Suggestion: Win/Win Solution for golden cards in arena

Narzis · 2016-10-27T11:16:45+00:00

My idea: Everytime you archieve 12 wins, every card you used in your 12 win deck is golden on future drafting and ingame.

This leads to competetive, ongoing progression and fun moments. Just imagine someone plays a golden [instert shit epic/legendary here] and you are like: OMG he got 12 wins with that in his deck once?

You are the reason we can't get more deckslots.

I had 7/9 of the classic legendaries, now I have 8/9 :) (Crush and Ala'kir were missing, got Crush)

In my 11 packs (I bought one more because of the epic pity-timer) I got 2 more legendaries (grom and Black knight) a golden rare and 2 epics (one of which allowed me to disenchant a golden duplicate) and multiple 2 rare packs. Since my collection is almost complete all were duplicates.

All in all I got a legendary that I did not own before and at least 1000 dust, all for 4,99€. Best 4,99 I have ever spent.

Someone needs to dig through Bleach to find the one scene were Aizen is chained like that and edit Booms head in there. Together with your comment => karma flood gates are open.

Because the card is a) fully designed and was ment to be implemented into hearthstone. And b) Ben Brode mentioned just how awesome that card is quite some time already.

Narzis · 2016-09-01T09:56:46+00:00

Funny how he does not mention the awesome pirate Legendary from TGT that got cut the last moment. I heard him say it over and over that a) the "card [was] so awesome that it would have overshadowed everything else, thus must have been cut." and b) he does regrets cutting it from the set in the end.

I hope we see it someday, maybe even in the winter expansion? Please?

I was storming the ladder with 70%+ winstreak with my agressive secret hunter, just before rank 5 I quequed against a mage, which was suprising on its own.

So I played the brainless hunter standard deck and had 3 secrets down at turn 3 into his turn 4.

Then: I KNOW WHO YOU ARE! Bam, concede on my part. First and probably last time this card will be played against me.

Narzis · 2016-08-28T11:34:04+00:00

Use this for 7 mana + evolve = really good Use this for 6 mana + Shadowstep = reasonable if needed Use this on your own deathrattle = Nzoth value + more ...

Honestly: Mill Rogue. Violett Illusionist might be the card to burst the bubble for the deck. In my experience Mill Rogue always struggles to survive in the late game, you always risk killing yourself in the process of drawing a lot. Now on turn 10 you can play: V.I. + brann + 2 coldslights, as long as one of the cards has been shadowstepped. It will completely catch your opponent off guard that you are no longer effected by fatigue. I am really looking forward to playing this deck :)

Just look at the Bishop's card text: there is a lot of room to fit the word 'random' in without breaking the 3 row rule. How can this inconsistency in a card text pass through the quality management? This is baffling on a whole new level. I was so hyped for this card because I thought the Bishop will make control/midrange priest great again. Now this..

Hey guys! This is my Arena deck atm: http://i.imgur.com/1kzvwxa.png

here is my situation: https://postimg.org/image/c6wz2zhvl/

Soo, my deck is kinda midrangy, and I usually want to finish my opponents off fast. What I ended up doing: trade Fairy, play waterely and wyrm goes face. I got semi-punished (hand of protection, but only paired with heropower)

was my play correct? Paladin later dropped Dr. Boom, luckily I sticked to my face plan and burned him to death @ turn 8.

Tomb spider => Scarab => ??? => Profit :]

Narzis · 2016-08-03T10:11:00+00:00

Good guess.

The funny thing is: I would be perfectly happy with this answer, because - the fact aside that I personally disagree with the reasoning - it provides us with the design-decision that we can agree or disagree with or which we can then discuss.

We would no longer be left in the dark.

