mcbexx posted:Maybe worth mentioning, watching Hearthstone streams for 2/4 hours will also give you 1/2 UiS packs, you will need to claim the first reward to start the clock on the second one). It's watch 2 hours for 1 pack, then watch 4 hours for the second pack. So you've got to watch 6 hours, and hope it all counts with streams dropping out etc. Basically impossible to get both packs with no prior communication on it.

Also: I feel like I'm only interested in the Mage and Shaman stuff. Fire spell mage could be fun. Shaman overload too. I'll see what I pull and try and figure out what to do, but otherwise I'm not too fussed about the archetypes being pushed, especially knowing I won't have the epics or legendaries required for them to really work.

Ah yes, UiS quests are now in the pool. If only I had tradeable cards to play right now. To reroll a 1K or to hold it a week. I'll probably hold, but w/e.

Just noticed that Elwynn Boar is the free golden Epic on the reward track. Kinda good and bad since if I don't open it on release it feels like I'm going to wait to unlock the free versions.

Good on you, HL. Kosak being specifically named is disappointing. Was hoping the Hearthstone team would stay mainly out of it.

This is in fact mentioned in the article, but I feel like I should point out that Cosby was kind of a meme at the time (2013), and the sexual assault stuff was only just beginning to come out (he was convicted in 2018). I'm not saying they definitely weren't intending it that way -- there's plenty of other gross behavior there which is bad no matter what. I'm only saying the Cosby thing might not have been a rape reference, just given the timing. (Sorry, comedic Cosby references are a bit of a sore spot for me...)

Or spell mage having tons of clears and a 10 damage Arcane Missiles card and ALL THE DRAW IN THE loving UNIVERSE. I know there are simply some match-ups you can't win, but it feels like they've hosed the game to the point where there are several Tier 1 decks that have that horseshit "EXODIA" thing going on and it's just un-fun. You're punished for keeping a board. You're punished for not keeping a board. You're punished for not keeping a big *enough* board. Everything's set up so some shitheel can scream whenever he pulls ~the perfect card~ on his Twitch stream. Everything in this game is seemingly being geared towards OTK mechanics because Blizzard knows that's the fuckhead dream. The "BOOM, HEADSHOT" of the CCG world.

I feel like a lot of these issues would be fixed if there was more hand or deck interaction. Only being able to impact the board for the most part is obnoxious. Pretty much only demon hunter has the tools to interact with the hand in standard and they never do because their other cards are just so much better.

Double post, but I wanted to separate this. Oh, it's so much worse. Also, "Jesse McCree"? Really? They named an OW character after this sex pest? Guess I'll never High Noon again.

Another alternative to HS is a game called Summoner Wars. It's a card game that now has an online implementation, complete with tournaments. There's a single player demo mode if you'd like to try it out, and you get all the cards for $3 a month. https://summonerwars.plaidhatgames.com/

On the single player front, Chrono Ark has been pretty cool, though it IS early access and I have some complaints about it that as per usual for EA games, may or may not get addressed. It's a deck builder roguelike, but with a party of characters. The combat's got a lot going on, which could be a plus or minus. Flayer posted:A+++ Facebook post, would post again.

Also on a different note, Dominion has a good online version. It's one of the classic deck building card games and the online version is browser based and reasonably priced. https://www.dominion.games/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_(card_game)

There's a thread for Runeterra somewhere around here, noting that Riot has had issues with sexual harassment as well. https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2019-12-02/riot-games-gender-discrimination-settlement

Okay, no ethical consumption under capitalism and poo poo but please please please stop suggesting legends of runeterra, the game made by the other California games company getting sued for sex pestery, as a better choice.

I just hit legend in wild for the first time in forever Climbed to rank 1 diamond with reno tickatus warlock, then hit a wall of secret mages and bounced back to rank 2 twice, and I ultimately broke through by checking the top deck on hsreplay which was some kind of galakrond shudderwock deck and used that to beat the final boss, which was a razakus priest. Ultimately this achievement speaks more of my boredom and procrastination, I'm very much ready for the expansion to drop
