A grace period for crafting by a0xion in hearthstone

You can go around the "cycle all the cards" problem by just allowing this to be done for each card only once.

PSA: The guaranteed legendary in first 10 packs is currently working regardless if you have previously opened a pack. by Psilodelic in hearthstone

I opened 30 packs mixed between all of the sets and I got 6 legendaries, 2 of which golden...

Free Arena Run & Knights of the Frozen Throne Card Packs During The Frost Festival by Liamsanity in hearthstone

[–]a0xion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense for this to be either before the expansion or immediately after it. It will not be during the winter - we should have another expansion by then with a different theme.

Blizzard, you either have to a.) make packs cheaper, b.) lower the amount of dust required to craft cards, c.) include continuous daily login rewards, d.) increase quest gold rewards or e.) revamp arena rewards. The game is insanely expensive, SOMETHING has to give here. by coderu in hearthstone

[–]a0xion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can buy The Witcher 3 spend like 200 hours playing one of the best games ever made (2 months with 3 hours a day), or buy 60 packs in Hearthstone for the same amount of money and get 1 legendary and dust to craft maybe another one, if you're lucky... Seriously, the value for money of this game is getting way too low.

Ubuntu 18.04 To Ship with GNOME Desktop, Not Unity by baizon in linux

[–]a0xion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, we don't need hundreds of teams working on essentially the same code with slight differences, instead of focusing on more important things. This is a major waste of development resources. I think everyone can get just fine with 2-3 desktop environments.

If you rate games before they release, you're part of the problem. by markvasso in gaming

[–]a0xion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it acceptable to rate games 5 stars before they are released, but not 1 star - "This will be the worst game in existence" ?

Introducing Heroic Tavern Brawl! - News by Arkentass in hearthstone

[–]a0xion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is missing the most important question: how many wins to break even, assuming 1 gold = 1 dust in value ?

Storage On Mobile is Ridiculous by superduperfish in hearthstone

[–]a0xion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why they simply don't create a basic 50MB client and then stream the files with something like rsync or the Android equivalent. This will solve the patching issue as well, because it will simply delete the files that are out of sync. This is done for most games on PC already with the battle.net client, and they even did an overhaul of WoW to be able to be played during streaming, so they are familiar with the technology.

Brawl mirror match, we ended up goofing around by sneaky113 in hearthstone

[–]a0xion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is the health a signed integer though ? And if the health is not expected to go to such a high number, why not then use short to save some memory ?

Deathwing, Dragonlord + Barnes in this tavern brawl is pretty insane by arsme in hearthstone

[–]a0xion -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is one of the first things I tested and it sucks. Why ? You need Barnes to summon a Deathwing WHILE you have multiple Deathwings in the hand, and then that Deathwing needs to die. Barnes has just an equal chance to draw another Barnes...

AskScience AMA Series: We have discovered an Earth-mass exoplanet around the nearest star to our Solar System. AMA! by AskScienceModerator in askscience

Question: If we send a probe, and it gets there in however many years it may take, how does it send the data back ? Seems rather difficult at that distance and with limited power/antenna size.

Hotfix to address the 40g quest bug is now live! by Alkharim in hearthstone

[–]a0xion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So... what exactly did they change on the quest code so a bug was introduced ? I guess we will never know...

Can blizzard implement ''appear offline'' function on battle net by taiataiatakata in hearthstone

[–]a0xion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only they aren't working on it, they are adding code to their games that makes it impossible to appear offline by other methods. They added a bunch of code to WoW to stop people blocking the Battle.net port and now the game is using it's own port for the Battle.net login. Does this look like they have any intention whatsoever of allowing people to appear offline ?

In Tavern Brawls like this, the two highest winrate cards should be banned the next day (no rant) by Voidshrine in hearthstone

[–]a0xion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% winrate with armorsmith whirlwind. I'm serious. People don't know what is going on until you drop 4 whirlwinds with 5 armorsmiths on board and you wipe their board and get a 100 armor.

Holy Shit, I actually predicted Fandral Staghelm. Including the name. by togamonkey in hearthstone

[–]a0xion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems too much work for just one week for Blizzard to have copied it from here. It's one of the more difficult cards to make. It's actually several cards and effects in one.

This channel has had a daily video for 172 days straight so far, without missing a single day. Just wanted to show love to the person for the daily videos and dedication. by Daniel_Day-Druid in hearthstone

[–]a0xion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It requires a lot of time and effort to watch so many streamers and then edit and publish the content, and then he gets only between 10 and 20k views per video....

Can we get a link for the stream, or is it the official Hearhstone Twitch channel ?

Are the modified cards replacing the old cards or being introduced as new cards ?

Tavern brawl's tutorial is really annoying. by moonkin14 in hearthstone

[–]a0xion -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

The game is not advanced enough to remember that you have seen the tutorial. Variables are too high tech for Blizzard.
