I don’t remember anything like that, but we had a lot of stuff about the new ranked system, maybe it was during some Q&A with devs or something…

Yes, if Bomb Warrior becomes more popular, Quest Warlock will become much weaker. It’s a terrible matchup for the Warlock and the worst thing is that you can’t really tech against (other than Ooze which you already run, but it’s not enough).

That’s because your star bonus is based on either the rank you finish at OR your MMR, whichever is higher.

For example, if you have a Legend player MMR and then you finish a season in Bronze (because you didn’t have time to play, for example), you still get 10 star bonus next season.

On the other hand, if you’re on a new account, you still have low MMR and you hit Legend during your first month, you will also have 10 star bonus, even though you might not have Legend MMR yet.

It probably means that your MMR jumped into the 11 star bonus category because of higher win rate.

But honestly, I would really like Blizzard to just explain how the 11 star bonus works in the new system.

There’s a source button that leads you to the rank proof.

I didn’t know it’s a thing – the site already has an icon that displays on PC but I didn’t know that you need another one for mobile devices (or iOS in particular). I’ll talk to the devs and see what we can do!

We’ll add him once we get to Ashes of Outland 🙂

The answer is most likely that they can’t cut animations completely without causing some errors.

And as for your second point – that’s exactly what they’ve tried to do multiple times already. For the second player’s turn timer to not start until everything is finished, or at least for each animation to add some time to second player’s timer. But every now and then a new card turns out to break it again.

That’s why I think that rework might be the best option. If they tried to fix the card 5 times and it still doesn’t work properly, then there’s probably nothing they can do about it.

Hey, just updated it and both are on the list 🙂 I mean, it’s Pure not Libram, but Pure seems better (and obviously also runs Libram package).

Just wanted to say that I wholeheartedly DISAGREE with everything you’ve said 🙂

Patch notes said that they fixed it, so I assumed that was the case. But I’ll investigate, and I hope that they will fix the error soon (the article should still be useful for players from other regions + for EU players after it gets fixed).

I agree, but that wasn’t exactly what I meant. I was talking about their plans before expansion – out of the two, it was better (for the devs) to overdo it a bit than to make it unplayable. They definitely aimed to make Demon Hunter Tier 1 or at least high Tier 2 – it only made sense for a new class to be playable on the highest level, so everyone can enjoy it. But they overdid it by a lot. If it started on the power level it had after 2nd nerf patch, it wouldn’t be a problem.

They definitely do test new stuff internally, but the thing is that you can’t really do it that well. Even if a group of 20 people play with the new cards for a few weeks, they won’t form a real meta, they won’t discover every viable strategy and so on. Players can do more in a few hours than devs can do in weeks of playtesting. They would need a PTR to really balance things out. But the problem with PTR is that we would have a solved meta on expansion’s release, which also wouldn’t be very fun.

But in case of Demon Hunter, I actually don’t know how it slipped through the cracks. Usually when something is released too strong, it’s a bit too strong. Like 1-2 card changes and it’s back in line. But in case of Demon Hunter, the class was so absurdly strong that I can’t imagine how they missed it. My best guess is that they focused on other archetypes like Token or Big Demons, which weren’t really that powerful, and somehow ignored the insane Tempo/Aggro build.

His comment is not wrong, the original comment was talking about a guaranteed Epic, which is 1 per 10 packs. On average, Epics shows up once in 5 packs, but that’s average, not guaranteed – like you’ve said, it depends on personal luck.

I don’t believe there is, but I’ve heard that people were asking about it for a while now. So we might get it in 5 years or so 😀

Tier list was just updated! 🙂

Hard to say, I think that Galakrond Rogue will still be good. Now the question is whether Stealth package won’t become better than Secret package. We’ll probably see in a few days 🙂

I’m not so sure anymore. Enrage Warrior was already taking over as a #1 deck. Now with Sigil Runner being a 1/1 (so less early game pressure) and Priestess of Fury being so much easier easier to clear (the fact that a 5 attack minion can now kill her is big)… I think that DH might finally be where it should have been at the start with those nerfs.

Disenchanted cards count as owned for the sake of duplicate protection. So it doesn’t work.

Don’t try to game the system 🙂

Yeah, you can’t get the info, because Blizzard didn’t share it and no one really knows. I’m pretty sure it’s not so much a specific position, but rather top X% of players (maybe 10-20%). The number of players in Legend vary between servers and seasons, so a fixed number wouldn’t be the best idea.

Yeah, that sounds about right. If I remember correctly, he’s checking it by changing the date on his PC and trying to fool the client. When the adventure “opens”, that’s the date it’s programmed to open. The only thing that chan change here is Blizzard moving the date for some reason, and since they usually have those things planned well in advance, it’s probably not going to happen.

It’s different than leaks like some random person with no real credence posting a card from new expansion – those usually turn out to be fake.

I still prefer to wait for official confirmation or “leaks” that come directly from Blizzard (like when they post something too early… yeah, that’s basically confirmed, some social media guy just pushed the button too early :p).

I created a separate post for it, but I guess that I’ll add it here too 🙂
