The Official Hearthstone : Heroes of Warcraft Thread

seems to run as smooth if not smoother on my nexus 5 as it does on my ipad mini

It's on Google play now, downloaded to my 2012 nexus and will report how it plays tonight. Apparently it struggles at times but easily playable.

How am I supposed to beat Lonewalker Cho in the starting games

If I remember the tutorial correctly, Lorewalker Cho goes plays a spell that makes him "invulnerable" until you kill one of his minions.

Very easy to get into but as the collection is at ~500 cards you'll need to invest either a lot of time or money to get to a competitive level.

This is true but you can have loads of fun with the ftp decks you can get to 15 with them if you watch a few videos

I might end up buying an andriod tablet to play it now seeing as I never get on the surface

get the nexus 9

ive only heard good things about that.

£300 + quid though right? Expensive for a hearthstone console

It would literally only be used for Hearthstone, so a little extravagant

 

[joelk2]

yeh i suppose when you look at it that way.

nexus 7's are cheaper.

run it on your phone??

Its big enough xD I'm happy to wait for the offical release TBH, I can play at work on my works PC anyway

 

[qotsa]

Got it running on my phone Plays pretty damn well too. Hearthstone everywhere!

 

[MooMoo444]

How easy is it to select certain cards and stuff?

I'd imagine it would be pretty hard with a 10 card hand on a phone screen etc?

 

[joelk2]

ive not found it to be that bad on the phone. not made any mistakes yet. played handlock deck so had quite a lot of cards in hand.

Well you do have to pay a bit more attention to make sure you're picking up the right card but it's not that difficult. Haven't made any errors after 4 games.

Install via the apk / obb method.
This is the APK, manually slap it somewhere on your device and then run it. https://mega.co.nz/#!MARTBTpK!egstWwCODIHEQ1O15kgkuUw5woPLixrJBStRZaXa60E
You will then need the obbs (there are 2 - do not forget both) https://mega.co.nz/#F!n151CTDK!wDWkQITqP2y0_bn6h2Z2yw - put the obbs in /sdcard/Android/obb/com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone. This directory will only exist once you have run the APK.

Then run the app, it will do a one time setup and then work

I've tried to do this on my Galaxy S4 but when I run the app it attempts to download additional files and just fails. The OBB folder is in my phone storage and not my SD storage for some reason.

 

[Drake5]

I got it to install but it says it only works on tablets 6" or larger. Isn't it possible to get around the size limits?

Snipped relevant parts for you :

I just followed this :

Step 3: Install Xposed then reboot as directed http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
Step 6: In app settings, Set DPI to 216 and resolution to 1600x1000, and check the xlarge res. box http://i.imgur.com/flmqorl.png

YOU DONT NEED TO ROOT YOUR PHONE.

i have an unrooted nexus 5 running lollypop.

xposed you need root plus it doesnt work on lollypop.



https://mega.co.nz/#!kt1GGAaS!zdCoNXHXyYJCUWHVeDSOPHW6W-xkT7AmISn55OIPOvs

this has the modified apk file.

you need 3 files.

extract from reddit.

Google Chrome users, you'll need to go to your downloads and "restore" it as chrome removes .APK downloads by default.
Extract using 7zip/winrar (please start using 7zip, it's so much better)
Set your phone to accept apps from unknown sources. (settings>security)
Copy the APK and folder to \Phone\Android\obb. (Make sure it's the phone, not a memory card.)
Should look like:
\Phone\Android\obb\com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone\xxx.OBB
\Phone\Android\obb\com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone\xxx.OBB
\Phone\Android\obb\xxx.APK
Find the folder on your phone using the "My folders" app or equivalent and run the .apk
