So.. Who else has falen to this vice?
Hearthstone
-
-
my butt has, so addicted to Goblins v Gnomes. I also bought the wrong packs one time, and opened Classic ones….bruhh
-
I voluntarely got Clasic with real money.. before I checked that the expansion was better. I now know better.
-
Jonny, NO! you're one of those guys X D
here's fun video of a streamer girl overreacting to opening wrong kind of packs.
Yesterday had 12-2 arena run with sweet priest deck. Recieved 280 gold and some golden rares. What the hell?
-
That vid was wonderful LMAOOOOOO, I actually bought the right packs day one with all my horded gold, then i was on the hype train so hard I tunnel visioned and bought more "packs" with REAL money. its ok I got Malorne and Toshley that's all I wanted, MILLfurion Stormrage all the way.
https://www.youtube.com/user/Trolden1337 also one of the best hearthstone channels ever, so much fail and surprising moments its great!!!!! -
Will check it out, I mostly watch Amaz )
-
I'm in a funk for gaming - just can't re-ignite that spark.
But I do play Hearthstone now and then but enjoy watching it moreso than playing it - although I am tempted to buy a few decks because I do enjoy opening decks.
-
So, is it totally playable without the need to buy packs? I only tried it for 2-3 games when it came out, but through all the hype it has right now am tempted to play more.

It takes time to get into a groove, and get some good cards, but it's fun.
The free cards are strong, but there's always ways to improve your decks.
I'm a completionist so I don't recycle any card that I get, unless the game prompts me to do it, but if you want to focus in only one class, you can dust anything that you feel like won't use (or at least the commons only) so you can craft a nicer deck.
The path to gold is always check every day for the quest, if you like it, keep it, if you don't try to reshufle it, you can stock 3 quest, and let's say that you get monday "win 3 with priest" and tuesday "win 5 with priest" you can farm it in one go.
Don't be intimidated with Ranked, it's usualy better balanced and matched up than casual mode.
Try to beat every level of cpu at least 10 times for the class cards and stuff, and to get a feel of the classes.
Try to focus into getting to the arena instead of just buying packs, worst case scenario you get your pack and some gold or dust back, but If you get a good groove the rewards pile up.

Thanks, will do that. :) -
ack I just pulled Iron Juggernaut!!! Time to combo with Pandas for ultimate carnage!!!!
-
Cool, I've only managed to abuse unstable portal to get him..
Won against a hunter who was about to unleash the dogs on me.
But my favorite victory has to be this time that I was against a hunter, I was at one, was a paladin with ashbringer, and he had an exploding trap active, I had the healing sword and drew consecration, with consec I cleared a small taunt, and got him to 4, changed to the healing sword, attacked him, triggered the trap, got to -1, healed with the sword. And hit him for the win.
-
wait you didn't die from the trap lmao, I'll remember that mechanic takes priority. Mine was druid milling this shaman, played a mana tide totem and I kept it alive. I was able to get rid of his/her Fire elementals, some lighnting spells, Neptulon AND Al'Akir, basically no cards for the end game, and died to fatigue XDXD
-
Oh, mana tide totem gone bad.
In my old priest deck I exagerated the nortshire cleric drawing power, with two clerics, a board full of injured minions and holy nova (before I understood the value of circle of healing)
I got to fatigue but managed to win.
-
I got interested in this game once again because of the GvG expansion. Haven't spent a single cent on this, though, it's just too expensive in my currency, so I'm slowly getting the cards through gold.
Managed to create two decents mech-ish decks with Warrior and Mage, I just end losing against Rogues, that use infinite combos, and Druids, that actually know what they are doing.
-
I… sank a lot of money recently in it, I kind of regret it.
I got ahead with a cheap control priest a while ago, using the oponent legendaries against themselves, it usualy backfires beyond lvl17.
-
Rogues are pretty hard for me too, I need to start with a weapon in turn 1-2. I got a good free Warrior deck I only take to rank with pumping the living crap of the Enraged Worgen. It's gotten me to rank 11, I kinda wanan hit Legend once so I've pooled enough Lock cards to make a handlock deck, but I would feel so dirty doing so :<
-
I'm just missing the molten giants for a handlock, I think. Well, that and most legendaries that it has.
Best choice ever was to craft the defenders of argus though, very handy.
-
I've noticed that the Unstable Portal mage spell tends to make you get almost the same minions; for example, all the times I used it I got 3 Bolvars, 2 Gruuls and no other legendary minion.
-
if I haven't been pwned by board clears, defender of argus saved my life more than once. Ooo Unstable Portal?! I got Illidan, (a wisp….), and Cairne from that. A 4-cost 4-5 with value deathrattle :B. I gotta play Mage more, snowchuggers are one of my favorite cards.
-
I have an agro Mage deck, with both portal and chuga chuga, it's plenty of fun, but if I don't win by turn 7-9 I lose, hard.
Portal tend to gravitate to legendaries, or parrot and wisp. The random is not completely random, but maybe is that I forget when I get.. like yeti or harvest golem.
-
7-9? i played games where we fatigued, well it helps that I pulled Antiniodas, I had gnomes to synergize w my mechs, but I removed them for more spells. :ninja:

