Hey Good Afternoon,
I used to play this game a lot from beta until about 2018 or 2019 or so. I enjoyed it, but I could kind of see where the game was headed and I lost interest over time and stopped playing. I really enjoyed playing back then. I was never a top tier player, but I loved to experiment with decks and play ranked when I was out of my home.
I just returned yesterday, and I figured ahh what the heck might as well give the new cards a shot for next expansion. So I preordered (foolishly). Today I played about 3-5 games and I got absolutely rolled. I haven’t played in YEARS, and I’m facing these players that are all using legendary cards and nearly everything they have is gold.
What kind of returning experience is this? I played opponents with nearly identical decks each game with very little deviation. I saw similar cards every game. Nothing I have in my card collection can even come close to dealing with ANYTHING from the newer sets and this game has gotten even more formulaic since I left.
I’m going to refund my preorder. This game is in a horrible place for returning players and newbs. I really wanted to check out the next expac, but it looks like this game has only gotten worse since I left. There needs to be some serious fixing of the returning player and newb player experience. Really wanted to get back into this. I was willing to preorder a 50$ deck, but it feels like an absolute mistake.
if you are a returning player, I believe you are put in a low braket ladder with other returning players. by climbing you get packs and in the end a free almost meta deck
since the introduction of the core set, legendary cards and golden legendary cards aren’t rara. without knowing what your opponents were playing, it is impossible to tell if they had free legendary or paid legendary
you instal a game and the first thing you do is buying something that will be available in 20 days, without even knowing the full set?
I don’t play the standard game. I never got into it that deeply to start with and now I find it so complex and multi-layered to be impenetrable. But I enjoy Mercenaries for the most part; a much simpler game. Which is why traditionalists hate it so much I guess.
the cards are getting stronger, kazakuzan today cheated will be an average card in 2 or 3 expansions, this policy of selling expansions to the maximum is zero, blizzard doesn’t care because mr. kotick is swimming in a pool of $$ $
a new player or a player who returns to the game after several years off, he can do nothing but lose all the matches
cant wait for mr kotick to get a good kick where i think microsoft and it would even be great if he ended up handcuffing this crook (for letting the rapes happen in the company)
I can see the tradition for those act as a spokesperson or promoter the company of “totally going to ignore every point the op brings up, no matter how valid the criticism of the game and company is” style post we always get right after one of these threads is made is continuing.
I can’t even remember a single thread like this being made without them making a post exactly like that.
we too can see op’s post history
we know op was referring to returning to normal hearthstone, and nearly all his posts talk about mercstone
Agree with You, sir Totally. HS used to be a skill-based GAME! Nowadays HS is just pure CASINO HS which rewards extremely lucky players. Where is the SKILL in this GAME? When I queu in the ladder, almost every second player is DRUID with perfect mulligan. Why is that?? Blizzard devs are enabling this cheap strategy of NO Brain HS! For Example; Lightning Bloom is way too OP card in the hands of good druid player. It is almost impossible to win druids if they have Lightnining Bloom in their opening hand.>>> and then Blizzard boost druids to give them very powerfull hero Guff who can even turbo ramp druids.
Sorry, I rant but game is losing its fun factor rapidly and is becoming a Fear Factory!!
Blizzard, Remove Lightining Bloom from the arsenal of druid. IMO, druid is unbeatable currently! When one class goes over the top, it will weaken the enjoyability of other classes and furthermore accelerates the loss of Gaming Biovidersity and enjoyability!
You can do better Blizzard!
Sincerely Yours
Hearthstone hasnt been skill based since first year of hearthstone was over probably , or 2nd … its a shtshow for years. literal shtshow for braindead people
A minion should not be able to attack while being frozen. And no, I’m not talking about Ragnaros. I’m talking about a minion that literally attacked while being frozen. I want to believe it was a bug or unintended.
As Xbgt pointed out it is intended. The dh minion is frozen to attack by itself, but the card description reads “whenever” (or something like that)the “hero” attacks, this card will attack as well(there’s no restrictions on the latter). The frozen effect applies to card “own” ability on the phase attack only(there’s a guideline somewhere on the net on how effects work on HS though not official as MTG is a pretty good read). Though this card did get some nerf threads because there’s 2 of them is actually not op on current HS current powerplays on 8/9 mana or 7 if you manage to reduce with the 4 mana minion, the problem is that there are better dh decks around so this card sees little plays and so it comes to the light fm time to time because of its multiple attack minion/face late game finisher.
Dude this is the ever most awesome game off all time free to play. You can win against any deck if you are lucky. You just need some time to get your free cards. No annoying adds. Lots of game modes. Callenging campaigns. Whatever you need. You just dont know what you are talking about. There is no unbeatable deck even with free standard cards.
