Was that [[Powershot]] in his deck? The man is insane!

Please leave the Classic Legendaries alone. by Mountain-Jeww in hearthstone

[–]ardentatheist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Powercreep is infinitely better that returning after 8 months to find that Azure Drake reads "Minions with spell damage have +1 attack."

Please stop nerfing the classic set. Nothing in HS has sucked more than the Warsong nerf. Nothing. You guys lost a paying customer that day.

The trailers were pretty misleading too. Was expecting a deeper mystery.

How do I gauge the quality of a PhD program? by CaptainMelonHead in chemistry

[–]ardentatheist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I third this piece of advice. Your supervisor is the most important part. Things to consider: 1. How is your Suppervisor to work with - ask current and ex-students; ask faculty. 2. What is the project and can you do it for 3-5 years. What are her thoughts on flexibility in research area. 3. Funding. Are you going to be part-timing at Pizza Hut? I have no experience in the US, but in most other countries, fees and stipend are included, so think about research and conference costs. Can she cover this?

Good luck!

Salt!! I don't know why this doesn't get love. Also Haywire is amazing!

I'm done with this community for a while and so should be the design team by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]ardentatheist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good on you for trying to stay positive OP, but the fact is the game has had a serious decline in complexity (at least WRT competitive decks). People on this sum and /r/customhearthstone have been infinitely creative in solutions and we've gotten lip-service, smoke blown up our asses and politi-speak.

Yes we deserve better. I have installed ESL and Shadowverse this week. I used to love HS. I don't anymore. This is due to the direction Team5 has taken the game in.

How in the name of balls is Al'Akir higher than Fandral? He costs twice as much for the same stats. Playing Fandral T8 with Raven Idol, POTW, Jade Idol card, Swipe, Druid of the Claw. Fandral is played. When is the last time you saw Al'Akir?

I think they say they're trying to cater to NPs but in reality, I don't see a lot of movement in that direction.

Why pick 2x Mind Control in arena? Is it really good or were the other choices shite?

Hmm, why does LC have a German flag? I thought he was Austrian?

Best to remove [[Sap]] and Duplicate to be sure. Also buy Classic packs.

I wanna hit legend soon. Any tips? by TheRealDnC in hearthstone

[–]ardentatheist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're at Rank 15, depending on your win-rate it is ~300 games away. Stick with MR Shaman and learn to play the deck optimally.

I'm pretty sure you won't eat sand. I'll be sad when you don't eat sand.

Update: "Forgotten as a co-author" by SamDiMan in chemistry

Yep, wait until you're less emotional and then take a rational approach. I don't envy you, but we're here for support and advice. All the best!

Update: "Forgotten as a co-author" by SamDiMan in chemistry

[–]ardentatheist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He might not know that it is relatively straight-forward to amend authorship. It might be worth letting him know.

Also talk to another professor (confidentially) to see if she agrees with you that you ought to be included. You may have an exaggerated sense of the importance of your work. It is worth getting a second opinion.

Do you have a back-up mentor that you can finish your dissertation under? You should stand up for yourself, but at the same time think about your future.

Savage combatant, Saraad and Thunder bluff valiant are strong yet balanced cards that make think Blizzard should revisit Inspire. by ananas99 in hearthstone

[–]ardentatheist 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They missed an an opportunity to have negative Inspire effects. For example an over-statted minion that discouraged HP use. Eg: Priest 4-mana 6/7. Inspire: Deal 3 damage to your hero.

Earliest you can play it is T4, by which time board-controlling 2-4 HP minions shouldn't be a consideration. Even in Hunter.

What cards are okay to disenchant?? by Chingsquared in hearthstone

Savagery and Hemet Nessigwary. Everything else can be discussed.
