[ViviOggi]

Huh?

Expose Blizzard. Sry I talk to too many ex-popGAFfers

 

[Yaboosh]

Lifecoach exposed the fact that playing hearthstone 12 hours a day for months and months and months can get to be unpleasant.

 

[fertygo]

[fertygo]

Where did you hear that?

there's maintenance notification, so I assuming..

 

[Dahbomb]

Ah I see. Yeah that sounds about right then. Patch should be live sometime in the morning of Monday here in NA.

Same thing happened with Undertaker.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

They did say the nerf before the end of the month.

Same thing happened with Undertaker.

I remember that. I hit legend with my homebrew control paladin that month iirc.

 

[luoapp]

Same thing happened with Undertaker.

That means they do have the capability to change the stats on the server side without pushing out a client patch. The TECHNOLOGY has been with us all along.

No, they had to patch it for Undertaker too. This is going to be a patch as well because it will be including the Arena changes as well along with other stuff (probably the next set of Tavern Brawls).

 

[Drkirby]

Don't forget the Un'goro preorder, looks like they are going to announce it tomorrow.

 

[MThanded]

wrong thread.

 

[Glass Shark]

the constant rollercoaster of ladder is making me lose my mind, hopefully Ranked floors will bring some sanity to my life

 

[ZealousD]

Somebody actually commented on my video "Solia only shows up in Reno Mage".

Uhhhhhh.....

 

[fertygo]

BREAKING NEWS:

Card Leak?

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/CZL3glU.png[/IMG]

Apparently you get it through a new quest mechanic in-game. I called this months ago.

Fake or not. I think it'd be a cool concept. Found my post from March 2016:

Seeing as how Discover was well received, somewhere down the road, I could see them expanding it with a meta gaming angle.

"Discover a Quest"

Quests would be conditions you meet in a game after playing the card that gave you the quest.

They could be things like:
"Destroy three minions in one turn",
"Play five cards in a turn",
"Survive for 5 turns",
"Empty your hand",
"Have four taunts on your side",
Etc.

The rewards could depend on the quest or be determined by the quest giving card. You could get a coin, discover a card, destroy a minion, heal, etc.


I feel like this sort of metagaming is inevitable as a lot of established card games tend to add something like it.

It would tend to be a slow strategy, but could be tweaked. I think it could bring another interesting angle to games. They could even do a promo card that gave you dust or gold as its quest reward if played in standard.

Anyone else think this would be fun?

Card Leak?

I would not trust any card "leaks" right now. We usually get a group of fake/blurry/off screen card "leaks" before expansion time.

And I just read that card effect.... yeah that is 200% fake. That's the most powerful card in the game. Unless it's like a Guardian that you get from White Eyes where it's actually part of another, weaker card.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

5 mana 8/8 with a ridiculously broken effect? Yeah, clearly fake.

Supposedly, you get this card in hand by completing a Quest that some other card will give you.

 

[Tagyhag]

While an in-game quest mechanic sounds cool in theory, I could NEVER see it working in a game like Hearthstone.

Because either A) They don't want Hearthstone to be a complex game, and that's too much for beginners to think about and B) You'll be long dead before you finish that quest.

 

[bjaelke]

Elise is essentially a questline that rewards you with legendaries.

So basically like Elise.

I much prefer the final result to be this card versus the Monkey which turns end game control match ups into a clown fiesta.

 

[Drkirby]

Come on, there is no way thats real. There is zero downside.

Unless you are saying its another White Eyes/Storm Guardian deal. Than I could see it.

Edit: Ok, reddit is saying you play a card, the card gives you task of some sort (Play 5 Priest Cards, use your hero power 5 times, something like that), and once you complete the task, you get OP cards added to your hand.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Even still, that card alone seems pretty broken.

The requirements would have to be extremely steep I'd think.

I guess if that card ends up becoming a thing then Alexstrasza probably becomes quite a bit more relevant.

 

[charlequin]

Yeah this is thoroughly believable as a token created by something else (or an Adventure-exclusive card) but hardly as a deckable one.

 

[bjaelke]

Posted on a fresh Reddit account with a link to Imgur and no original source.

 

[Pooya]

so it's like white eyes if true. Eh, whatever.

 

[fertygo]

that card basically reno re-print

fake

 

[BananasWithGuns]

I mean, they say it's going to be announced Monday so we'll find out soon enough.

Also, just spit balling but, since it's name is "Warden of Hope" maybe each class will get a Warden with a similar mechanic. Assuming it's even true of course.

 

[squidyj]

has power level that screams "i'm a token"
has a golden legendary icon in the middle of the card
:thinking:

i forgot about that lol

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

That seems like someone's fevered dream of a card.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

I hope that's not real.

 

[Pooya]

well, yeah. they're removing all the burst damage in the game and print that shit at the same time? It would be doubling down on current problems, your deck either wins in 5 turns or it's a reno deck, or infinite jades, just extremes and nothing flexible in between.

 

[Lyng]

Shaman will still be beyond broken after the patch

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

I don't even like the pirate opener much in midrange Shaman, gotta run it but it makes for awkward draws.

 

[Pooya]

shaman is going to be broken after rotation even unless new cards powercreep over their existing class cards... which is probably Blizzard's solution to shaman....

 

[scarlet]

Any exact time for dinosaurs announcement?

 

[Jadax]

If that 'upgraded reno' card turns out to be legit then the upcoming expansion is going to be the stupidest thing ever.

 

[ZealousD]

That card looks like the kind of shit some priest player came to in a wet dream.

This stuff is easy as hell to fake guys. Don't believe any leaks.

 

[Tacitus_]

just needs more jpeg

 

[Glass Shark]

I'm thinking fake. Nothing in the game currrently lets you have over 30 Health, and I don't really see a reason for them to start that now. Also, even though the card image is super blurry, there doesn't appear to be a set symbol behind the card text. Even a token would have that.

 

[sibarraz]

Alextrasa counterpick that card hard. Literally unplayable

 

[Glass Shark]

Is it just me, or did that reddit thread just get deleted?

Looks like it's gone.

🤔

 

[ZealousD]

I've seen fake leaks that used a video. I've seen fake leaks that threw in vanilla taunt minions that barely looked like passable arena cards. There have also been real leaks, but sometimes there's no way to separate leaks that are real from those that are fake. And I don't even think we've had legit leaks since GvG. Better to ignore all the so-called "leaks" and assume that they're all fake.
