(Update: Mercenaries Y'Shaarj Event Is Live Now) Hearthstone 23.4 Patch Notes
I got a new one for you: I can’t open standard packs. lol
Hearthstone Patch 23.4 & Throne of Tides Mini-Set Are Now Live on PC! (Update: And Mobile)
They also added a new bug: I can’t open Standard packs. I can’t get new cards. :/
Old Sunken City and Mercenary packs do work, just my old Standard pack don’t work.
New Hearthstone Mini-Set Announced - Throne of Tides - Launching June 1
Also as there is a Snapdragon from Nazjatar (they were made in a much later expansion) maybe we finally get Unshacled Gilgoblins, who use them as mounts. We got some Alliance’s Waveblade Ankoan as two ledges in main set but only one Gilgoblin as a bad guy pirate, not from the good guys of Horde.
New Hearthstone Mini-Set Announced - Throne of Tides - Launching June 1
Pretty cool, I like the Cataclysm elemental planes. Neptulon and Ozumat are cool have have very nice animations. However they both are flashy but kinda boring stat piles with removal, basically just Goliath and Onyxia again. Doesn’t really make new decks like Kazakusan did, unless we are getting new elemental synergies? I would assume so, Throne of Tides is literally the home of water elementals.
If there is no N’zoth getting Brann and Ulduar with Yogg is unlikely. Now all we know about the next expansions is maybe Brann and Reno make appearances and maybe other elemental lords follow? I would love to see Therazane finally, even if they butcher the WoW lore.
Tavern Brawl - Heroic Tavern Brawl - 12 Wins Decks!
They aren’t even trying to hide the gambling for kids anymore!
Shop Update: New Battlegrounds Cosmetic Bundle, Murloc-Themed Constructed Skins & Standard Bundles
So that’s why they didn’t put Sir Finley in the Tavern Pass. You have to pay separately!
Elise was in the Uldum pre-purchase and Reno is a Hero card. Only missing Brann anymore. My theory is that Brann and Reno are coming in the next two expansions.
Shop Update: Leeroy Bundle (Paladin Skin + Card Back + 5x Paladin Pack) Available For $14.99
DON’T BUY IT UNTIL YOU HAVE HEARD THE VOICE LINES!!!
A lot of people including well known content creators are saying the voicelines are really bad. The voice does not resemble Leeroy’s voice at all and he does not make ANY other references to the video apart from shouting his name, which he does with wrong timing and pronounciation. If this doesn’t bother you, go ahead, give your money to Bobby Kotick and no proceeds to the actual creator of Leeroy Jenkins.
Nozdormu the Eternal Deck Lists - How to Finish Nozdormu Day Quest - June 15, 2023
Wait a second… these are just Pirate Warrior, Ramp Druid and Mech Mage! The only three decks in the game at the moment!
Tavern Brawl - Blood Magic
I got some wins as Shaman, fun cards include:
Unstable Evolution
Witch’s Brew
Instructor Fireheart
Overdraft
Voyage to the Sunken City Rewards Track Refresh Details
Reminder: Bobby Kotick is still in charge of the company and the lawsuits are still active.
Nothing suprising or must have, just skins that reuse old voice lines exept new emotes and greetings and Faelin. I won’t buy Tavern Pass this time and won’t spend a dime on ActiBlizz until Bobby is out.
New Hearthstone Expansion Will Be Revealed On March 15, Standard Year & Core Set Soon After, New Mobile Warcraft Game To Be Announced in May
All I can think of for the new mobile game is Gatcha. Pulling classic Warcraft 3 heroes again and again for infinite money spending cap. I want to believe but Blizzard has gone downhill so hard that I can’t trust them to make anything but another half-assed cash grab. I’m betting on it being released in early access without mentioning it’s early access, just like Mercenaries, Shadowlands and Reforged.
At least “traditional” Hearthstone is still chugging along!
Most Important Cards Rotating Out Of Standard In 2022 - Demon Hunter, Druid, Hunter, Mage, and Paladin (Part 1)
Mozaki could (in theory) be replaced by the new Haleh, Matron Protectorate. Won’t be as good but could work in post-rotation meta. At least if you are lazy and don’t want to build a new deck, that is.
What I will miss in after the rotation is E.T.C, God of Metal, Il’gynoth and Maxima Blastenheimer. Very fun and stylish combo decks that make really unique gameplay and deckbuilding.
(OUT NOW!) 22.4.3 Patch Notes - Locusts Removed from Kazakusan Treasures, Battlegrounds Balance Changes - March 3
Holy crap, what an awful way to nerf a card. Just remove it from the game? This case isn’t bad, but if this becomes more common… “a new legendary is problematic? just remove it andgive 1600 dust, my job is done!”
Expansion Speculation - Are We Going to Pandaria? Is Monk Class Just Around The Corner?
I’m worried if the game can handle 11, or eventually 12 classes with unmixable cards…
Expansion Speculation - Are We Going to Pandaria? Is Monk Class Just Around The Corner?
I’m still salty they chose Demon Hunter over Monk (I play Monk in Wow). Monk was designed in WoW to be one of the ten base classes, part of the whole picture. They start at the same level 1, make a name for themselves and journey through Azeroth and meet class trainers and other Monks all around the world. Death Knights and Demon Hunters are Heroic classes, they started at level 60 and above, and are already masters of their classes. This was made very well in Hearthstone as KotFT expansion gave Hero cards that made everyone basically a Death Knight, and made offical Death Knight cards OP. They should have made Demon Hunter the same way: each class gets a Hero card which gives the character green eyes and Demonic powers, and Illidan as a card that gives OP Demon Hunter cards (like Skull of Gul’dan on launch lol). And then added Monk as the 10th and final class, a nice round number. At least Chen can say “hello”…
Kazakusan
I really want to try it but I’m kinda disappointed. We have seen these treasures for years. The worst part is reusing images in Wild: Pure Cold uses Simulacrum’s (epic collectable card) image and Necrotic Poison is “Rogues Do It…” from the original E.T.C…
Should We Finally Be Allowed to Turn Off Animations in Hearthstone?
Disabling ALL animations would be awful for the game. All cool Legendaries lose their coolness factor without animations. The game would be really boring. That being said some animations are still awfully slow, like drawing cards. They should be generally sped up.
And for battlegrounds, automatic animation skipping should be implemented when certain amount of time has passed in combat, or even just ending the fight instantly if it takes too long.
What if Demon Hunter Was a Temporary Class?
Sorry I messed up my comments but yeah, I just assumed the class would be rotated to wild. Even in that case the class would become unplayable garbage over time as powercreep gave other classes new better cards.
What if Demon Hunter Was a Temporary Class?
What I most hate about Demon Hunter is that it’s thematically a dead end. The class lore is “Illidan”. That’s it. Every set we just get more and more cards of dudes with green bandages over their eyes. And more Warlock’s demons.
With Monk we have 20 playable races, the lore of whole Pandaria and three distinct specializations of tank, healer and dps.
With Death Knight we have literally every race if they are dead and three specializations, Blood, Frost and Unholy, and every undead zone and creature.
With Demon Hunter we have Illidan, two races, elf and elf, and two specializations, Illidan and Demon Illidan.
?
You are here too?
You are attacking random people on the internet?
Is that better or worse than making a successful and “entertain” game?
