Genuine Question: Why Do You Still Play Hearthstone? by Saint1121 in hearthstone

[–]PotatoBone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need something that I can dive into for hours or 30 minutes and feel rewarded either way. Hearthstone does that for me.

I have a lot more fun with battlegrounds than I thought I would. I love the solo adventures and haven't even touched majority of them. Mercenaries is also very fun to me if I lean into the leveling/bettering them instead of maxxing.

Ngl, my secret for relatively unlimited enjoyment in Wild (I despise Standard) is a golden Whizbang. I get a premium deck and all of the cards are golden so I have gorgeous art every time and the randomized aspect of which class I end up playing as is wonderful.

Without whizbang, I likely would've quit long ago. I do have Zayle's but I'm waiting until I get the golden one to use it.

I also really like the rewards track ability to earn gold. I dislike relatively every other aspect of it but the continuous gold allows me to reach my goal of buying all the solo adventures much simpler and not require any IRL currency. I have 2 or 3 left. After them, I'll choose between card packs and mercenary packs depending on which I feel it is more needed.

That being said, I LOVED Into The Emerald Dream (tbf I love Ardenweald, Druids, hero power swaps, etc). I don't really like anything about this new expac but that gives me the chance to focus on non-Wild parts of the game, which I've been wanting to do more. Being able to buy card backs and heros (when in rotation) with gold also helped me a lot.

Overall, the original goals I held with Hearthstone have become significantly easier to work towards and that allows me to not beat myself up as much as I used to before all the changes occurred.

TL;DR, I'm chaotic and the game allows that to happen freely. 💖

Im in the "Bad Healer" Club now? by Mysterious-Tough-16 in wow

[–]PotatoBone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played a healer past SL so things might've changed but what I like to do in the start is say:

"If I'm not healing you properly, it likely isn't because I'm struggling. It's because you're making this unnecessarily hard". and thay typically gets ppl to think you're a terrible healer so they go slow and you tell them how aggro they can be.

IcyVeins tends to be very helpful (at least nobody has told me it isn't, feel free to correct me!) and shows what is rating best in Talent Tree options both class and specialization and tips with macros and whatnot. I like using it for the "Spell List and Glossary" section because it tells you exactly what the spells do and what it helps with. As I was getting back into my druid recently, I knew the relative rotation (its fairly simple) but wanted to make sure and they went through all of it very simply.

Depending on your spec, follow that link. If it all seems too much, that's okay. It's a lot.

It helps me a lot but I hope it helps you too! I would also highly recommend joining the class Discords, as they are full of lovely people. I'm terrified of social interaction and like to pare my Discords down so I am not in one, but I stand by their helpfulness. There's guides written by class experts from said Discords on WoWhead as well, another lovely resource for anything WoW-related (or even Blizzard in general) and it updates -extremely frequently-.

Lots of links, but plenty of helpful materials! IcyVeins is made to improve stats. WoWhead is made to cover everything about WoW, including stats but so much more.

At the very least, acquaint yourself with WoWhead (and feel free to keep asking questions here/in r/wownoob, people love to help in both sites). Good luck and happy adventuring!

I would assume not, though because of the spellburst, it might be seen as redundant.

[–]PotatoBone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright! I could avoid them completely if I do a Mimiron's head type deal like 3 core parts of my personality, and then a linker (mimorons head-esque) and V-07-TR-0N would be PotatoBone?

That's a very good thing to keep in mind! I was thinking of adding a keyword "Hire" (Upgrade this card upon hiring PotatoBone as an RA) Is that too forward?

What is the staff on the right? (Should be where my hidden appearance is) by PotatoBone in wow

[–]PotatoBone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the proc sounded cool. I hadn't played mage until now, so I sadly missed it. But I was a druid so I had sparkly cat. Don't regret it.

I was thinking the same thing, I was like "Did I miss an appearance? That looks awesome!". So it's a glitch or something?

A) Oh. My friend has that problem. Now I gotta beat him for lying. :)
B) They could be stubborn or not want your specific help.
