All it does it provide an ugly card back. Previous solo missions at least unlocked new cards. What a disappointment. The legendary quests are just as bad, not one of them rewards gold, what were they thinking. Gold is ALWAYS better than packs. They should do some gold and some packs like they did in the past. There is no reason to do the brawl or the solo missions.

The reason previous adventures gave cards is because they cost money. This adventure was completely free, so it makes sense that the rewards are minimal (think back to boomsday, for example). The legendary quests are pretty par for the course. That’s kind of how they’ve always been and they’re always better than usual quests so I don’t get the belly-aching about that.
I mean if all you’re focused on is the raw material utility of everything, yeah I guess the mode isn’t that good. But it’s a game. People kind of… play games… to, follow me on this one, have fun. The adventure is supposed to be fun and introduce interesting characters, a short narrative, and unique dueling encounters and cards found only inside the adventure.
Personally I like the adventure a lot. There were some challenging missions in it for me (probably bc I am not the best at the game lol) and I’m overall pleased with it.

As a player that only plays decks I created myself, I really can’t stand these adventures that force you to use a poorly pre-made deck. There is very little fun or challenging in adventures like that because you are completely at the whim of RNG.
And those other adventures were buyable with gold, easily. So it’s a moot point. This should also be a gold Buy-in and introduce new cards. This would be the best time too because it would shake up the established meta.

Maaybe your perception of the decks being poorly made is that you’re not good at using them? lol Once I figure out the theme of whatever deck I’m given in the mission, I do pretty well (and I’m generally garbage at this game so that’s saying a lot).
Also, guess what, not everyone is you. Just because you only like playing with your own decks doesn’t mean everyone else only likes that. I also like building decks but hey it adds some variety to have to do a challenge with a preset deck. In addition to that, there are a looot of poor people who like playing games and sometimes being given decks is really nice and gives them a chance to use cards they might not otherwise see bc they can’t buy too many packs.

Then don’t play it. The rewards were clearly announced before the adventure even released.
I enjoy playing the adventure. It’s a nice change from the other game modes, fun to have a different challenge for a while. I don’t play it for the rewards, I play it for fun. If it’s not fun for you, then you should not play it.
Probably: “Let’s give the players extra quests on top of what they normally get. We don’t take anything away, we give them something extra. Surely there’s no way our base will ever complain about that, right?”
When it’s 150 or more, then I agree that gold is better than packs. Otherwise, I prefer packs.
But unlike you, I don’t generalize my opinion as if it’s the only and ultimate truth. I understand that other people might have other preferences and that there’s no way to please everyone.
Or perhaps they should stop doing extras if all they get is whining from entitled children.
… for you.
So don’t play them. And accept that not the entire world revolves around you.
Lots of players DO enjoy the tavern brawl. Lots of players DO enjoy the new adventure. Is it really so terrible that Blizzard invested time and resources into making something that, for this time, caters to another part of the player base?

Hahahaha!
You might want to scroll back a few months and see how well that idea was received when the Galakrond’s Awakening solo adventure and its cost was announced.
… because everyone has unlimited gold available?

There are could be different designs what rewards should be in missions. I agree that receiving a card back only is disappointing.
As for me, the best reward ever was and will be receivng the card (or a bunch of cards) which you can get only passing a solo mission (never receive by paying for the card). This is how HS started and this is awesome.

Geez, Blizz is giving something for free (decks from quests, 9 in total if my math is correct), so let´s all hate them for it. What makes you think that everyone is like you? I like this adventure, it´s fun for me. And guess what, my favourite solo games have always been the Runs, coz I got to play with cards I don´t own.

It’s not stuff for free, it’s the illusion of it. It costs time to receive junk. Free packs this late in the expansion is meaningless. It’s just 40 dust. Everyone, including F2P players will have All commons and rares, most epics and a few legendaries with enough dust to craft a couple more legendaries. If they don’t they are not using thier gold correctly. You should have nearly free 200 packs at the start of the expansion free if you save your gold and play above a 50% win rate with atleast 20 games a week. It’s just math. If you have played over a year and your smart in your use of dust you should have plenty in reserve when the expansion hits.
In the light of that, brawl +3 legendary quests = 10 packs. That averages to 400-500 dust. That’s 1 epic card to craft from 3 quests and 1 brawl. They doubledip because some of the quests involve the brawl. But still, that’s potentially hours of time investment for 1 card and its not even legendary quality.
Ever heard of a thing called “entertainment”? No?
Okay then.

then that 100 gold you suggested is worthless to you because you already have all the cards

I sort of agree with pre-made decks being bad. The thing I don’t like is going into a battle without even knowing what’s in the deck. At the very least they could give us the option of looking at Aranna’s deck before the battle.
It’s not completely pointless as it’s a decent challenge for me. I had to repeat a few battles just in the first two chapters. Plus the new cards and characters may indicate where they’re heading with the next expansion set. It would be a waste if all the original characters and cards in the adventure stayed exclusive to this adventure.
I think they stopped giving out free cards for adventure after the Frozen Throne right?
Yes and no on the free cards. First chapters of Dalaran Heist, Tombs of Terror, and Galakrond’s Awakening are all free. Get far enough in all three, and you get six card packs plus whatever cards are in the EVIL chapter one of Galakrond’s Awakening.
Hmm… how is that? 60g/day from the quests over 4 months is 7200g. 20 games/week @ 50%WR is 10 wins per week which is 33g/week; times 17 weeks is 561g. For a total of 7761g. Round up to 8k. That’s 80 packs. Where are the other 120 packs coming from?
