I feel sorry for new players

I know that playing against others who are dropping legendaries against chillwind yetis is no fun at all. I wonder how long those players stick around?

not saying they couldn´t or shouldn´t do much more, but with the free deck you have an ok starting point to get up to at least plat fairly quickly.
But sure, if you want to go further as a f2p you´ll need to commit for quite some time, after the first rotation it gets much more reasonable.

If you finished apprentice ranks and your best 4 drop is chillwind yeti, it’s your problem.
The game gives you (as far as I know): 20 packs + free deck + path reward (probably at least 20 levels; there are 50 ranks after all).

Admit it: you just wanted something to complain about.
If you really started a new account, you should know how much free stuff you get; count the legendary cards that you have

Random cards don’t make decks. i have Agewynn and Silas Darkmoon.

Did you dust all the others legendary? No way you have only 2 legendary.
No way.

The free deck alone makes a playable deck

Where is the free deck? I wasn’t offered one.
and I do have some legend neutrals. Geddon Cairne Mankrik

did you play through the apprentice ranks?
They should give you a free deck after it (not sure how; probably from the achievement section?)

these are all free legendary.
Since you played the apprentice ranks, you should have many packs + gold + path reward.
Did you play the apprentice ranks or did you skip them (I think they are skippable)

As far as I know I didn’t skip. I started with jaina and unlocked everything just the way it was offered to me.
And I have gotten packs as I go, but since they are random they don’t exactly make a deck that stacks up against the ones I’m facing.

don´t really know what you have to do for it, but i remember when i joined (the expansion they introduced DH, as i rightly thought it would be a good moment to get in as getting a DH deck to climb had been insanely cheap then+i had quite a troublesome amount of free time that summer due to an illness keeping me from working) at some point i was offered a variety of somewhat decent decks and went with a highlander packet.

huh. Well I won’t swear I did everything the right way because Idk if I did or not.
I don’t have a free deck and all I have gotten pack wise is the free random packs you get for the beginner quests as well as the rewards track drops.
If I did something wrong then I would imagine many new players would too.
perhaps Blizzard could improve the experience and make it more self evident.

According to Blizzard, there are new player introductory quests. Completing those and finishing the apprentice ranks should get you your free deck.

hmm well Ill look this over just as soon as i get crushed again.
Edit: it’s one deck for each account.
I am not a “new player”.
I think that explains it all.

Going to use my old man voice to say new players this days have it good, back in my day getting an Epic for the class i played was a major win i still remember the joy i had getting 1 Ice Block and a Pyroblast in pack opens.

You are showered with packs and a free deck as a newcomer thats total Lunecy !!!

Now get off my lawn !

Not per Bnet account. A different region should also get a deck, I believe.

lmao! hey! the old man gig is mine:) I gotta’ be one of the most senior people here:)

Maybe I messed up then i don’t have the deck.

No way you re older than me i just turned 37.

You also should consider that you were building your MMR through the entry ranks, you have a star bonus at bronze 10, and you aren’t actually a new player. It is very likely the people you are playing aren’t new players either, lol.

I hadn’t logged into Europe server in a year and got a deck last week.

'cause that seems super fun for beginners lol.

I found this thread, where someone wasn’t getting their account after completing the requirements on a seperate region. They had to relog, but it popped up for them.

… You aren’t a beginner is the point. You won games getting to bronze 10 and that changes your opponents. MMR is a thing. If you were truly a noob I suspect you would be seeing more Dark Iron Dwarf and Yetis.
