All balance changes for these cards over the years will be reverted, but cosmetic changes will remain. For example: Felstalker will be Felstalker and will not revert to Succubus. Also, all Basic cards from the Hall of Fame will be Common rarity in the Classic format.
Come on, seriously? Why? None of those changes were even good to begin with.
With all the respect, do you realize that some players (like ie. me and i guess I am not the only one) purchased the classic pack ONLY for the fact it is PERMANENT and it will be there forever (for the time of the game existence)?
Thats why there were refunds in past. Argument that âwe re getting new cards for freeâ is no argument at all, everyone will get them, but not everyone has spent so many. And I am quite low-to-no payer and 99% of my purchases are for gold, but imagine someone who spend like thousand âŹ/$ to get all the classic cards, or even all the classic golden cards.
So the disappointment, close to rage, of some guys is in place and is expectable.
This is also answer to SuddenReal how is this greed - like this.
Classic formatâŚlove the idea. Core set refresh each yearâŚyes keeping it fresh. I am so thrilled to see how these changes affect the coming meta. Can dust original classic cardsâŚfinally I can get rid of all those gold classics that I never use, I have just never really cared about having gold cards, animations are nice but Iâm not gonna sweat just having to have them. Canât wait!
I said some players may be, if they have thrown their âŹs out of widnow, i would not be surprised. Unless you are son of some kind of lord or sheikh, and you are adult, you have to work to earn them. So yea, like I said, they have the right of raging.
I am just explaining to those who are surprised, not presenting my own stance, like i said, i pay mostly by gold, I play it for free, so I dont have to care much
The core set concept looks really nice! Having a set of certain cards choosen from a big pool contributing to a healthy Meta sounds promising.
The classic format is something I think every Blizzard game should have. I love Classic WoW and have been dreaming of Classic Overwatch for years. Classic Hearthstone is something I never experienced, but this mode doesnt have Demon Hunter so Iâm sure Iâll like it! I wonder what kind of previously considered âterribleâ cards are viable there.
The only thing that, for now, seems very odd to me is the addition of Shadowform to standart. It hasnt seen play in years and goes completly against the design philosophy of Priest (No Face Damage!). Makes me fear the Core Set will not have a card pool as good as I hope. However, I might be completly wrong about this. Perhaps Priest will get an Inspire-theme next expansion or Shadowform recieves some balance changes (2 Mana, change your hero power to "Deal 2 damage to a minion - for example)
Youâre keeping the same amount of cards, theyâre just being swapped. They did promise that they would always be in standard but considering the power creep nowadays, few basic and classic cards are meta defining and made the game stale. This will shake up the game a lot. Itâs really not a scam and weâre getting the entire set for free which will make new players more willingly to stick with the game. Blizzard has done a lot of bs, but give them credit where itâs due, this is a good change.
but thats exactly what they give you for free now with the core set . they give you the same ammount of cards rotating out by removing the classic set , which only partialy rotates out btw . You want the equivalent amount of cards? , congrats thats what you get
This is an incredibly welcome addition to the game. I donât know about others, but in my friends group, I am the longest time player. Everyone I know has dropped the game due to the power creep (and cost creep), so this is an excellent chance for me to play with them again. This change is going to be healthy for f2p players.
I also like the idea of the core set, which I feel like will have a lot of the benefits of wild (which I mainly play), without some of the very frustrating aspects of the format.
The new cards are not a substitute to classic, they are more akin to a substitute to the basic set which is given for free.
I spent 100 euro on classic to complete my set 2 years ago under the promise that I would be able to play those cards in standard forever. Not only the dev broke this promise, but they wonât even refund dust (not even talking about money/ blizzard credit) so I could craft cards that wouldnât even be evergreen that I could play in standard.
This is a scheme to have people pay again for an amount of playable cards they already own in the game. How is that fair?
I have a lot of extra duplicates from wild. I pretty much didnât disenchant anything ever, if it wasnât nerfed.
Everything else, I am keeping for possible future nerf. (or more fair dust economy)
So, what if I have +9 of one card from wild, which rotates in core set. Will I be able to disenchant extra cards which I have after rotation ?
What are you talking about? You donât lose any cards. You get the Core Set for Free every year (as itâs gonna change). And you will be able to dust old classic cards (if you want to as they will still be playable in Wild). The changes they make is the opposite of greed.
Tell that to the people who play classic wow. The other formats will still be available, so itâs just a nice addition and really excellent for new players learning the game.
