Unrelated, I got a survey email about the game and I love that it starts with "PLEASE PROMISE YOU WON'T TALK ABOUT THIS WITH THE OTHER KIDS IN CLASS! YOU PROMISE TO NOT TELL? Ok, so Twist Mode, you think she's hot, right? And those rewards, mirite?"

Excelzior posted:cards all look okay but I hate when they do this "here's a package stick all of it in and there's your deck" thing I get this, but before they tried this their philosophy was “here’s some random cards that may or may not be enough for a deck and that we may or may not support in the future. Hope they’re good enough” which is hardly better. At least this way the new mechanics have a certain amount of infrastructure built in.

So fun fact? If the card that the Victim's Spectre quest reward gives you causes a minion summoned by Bassgill to get tripled, that golden minion will stay locked and cannot be played or summoned by Bassgill until a full combat has passed. Yeah that very much killed me.

bravesword posted:The Plague theme looks cool, but the fact that gets completely hosed by Steamcleaner, a card that’s already pretty common in E.T.C. bands and is easy to discover if Mech decks have a resurgence, is kind of lame. I not entirely a fan of Plagues being an extremely strong/game winning grind tool, so honestly I'm glad the counter card exists already. Plus Steam Cleaner will rotate before hand so there might be the chance to see full power Plagues (maybe, unless they make Skulking Geist core set or something). I kind of think Plagues are nuts tbh, but it's an Unholy DH archtype for the most part so ehhh should be fine?

Just found out something fun. When Pozzik dies, the two mechs get summoned even if they aren’t in the opponent’s hand. He has Finley’d them to the bottom of the deck but when Pozzik died, they got summoned. Judging from his emotes he was as surprised as I was!

I have the "play 5 golden minions in battlegrounds" quest for the event. In 2 games, I have played three (3) (!!!!) golden minions because the game barely offered me what i was going for even though I was seemingly the only one going for that minion type. Extremely cool, thanks game

I'm cursed in battlegrounds. Every game I can win the first round or two of combat and then the opponent at turn 3 has pulled four 69/420 dragons out of his rear end and runs away with it.

Really? I've felt like Death Knight has been a really fun addition, the rune system is cool and I like how there are so many different ways to play the class.

Death Knight is really fun to play as but rarely fun to play against. Which is pretty accurate to anyone that cared about PvP back in WoTLK I guess.

A spec like Blood DK being as popular as it is makes the game a lot less fun for me. It's funny that Blood is getting basically nothing in Titans. Didn't they say something about different expacs focusing on different runes?

Blood Death Knight has the same issue as Control Priest and Control Warrior at their worst, in that it feels like it's nothing but board wipes and removal with no active win conditions, so it feels bad to play against even if it isn't overpowered and has an overall positive effect on the meta. Blood has only been truly top-tier for a couple of weeks at most, but when you lose to it it feels like everything you could have possibly done was absolutely pointless, so it feels more oppressive than it really is. I'm not sure there's a solution to this that satisfies everybody... there's a contingent of players who hate any attempt to push archetypes for those classes that aren't classic "kill everything and win by attrition" control, and I think we'll probably see the same reaction when Blizzard inevitably tries to do other things with Blood. And you do want there to be some control decks in the meta, to keep things from being race-to-the-bottom damage races.

Once discover comes into the picture, control becomes a lot less healthy. I'm fine playing against control warrior now and in the past because I know I can go in when they use their brawls. I have no idea what bullshit priest and dk have generated at any time.

IMO if the turn timer was 15-20 seconds instead the games would be done a lot faster, and feel less painful. But do you, as a Blood DK, really need a minute to think at one mana?

Solid Alibi is a pain to get through but watching watching Haleh fail to deal with wide boards & Glugg or killing a mage using the 9-mana kill+resurrect on Haleh has been a lot of fun.
