Iām so glad theyāre doing away with the buddy meter for the revamp. It was downright silly how quickly people could get their buddy with a single high attack Chromawing. Tying it to gold economy now makes it a much more interesting mechanic.

Buddies were terribly imbalanced. Please bring back the quest system, and make it permanent. That at least brought some balance to the mode.

Basically, if you suck, like I do , youāll never get your buddy for cheap and will lose before turn 5.
Typical crappy game design by the developer.

If Iāve learned anything from watching the Star Wars prequels, itās that you can only bring balance to a thing by destroying it.
and on topic: while Buddies was my least favorite of the addons (quests was best, darkmoon faire was good), Iām glad to have something to mix it back up. Vanilla battlegrounds gets a little flat after a while. Also I do like how they redid the buddy meter.

Blizz just said blah blah blah blah. Only thing I heard was ānews about Hearthstoneās next expansionā.

Thatās nearly every post they makeā¦the Charlie Brown grown up noise.
missing: āwe removed the p2w garbage, and runestones. Sorry.ā
The existence of legendaries for any mode outside of bgs is the P2W system. Not battle pass for bgs. If you cant win without having 4 choices then you are just not a good player. Thatās coming from ME. lol
yawn . . . more gimmicks.
How is ridding the Temple of younglings in any way seen as destroying? That was pest control. also, with horribly asymmetrical team numbers of Jedi vs Sith, it would only be destroying if it was reduced to less than 2 dark and 2 lightā¦ That was what Luke did in RotJ, ruining the balance Anakin had worked so hard to reach almost near perfect balanceā¦
Who knew Anakin would be the father of a religious terrorist that destroyed the balance of the Force? Also the father of the political and militant leader of said terrorists via Lukeās twin sister. They guy just cannot catch a break.
But yes, buddies. yay!
OMG, Blizzard is adding fun instead of removing it?
Guess the boss is in vaccation.

Not sure Iām a fan of the price reduction difference between winning or losing. I feel like this is just going to cause a snowball effect where the ones who are winning will gain even more power and it will be difficult for the others to keep up.
It could work since sometimes a team that wins a lot in the beginning wonāt perform very well in the endgame, but it still worries me. Part of whatās fun with Battlegrounds itās never over till itās over. Giving bonuses for winning could make that go away.
Same here
This way one of the biggest aspects of the mode, economy, is a much bigger part of your Buddy and its success. Also, as you said, someone who highrolls canāt control the lobby simply because they got the best minion to grind the meter. That isnāt to say a highroll SHOULDNāT do well, but it wonāt be as big as it was when Buddies were first in the game.
P.S. Lady Vashjās Buddy, Coilfang Elite, is going to be busted. Calling the first 24 hour forums complaints now (Also, looking forward to playing it :D)
Why is Watfin not a Murloc?
Only a pro company poster would joke about killing children.
And naturally, the mods will ignore it, because reasons.
Great, more fuel for high-rolling crap play.
Blizz Pleaseā¦
Buddies were terrible and took the place, one of seven, could be used for a ārealā minion or golden that doesnāt suck.
Not even a single week ago, all the loving feelings for battleground were lost in a moment.
It just sucked. Ty for bringing that dump garbage back HAHA
Instead of this sht, the system where you could choose a quest in turn 4 was fun, it really was,ā¦ but NOOOOoooo,ā¦ Bliz ripped out that feature just to replace it with some sht that already was sucking in the past, like the coming new one will to.
