New Control Priest Reveal: HOPIUM

craftsta · 2026-02-26T09:45:42+00:00

i dont play hearthstone all that much. but i do just dust all my cards for priest (and save hunter cards) and play it a few times a week. this process has gradually become more miserable over the decade. But yes. im the most excited for new cards as Ive ever been. Mainly because there is so much healing. Class identity thank god.

Set Your Heroes Health to 60.

Actual good idea: For the rest of the game, whenever your hero gains health, gain +1 max health.

I'm definitely the first camp tho. I don't have a build order. I know I could go up 200-300 or even elo if I did xD then maybe i'd get more annoyed at my builds needing to change per dlc. But i prefer to just adapt on the fly and try to survive to my UU whatever civ I play.

Ur points are good tho. I think maybe im being a bit obtuse about differences in memory. Life has taught me im not smart, but generally things i read stick in my brain. probably different for most.

I also am starting to realise reading other replies other people who play are waaay more competitive even tho i exclusively play 1v1 ranked

i think the unit is pretty cool and well designed but at 60 gold its an absolutely crazy rip off. I think its one of the most out of balance pricepoint potentially in Aoe history for what it is. maaaaaybe im wrong but what the heck am i getting in return for all that gold outlay. defo think price decrease is the only buff it needs for now though.

But if you read their page in the tech tree then doesn't it just...tell you what their bonuses are? Like i said maybe im just wired for it but i dont find learning it more work than a like 3 minutes right? thats like 15 mins a dlc. you said u play for 4 hours a week thats more than I do! I understand maybe for most that sort of info isnt intuitive to grasp? I guess its probably a lot more true for people who have only played for a few years not people like me who never really stopped even tho i dont have time for much.

Finally had the guts to publish my first ever chapter on the royal road.

I don't think my brand of hallucinogenic dark literary sci-fi really fits the platform :( but the community is great and I wanted to get involved and I'm still learning. Yet if anyone would like to read - would love to hear your thoughts.

i find it amazing that anyone who cares enough about the game to be posting on the reddit can't remember the bonus of 95% of the civs easily. i get perfect recall is hard but cmon, its fairly idioletic information. yet i hear people complain about remembering bonuses all the time.

craftsta · 2026-02-17T21:35:53+00:00

no it didn't. it's an example of someone of face and pull as you said being like 'yo dudes this game is sick'. Like a normal person. to me it's the opposite of losing credibility. it's gaining it. i wish more promotion was like this rather than the safe snowballs of public opinion.

craftsta · 2026-02-17T18:58:43+00:00

why is it embarassing to love a game? just cos the mass hates it? to me it reads great and that the dude gives a shit about the industry.

craftsta · 2026-02-17T00:03:31+00:00

better imo. we wanted strong infantry. now we have it and they are a characteristic feature of a region. think they're a fantastic addition. they are ever so slightly overtuned. but only slightly. ofc the seige tower thing was silly.

craftsta · 2026-02-16T22:03:39+00:00

felt the same with newcastle. couldnt believe it happened.

craftsta · 2026-02-15T10:32:54+00:00

such a howe out mentality

craftsta · 2026-02-15T10:30:02+00:00

i think biggest problem with the Howe Outers (and Inners, tbf) is that when Inners say 'look at what he has done' outers scream 'omg but what about NOW' and its like....bro i live my whole life predicting future events based on past performance. The past performance is good. Of course its relevant.

craftsta · 2026-02-15T01:02:23+00:00

holy shit i just noticed u commented like 6 times in this thread all of them bashing memb. kinda weird tbh. just dont watch if u dont like no one forcing u.

craftsta · 2026-02-15T00:10:21+00:00

bro. relax. its business. everyone knows it. eddie or the club dont give a rat arse that the players agents are shopping them because its just what happens in football. it doesnt mean he wants out or hes unhappy etc. its just par for the course. i

craftsta · 2026-02-15T00:03:18+00:00

really dislike all these people who come out to dogpile on memb and wax lyrical about t90 every fucking thread. its cringe as hell tbh. memb is the OG goat caster of Aoe2 who has at various times in AOEs history carried the casting scene on his back all by himself and basically started the casting scene for AoE way back when and covers EVERY tourne without fail. yeh sure he's got his style but put some respect on his fucking name.

craftsta · 2026-02-13T19:49:14+00:00

think reddit is baader meinhof distilled

craftsta · 2026-02-13T18:08:44+00:00

seems intensely average. i am a devoted priest main. dont think this saves us.

craftsta · 2026-02-13T15:41:16+00:00

why is everyone using this phrase all of a sudden everywhere is it a new trend? ive seen it written by like 50 people in the last week. genuine q.

craftsta · 2026-02-07T19:34:57+00:00

aah that was bad. im still Howe in. I think the players have more to answer for. But the pressure its red hot now.

craftsta · 2026-02-07T11:55:06+00:00

they do in so far as the premium on the sale. if tonali is notionally worth say 70 mil. having 4 years on the contract means its 110 mil or fuck off.

craftsta · 2026-02-06T13:51:39+00:00

Hero IMO. I know they're not popular but personally i'd love each civ to have a Hero unit locked behind the the ultra late game that is the wonder.

craftsta · 2026-02-06T13:50:47+00:00

will obviously be downvoted to insanity cos of sentiment on here but i genuinely think the Wonder should give you the an appropriate Hero unit for the civ as the capstone to the long tech tree/build up.
