My FOMO on that DK skin outweighed my better judgement and I threw down 1K gold for the dumb brawl. Immediately went 0-2 with a control priest deck and figured I was just going to forget the new hero portrait, then managed to outgas a rogue by the skin of my HP. The next opponent conceded after the mulligan, so I figured I at least had a shot. Managed to plaguespreader something important in my next opponent's hand, because he spent all game trying to stop it from dying (freeze mage) and then conceded once I got it killed.

I will be expecting a similar announcement for duels sometime soon

I know it's for the best and the content model for adding more units to Mercenaries doesn't work when you stop adding new bosses, but there's something really melancholy about the update that finally makes the faction system visible in-game, the update that adds something that could be an interesting challenge long-term and makes it feel like an actual game, is the final real update it's going to get. It just makes me think about how incomplete the mode felt for so much of its existence.

I've played a stupid amount of Mercenaries because I was always interested in the idea of a single player Hearthstone mode and the basics of doing bounties and gathering treasures and everything always appealed to me. The PvP mode, in my opinion, ruined the chance for Mercenaries to be anything since it was 100% bad from the very first day of release up until the current date; any energy they spent doing anything with Mercs PvP should have been spent on the actually functional game mode.

That's a shame, people seem to be enjoying Dragonflight but it's probably paying for the sins of the last 2 expansions and also the idea of paying £12 a month to play a game these days is tough.

Mercenaries wasn’t great, but I liked it for what it was. A little bummed, honestly, but not overly surprised. They had talked about a new difficulty above heroic for bounties (legendary, I think) “coming after launch”. And, uh, yeah. It’s been over a year.

Huh, well maybe this will break my habit of doing my daily bounties. Can’t see a reason to interact with the boss rush mode once I’ve farmed enough renown to fully level everything. Using the mode to farm renown to buy bonuses just for the mode is distinctly unappealing when the payoff is just getting more renown from the mode. With single digit games of PVP played, a sitting here with a couple dozen mercs a single equipment upgrade off from maxed (and 2 legendaries craftable but untouched in case of free merc packs) maybe I do just finish the collection off and declare that I completed the mode without buying a single pack. Only 6 more after all…

But so much of Hearthstone is already built around encouraging those external rewards (battle passes, weekly quests in multiple different modes, the ranked ladder, etc) that playing in modes that don't fulfill those feels like a waste of time. (Of course, every time I've stopped playing Hearthstone it's because I realize I'm only playing to finish those game-adjacent goals and not because the game is fun, so I'm a bit biased.)

NorgLyle posted:That (along with 6 more Mercenaries) is going to be the final patch we're getting. Yeah, I saw the mythic mode. And maybe that's what the legendary difficulty has eventually been morphed into, but it stands out to me as a distinct new way of playing, rather than a more difficult version of bounties. It sounds more interesting than "heroic bounties but more difficult", but my point was mostly just that they had said they would be dropping a new difficulty and then just went radio silent. Overall, not particularly surprised that they're dropping it into maintenance mode. Oh well, still should be fine for knocking out "deal X type of damage" quests.

I'm having a lot of fun with shadow priest. Played other stuff to D5, now I'm bored of it and climbing with this list. The weapon is so good in this meta, and incorporeal corporal into whispers is minefield with a 1 mana 5/5. Great for clearing up early boards, but even silencing your DR minions can be the right play. I haven't pulled off a good attenfan-astalor turn yet, mostly because games are over around turn 7 at the latest. So far it's felt strong into big spell mage, UUU DK, Warlock, blood DK, frost mage, and paladin. I've had problems against thief rogue just because they can generate so much healing and taunt, but if they whiff on recon it's not hard to get under them. Mull for weapon and spells, don't keep corporal or whispers alone, and you have a good chance to draw one of your 3 drops in time. Careful playing attendant early, especially against DH. I love when priest gets to play aggro. ### shadow whisper # Class: Priest # Format: Standard # Year of the Hydra # # 2x (0) Undying Allies # 2x (1) Animate Dead # 2x (1) Shadowcloth Needle # 2x (1) Voidtouched Attendant # 1x (1) Whispers of the Deep # 1x (2) Astalor Bloodsworn # 2x (2) Incorporeal Corporal # 2x (3) Brittleskin Zombie # 2x (3) Cathedral of Atonement # 2x (3) Haunting Nightmare # 2x (3) Shadowed Spirit # 2x (4) Bonecaller # 2x (4) Grave Digging # 1x (4) High Cultist Basaleph # 2x (4) Void Shard # 1x (5) Darkbishop Benedictus # 2x (5) Shadow Word: Undeath # AAECAd3cBQS79wOjtgT5lgXipAUNoegD9PEDiPcDrfcDk/EE1PEEhoMFpJEFpZEF7pEFhpMFiZMF6pQFAA== # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone

Using this (swapped Basaleph for Mankrik as I don’t have him) to clown on fat, lazy fuckin’ Druids all playing the exact same flowchart has brought me joy today, and pushed me back to D5, so thank you. Highlight was the one who sat there emoting after gaining 24 armour on T10, then ate Voidtouched/Voidtouched/Astalor. No, gently caress you mate.

Overall, not particularly surprised that they're dropping it into maintenance mode. The biggest feedback I ever saw from the mode was "We don't have anything to use extra coins on", "The task system is too much of a pain in the rear end", and "The fights before the boss are boring, but the last boss is interesting." They did address (albeit not perfectly solve) the first two issues and a mode where you just fight bosses seems to help with the last. It's too little, too late at this point, but even if the mode launched with all of this, I can't imagine the mode would have held most people's attention for long anyway.

drat, I stopped playing for a little while (but not THAT long! probably around when the Maw mini-set came out?) and redownloaded yesterday to check out the new BG season and the game is throwing a ton of free "please come back" poo poo at me. Got a chain of 5 super easy quests that gave me 750 gold in total along with a free deck of my choice, all of which look surprisingly good. I do have most of the cards in most of them but the Hunter one looks like it'll get me a lot of value I'm missing. To be fair though I think all the offers combined probably aren't as valuable as the dust I could have gotten from logging in and disenchanting poo poo every time something was nerfed the past few months, lol.

https://hearthstone.blizzard.com/en-us/news/23913670/the-lich-king-calls-on-you-to-return-to-naxxramas some of the new mini set cards are released, including a Death Knight Colossal minion (that looks pretty weak tbh) and a location (that also looks pretty weak) https://twitter.com/ZeddyHS/status/1623743848760610816 I guess with DK already being very strong they don't need a huge game winning colossal too.. first multi rune card? **kind of a cool part of the announcement is if you have a poo poo ton of gold lying around unused you can buy the mini set golden for 10,000 gold instead of the regular 2,000.. So typically gold cards are worth 4x what a normal card is in dust, the "value" is definitely better going for the normal version, but nice for the whales to have the option I suppose Starsfan fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Feb 9, 2023 |

that colossal is pretty weak, it’s a control card that means you can’t run BBB which is the control deck and FF* decks don’t really want to spend their limited frost spells on removal rather than going face the location though…. I could see it working with aggro token UUU

Julio Cruz posted:that colossal is pretty weak, it’s a control card that means you can’t run BBB which is the control deck I like it in the sense that it encourages you to try a different set of runes when designing a control deck, but it might be a few expansions until that deck actually works. In the current meta it does expose how thin on the ground Freeze effects are in Death Knight, though. As is, a BBF control deck would only have access to Icy Touch (1 mana, 2 damage and freeze a target), Howling Blast (the swipe-equivalent) and that new Naga for other effects that can trigger Sindragosa's effect. Generating a Frostwyrm's Fury does become a board wipe if it can stay on board, though.

I mean, the ultimate disruption is just... killing them before they have time to draw, play and kill four different six-mana 6/6s. In fact, you can say that's been the dominant form of control disruption this expansion. (This is pretty spicy in Deathrattle Priest, though.)
