Fluffy Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Blizzard has always been awesome at balancing, probably since starcraft. I played a lot of warcraft 3, and I remember patches where units nobody used, and if they used it nobody used a certain spell would see that spell's mana cost reduction from 40 to 30 or something like. How could they manage 9 classes with different spells and abilities to be "kind of" balanced? only them are capable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 I hope some of the newer cards they reveal in the expansion are more interesting than the ones they've shown so far, I can't see myself using many of what they've shown so far.

Fluffy Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Not sure what cards you saw Steve, all I saw were interesting at least. Maybe its jsut that I am a bad payer and don't see the flaws :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its jsut that I am a bad payer and don't see the flaws :) The new ones that turned up in a thread today are interesting with a new mechanic http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/forum/topic/18300187918. My objections to the previously released cards is that most of them are too slow and not of value with the inspire mechanic, the above may change some of that.

Fluffy Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Teh first ones I saw were the legendary 3-4 for 3 mana and decent ability. Those are never useless nor slow.

ahydra Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 How did I not spot this thread?! I've been an avid hearthstone player since the game came out, though I've always had a tendency to yell at opponents for their endless lucky topdecks :). [if that was any of you I sincerely apologise] I play solely constructed, my favourite classes being Druid and Priest. Looking forward to messing with the new Druid cards in TGT for sure, though I hope Shaman gets some love, and also something for dragon decks. My impression of TGT cards so far is that they will shake up the arena meta far more than constructed - this may not be a bad thing though. Inspire is an interesting new mechanic but the cards that use it seem rather weak atm. ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyC Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 I take it all back, the new Joust mechanic looks really interesting and should shake up the meta a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antrax Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Playing Priest is a good way to get rage friends, especially early in the season. I usually play some stupid aggro hard counter with Deathlords and healing and occasionally people find it irritating I managed to crack their brilliant system of playing face hunter to climb ranks fast. Right now I'm running a Dragonlock I saw on reddit though, it's a fun way to pass the time waiting for TGT. BTW, have you guys seen this?

Had seen this and it might persuade me to play ladder more seriously, I've mainly been tavern brawling recently. I've been having fun with face warrior when I have played ladder, but my style is more suited to slower decks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 This Brawl is so boring. Everybody runs the exact same cards. What deck do you think everybody is playing, I meet a mixture of heroes. My major objection to it is things like druid of the claw not getting the DR which makes druid a lot less attractive.

Antrax Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Not heroes, cards. Annoy-o-tron, loot hoarder, harvest golem, piloted shredder, baron rivendale, li'l exorcist etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenG Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 BTW, have you guys seen this? The question for me is whether it will get rid of the big decks around rank 20 by encouraging them to get to a more appropriate rank, or if it will make those ranks harder by encouraging people to play ranked who normally don't.

I use only the Baron, 1 shredder and 1 harvest golem from that list IIRC in my deathrattle shaman deck that is doing fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix214 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Am I the only person who likes the new hunter 2/1 they teased?2/1 1 mana, inspire if 0 hand, and you hero power, deal additional 2 damage.The 0 hand hunter seems like a pretty interesting deck to play - but it will take some ages for it to become viable as it needs more cards to benefit from 0 hand.

Antrax Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 The question for me is whether it will get rid of the big decks around rank 20 by encouraging them to get to a more appropriate rank, or if it will make those ranks harder by encouraging people to play ranked who normally don't.We'll have to wait and see - my guess is no for two reasons:Currently people farm portraits at rank 20 (gold-farming is easiest in Tavern Brawl) so those rewards won't change their incentives (whereas discounting ranked wins at lower levels would). It seems likely the rewards will be based on peak performance (apparently people camp at certain ranks due to ladder anxiety), so if you really wanted to be an ass you could climb to rank 5 (maximum rewards according to a later twitter from Blizzard), then drop back to 20 to continue farming. As an aside, getting more people to play ladder will make it easier - it's not as though there are a lot of legend players who stopped laddering because no rewards. More likely there are people who mostly play casual/arena/TB and thus will be worse than current ladder average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 I am sill grinding the arena, got 7300 powder and 2000 coints. Sadly arena won't give TGT cards by default, so more grinding will be required. I missed a good chance for my first 12-0 on this position 14 HP shaman 6-7, 0-2(+1 spell) vs 4-2, 2-2, 1-1, 1-1, 1-1* (just summoned) 9 HP (paladin) +2 attack from seal of light. no cards on anyone's hands but my turn to hit with the paladon. about 10 cards left on each one's deck. My big creatures had been gone though. The 12-1 run gave me 2 envelopes. Though there weren't 2 evelopes anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My big creatures had been gone though. The 12-1 run gave me 2 envelopes. Though there weren't 2 evelopes anymore. Tough choice, I can only see one card where killing the 0-2 really matters and that's flametongue totem (yes it will also stop the 2 1 damage shaman spells taking out your 4/2). If you think your opp is going to draw bigger stuff than you, then clearing his board, hitting for 1 and leaving yourself 2 1/1s isn't attractive. I think I go face with all the critters and kill the (presumably totem) 0/2 with my hero taking him down to 6 and hoping he can't add 3 damage so he has to put his 6/7 into my 4/2.