Yeah, I got two parrots already, and also two starving buzzards. Seems like it has the same thing as those websnippers (I wonder if I wrote right), since most of time I encounter a Hunter with them, the bastard gets a King Krush.

That's why i carry Owls now, cuz WebSKILLers are MVPs :P
-
I just beat them and get ready for the worst.
Played an arena today with gold, almost worth it, I had the bad luck of choosing Jaina and not getting any chance of picking Fireballs… Not even a single Flamestrike, though I had the magical 4 arcane missiles and madder bomber; it was hilarious to mess up the opponents whenever they played any low-health minion. With a 3-3, won a pack, 35 gold and 25 dust.
-
I'm terrible at arena, I managed to get to 3 just because someone disconected at mulligan.
-
Today's arena round went better, managed to get enough dust for Dr Boom, with 4 wins.
I checked the golden basic reward list, I'm a long way from level 60 or golden portraits yet, my highest class is Priest with lvl34, and my lowest are shaman/rogue with 22. I'd like to get them all (266) this year, but still need some epics for it to happen for my weakest clasess.
-
But on the other hand, character level doesn't do anything. they could have at least given a cardback for those who reached lvl cap..
Beat a couple of cancer hunter decks with my wallet warrior deck today. It feels really good when you smash them with all of your value cards. doesnt happen that often though. (stupid grave keepers!)
-
Everyone has to have some early removal for the underkeeper, Firey war axe, smite/pain, frostbolt, earthshock/lightingbolt, backstab, etc.
-
My warrior is my fave class, lvl 55 Fiery War Axe an Death's Bite are amazing, I run a tweaked vanillla aggro deck. the Only GvG cards in there are Warbot and Iron Juggy.I don't do ranked but i feel pretty confident with this deck I really should try :V
-
I do ranked sometimes, but it can be frustrating when you fight people that have 3-4 legendaries and they are always Ragnaros, Bloodhoof and Ysera (when it's four, a random class legendary). What bothers me, is that the decks aren't even mediocre, some are crappy and they are just luck to survive and throw those things at me. I should consider putting polymorph in my mage deck, atleast…
-
I would at least one Polymorph and flamestrike, with a aggro-centric meta game thanks to GvG, removal is still king. Or hey you can pisss em off by freezing their legendaries all the time (ie cone of cold, frost lance) and hit for face.
-
Legendaries usualy just need to be handled with care, keep as a last resource in your hand: silences, polymorphs, sheeps, BGH, lightbomb (my new favorite :D)
If you have to blow these in the early game, then you either have to win fast or be prepared to lose.
Also, don't get intimidated by ranked, early ranks are fine, you don't start to get wrecked until rank17-15, and you don't lose stars until bellow rank 20, so you'll get the card backs with enough effort, even if you are a novice or have seriously bad luck.
-
I handle them pretty well, if I play it right in mid-game. Using Duplicate, I always make sure to make my opponent kill a chugga/water Elemental for future freezing annoyance, or a bomb lobber; playing 2 bomb lobbers after any 8-health minion play is plain amazing, sometimes they even quit after it. But yeah, I need atleast one polymorph, that's for sure, especially against druids, because they will always have that freaking spare parts generator cat.
And I don't get intimidated by ranked, during Naxxramas I got around rank 12, it's just that it's been a while and everyone seems to have spend a fair amount of money/time to get those legendaries (Ragnaros, Ysera, Bloodhoof and others) since then. Talking about Naxxramas, I should just get 700 gold and buy the last part of it for Kel'Thuzad, I have done the rest anyway.
-
I love using the nerubian eggs as "are you sure that you want to board clear me"?
And today's shaman deck is pretty fun, with abusing the reincarnate + deathrattle of resumoning, egg and spider, goblin shredder thing + random 2drop.
I usualy used injured blademaster, but.. got more milleage of the deck like it's right now. I could change Lohateb to the baron, but I'm scared about the impredictability factor of the shredder, twice the opportuinities to get Doomsayer in a "fill the board" deck? no thanks.
-
Was having a good time with my whatever-it-is-paladin deck, until this match.
Also, I'm still wondering if it's really a good idea to complete Naxxramas or continue spending gold on packs, after all, it's money for 7 packs…
-
Hey, there is actually a Hearthstone thread!
Playing the game as well from time to time. Which legendaries did you guys get so far, if any? I'm sitting on Malygos and Deathwing at the moment, seems the dragons love me! Not exactly the most viable cards, but damn if it isn't fun playing them (especially Malygos).

