All hail to our new overlord, the uber powerful RENO JACKSON!

 

[Revenant]

Just play fast men. Reno Jackson is useless if the opponent is dead before turn 6!

Classic Blizzard fail:

Just playing an Unearthed Raptor apparently has a chance to disconnect your opponent for a free win. They had to come up with something to make Rogue viable again, but this is going too far.

 

[FeelTheRads]

So, that's why I got disconnected and lost that arena game against a rogue today, it happened right after he played the raptor.
Thanks Blizzard, I'll get back to just playing the brawls for free packs.

 

[Revenant]

The raptor always wins men

They hotfixed it the other day.

 

[FeelTheRads]

As I understand they hotfixed another bug related to the raptor and cards like Brann and Shadowstep. This one is still in and supposedly can't be hotfixed and must wait for a patch.

L O L

Just more evidence that Brode and his dev team are in way over their heads. At least they had some foresight and self-awareness when they announced there wouldn't be a new wing this week because of Thanksgiving. They know that there's a high probability of the game breaking when new cards are released and having it happen over a holiday break would be a catastrophic PR nightmare for them.

This Unearthed Raptor bug has to be the worst so far, right? Has any bug in the past caused the game to crash?

 

[FeelTheRads]

I read there was a bug with Tracking that was kinda similar to this one, but I don't know the details.
Regardless, it shows how much playtesting they actually do. I mean, fuck, if you did any sort of reasonable playtesting with the cards you create you would find bugs like these that cause disconnects and crashes, right? Instead it seems that, similar to how the game works, they throw in some random numbers and hope they stick. This is how you come with up with retarded shit like Mysterious Dr. Boom.

This is correct. There was another retarded bug with Raptor that could crash the game if you stack too many deathrattles on him which was apparently hotfixed. The one where it disconnects your opponent when you play it is still in the game.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Btw, how the hell would that work with Shadowstep? If you shadowstep the raptor doesn't he lose the deathrattle he got?

 

[GrainWetski]

Summoning Stone completely destroys today's Brawl, by the way. The spells cost 0 but you still get full mana for the summons. It's silly.

Pretty weird that I haven't seen anyone else use them so far.

 

[Brotherman Bill]

Probably assumed it would count spells as 0, in previous brawls it worked like that.

So apparently there's a 50% off deal on everything in HotS.

What about cards? No? Nada? Verdammt.

Despite my whining, Hearthstone isn't failing miserably - quite the contrary. HotS is.

 

[Metro]

Fuck, a create-your-deck Brawl. And I have three 60g dailies... guess I got to do it the shit way in ranked.

 

[cvv]

It's the worst Brawl ever. So drab it hurts. Got a Gorehowl out of it though.

[hivemind]

haha xd

 

[Metro]

Wow this really was the shittiest tavern brawl yet. RNG combined with create your own deck.

 

[Phage]

tfw even when you're ridiculously drunk you can still farm arena on the EU server LOL

 

[Shammy]

Pretty meh brawl, just play Mage with Wyrms, Spellbender, Flamewakers, Counterspell, Archmage, and whatever the fuck else and you'll cheese harder than cheddar.

 

[Brother None]

't is indeed. Amusingly enough with all the new OP talk it's not my best-performing class since TGT (Pally second), that'd be Warlock with 7.21 wins per arena average. I sometimes wonder why the averages of Warlock is so damn low on the typical tracking sites.

Good stuff, followed up 12-0 Paladin with 12-0 Warlock. Just the standard zooey opening and random lategame, little special about it but for four Dark Peddlers. Dark Peddler, like many (all?) discover cards, is opieopie in arena.

I'm digging League of Explorers. Gonna be curious to jump into arena with druid when they have all their LoE cards, it's already among my top-performing classes (with Pally, Warlock and Rogue), it should get a nice bump from Raven Idol.

 

[UglyBastard]

Talking about arena, I recently found this hilariously lame oldschool deck in my Asia account sitting at 0/0 (it was drafted in GvG era):

Spoiler

You can't draft shit like this anymore these days. It was an amusing run. I could really taste the tears of my opponents, naively thinking that they won't get flamestriked a 3rd or 4th time. Grabbing the board early and then just flamestriking turn 7/8/9 turned out to be pretty good as well.

My favorite moment was when my opponent played a Spellslinger, giving me a fifth Flamestrike.

Guise how does the rope work?

Sometimes the next turn after rope goes boom is much faster. Sometimes it isn't. Sometimes rope goes boom and next turn I win with the "Your opponent has left" message. Sometimes I have to actually kill the dude even though he isn't moving for 5 or 6 turns.

Any insight?
