Am I the only one who wants to reach through the screen AND STRANGLE THE LIFE OUT OF players that sit there taking their sweet time on every move.

YOU'VE GOT 1 GEM! HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CHOOSE A CARD????

Yep, its why I hope they add a new gamemode for release, like a blitz mode or something with only a 15 sec timer to choose your cards, or just put nozdormu on the board all game :p

That would be pretty cool... Although I do have the occasional turn where I genuinely do have several options and have to spend a little time deciding what to do

I find it really annoying when your opponent sits there for practically their whole turn and then plays the obvious card they should have just played right away (like say you have 5 minions with 4 or less health on the board and a mage sits there for what feels like an eternity trying to decide and then finally just flamestrikes)

nobody's ever added me to flame :(

you should have just kept saying No when he said Are you __?
 
Yeah I've had someone add me once just to rage, was funny.

What legendary should I craft? Going to DE my harrison I think, just not sure what legendary to get. http://i.imgur.com/eBul65Z.jpg Those are what I have atm. And tirion/al'akir/jaraxxus. Probably going to craft rag or sylvanas, but kinda want black knight or leeroy.

You could be given 2-3 turn extensions per game for those times when you need to think a bit.

Idiots that wait for the whole timer on the first couple of turns, grind my gears severely.
 
Chances are reported as:

* 1 rare per average 5 cards = An average of 1 rare per pack
* 1 epic per average 25 cards = An average of 1 epic per 5 packs
* 1 legendary per average 105 cards = An average of 1 legendary per 21 packs

So realistically you need to play quite a bit to see even one :( If you want to do an arena a day (lets ignore the time it takes to do this) you need to hit a minimum of 150 made up of the daily quest gold + winnings from arena + money from 3 wins so its quite a bit unless you're making 7+ wins constantly.
 
Really don't get why some people get annoyed with opponents taking time to play their turn. Sure some are prob just afk, but I know I've personally taken quite a bit of time playing a turn. Not because I am afk but because I am trying to work out possible counters and next turn plays before I do anything.

I've been watching quite a few Trump videos on Youtube and he is such a good player it is unreal. I've learned a lot watching his videos and it does show that sometimes taking that extra bit of time to think about what you are not only doing this turn but what he might do and as such line you up for your next turn. I’m certainly winning a lot more games now than I was by taking a bit more time planning rather than just spanking cards out that might deal with a situation currently but no long term play.
 
^^ Of course, but I think when people say they get annoyed it's usually because it's turn 1 or 2 and the mana limitations means your careful considerations of what the best play is must surely come down to "I have 1 mana and either a 1 cost minion to play or not"... or "I have 2 mana, so I can either play the 1 2 cost minion I have or use my hero ability"... Some opponents will sit there for the best part of 2 minutes - what are they considering?

To a lesser extent it can be true later in the game when say your opponent is on the backfoot and is simply top-decking from there on... If they have nothing on the board and 10 mana and 1 card in their hand how much can there really be to consider - play the card or don't, or use your ability...
 
Agree, people should spend their opponents turns thinking about what the possible plays are depending on what the opponent does. I'm sure many poor players think if they play really slowly then their opponent will quit and they get the win.

No one minds their opponent taking the full length if you have just posed them with a really tricky board to deal with... Its the early game stuff where they take the whole of the first turn and do nothing or something lame like use arcane missiles that is annoying.
 
I got lucky a couple of nights ago and pulled a gold Illidan from an arena pack, personally he seems fairly useless to me so I de'ed him for a load of dust :p

I have to say I am enjoying constructed more though. Getting used to knowing what to expect from certain classes and the way they play their cards. I've really been enjoying Shammy the deck I have is pretty good I think, very much a mid-game control but man it can be soooo effective especially against Murloc Zergers. I played against a pally who was using a Murloc rush deck which I thought was a bit odd I’ve not seen many pallys use it normally its warlocks. It was so funny he had his whole board full of murlocs buffed fairly well the whole time he was ignoring my totems and minions (bad move) I had a geomancer down (I really want bloodmage) a SP totem and a hand full of cards. He had zero cards and I was down to 18 HPish his murlocs would have been lethal next turn he even taunted me and gave me the well played... my turn I thought I will play this subtle pop out my Azure drake scan my cards a bit, scan his cards he is spaming me well played. I emote well played then throw out lighting storm with my +3 SP on the board, killed everything he had lol :eek: oh man I felt good. He had absolutely no come back to that and quit :D The only problem with my deck against rushers is if I don’t get a lighting storm or at the very least feral spirits or Defender of Argus to slow the rush down it snowballs very quickly and I can’t keep up.

I keep thinking of buying some packs but I seem to be doing ok without. I really would like a Bloodmage or Nat Pagle for my Shammy deck though maybe a Rag or Al'akir. Geomancer is currently replacing Bloodmage but it’s really not the same that card draw and +1SP would be so nice. Mana totem replacing Nat which to be honest isn’t a bad replacement. There is no real replacement for Rag or Al’akir but I have orges ! lol

One thing I did find strange during my Arena run last night, I was 4-1 went into a game. Game started and my opponent DC’ed when it went back to the Arena splash board it gave me a win but also a loss :( so I was then at 5-2 which I though kind of sucked. Surely it should either just void the game and go back to 4-1 or give me the win so 5-1. I did nothing wrong yet I suffer a loss because of it.
 
I actually have started to buy a few packs now (with gold, not real money :p) as I've been completing daily quests faster than I get through arena runs, and with the added gold from getting past a few rounds in the arena I have enough surplus to spare it...

Not had anything good yet in terms of rares/legendaries (coldlight oracle woohoo) but it's nice to start building up some of the decent neutral commons and things that I didn't have :)
 
Last night I thought sod it wack paid £35 for the 40 packs. I pulled some really nice cards ! Got a Tirion Fordring, Onyxia and Ragnaros which I was quite happy with on top of a bunch of other stuff. Got a gold Murloc warleader which is worth 400dust :D

I really want to make a pally deck now with my Tirion but I have to say I've never been a fan of pally and the decks. I've looked up on Hearthpwn are just stupidly expensive in terms of legendaries and other expensive cards.
 
Pally decks do tend to be expensive. If you haven't got the key Epics like Avenging Wrath and LOH you will struggle above Rank 10. Except for 2 cards this is exactly the deck I'm currently playing with. You don't need all those legendaries. Rag and Tirion are enough late game but you will need extra healing if you don't have LOH.