In my opinion the last wing isn't worth it. Kelthuzad is a great card, but only very few decks include him due to better competition. The ooze is nice in certain Warlock Zoo decks, that's it. Avenge is one awesome secret though and used in many legendary Paladin decks, but it seems you only fool around on the Paladin?
-
My legendaries:
I'm about 10-15 legendaries in, most noticeable Dr. Boom that I crafted, and Nozdormu that I got first and don't want to disenchant. The last one was Bolvar.I dusted a golden The Beast and Millhouse for better cards.

I actually have two accounts, one in NA and one in EU(?) servers, but I've done more stuff on EU and also didn't screwed up with the early gold bonuses. On both, I have Millhouse Manastorm… But in NA I also got Edwin VanCleef, so I played a lot as Rogue there.
And yeah, I just take Paladin seriously on Arena, because it seems to be the class that gets the best of the random picks. So, if it isn't really that worthy, I'll just continue buying packs.

Damn, you are lucky! May I ask how many packs you bought to get so many legendaries? I play casually since August 2014 and 2 legendaries are all I got from the packs through Arena and dailies.

Ha, my NA account also got a VanCleef (and Ragnaros) but I don't like playing there because the connection is a little slower from Europe. Wish I had them both on my EU acc, but oh well.
-
I've bought some packs, around 50 or 70, I just know that I shouldn't get more.. Nozdormu and bolvar i did get them the old fashioned way.
-
One thing that really annoys me is how some players make a legendary-centric deck and forget about everything else. Just defeated a warrior that had 5 legendaries (Ragnaros, Hogger, Illidian, Sneed's Old Shredder - which spawned a Hemet Nesingway -, Loatheb and I'm sure he still had Grom somewhere) and his deck was all about taunts and legendaries, a crap deck. But it's still satisfying to beat a deck like that, especially with my whatever-it-is-paladin.
Also I watched the lastest TotalBiscuit's Hearthstone video, and it seems there are bots on the game! Why?!
-
Because it's easy to grind that way? Meh, they are easily beatable, blizzard is cracking down on those accounts, and can only play like shaman.
Allright, my legendaries are: 11 from the sets, all of nax and the promo of gelbin.
Nozdormu, Cairne, Voljin, Bolvar, Tirion, Edwin, Jaraxus, Illidan
Golden: Gazlowe
Crafted: Iron Juggernaut, Dr. BoomI only realy use Boom, the paladins, Voljin and Cairne. I lack too much cards for using Jaraxus or Edwin. And Iron Juggernaut proved to be too gimicky and killable.
I might go for a Gazlowe deck in the near future.
-
Naxxramas was a turn off for me. I don't spend any money on online games, by principle. So after grinding so much to access all the chapters, i just felt kind of burned out. Now with the GvG I think I'll start playing again.
-
GvG made me play Mage, I can't believe a single class card would be so fun and annoying to play. Chugga Chugga

Gotta love playing priest. Nothing more satisfying than stealing half your opponents deck. :)
-
OMG, I must make the chugga chugga forever deck!
That thing is weak to board clear though.
-
Tried Arena today, chose Paladin. It was the most horrible pick ever, no good cards shown up; I was happy with 2 azure drakes and 2 wisdom blessing(?), but with absolute no way to maintain early board control I was doomed. Tried it anyway, lost the first match easily, then I was winning the second match when my internet failed. I just gave up on the run, and got 30 dust + pack, which gave me a golden rare.
It's kinda annoying how you simple lose by a internet failure and it counts on the arena, but I guess it's a way to prevent people from abusing such a thing if it didn't count. -
Take this with a grain of salt, but an apparent leak from an Activision Blizzard employee has detailed that a new Hearthstone expansion is set to launch in April…
