Re: StarCraft + Hearthstone bonus stuff
I find it odd that it's an extra thing StarCraft players get to have them try Hearthstone rather than the other way around given that StarCraft is the game being released.
I suppose it is because of the massive fanbase StarCraft still has around the world.

I never gave it a proper go because I never got into RTS games. I might try it this time.

Sorry for not answering those who added me yesterday, I went to sleep 1 hour after posting that request

The great news is that the double gold quests still carried today, and I rerolled the hunter quest replaced by a warrior one, and the new quest asked me to play 10 pirates.

No regrets

It's a skin pack for Starcraft that is used to fund Starcraft esports.

got stuck in a match that was never starting, I reset the damn client and it tried to reconnect me to that match and never started.. got stuck there for about 10 minutes before the game realized I was in a match that never started.

never happened to me before.

the worst part was that this happened right when a friend needed to complete his quest before the timeout

Is it next week yet?

this week is dry AF...
 
i dont understand why actions that significantly affect turn time take so long. jade is fun af but it's such a bummer when u have a huge auctioneer turn and have to act right away otherwise you'll lose most of your turn staring at cards shuffling, and when you complete quests, so many stupid input delays. grim patron should have made them learn their lesson, but all these miracle decks and discover cards, i hate being slowed down so much, it's such an eff you to combo decks.

playing on phone makes so much worse, much less inclined to play those types of decks bc it takes so damn long esp annoying on mobile

Got the quest for 30 Murlocs and decided to play the Shaman quest. Was pretty fun. The "summon 4 Murlocs" spell is great for it.

What do you guys think is needed to make the quest competitive?

It's playable in wild. Awesome is a sick card, crazy with send in the finishers, decks run fine without the quest tho but it gives you better control matchups

Frost Festival is live.

1 arena ticket as reward as well as the 3 arena game quest.

Also the brawl is themed after the frost festival and the Main Hub is now with snow falling

Frost Festival is pretty cool (heh heh). I like the Wow emote animation. And the brawl is fun. Now to do an arena run for the first time in forever...

An excellent solution would be to give people a total bank of time for the game, instead of 30 seconds per turn (with maybe a higher limit like 45/60 seconds).

That way, if you're roping the first turn, you will run out of your total bank, if you have a log auctioneer turn you're not going to be negatively impacted by animation time and amount of cards played.

the best solution here is to not have cards like auctioneer to make MTG-esque turns.

One of the reasons why auctioneer is almost a lock for HoF next year is precisely these extremely long and powerful turns. that shouldn't be in the first place.

Literally just hit 500 with Paladin last night using a similar deck. Doesn't always win at the top ranks but its good enough.

Also, glad i finished that friend quest last night. Managed to draft quite possibly the worst paladin ever in the history of always and had to rely on Blizzards 1 free win for sustenance. Free ungoro pack and 35 dust so basically two ungoro packs elegiggle.

So uh... the mage deck sucks in this brawl? The paladin seems far superior. I don't really understand how the mage is intended to ever win.

Mage deck seems more tricky to pilot, but it isn't that bad overall. Seems to have a decent amount of statted minions to help it control the board early game, before transitioning to a burn strategy later on. I won using a Baron Geddon + Molten Reflection combo. Kazakus and Solia help a lot in the mage deck.

Speaking of Jambre, if anyone is looking to seriously improve their game, I strongly recommend his Analyze the Pros series on youtube. He does a turn by turn break down of professional hearthstone matches and goes incredibly in depth discussing each option, their strengths and weaknesses, and what he thinks is the best play. It's a relatively new series and he doesn't seem to be on a regular schedule with them, but it's a fantastic tool to learn how you should be approaching each turn and each decision. Here's the first episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGxWrdGbgVg

He's also got an extensive deck guide for that deck uploaded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYKzGH1Sm8A

So I just had a weird glitch with ice block from Tortolan.

He couldn't prock me nor could he kill me. I just kept resetting at 1 health. The secret remained. I would have lost if not for this glitch.

Arena opponent added me as a friend just long enough to tell me to kill myself. Yay.

One told me he was going to unearth my grandmother's corpse and "have his way with her". His name was Brad#xxxx

I wish I was making this up. Actually, fuck that, I wouldn't make something like that up.

that's a glitch right now with the brawl, if you use ice block there is no way to lose, you literally cannot lose.

some people are beyond fucked up... seriously.

interesting that blizzard doesn't have a way to ban people by that attitude.

Getting friend requests from people who tell me to kill myself or that they're going to fuck my mother is one of my favorite parts of this game.

Not gonna lie, I knew what was coming and still hit "Add". I mean, he had Mana Wyrm+coin+Mirror Image opening hand, and he blew it, then he roped the last 2 turns and I said "thank you" when he conceded, so...

edit: actually I just watched the replay and it was only 1 fireball. 2 fireballs + flamestrike was another guy.

I imagine it was infuriating for him when I had 3 Potions of Madness in Arena, and one of them stole Pyros.
this is the worst feeling

not only did you remove his stuff, you also got a 6/6 and a 10/10 for him to deal with later

Man, even playing as a scumbag mage in arena makes arena infuriating if you lose to your scumbag mage opponent's superior rng.

Edit.: And just played against Constructed Hunter with perfect answers and draws for everything.
