I’ve gotten the same weekly quests every single week and I’m starting to get sick of playing Battlegrounds that often. I know, I could play the other modes to complete the quest as well, but battlegrounds has a better chance of completing the quest in the shortest time possible. I just think they need more variety on the Weekly quests is all. It is, as they say, the life of spices.

Wow, the same weekly quest every week! It’s almost as if it’s guaranteed to come every single week! Oh wait… Sarcasm aside, you know you can just re-roll the quest right?
I’m finding that I reroll one battleground weekly into the other one win 5 battlegrounds/duels/tavern brawls and then I reroll it back into the same 1500 damage in battlegrounds quest and it happens all too often, I think the weighting on the quest is higher than the other quests.
Makes me think they’re testing something on the live servers for Battlegrounds, but I’m not sure what it could be.
No, it’s just that the pool isn’t that big and/or that slot has a preference to the other modes. The only time I don’t get it is when I get the complete 3 stormwind quests. The 5 wins in ranked is automatic every week and the third slot often seems to be one of the high numerical type like play X or deal X damage.

diablo raid mechanic on battleground in the near future based on the recently released article.
there is also dual class diablo on duel for temporary time.
What sickens me is that you re roll the Quest, (which should indicate that you are not interested in Battlegrounds.) only to receive yet another Battlegrounds quest.
The Quest system should not be trying to force BG’s on players.
The quest system is 100% optional. Nobody is forcing you. By your logic I’d assume you afk battlegrounds while you’re not actively playing since “amg it’s exp it’s not optional”.
Afking bg for like 1g/match is not really worth the electricity imo and the effort to queue up 100 games just for one pack.
If you ever have to go for the 1500 minion damage quest, you can try going for highroll elementals. (Tier 4 has the lightspawn elemental for +1/1 avenge, which can scale to 20/20 → 30/30 elementals and tier 5 Nomu for +1/1 to elementals a sell. Slow on most heros, can get to like +40/40 on 2 mana buy heros like millhouse/gallywix though)
Top heavy comps like +20/20 → 40/40 elemental teams can complete the 1500 dmg quest a bit faster, as well as highroll felbat demons (Tier 6 demons) for 20/20 to 60/60 to 200/200+.
You can also try Doubling up on like That one quilboar that gives everything +1/1 a turn, as well as the beast that doubles blood gems buffs. It’s also like tier 6/5 for the comp, and one of the slower scalers, but scaling +1/1 to +4/4 a turn with any comp can be very powerful. And still let you get to like +10/10 to 30/30 mininos.
Ultimate damage highrolls is like +20/20 elementals with felbat eats, you can highroll to like 200 attack minions. However a fair note is that, highrolling works better at lower mmr than higher mmr i think.
At low mmr you can usually go to highroll comps as easily as you want and smash whenever you want, at higher mmr everyone can tries to kill you in the midgame or kill you even if you get the combo before it scales enough.
However, afking bgs to get easier matches and quests can be a fair compromise. BG matches are always dones by hidden mmr, your bg rank is a purely cosmetic number that doesn’t directly tie to your mmr or matches you against anyone.
It, theoretically could be entirely possible for a 0 rank, 6000 rank, and 9000 rank player could all be playing in the same lobby if the game thought everyone had the same mmr. And it gets reset anyways, so you can throw it away if you want, or work to have it rise.
I found i hated bgs when i was caring about a number that didn’t mean anything, and tanked a bit to literally 0 rating refusing to play the mode lmao. But now i use it as a afk mode and at least rebounded it from 0 rating to 6000 while still afking a fair bit at floors when i want.
Not really anything good, but it’s a 6k rating with like 30% of my matches being me afking lmao. So the rating climbs the more you play with floors and really means nothing, so once i started ignoring it i found myself completing quests easier.
It may be optional, but it is essential for F2P and there is no way team 5 does not know that.
There should be a way to indicate that you are not interested in the content so that you don’t receive those Quests anymore is all I’m saying. Since when has giving players more agency ever been a bad thing?
I simply don’t enjoy the mode and even for 15g/match if you have a quest for it for me personally it is a low payoff ratio of time for in game currency albeit I used to just suck it up and afk it. This is a game where roughly 2000g = one useful card past owning all of the rares, so that is a lot a lot of games.
I have no problem winning the mode, it just makes me think back to when I was working with invoices, I’d be scanning for product names all day, this mode has virtually the same feel to it as that work did, scan left to right for the right minion. In a game like that winning doesn’t feel good.
Once again, if you’re claiming it’s not optional for f2p I’d imagine you’re also afk’ing for gold while you’re not playing if it’s sooooooo essential, but you aren’t are you? Hence yes, it is optional.
It’s optional in that if by doing everything they expect you to do will net 10,000 gold then by doing 20% less, losing 2000 gold is not too detrimental. However in the old system quests were not as hard to complete, they just had more weighting in the daily quests and I still never struggle to finish all of the daily quests, they are really actually much easier than the weekly quests. Then you also lost the ability to grind aggro games for gold, it would take me a couple of hours to get 30 wins for the 100g, so it was basically if I wanted to go a bit harder I could achieve 12,000-16,000 gold per season and they saw that and they probably thought that was too much for free so they were looking to cap that even though by a lot of peoples standards they were not willing to grind aggro back then.
yeah, if you afk it enough while you leave to work, just let it run and tank the mmr to the point you get to lobbys you can win #1 just by placing 2 minions at the start of the game and afking the rest, you can get the wins easy or do tavern brawls /arena / duels for the 5 wins.
For the 1500 dmg you can reroll that one or the bgs anytimes, or just go for highroll demons or afk. I guess it might be work, but you could always just run it when you go eat a sandwich or aren’t playing it anyways, but to each their own, i feel ya.
But I did this for a few weeks when it came out, I calculated how much that actually meant for me, it’s roughly 20 games in a day or ~20g, you could do more if you really devoted your life to this, so 20g x 5 days = 1 pack, 5 packs = 1 epic, 4 epics = 1 good epic, 100 days of battlegrounds afking at the rate I was = 1 good epic. Of course as I mentioned if the quest is up it’s like like 3-5g/game you need to win 5, but I’d rather try and reroll it for a quest I can complete through playing. They probably like that people think afking battlegrounds is worth it, because I think ultimately people are likely to give up on that strategy, it doesn’t really profit how you think and those people are probably more likely than others to buy packs because obviously the gold means the most to those people even if it is a completely insignificant amount.
Basically you are collecting cards that will ultimately be power crept on and all to achieve some arbitrary rank that only really matters if you are a streamer or a pro, for me it just makes sense to grind the 80% of quests that are manageable and diamond 5 each month because that is roughly 40% of your total in game currency and if you don’t do those two things every 15 minutes you put into the game is worth about 1 minute of someone elses time and arguably to play and enjoy this game you want to get as much variety without completely jipping yourself in the process, but the variety is basically being rented for time put in.
What are you on about? I don’t AFK or even rope.
I also do not play battlegrounds. at all.
You are accusing me in order to have some reasoning to
take issue with my disapproval of the quest system.
Don’t reply to me anymore.
If you have to imagine things in order to make your argument, then you are no one I wish to interact with.

to be fair, they are replacing 150 gold / day with the said quest system.
by your logic gold coin in hearthstone is optional despite you need gold to do bunch of stuff.

I didn’t hear about that. They’re changing the gold/day system?
hello fellow time traveler,
this is 2021,
you no longer get 10 gold for every 3 win in the game of hearthstone.
