Quests might be broken, but honestly, before quests it was still “get a build by turn 4-5 or enjoy the last 3 places”. The difference now is you can win with TONS of wacky cards. Before, there were 3-4 combos or less everyone was fighting over depending on which types were in. If you didn’t luck into combo pieces fast, you were out by turn 10 because 1-2 lucky people had 50/50-200/200 minions by then.
Now, you can win with LITERALLY any card + some stat boost shenanigan’s via quests. Some are obviously stronger but I have been able to combo most of them with a variety of cards. The one that gives you a discovered minion from opponents board is great for stealing buffed cards so you can level faster and more safely. The one that gives you triples for only 2 minions is… well crazy, but you still need a build or you are dead by turn 10.
All in all, I think it is an improvement. It’s hard to know what will win the game and whos going to win by turn 3 now ;p
I’ve been getting low rolled like crazy since the patch dropped. I’ve also gotten ridiculously high rolled. Mostly I manage to take a low roll and limp my way to top 4.
That being said… Quests make the mode less formulaic and enable fun shenanigans.
Me dying in bs. Always quests kill me in miserable ways. My minions always hits the weakest and then it hits strongest and ends me.
All right I’m done with BG. Until they remove Quests from BG. I’m done playing it.
This and the only time I have not limped into a 4th i had 2 battlecry based quests and I chose the 3rd that I completed the turn before I died in 8th.
Sorry you cant play your favourite dozen op builds.
What cosmetic gives you an advantage? Every expansion they give you a battle pass for standard or BG that is $20. Pick the mode you like and get the pass. If you like both than spend the $40. Beyond that if you are smart you should never have to buy packs with real money to get all the cards.
If this game was completely random with zero luck the top players each reset would be different but they aren’t. That’s because they know how to make the best of what they are given.

Go away, please. Unbelievable.
Hey,
Thanks Blizzard for bringing back quests all of sudden. I was sitting at 6990 just to find the next day that quests came. I have never lost this much nor have I been as butthurt by battlegrounds. Im now sitting at 6100. GG

I actually think what you’re seeing is exactly the opposite.
Quests give enough direction for people to filter the pool down to what will or won’t work with their quest/reward, and this direction feels better than doom rolling hoping something good shows up.
All of the problems are still in the mode.
While I agree with this part, not everyone is a sweaty tryhard and the overall game play is dumpster right now. The new set of minions radically altered how the game is played, and I don’t like or care to play the game they have made.
I think people really need to look deeply at how many neutral minions are in each game now and realize how much that impacts one’s rolls in the mode. It’s legitimately more difficult to find what you want/need because there are significantly more units in each match, and I think that frustration shows up in these "game is rigged"posts because it feels like the tavern hates you.
It’s kinda true, they have a patent based on this user experience. Granted I think its more based on buying packs but they do this.
Suddenly when my luck turns to absolute garbage and the minion pool is even more garbage.

On top of all this, you can just flat get a bad quest choices that don’t do well with your hero/tribe options and you are better off just leaving the lobby and trying again.
I hate how much quests drive success and close down the game on turn three.
My quests was always centered around 12 battlecries, 45 spend gold, and 12 deathrattles. I always lose.

The payouts for some of them are awful regardless of the difficulty. Not really a fan.

I agree, I demand remove quests.
There are people that like them.
I just won’t play, which is more and more where I am with the game as a whole.
I’m not a big fan of the quests either. There are an odd time where I’ll get a good quest and boosts me to top 4. However, most of the time I can’t get nothing going, quests come, doesn’t help, and i’m toast after turn 4 or 5.
So out of curiosity i would like to see a list of the quests that are considered “bad” from the commenters?
Play ten beasts or mechs, and then the tavern contains two demons each refresh.
Your minions get 7/7 but die when they attack.
Etc.
Lots of them are completely useless with the new minion pool that is less about minions cycling and more about your hand.
Same
More and more cards are getting revealed and more and more it feels like I’ll simply be a viewer starting with this next expansion. BGs has been highroll since the big patch months ago and even more so with Quests. The devs simply refuse to deal with power creep, mana cheat, class identity in Standard.
