Completing the weeklies passively through casual play is A-OK with me - I want to play the decks I enjoy, not stuff all the miniaturize cards into a deck so I can play 60(!) as efficiently as possible. I guess we'll see where they land, but the quest requirements as they currently exist seem less about encouraging people to play more and more about casual players getting fewer rewards from the rewards track. By far the best solution would be the tiered system.

"Without engaging the weekly system." Such garbage. How do you "engage" with that "system" anyway? I'm a free-to-play player. I like Battlegrounds, for instance, but if not for the weekly, I would not play it more than once or twice a week for variety. Looks like I won't be bothering to even try that quest anymore. Probably kinda the same with the traditional Hearthstone quest, unless I happen to come across a particularily interesting deck. Remains to be seen if I have enough gold come next expansion to keep playing. Can't fault them for trying to make people spend money on their own game but eh, I'll just stop playing instead if it comes to that choice. Kinda weird way to try to drive profits up.

A Blizzard meeting room, somewhere. Cast, Mark & Dan, our developers: Mark: "Battlegrounds - Let's put the same effect of Admiral Eliza Goreblade, a Tier 6 Pirate, into Dragons." Dan: "Mark, you continue to roll out the hits, everyone loves her. She'll go great in Dragons." Mark: "But, and get this.... in Tier 3" Dan: "gently caress me Mark, you are the loving genius of our time. Da Vinci with a copy of C#. But won't that be a bit strong?" Mark: "Well, you see, it'll only affect Dragons, so unless theyr'e running just Dragons, which is obviously daft, it'll be fine." Dan: "Sold!" (What in the actual gently caress.)

‘Engaging with the system’ means having a half dozen wild casual decks dedicated to just spamming a keyword onto the board as fast as possible rather than actually trying to play a game of hearthstone. I doubt the games people have against these decks are hugely rewarding for either player but engagement is engagement right.

think I'm going to automatically sack off the "trigger 100 battlecries" because gently caress trying to get that in battlegrounds. On the other hand, using your hero power 40 times is trivial with Malygos

You could grind X wins in this week's brawl - I won t1 with a mage deck consisting of just face damage spells. But yeah, would be tedious.

If every brawl was like this one I really wouldn't mind a 15 win quest. It's just that this is about as fast as they get and most are much, much slower.

Oh good, Staff of the Primus still freezes things. That's certainly nothing that would warrant a hotfix anytime soon. Edit: Is this another bug? Why did he get to summon a second Burrow Buster on turn 8? https://hsreplay.net/replay/jv8kiZGxxznmmu5kdt8QbT#turn=8b mcbexx fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Apr 18, 2024 |

Every weapon he equips from then on applies Freeze. Doesnt matter which you pick.

goferchan posted:I haven't played in a while and didn't feel like I played that much when I did, but weeklies were a little undertuned. Like I could play Hearthstone while I drank my coffee before work for 2, maybe 3 days in a row, and easily knock them all out. The change is a stupid overcorrection though. Could have like halved that increase and it would have been sensible. Yeah, same. I feel like you want the weeklies to be difficult enough that you can’t knock them out in a few hours of play on Monday, as I frequently found myself doing. They just overshot. If the goal is “make the quests long enough that you’ll actually need to play multiple times a week to finish them, and increase the rewards to compensate,” I’m all good with that. They just need to find some numbers that make sense.

Just went D5 to Legend with Kiblers rainbow handbuff DK deck. Honestly, fun deck to play and a pretty solid win rate.

It’s a dogshit quest that you either have to specifically make some dogshit deck to go poo poo it out in casual or will take upwards of 15 games to complete.

I'm obstinate in that the more the screws get tightened the less likely I am to ever drop a dime. As opposed to Runeterra where I've been happy to drop some cash because they're so generous with the rewards tracks, feels good to reward them for that.
