Is there an |OT| for the new adventure?
They retracted even that "time frame" during a blizzcon panel.

someone will change the title to reflect it I'm sure
That's fucking hilarious.

Oh god this Heartharena drama is pretty delicious. Im just glad Merps is staying out of it and its just ADWCTA acting like he got robbed.
This happens to me from time to time on mobile and I kill the app and reload it and I get the quest.
Thats gonna spice when people start using Elize Starbreeze as tech. I think people undervaluate that card in decks that usually go to fatigue. When I play CW mirror I usually finish the game with a crapload of garbage in my hand (2xBrawl, shield block, acolyte, armorsmith,...) Fatigue is a great timing to drop the Monkey.

Yep this works. Weird I've never experienced it once before.

Yep. The match at Seatstory Cup:
Went to the bathroom at Turn 13 or something, took a dump, played a few levels of super meat boy on my vita and when I came back they were still playing!
Yeah, ADWCTA is not coming off looking great here. Yeah, you put a lot of hours into evaluating cards and their value and synergies. But you did that of your own accord, knowing you had agreed to just a 20% profit split. To then turn around and demand equity in the whole project comes off as a little presumptuous. And then to go whining to Reddit about it when your partner says no? That's very unprofessional.
And, correct me if I'm wrong, this "algorithm" that ADWCTA developed, it's not actually an algorithm at all? It's just a bunch of independent card values that change depending on what is currently in your deck and where you are in the draft process. The programmer still had to take those raw values and program an algorithm that evaluates your draft and spits them out correctly? At least, that's the way I read it. That seems like work that requires a much higher skillset than what ADWCTA is bringing to the table.
I don't know, as a developer myself, I've seen this so many times. No one seems to understand how much work, effort and knowledge it takes to actually build applications like these. ADWCTA seems to be writing this guy's contributions off as if they are nothing.
That's what I got out of the programmers post as well. He did the algorithm while ADWCTA tuned the weighting.
Yeah I already am planning to put Elize in my CW deck. My current list is running two Senjins and I am going to replace one with her. I also run Varian for the late game and potentially getting out a 6/6 taunt for free seems nice (Varian is really good when it spits out taunt minions or Grom/Ysera, which is why I run 2 Senjins and 2 Belchers with it).
And now ADWCTA is trying to burn the whole thing down because he didn't get his way. Sucks when this kind of stuff gets aired out in public.

So is Heartharena gonna die or something? I'm sort of confused. Basically ADWCTA makes 20% of the profits from the website and the programmer makes 80%?

beat the first wing with dragon priest. Wasnt too bad. Was pretty close on the last one.
Just crushed the genie with my rogue mech deck
Until it turns your hand into all Pat Nagles. I think the real value in that situation might be just waiting til your opponent is taking heavy fatigue then drop Elise....then you get a fatigue free turn. Seems like a waste of a deck slot unless the meta is like all CW. There are a lot of bad legendaries.
The adventure has barely been out 30 min. We should have an idea of how good they are in a few days though.
A lot of people are probably going to be running Freeze Mage with Torch and Reno Jackson.
I also expect a decent amount of Hunters running explorer's hat.
Get your Kezan mystics ready folks.

i discovered onyxia and mogor the ogre even though I didnt use them
Yeah they kept giving me oil and the exact stuff I needed. Was so nice.
Probably not? If you believe the programmer's side of the story, really all they need is another "pro" tier Arena player to come in and do some analysis and continue to weigh cards and their values as needed, and functionally the site can keep going.
If you believe ADWCTA's side of the story the programmer is a potato who can't spell Hearthstone let alone play it, and no one could possibly do the same work that he did when he was there. On top of this, his post really seemed like an attempt to burn it all down when he couldn't get his way.
Like yeah it sucks that you agreed to such a small cut of the profits from the get go, but waiting until AFTER it's a success to then step in and say "You know what, I think I deserve more of this than I agreed to", it's well within the programmers' rights to say "Too bad".
The first wing was always a pushover.
The programmer fellow will definitely find another player or two to help him out out in their absence. It's too bad it had to go that way, but I'm sure there will be others who are willing to step up.

You guys on mobile. To purchase the adventure with gold don't go to the shop, go to the adventure itself and it will let you unlock from there with gold.
It was pretty easy on normal by the way. Breezed my way through it with dragon priest.

Beat the genie with my Rogue Pirate deck.
AI on second wing is broken, it keeps playing taunt givers THEN a minion lol.
Put Reno in my oil rogue deck, I didn't get to play it because the warrior guy conceded and I had 3 card left, I wasn't tracking but pretty sure no duplicates in there and Reno never lit up. I guess it doesn't light up lol
Production values are pretty high for this adventure, it looks great, it sounds great but damn this was so easy, I didn't even build a deck for it, just q in blindly with aggro paly lol.

they were asked if it would light up if there prereq was met, but I believe the team said no or didnt want it to
