What?
WHAT
I’m looking at my refrigerator here, and it says nothing about not rigging hearthstone games huh. It must be involved somehow.
No one trusts Blizzard dude. Why are you six steps behind in the discussion, in addition to lying? At least choose one or another.
“The weapon is highly effective”
Yea cause the other guy is using a handgun.
“No one trusts blizz”
No ofc not, because of scammin and scummin…
Which begs the question, why do YOU care enough to post everyday.
Say no one trusts them…
BUT IT JUSSSSSST CAAAAAAANT BEEEEEE RIGGGGGGED…?
Doesnt really add up.
Does it say it there or are you believing things you imagined again?
I play hearthstone and tend to be part of forums on most games i play. I don1t post here not even close to everyday. It’s not rare at all for me to go away for a month or two when i don’t like the Meta
I’m not a gossipy little old lady who goes “i don’t like them, they must be up to something”. First they must be up to something, then I don’t like them. And no one has show they are up to anything of the sort.
Aditionally, i don’t believe every thief is a murderer or vice versa. If someone does bad thing X does not means they are doing Y too.
For you
You are being intentionally obtuse…
What does “highly effective” mean to you?
Do you think a sniper rifle is “Highly effective” against someone hiding they cant see?
Or someone with a handgun moving around?
lol.
“I just like hearthstone bro”
lol sure.
If the purpose of the mechanism was to match players against players they were weak to, it would say so. The page is describing what it does right there, and yet you’re somehow still arguing about a point that is nowhere in the patent.
It’s literally just in your imagination. There aren’t even mentions to handguns in the patent.
Dude blizz isnt “up to anything”
“what?”
Dude he just likes HS bro a lot. okay…
“No one trusts blizz bro”
Yeah… how come?
“bro… its not rigged okay bro”

uh no its lawyer spiel so its intentionally vague and deceptive.
Nice try tho…
Remember… you’re not here everyday.
Do NOT trust blizz.
And are somehow ALSO 100% certain… its a legit game.
It’s not being vague. At all. I literally quoted it, lmao.
Thanks.
Either your brain works in very misterious ways or you don’t know how people actually talk. Either way i’m almost medically interested.
I’m not, LMAO. I never said that.
You know. You can try to live and respond to reality. You keep citing things that only exist in your imagination and essentially having conversations with yourself.
So, you dont believe the game is legit?
I wouldn’t put it above Blizzard to rig the game, nor I can guarantee they didn’t. I can only say we have no evidence of either, much in the same way i can only say we don’t have evidence there’s a ghost rhinoceros behind my neck who just circles around me when i look back.
Anyway i’m jumping out of this discussion because, appropriately, the system is calling me out on my derailing.
Ahh so u brought nothing, nor do you hold either position.
“Its not rigged it could be maybe… definitely the patent doesnt do anything tho”
Wrong, 20 characters.
Nobody is saying that Blizzard is not up to something.
What we’re saying is that the something is NOT trying to frustrate players. Again, frustrating your customers has NEVER translated to higher sales anywhere.
You guys making progress, i remember threads you denied they would ever use the patent…now you know exactly what the purpose of the patent is…
Not to frustrate players.
I’d argue that the whole point of f2p is to frustrate players just enough so that they will fast track the collection process with money. Frustration is a tool they use in my opinion. They try to conceal the frustration by front loading rewards and this usually works, most players believe the game is more playable after they have just gotten their free deck and won some games with it, then picked up some extra dust they wouldn’t have otherwise had through the extra packs you get initially. Then the sunken time concept comes into play and those initial free things dissapear. I read that they use the same tactic in marvel snap but even worse.
I still wonder what was up with that survey in recent times where they were asking players if they would rather play hearthstone on a subscription basis, I am assuming that would completely kill off the f2p player base, but I think it would be a terrible idea, the idea I believe is because they think some f2p players would pay a little bit, if the rewards were much higher and while it might have been true if the game had initially launched and you could buy every card for $20/3 months or something to obtain every card then I imagine a lot of f2p players who think $100 for a preset is unreasonable, but 20 is more realistic, well I don’t think this structure would work at this stage of the games life cycle. I don’t put it past them that this is something that they might try given that most things that have come up in surveys have eventuated in some form or another.
No, they don’t.
This is a bluepilled take.
They aren’t trying to “conceal the frustration,” they are trying to get you to think you’re a better player than you are. You’re correct that there’s a honeymoon period, but you are not going to buy packs AFTER it; you are supposed to buy packs DURING it. They con players into feeling good about the game because SATISFIED customers make purchases.
Any frustration you feel afterwards isn’t the beginning of the manipulation. It’s the hangover from the manipulation wearing off.
I think both satisfied and frustrated customers both make purchases and obviously for different reasons. So it’s not a far stretch to say that they might be trying to satisfy and frustrate certain players at different points in their gaming experience. If you are cool, calm and collected and you think things are fine then there is often no need to change anything, you just continue on as per normal. If you look at the Gwent forums in it’s golden time for example, people were so ecstatic about how generous the game was in terms of giving cards out that people were claiming to have bought a whole bunch of cosmetics that they didn’t even use just to kind of donate to the game in a way of showing appreciation. Though you definitely can say a player who doesn’t have all of the cards or enough of a playable collection in just about any game has historically been pretty likely to buy more cards.
