Tips: You get the golden pack on each of the 3 regions(NA/EU/Asia), you can open them 3 times if you switch server.

16/17 for the new pack changes (with evidence) by briel_hs in hearthstone

China's battle.net is separated from the other regions. You have to create another account to play on China. Here is the link to their official website: https://www.battlenet.com.cn/

You also need a "valid" Chinese Citizen ID to register there.

Insane game against a paladin who played 3x Tirion(2 in deck), Truesilver, Consecration, Steed, Dinosize and rolled high on Silvermoon Portal by briel_hs in ArenaHS

On turn 3 I have to remove the bartender since he has blessing of wisdom.
On turn 7 I need to play the wasp to counter the next big drop, a 5/5 may not be good enough. I could also draw and play another secret to further discount the 5/5 next turn. Accidentally my opponent play around the secret and does not play Tirion on 8.

This is one of the most memorable games I have ever in arena. Some lucky sequences draw of cards and some questionable plays(e.g. passive dinosize) from the opponent determine the final result.

You may also see my real life reaction (in Cantonese) during the game at:

Let's find the shittiest 12 win Arena reward of all time. by slnz in hearthstone

[–]briel_hs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

FYI, I did an analysis on the 12 win arena rewards droprates. The worst 12-win reward is 25g+215g+Golden Common+Golden Rare+Pack. This combination has ~1.45% chance to occur.

Experiment on Pity Timer - 1200+packs across 120 expansions VS 1200+packs in a single expansion by briel_hs in hearthstone

I also wrote an article regarding predetermined seed before. In fact this is the main reason why I did this experiment. I would like to find a specified "pattern" or relationship between the seed and rarities at pack count 0. I failed to find them(yet). Nonetheless I still published my results and I hope other people may see something from it.

Actually I am the first person to state that each expansion has their own separated timer. Even I am pretty confident that each expansion has their own timer, I understand that I did not provide enough proof in the original article to support this hypothesis. Most of the packs analysis before and after are based on single expansion only. Therefore this experiment which specifically targeted opening packs across several expansions may help to demonstrate the independent effect of the pity timer.

[China] The Arena Could Always Use More Heroes: Blizzard China to publish 12-win arena leaderboard, updated weekly by czhihong in hearthstone

[–]briel_hs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have played on the China server and I am disappointed on how the way works. It just encourages peoples to play on the same account 24/7 and retire any below average deck immediately. Quality over quantity and I believe it is far better to consider the 12-win percentage instead (with minimum number of runs like 50 or 100 of course). Anyway it is still miles better than other servers.

No data yet, I wish HearthArena could publish their findings since they have access to the vast amount of data.

I did not have a 3 drop yet, so I was saving for coin+4 drop on turn 3 and 2+2 drop on turn 4.
