I've been enjoying a lot of Rarran's videos but this recent one (where he and two other streamers took on an high-level player) was one of his best.

It was a lot of fun and also really cool to see someone talk through their decision making.

Is it me or has the game been terrible at disconnections since the last patch? I get diconnected constantly and most times I can't log back in.

In the preopening of a smaller bundle, I got

DK: Alexandros Mograine
DK: Blightfang
Paladin: Liadrin
Warrior: Thori'belor (golden)

I can't judge on my own single sample, but a skeptical part of me is wondering if they're biasing drops toward DK legendaries. Interested to hear what others get.

After 9 years of play, not crafting meta decks, and "only" spending $200 on the game - I have about 165,000 dust between the bank and extra cards.

Also reminder to start an Arena run as that will also reset for free rewards when the expansion hits!

Any decks you guys are looking forward to playing? To me Arcane Hunter looks like the first fun Hunter deck in ages and midrange Paladin and Enrage Warrior look good too!

I'll definitely be playing something with Anachronos. Concoction Rogue looks fun and I'll have to try blood DK since I got Mograine.

When it resets you get rewards depending on your current wins plus a free ticket for another run.
So IMO it is best to try to get as many wins until you have 2 losses but if you really hate arena just start one and leave it.

The Republic of Luna Equestria is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 714m are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich.

Yes, the idea is the rewards track is front loaded so get a boost of all the saved quests through the first levels.

If you pay for the tavern pass (actually some nice cosmetics this time I think) it also gets you to the xp boosts quicker which should be a goal to convert the cash you paid into gold if you want to minmax what you squeeze out the game.

Same thing as starting an arena and heroic duel, free pack from both and like 10 dust or whatever even if you just pay and leave it cause you get the ticket refunded in the form of a free ticket and the rewards.

Even if you hate the modes you can use that ticket on the next expac for another pack and swap any additional free tickets you get you can just use and quit for another pack. Though most people don't hate stuff like arena so much they won't even play a free go.

Should have saved that one for the new tavern pass to get a nice headstart for you and someone on your friend list. Even better if you have a buddy who has saved one as well.

Speaking of, I got a challenger daily stored and I am looking for an EU buddy who also has one saved up. If I'm already on anyones friends list (same name as here) and you have one as well, hit me up on tuesday evening after the expansion launched.

Do you think I posted to this forum because I value your companionship?

I think I only rolled the 'Friendly Challenge' quest once in all of Nathria so I'm a little bit bummed. It would have been nice to save one up for the new launch. Does the '7-wins' quest still exist? I remember back in the day that was the most valuable daily but I assume the change to XP got rid of it.

No, I'm seeing a lot of people saying they think it looks dumb which is a stronger word than a little weird but is probably similar. There's definitely something a little off about both that and the signature cards in my opinion, in different ways.

imho they both look like hot garbage, for different reasons. The animated portraits look like something from runeterra or one of the other CCG competitors, and the signature cards are completely indistinguishable on smaller screens. I play on my phone and I literally couldn't tell a single one apart from watching the prerelase streams

I wonder if Astalor + Voidtouched Attendant will be decent in anything. It's probably a dead card too often in an aggressive shadow priest deck, but maybe in a more midrange-y one

Looking forward to the priest and mage cards. Concoctions will probably be fun for a while too. I'm not really feeling the DK hype, but that might just be me not wanting to spend the 2k gold

The concoction package looks kind of broken to me. Can't wait to play it!

I'm hoping that we get some viable, lean, aggro decks too. Looks like there's a good amount of late game stuff and I want to kick people in the face while they are trying to set up their 5 card combos.

Ironically, I think it will be when I decide to quit. I'm telling myself this will be my last expansion, but I haven't pledged to stick to that. I'm very iffy on the addition of another class and I hate prince renathal on principle. They had hooked me with the tavern passes but I stopped buying them with castle nathria. I've got cosmetics coming out of my ears at this point. Then, I really wanted to like mercenaries but it just isn't good enough. I find myself playing less and less; might just hang it up soon.