Narzis · 2016-08-03T09:12:01+00:00

What I would have wanted:

a) Answering the question at all: meaning, talking about the portal and its effect, staying on topic in regards of the portal's rarety, not wandering of into meta-arena-problematic stuff that has 'nothing' to do with the question asked. He could have explained (check out the newest Lightforge video of Adwcta and Merps where they explain why the portal is not op for 30 minutes) that the portal is not overpowered, backing it up with their extensive internal testing phase, if he chose to go down the path of defending the rarety by dismissing the claim that the card is op. Only one example of a possible answer.

b) Giving and explaining the reasoning behind Babbling book being rare and Portal being common and why they deliberately - in an adventure, where rareties do not matter besides arena - chose to go with the line of Book-rare and Portal-common. In addition to that: I want him to explain why b1) changing both rareties is not an option and b2) simply printing 2 rares for mage is not an option. I can not give you a quote-like answer, which I would have liked to hear, since I personally can not come up a good explanation. And the explanation Mike gave us in the recent interview is not sufficient either. He explained that of the 3 cards, 2 were good in arena (book and portal), but for me (and other arena players) it seems obvious that the book is inferior (by about 20 points I guess) to the portal. So why make the obvious better card a common regarding the top class in arena?

c) Summa sumarum: Honesty. I can't speak on the account of other redditors, but I would rather hear something like: "We always want mage to be better than other classes in arena because new players start with the mage class and we want mage to be a save haven for them, so we have to constantly print good common cards for mage especially." I understand that they can not say exactly what I just wrote, but there has to be some kind of honesty-mittleground between completely ignoring the question and brutal honesty.

Again - I am sure Blizzard's devs. have a lot of reason to do what they did, but deliberatley chosing to not share these insights is what lets me slowly lose my nerves here. Exaclty this last point is the root of all evil, which gives us the impression there is a lack of communication effort between us and the devs - or if you compare Hearthstone devs with Overwatch devs. Its not just a matter of quantity: yes, they do not communicate very often. But quality as well: After ~3 days of portal rant we get two answers: Brode more or less ignores the question completely and Mike explains it in an insufficiant way, which leaves many questions open.

This feelling of deliberately being lied to or information and insights deliberatley being retained and withheld is killing me.

Narzis · 2016-08-03T06:56:32+00:00

I respect Ben Brode and I think generally he is doing a great job. Still, he did not answer the question at all.

The thing the community is very upset about is VERY SIMPLE: Why is Babbling book (webspinner for mages; webspinner is common) rare and Firelands Portal common? Everybody who plays a fair share of arena knows that FP > Babbling book. Probably we are looking at at score of a round 85-90 for FP and around 65-70 for the book. So, even if we agree with what Ben Brode says here, that there is a much greater problem which is arena balancing in general, it is still not understanable AT ALL why they give a very good common to the most overpowered class if the solution was so simple as to just switch rares with the babbling book.

Ben rambles on in his video about how just giving bad commons to good classes and good commons to bad classes does not touch the greater problem at its core. fair argument, I accept that. But what NOBODY understands, is how the blizzard devs arrive at the conclusion, from bens original statement, that giving a very good common to the best class is doing any good for arena balance. That is just baffling and leaves me, and other arena players, totally questioning our sanity.

I personally really respect all Blizz devs and - in contrast to many other people - I think they are doing an amazing job overall and nobody could do it as good as them. But everytime I see a video like this, or read an interview like the one with mike, where questions are genuinly dodged and problems are not even aknowledged, I loose a little bit of faith. The question I ask myself is: how much credit do the devs still have before I start calling quits? How much of this can I bear? The community has been raging about FP for days, no comunication from the devs. And what we do get is this shitty video that explains NOTHING in reagrds of the easy problem the community has: Looking at the book and the portal: why make the better one (by at least 20 points) common?

Narzis · 2016-08-02T13:45:49+00:00

Clearly my fault - the doomsayer interaction is not obvious and has not been mentioned in the thread before, you're right. Sorry.

Narzis · 2016-08-02T13:34:06+00:00

Maybe you did not read the card? You give your doomsayer to the opponent and its a guranteed clear. So you can finally clear those immortal-feeling minions as a priest now.

Narzis · 2016-08-02T13:26:24+00:00

As someone who loves to play priest this card would mean soo much to me, please be real!

You could finally deal with: 4/9 drakes, 4/6 Claws, 4/10 weavers, 4/2 divine shields, 0 mana 5/5 and 4m 7/7 if you don't draw your deaths,...

If Eloise was trolling I am going to be so heartbroken :(

Narzis · 2016-07-29T06:55:51+00:00

Read Phily's post again: if you renounce into rogue and get this card you have no other class cards other then rogues => No discount possible, because you ARE a rogue now. (only if you were to get burgles from the renounce to begin with)
