2-3 and with not enough gold to play again causing you to wait another whole week, lol noone is gonna wait that long cause its simply bullshit.
Anyway i doubt that they will even try to make it fair and as much "rewarding" as they promised, Blizz was always full of shit and lies. They just put the last nail in their coffin by hurting f2p so much.
