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.
Here is some info for you
Nice picture, dude. But it completely IGNORE the fact that they CUT 10 gold for 3 wins. Can't u get it? So before u play games and u can earn extra gold by winning. Amount depends of time spent in game/your skill/type of deck u play. But anyway it was up to 100 gold per day. Now they completely cut this part, see? 100 gold * 90 = 9000. Add it to your picture and stop confusing people.
I personally almost never got 100 gold at least on regular basis, thats too much time needed. But i like the game and i got 40-50 gold per day. So daily quest 50-60 plus 40-50 for wins, so it was 1 PACK per day. Every day if you want. Now it is impossible, even if i play a lot more. I dont need numbers to compare systems, cause it is so obvious that new system is bullshit.
And btw im not completely F2P player. I spent a lot of money when i started to play. And even later when i got my collection and got 1 pack per day i bought small bundles time to time cause HS was barely playable as F2P game. Now they implemented system that force me to buy expensive bundles every 3 monthes or my game experience will be significantly reduced. Isnt it greed? That is the question for you.
"Nice picture, dude"
Thank you very much.
"But it completely IGNORE the fact that they CUT 10 gold for 3 wins. "
Indeed. That change has nothing to do with the rewards track. You people need to differ those two things. That is my point.
"Now they completely cut this part, see? 100 gold * 90 = 9000. Add it to your picture and stop confusing people."
If you have a winrate of +60% with 5min games at max, you'd need to play 4h each and every day. Highly unlikely.
Btw, not my picture but HearthstoneMathematics - you should check them out, pretty good data aqquisition/preperation.
"so it was 1 PACK per day. Every day if you want."
Different point though. If you get 1 pack each day or 2 packs every two days there is no difference apart from the "fix" to open a pack of (likely) 50 dust.
" I dont need numbers to compare systems"
I can't stress this enough: You really do need numbers to compare systems.
I am pretty much the same type of player that you are tbh. BUT I think you missunderstood my picture: I am not saying Hearthstone is'nt expensive as hell, and the "new mini exp" won't help. It is also sad that you only get roughly a third of a set when spending about 100 bucks - every three months.
I am saying however that the new system is pretty fun, gives a sense of progression and some neat extras, like e.g. a portrait, while not reducing your gold income formerly gotten by quests - THAT is the purpose of said system: quest for gold -> reward track.
Now, that they wiped the 3w=10g is bad, but a completely different issue. That the exp in the track is utterly badly balanced and the rewards don't really compensate for the win=gold loss, is easily adjustable though.
That they try to milk their playerbase is pretty common in every f2p game.
They need to change much to make it even remotely playable, but that is, again, not the new rewards tracks fault. Dust exchange rates, legendary/epic drop rates, transparancy, etc. those are the real problems.
Who need stupid and annoying achievements, we need gold! Maybe they gave us triple much amount of achievements instead of gold as new boosted reward for playing.
Forgive them oh God of Nerdiness, for they do not know what they say.
Hi guys, i am returning player. I have played the game from Beta to Cobolds and Catacombs. After that I didn't have enough time to play and was kinda concerned if all the money I have spend on the game was worth it.
Now I am back after few years. There is so much new stuff. The game part of this game feels better. I have so much fun with HS again. Bit this reward track thing is really a bummer. And it isn't only this. The game is stupidly expensive when compared to the past.
3 full expansions a year with "adventures" in a middle? 80€ pre-orders? With addition of smaller 40€ pre-order? 20€ tavern pass? I am actually surprised that you can still buy arena with gold... Oouuh I get it now. You will not get enough gold to pay for arena if you are not already good enough. Prices are stupid. HS was always expensive game, but right now? It's joke.
I feel like I have returned at the worst possible time. I was ready to spend something like 40€ for each expac. That would be 120€ a year and I would be able to play multiple classes just like before I left.
It's simply not possible right now. I will play just one deck on ladder until I get bored and quit again. Arena won't save me. I wanted to give blizzard some more money for this great game that I loved before and also love now. But blizzard is so greedy, that I won't do that. I will spend the money on some other game where I won't feel like talking wallet.
Ps: Blizz pls do smtgn. Prices OP.
Yeah, prices are at an all time low. But you have lots of content to dig into. I suggest trying out battlegrounds it's a fun game mode that you don't have to spend a penny on to enjoy.
Yea battlegrounds and duels are fun. But I love this game mainly for creating gimmic decks on ladder.
But is it stated somewhere that battlegrounds and duels will not require "tavern ticket" to play when they will get out of beta? Because for me that seems obvious. Or will battlegrounds have only perks to by payed for and duels will be completely F2P?
Exactly yes, I agree, blizzard fucked up the system, they can restore 10 gold for 3 wins or even increase 10gold for example 20 gold for 3 wins, I miss this old system, I play from beta and play instead of developing it slowly dies
Same thing happened to me grinded 2 days through quests and achievements and today got my 100 g for reaching 24 level and when i opened my pack i got the usual 40 dust. FINALLY I CAN CRAFT THAT COMMON I WANTED FOR SO LONG.
F*ck those dumb c*nts in blizzard
All packs should be changed to gold.
Totally agree we already need so much grind for levels, the fact that Blizzard decides where my grind will be spent pisses me off.
100% agree
Maybe they could also add the Year of the Dragon Pack to the shop (perhaps for 150 gold). That would be cool as well.
But I wasn't playing against friend, but just a normal games - not ranked tho...😑
This is not even close to enough .....making such a minor revamp to the system is just another slap in the face of the customer .Thas ridiculous
Aside from this crapfix that still doesn't brink us to the amount of gold we gained before, what about the legendary chain quest?
It gave us packs from the previous set instead of the new one. Is this how it is going to be from now on?
Seriously blizzard?
Math time. Let's say im a tryhard player who tries to win 30 games daily to get the 100 gold limit. Plus min 50 gold from the daily quests which maens ppl could get 150 gold max daily. lets call it 80 for average casual players. between 2 expansions there was 3 months where all players could get some money to open the next expansion's packs. The total amount according to that math 7200 gold for daily casual players and 13500 gold for crazy no life players.(I am totally fine with that btw, not tryin to be salty here! during this pandemia i have no better job to do.) My point is with this new reward system the total amount of gold we can get until the next expansion is set to 5500 gold. You may think that from level 50 there is 150 gold for each level up but the thing is in level 28 i get 200 +/-200 exp per each win. and the amount of experience i need to level up is 3750. Briefly, you need to play a lot more to get those extra 150 bucks. Its nice to have some changes in 7 y.o card game but their way of doin it is kinda suck and if there is anyone who can support what they do ill basically call it "idiot."
I recommend watching this:

Really, the way they threaten their players showed in that video.
i saw that, its sarcastic, hliarious, horrible. but the saddest part is: It's also true.
