The Official Hearthstone : Heroes of Warcraft Thread

I'm just going to buy it.

I have 550 gold but decided to play arena to get my standard 1-3 wins per go so 40 dust and 100 gold back

What's your battle tags guys and I'll add perhaps we can play a few friendlies or mini tournament isn't there a site we can use?

Only play Arena once in a blue moon and have been saving the Gold since the last expansion.

Blizzard is running a "What's Next in Hearthstone" panel on March 9th, so we should find out a lot then, pretty sure they will unveil a new expansion at that point.

I'm expecting a quick release. Fri March 11th is Hearthstones 2nd Birthday and LoE was released on a Thu/Fri so I'm calling it for the end of next week.
 
When they split the ladder will we start at the same rank on both?

Is there any point ranking up at the moment?

Just won my first two games with aggro shaman was down to 6 and 3 health.... it's close calls with this deck. Anyone running at least 1 heal is going to win.

Added you joelk

got the add.
 
Random question, I never looked much into this game (I know how it works) but is it easy to get into or will I feel like I'm getting absolutely crushed every time until I learn all the possible deck/card combinations, skills and counters?

Do you have to grind a lot to get the good stuff? How does the matchmaking work?

Basically, is it going to feel like MMO where it's fine to start from 0 if you have experience from other games or like Starcraft where if you're not up to date with the latest tricks, tactics and know everything you'll just get destroyed in minutes?

Thanks

people have proved that its possible to get top ranks without spending a penny and in little time.. but..

you have a standard set of cards, you ear gold playing which you can use to open packs and get other standard cards.

since its been released there have been a number of expansions which has brought other cards.

you can play casually and just have some fun (you might be a whiz at the game anyways)

but obviously grinding it out (or paying if you prefer) will reward you with a larger choice of cards which will let you build more effective decks

I've played a few games last night actually. Only have done few first missions vs AI but it seemed quite easy. It does require some time investment to learn the cards though and it would be great to know what the opponents can bring.

Are the decks/cards you can buy with money much stronger?
What is the most versatile deck for a beginner?
I've tried to find some info online but the opinions seem very mixed and there seems to be at least 15 different decks which are supposed to be good but is there one that's perhaps more rounded up vs everyone else and has chance of winning all matchups rather than be based on luck of who you'll be going against?

Is it more worth playing AI or vs other players? Do you get better rewards for Arena over AI/quests?

Generally not really. If you are keen on taking this game seriously then you have come at a fairly good time. The new Standard format is being introduced in the next few weeks to a month which will render many of the strong cards you see now obsolete and shake the game up significantly.

Save gold, familiarise yourself with cards, learn the game - accept you will lose >2/3 of your games to begin with and chalk up to a necessity of learning card games.

As a beginner just play lots and watch streamers that explain what they're doing. You can learn a tremendous amount from watching others play and their thoughts behind doing so.

Play Ranked. If you play Casual you'll face stronger opponents. You're unlikely to make a profit in Arena until you understand the game better.

Yes agreed play ranked casual is full of really good players grinding golden portraits usually with legends like Dr Boom and/or aggressive decks. and relying on new players it's good and bad once they see you are a decent player they'll quit which is good for you since it's free gold but bad for learning.

You get that also around rank 20 in ranked but at least you have fun from 25-20 :D

The most frustrating thing about ranked is getting 2 wins then a loss as 3 wins gets you bonus stars.
 
So, I've gotten a bit into it over the weekend and have played ¬100 games, I've also completed LoE and BRM expansions but I've gotta say I don't like how much RNG is involved in this. The entire game can be decided with your starting hand and although skill and knowledge do help, it doesn't seem that relevant. It's also so much pay win to until you get to the very top it's ridiculous.

Nevertheless, it is a fun game and after 2 expansions and spending about 1000 dust (I've managed to get a legendary and disenchanted it for 1600) on a deck I found online I got quite easily to rank 17.

It does however seem that almost everyone I face is totally decked out with legendary cards and completed decks.

Can people really be that bad at the game where they're stuck at this rank with such good decks? Obviously I used to play a lot of games at a really high level but this game is pretty straight forward as you don't need fast decision making or reflexes and all it really takes is memorizing the cards and possible builds to know what your opponent can or cannot do to be able to make easy decisions.

Also, is Reno some sort of FOTM? Everyone seems to run the damn thing..
