The Official Hearthstone : Heroes of Warcraft Thread

The issue is that they seem incredibly over-tuned and would easily be a 10 on the difficulty scale. Out of around 30 games I have won a grand total of zero. Each time I appear to be doing well it feels as though the AI cheats and suddenly starts pulling out incredibly powerful cards which decimate me in just a few rounds.

Perhaps playing against players would be a different story but the issue is that in order to do that with your preferred deck, you must compete in and win the practice match against the AI...

You must be doing something seriously wrong to be doing that badly against the AI. The game seems simple but it can also be very intricate in it's mechanics. Are you holding cards back? Always going for the opponents face? If you don't control the board you won't win. Think carefully and weigh up the value of each play. Don't underestimate the basic decks as they contain 75% of the best cards anyway and have no problem smashing the AI on Expert.

HS is my first TCG/CCG. I've been playing for 5 days now, haven't spent any money, have only crafted 2 or 3 cards (which I barely use) and I mostly play ranked (grinding for gold) and had no problem getting to Diamond League with a couple of basic decks.

Played beta for a few weeks now. It is quite fun, the only issue is that you've gotta invest a lot of time or money into it to be able to build decent decks. But I guess that's is were WoW heritage comes in! :D

Good distraction but not the major release that will grab our attention for months :)
 
You think so? What screen size are you classing as "larger screens"?

I play this on my 10.6" Surface Pro 2 tablet and on my gaming rig with 27" display, think it looks great on both personally :)

Think I will be playing this for quite some time (hopefully doesn't get old too quick), play mode to get gold from wins/dailies which lets me play arena to get packs to make my play mode decks better!

Love both modes and don't have to spend a penny to build up my card collection and have lots of fun doing it. Although I did buy a pack from the store just for the legendary card you get for it :) The gold that will be converted to for the real launch will be a nice little boost too when release comes!
 
Haven't bothered with it now for 2 weeks ish, usual Blizzard polish but like all their recent offerings it's lacking that certain something to elevate it above other games.
 
Yeah it would be nice to try this game. Watching TB and playing yugioh awhile back has me interested in this especially as its aimed at newcomers to tcgs.

Signed up for beta awhile ago as most have and no key yet.
