Cheating out big minions and why it's unhealthy for a game like Hearthstone

Posted: 13 Mar 2018 05:46 PM PDT

Let me preface this post by saying that I love Hearthstone. It's a damn fun game, and this wouldn't be my fourth year of playing it if I didn't really enjoy it. In fact, it's because of my love for the game that I want to voice my concerns about it.

 

However, with Kobolds and Catacombs reaching the end of its meta, and a new rotation on the horizon, I'd like to voice my personal concerns about the direction card design has been moving in lately. More and more, cards have become about how to cheat out the most ridiculous possible minions in as short a time frame as possible. Cards like Spiteful Summoner, Skull of the Man'ari, Possessed Lackey, and Call to Arms are all huge offenders of this design principle. And although one might argue that it forces the player to "build their deck in a unique way," cards in the past like Keleseth and his subsequent ubiquity show that it's not much of a sacrifice.

 

What's worse about these cards is the little amount of counterplay that they offer. Vomiting out the most amount of stats for the least amount of mana isn't terribly engaging, and doesn't allow for the person playing against them to really react unless they have the perfect response of AoE/Hard Removal/Weapon Removal/Silence. To make matters worse, it's not terribly engaging for the person playing the card. It's almost never a choice of whether to not play Call to Arms on turn 4, or Spiteful on turn 6.

 

This trend is only worsened by the fact that it inherently creates power creep within the game. If the designers want to make sure that these cards aren't always in every single one of their respective decks, then they need to print cards that can vomit out even more stats, which just worsens the problem.

 

Obviously I'm not a game designer, and I have no idea how I would fix this. All I'm hoping for is that Blizzard is aware of this trend and is able to avoid making similar design choices.

Witchwood is the first expansion in almost 3 years to not have 6 syllable in its name

Posted: 13 Mar 2018 01:56 PM PDT

Something I notice this time around is that this expansion does not have 6 syllable, apparently the last expansion that didn't have six syllable was The Grand Tournament. Since then every expansion/adventure has 6 syllable and now witchwood broke that streak. Its not something big but I think it's really neats

Echo is a good way of making odd-cost cards playable on even mana turns in a Baku the Mooneater deck.

Posted: 13 Mar 2018 07:29 AM PDT

I've been theory-crafting decks for both Standard and Wild using the two cool new legendaries Genn Greymane and Baku the Mooneater. Regarding the latter, i've been trying to come up with creative ways to fill in the even mana turns and "echo" seems to be the perfect way. The 3 mana Phantom Milita can be played on turn 6 etc, i've not seen anyone else mention this anywhere and it seems like a massive opportunity for echo cards to be meta defining. I for one cannot wait to see what the other echo cards are like!

Hearthstone just got significantly less expensive

Posted: 13 Mar 2018 09:45 AM PDT

...and it's like the subreddit has failed to notice.

Seriously, Ever since Journey to Un'Goro we've been hearing about how two class legendaries makes the game so expensive.

"How can I possibly have fun or stay competitive with so many cards that are potentially good?" cane shaking for good measure "Back in my day, you'd craft a single class legendary and play a few neutrals, but now the neutrals are all meme cards and you need two class legendaries! How will I stay viable?" - Reddit

My point is, now that the bundle has increased to 70 packs for $50 (USD), the game is totally playable for $50! Where is the confetti? Where are the shitposts about how cheap the game has become?

How do I define cheap? Well, based on my own experience, you can enjoy the hell out of this game for 100 launch-packs per expansion. Will you have a complete collection? No. Will you have a complete golden collection? Never. But if that's what your after, then you have committed to a very expensive goal. Literally anything where you have to try and collect one of everything (except Pokemon) is insanely expensive.

My own experience with Hearthstone: I am a very active F2P player, I do my dailies, I help friends with their play-a-friend quests, and I scoop up any packs that come my way (choose your champion, oops we broke the game for a day - here's 3 packs, etc.). As a practice, I crack 100 packs of each set at the release, and then mop up any other packs that float my way. See below for pack opening history over the last 5 sets:

https://imgur.com/9Y3itkf

I've been told that grinding 10,000 gold (for 100 packs) over the course of 4 months (120 days) means playing "more than casual" and, frankly, you're probably right. But now...with 70 packs costing $50, you can hit that same gold for fifty bucks and 3,000 gold, which should sound reasonable to anyone who's even remotely interested in playing this game regularly. If you're not playing regularly, then you're probably not shaking your cane about the cost.

Sure, there are some legendaries that are missing from my collection, but if you dust smart and optimize your quests, you can very comfortably live on nearly infinite dust through the entire rotation.

Despite the fact that I've got ~6k gold banked for the next expansion I am seriously considering doing a pre-order for the first time. Can someone please pat Blizzard on the back for making the game cheaper?

EDIT: One thing to add here - I'm not saying that the game is cheap. It's not. All I'm saying is that it just got cheaper. If you're saying the game is "too expensive" then the assumption is that you're putting some money into it, otherwise, it's not expensive - it's free. So, if your response to this post is something to the effect of "I'm not spending a nickel on this game," then your point is moot.

TL;DR You only need 100 packs at launch to enjoy hearthstone. In order to get 100 packs at launch as a non-F2P player, you previously had to spend $110 (USD) - $50 for a pre-order and $60 for another 50 packs. Now, you can spend $50! you get 70 packs at launch + whatever they give away for free - call it 5 packs to be conservative, and anyone should be able to farm 2500 gold. The cost of the game is literally cut in half. Throw Blizz a parade.

Can we have rules enforcement of low effort content regarding all the arena posts?

Posted: 13 Mar 2018 11:07 AM PDT

Pretty much every other post is a screen shot of someone's great or crappy arena picks. We get it, arena changed. Recently the mods made a big deal about low effort content and most of these posts seem to meet that definition. Is there any comment from the moderation team about this? Maybe we can get a megathread like the pack opening thread?

Hearthstone App Size Decreased

Posted: 13 Mar 2018 07:15 PM PDT

For me Hearthstone app size went down for once, more than 1/2 a GB. It is back under 3 GB now as it had been creeping up a lot recently. I'm on iOS.

If you use your threaten emote, and attack with a weapon right before she says "pay," she will instead say "you will burn for that, cur!"

Just thought I'd share
