man.....trump vs amnesiac. trump is really not a good rogue player
Milquetoast still being relevant is very surprising to me. Why does he get into tournaments still? He's just one of those "early worms" that got big from circumstance. The scene doesn't need him anymore and eventually quality will replace his slot. He should transition to creative streams and just play music.

I'd pay money to get my hands on a playable version of it.

Think about the facts:
7 years of development.
As late as 2010, had all of Blizzard's top devs working on it.
From Blizzard's own mouth, they "failed horrifically" with the game.
How awful does a game have to be to get canceled after 7 years of development from your top guys, and it's so incoherent, so awful, that Kaplan doubted whether the team was even capable of making a great game anymore?

Anything but that! :-O
We don't actually have any hard facts on the game and even if we did the game wasn't made so it can't even be in the running for worst made Blizzard game.
Sure if we included all Blizzard games meaning made plus unmade, sure it will be in there and you can throw in Starcraft Ghost too. Personally it makes little sense talking about games that no one in the public has seen. Maybe the game was godlike and the top people at Blizzard thought it was bad because it didn't line up with what they wanted to make (ie. Flashy and accessible games).
Wasn't there an incomplete build that was actually leaked out? I know I've seen YouTube videos of people playing it.
Wonder where Overwatch fell in Blizzard's plans.
While losing Ghosts and Titan sucks I am sure Blizzard is plenty happy with their current slate of games.
I am curious how much money Hearthstone has made them. Even I poured a ton of cash into the game over the past 2 years.

Now if only they'd announce another Diablo XPac.

The original Starcraft continues to be sold 18 years after it originally came out. As much money as I am sure Hearthstone has made, it wouldn't surprise me if Starcraft's total revenue is higher at this time.
I started today needing 25 Warrior wins for golden...
After going up against 4 Shamans in a row, all of whom had Troggs Rule into Totem Golem, I decided to switch to wild. People were playing fun decks! It was a lot of experimentation and not tempo storm garbage! Reincarnate Shaman, Mill Rogue, Bubble Secret Paladin, all kinds of craziness.
Bubble Secret Paladin interacts amusingly with Leeroy.
My homebrew N'zoth Warrior and my adapted Aggro Pirate warrior got my last 25 wins! My second golden hero!

Didn't SC2 beat SC1 in sales? Maybe I am mixing the two.

Some guy released YouTube footage of it, but never released the files or explained how he got access. The game dies with him at this point unless someone else releases it.
The download on the Abandonia website is an elaborate April Fool's Day joke
This is my favorite brawl so far. Went to 30 wins which is a lot for me. Really enjoyed being able to clear out all quests while actually enjoying the play and not having to do casual/ranked
I'm with you. This brawl was the least annoying one in a while. I keep trying to combo priest and druid to get Auchenai / tree of life combo but it's not working.

The worst thought can be unshared, the worst book can go unread, and the worst game can go unplayed. When a Blizzard executive says the game is so bad that they lost confidence in their ability to make great games, I think that says it all. Especially when they're willing to release garbage like Diablo III.

It's not a game if unreleased. As a developer there must have been games so bad they weren't even mentioned to the public, is that the worst game blizzard ever made an unnamed project that didn't get funded?
But they figured it out and D3 is actually pretty great these days. So just because they put it out in a bad state doesn't mean it is always the worst. This whole argument is silly. The best or worst of anything is always going to be subjective. What is bad for one person might not be for others.
Any deck faster than it.
I had to complete a Hunter daily and all the Shamans disappeared, everything was warriors and priests.
Midrange Hunter should be feasting on those warriors. Aggro pirate warrior beats hunter pretty consistently, but otherwise the midrange, COTW hunter is favored.
Yogg-Saron is the best thing to happen to Hearthstone. Always entertaining, can swing the game and if you lose who cares? You're not supposed to play it when you're winning, it's a last resort card. I love being in a hopeless position with an almost empty hand and Yogg clears the board, draws more cards and puts up a Christmas tree of secrets.

I've seen D3, and it looks like WoW-derivative grind shit these days. It's nothing like the quality game Diablo 2 was, or even Diablo 1. There's no atmosphere or intensity. You can't even maintain atmosphere when your screen is flooding with OMG critical for 35,252 damage!!!!! numbers flying everywhere.
D3 at this point is a very different game from D1/D2 but as it's own beast it's pretty damn good.
It's more arcadey, break neck action with big crits (you can turn these off by the way), explosions and on rail builds that helps player move from "can't do anything" to "GODLIKE" easily. Acquiring gear in D2 is hella tedious and time consuming, in D3 you can get what you want rather easily and then it's a matter of min/maxing like all loot based RPGs.
Path of Exile is the actual D2 successor though. Game is excellent and you know Blizzard will not release a game like that anytime soon. But PoE doesn't have the fluid combat feel of D3, that's where D3 is the best at.

I enjoyed this week's brawl, was a pretty good one. Hope they bring it back at some point in the future.
I was just wondering why I'd never seen Gormok in a Paladin deck. Seems like the right time for it. How is the deck working for you? Personally, I'd try one of the 3/1 Worgens in place of the Flame Juggler.
If you're playing a Yogg deck it pretty much says you're not taking it super cereal, which is fine. It was getting too much super cereal.
I don't think cutting the jugglers for another minion that dies to a whirlwind effect is correct. the deck is working out reasonably well so far, I'm not entirely sold on the divine favor honestly, I often draw many cards with my cult master and then favor becomes sort of dead.
True, this kind of deck is going to get a ton of value out of Cult Master because it usually has the initiative and can choose to trade its little garbage nonsense into a single bigger threat. If you're running Divine Favor it should be your only card draw.

You know, if I had a bot, I think I would program it to play a Divine Shield deck, but no matter what it will Equality + Pyro and wipe the board at some point, and then concede.
okay?
