remember: the game still costs well over $3000… it’s stupidly expensive and 1350gold ain’t gonna change nuffin
You replaced something simple that worked with something complex that is deeply flawed.
Winning should be rewarded, not roping.
I want more rewards than in the old system, not less.
Please consider changing things back.
Where are you getting this “more gold for their effort” BS? It’s already been proven that you do not get more gold. Even with the 1350 increase from this buff, it’s still nowhere near enough. The old system was BAD to begin with and this isn’t even as good as it when it needed to be leaps and bounds above it.
‘Yeah, we deliberately made a really convoluted and complicted system that we claimed would be better for the players, but actually screwed them over, BUT! Don’t worry, at sometime in the future, in ways we aren’t going to go into in detail, we’ll definitely make sure it all works out, somehow. We’re not going to say exactly how right now, but you can definitely trust us… THIS TIME.’
Guys… seriously… please treat us as human beings. We are SO tired of being exploited, lied to, and manipulated. We want to pay you. We want to support you. We love your games. Stop treating us like this.
Right On Cycledance!
When the initial survey went out I decided I would not buy the next preorder. When this system was launched I was so glad that I did not preorder. The old system allowed people to have gold to buy packs on day one in order to be able to craft as many decks as possible. This new system directly reduces that ability by providing less gold, AND it was incredibly vague in what appears to be an effort to hide from players that they would be getting less gold. Requiring people to log in for special events just to get the same amount of gold they did before is incredibly shady. Overall this system on its face is confusing and appears to be designed to take gold out of the hands of players. The onus is on you Blizzard to prove this wrong. Not with further vague statements like today, but with actual evidence and facts.
Already now players have to spend an additional 2k gold for BG perks, and now this is even less gold out of our hands. I will continue speaking with my wallet, you will not earn another dollar from me until this system is fixed.
Sincerely,
Someone who buys every single preorder.
Yep same here as I have no intention to spend any real money until they improve this a great deal. And keep in mind I had spent over $600 dollars within the first 10 or 11 months of playing on the old format. Sure it’s not near as much as compared to what others have spent but if I am enjoying the game and feel as if my time is valued then I will spend the money. But right now I don’t feel like Blizzard values our time quite as much and it shows by what they have put forth here in my opinion.
The new rewards system is broken. The early player data proves that (shorturl.at/kuIUY). Blizzard trying to say that XP will come later is not a fix. I have played since launch, and the rewards system in the game has improved a snail’s pace. This new system is a leap backwards. As of writing this post I have opened 65 of my pre-ordered packs and only gotten 2 legendaries. The drop rate is garbage, and the cost to craft a legendary is ridiculous. Hearthstone is getting harder and harder to enjoy, and stay up to date with as a casual player. It is even harder to introduce people to Hearthstone for the first time, and bring lapsed players back. To help ease the cost of buying pre-order bundles, adventures, skins, and other stuff I use Amazon coins, but right now Hearthstone doesn’t work on the Kindle Fire I use, and I haven’t seen any info about this issue being addressed. I guess we can just wait, and see what Blizzard does to band aid these things, but I’m curious how many players leave because this F2P game that was supposed to be fun and easy to get into is so far from either of those two concepts.
having spent just over $1500 on this game starting back from 2014 i can safely say i feel only regret that my gaming addiction was so thoroughly taken advantage of from this company, i have no faith in anything further said or promised only memories of “don’t you guys have phones?” “shut up pvp guy” and my personal favorite “you think you do, but you don’t”
I am disappointed anyway. I unhappy with my pack opening And I do not feel that as before. I open packs and close the game. That’s sad.
Far from being the gold the problem, the game is totally unbalanced in the crafting system, the legendary ratio is very high and people get frustrated when they receive so few legendary when opening packs. The winning missions are very costly in time, it should take precedence to play although it forces to play for a minimum number of turns and interaction in the game to be valid. I have seen super costly weekly missions to do because they took a long time to do and those to win did not have the option to change them.
Solem was Exactly right
So, players that haven’t been playing since it was first implemented will be able to easily catch up to players that have put in the time and effort to get all rewards. This isn’t fair.
Now that’s pure bs. You promised more, you delivered less than what we already had and now we have to put our faith in “special events”. Even more you lied and tried to trick the community. 0 respect for your players and the time they spend on hs. Obviously this is going to get you 0 profit.
Wow, you checked a lot of bingo squares with this response. Shame!
So basically we are at the mercy of you and need to have faith that there will actually be enough events that grant enough xp to make this all better than the old system.
Not going to happen. I have zero reason to have faith in something like this when so many other companies have used this excuse to easily lie to their communities. Declare your intentions. Reveal exactly how much XP you intend to give out via. If our projections are incomplete, give us the full numbers instead of stringing us along like cattle.
This is a joke, right? This literally does nothing, at all. Not only does this change not even bring the new and “improved” system up to par with the old one which was awful, but you have the audacity to think TAKING THINGS OUT OF THE BATTLE PASS to add a tad bit more gold makes it better? Double all the rewards and then we can start talking about an “improved” system. Otherwise, kindly f*** off.
Wrong. The 1350 gold is what they are saying the will swap out for the rotating packs they were trying to throw away in the later stages of the track. 1 year of the dragon pack at level 48 was insulting.
You miss the point. They said they would not take away Any gold compared to what we earned before. They lied.
I pay for both bundles each expansion. I still feel cheated by the new system.
1 pack is not comparable to the 300 gold that you get at other levels. How can level 47 award 300 gold… Work harder for level 48 and get 1 pack that rotates 2 weeks later?
If you end up with any less good than would be earned on the old system, you lose out. The rewards track was supposed to improve what you could earn… Not reduce it
perfect reply, i greet you. i hope some1 red you.
They need to let us play what mode we want not force us with Win Condition Quests and Achievements to earn XP, feels like a job now we are not having fun anymore!
