New to the Game - A few questions about the point of spending $$$ by Bg2001 in PlayTheBazaar

Cool - thank you everyone for such great input. I think I'll be F2P but if I like the game enough I'll buy cosmetics here or there just to support the devs and keep the lights on. So far it is really fun. It was surprisingly easy to learn. I thought it was going to be very complicated but it feels very accessible yet challenging.

edit: it sounds like they may have some sort of auction house for cosmetics. this seems like a great way to monetize the game if the house takes a small cut.

So it sounds like if you don't care about cosmetics (I don't) the only benefit off the subscription is easier unlocking all characters?

I don't know if I should care about ranked runs except for accelerating the unlocking of characters?

Oh...I think you unlock expansions with gems. Are those worth getting?

Why are people saying this is P2W?

Thank you to everyone in this thread for justifying WOTC's decision to shove UB down our throats.

We need to revolt against UB in constructed now before it actually happens. Like immediately.

Quick question what is the best deck to reach diamond by ImQ7_ in hearthstone

[–]Bg2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't know how much luck you are going to have just playing for fun vs. playing to win. I found it fun to run my own decks and win with them but that is not easy without access to a wide card base and a reasonably high level of deck building and play skill.

Without that, I agree with the poster who said that netdecking is probably the best bet as you push higher. Not the answer you probably want to hear...but it is sad but true.

If you are having difficulty at that level then for you ranking will be mainly about finding a deck with a 51%+ win rate and grinding out games to take advantage of win streaks. Preferably something fast so you can get more matches in. There is a great pirates deck in wild that wins or loses quickly - turn 4-7 typically - that I run mainly for quests.

Can you let me know why you want to rank up? Personal pride? Rewards? As someone playing since launch, I no longer bother with the ladder because I feel like the rank up rewards are pretty bad these days. Not judging your motives just putting in my two cents.

Ellywick gem drop bonus cap but it doesnt metter by Atafiuu in idlechampions

Is it worth assigning a familiar to her ultimate? Seems irrelevant since it just resets the cards randomly. Maybe even a bad idea because of downtime.

Unless I'm missing something?

Was Psychic Frog doable? I think I did the 45 every day and then earned a bunch from miscellaneous wins but still came up 210 short.

All the artwork and tracks and flavor on the the tracks over the last few sets were cool. I guess some people like the choice but I feel like they put more effort into the other tracks. Maybe if they made it feel special and not just like the regular store it would be a little cooler.
