As soon as there’s a possible competitive aspect to it people are going to want to be the best at it or emulate the best at it to give the best shot at doing well. You’re never going to convince people to just relax and accept not being competitive in a competitive game.
People feel like something was taken away from them because it unquestionably was. This was something that for a few days they had a video advertising it in the launcher. They knew people were doing it, they put a video in the launcher that explains it then took it away from people with a bad explanation and nothing to replace it. People were doing this because they needed to do it to compete and now they have to replace it with something that takes longer.
No matter the meta, Hearthstone has the fun appeal in the flashy cards and voice lines, in addition to building a collection.
Mercs is just inanimate portraits knocking together, and the spells resolve very quickly and aren’t flashy and impressive (albeit efficient). You only get sound bytes on diamond back Legendaries…
There is some fun in being able to experiment with different comps for higher end PvE stuff that you can’t do without a lot of grinding either. I can’t just throw together an ice comp to go against heroic garr for example without a lot of grinding beforehand
i just want them to fix whatever is causing some people to d/c on pvp
yep i got the win but i want to play vs other players…but its seems something goes wrong when tryingn to start a game
Did 12 potential mysterious strangers interactions yesterday, 5 of them were in Blackrock Mountain, the others were various levels of Heroic from level 15 to 25.
I just decided to stop the game. I was having fun completing tasks, now i’m just endlessly retiring runs. I’ve never felt so much frustration in a game before, even in mobile games that are clearly pay to win.
Actually, they troll around on Twitter all the time. They won’t reply to anything serious though. It feels like some of their employees do a lot of tweeting while “under the influence” of something (i.e. drunk). That, or maybe they are told to not to reply to certain questions?
shrugs
I can see the results of their presence on these forums as well, but they don’t actually participate in them or seem to delve into any of the content within.
But, they did add a bunch of new stuff in the shop to try and sell us.
All in USD
$10 for 300 coins for Jaina
$25 for Lich King and 20xMerc pack
$30 for 2xRandom Legendary and 30xMerc pack
$3 for Epic Coin Purse (3x200 coins for random Epic Mercs)
It’s kind of surprising this was hot fixed while there are still other obvious bugs and things yet to be updated at all.
I’m also wondering, how does it make me want to buy coins or packs when all I am after now is tasks? It just seems to be a totally self defeating principle. Now I’m playing less and not paying at all.
