The shit ratio is way, way different though. Sure, people in this thread complain about stuff and vent about bad luck, but most of it is in pretty a measured tone and occasionally people will even back complaints up by reasonable arguments. /r/hearthstone is like 80% shit posts, stupid memes...

Personally I just wanted the last campaign stretch goals reached and don't really care much about the PvP, but I gather that quite a few MechWarrior fans wanted that badly, so I'm happy they hit it in the end.

I'm having loads of fun with this one. I'm only in the third system for now, but I got myself a Sturville ship that is pretty cool (though ugly as sin) and I stole a Badger turret which is awesome - homing and unlimited ammo - from some of the cat people. It's pretty fun when you get some...

Yeah, I went and crafted two for my no-card US collection just so I could get five shaman wins for a daily.

Do you really think the base game they are making is going to be just the mech models imported onto a wireframe battlefield? For the base skirmish game they are going to have to build out the engine, make the UI, make the battlefields (yes, there will be multiple in the base game), model scenery...

Larian is also building a sequel i.e. content is "all" they have to make, Harebrained is making a new game which means a huge part of the actual work is the base game which they did fund themselves. You seem to be assuming that because they made a decently successful game that they made out...

It's not a huge company and crowd-funding means they don't have to rely on publishers for the investment (and all the baggage that comes with it) which is the alternative.

Yeah, there are a couple of control shamans that look fun to play (this one and one I saw Thijs play), but I don't have any giants or Alexstraza or elemental destruction among others, so it will be a bit before I could use them. The one I linked that MrYagut played has done ok for me around rank...

I haven't really followed this since the kickstarter launched, but have they said anything about modding options? It's obviously not a deal-breaker or anything as I already backed it, but I thought there was some good stuff for Shadowrun and with stage 3 and the procedural mission system...

MrYagut was playing this deck in top 20 legend for a few days, I think he topped out at rank 3 (at least that is the highest I saw posted). I haven't tried it (been working on getting my first golden hero - for a while), so it might be that the deck is very matchup dependent, I don't really...

Did you mean Shaman? Because Rogue is one of the very best classes in arena right now, many consider it better than Paladin even (though maybe harder to draft and play).

I had a paladin draft with 3 murloc knights and 2 mukla's champions. With that shit it doesn't really matter that you get no truesilvers, consecrates or mini-bots.

It works that way with all (I think) cards that change your hero power, like with priest you can heal then play shadowform and immediately plonk something with the new hero power.

While (nearly all competitive) druid decks rely on the combo for burst finish I'd say it's also firmly in the middle of those options.

Only opened 22 packs, but I did get a legendary, so that's better than my normal luck. On the other hand it was, of course, fucking skeleton knight.

A random pack.

Dreadscale seems decent and on par regarding playability with most of the other class legendaries, so it's possible Acidmaw is intentionally a little weaker than needed and included more for flavor/lore reasons. I don't really see it being usable even against slow control decks since it needs...

With that text change there's really no reason to reduce the health I think, since they are still fairly easy to kill once they have taken damage. It could even gain +1 attack both when it takes damage and when it deals damage so it can trade somewhat decently early on like it can now.

What would be the point? Everyone has access to the arena whether they are new or just don't want to pay anything. If you are arguing that you can't get to legend without being good at the game or paying, then no shit, why should you be able to?

I don't see how flame lance will be better than polymorph pretty much ever. Poly removes deathrattles which is a pretty big deal and divine shields which can be useful, and it's a mana cheaper. It won't count your highest rank until the patch hits. Card rewards top out at rank 5, you get some...

It doesn't make sense business wise, I'd think. Right now people spending money on the game are (for the most part) going to be buying packs for the new cards, pre-order or just straight up packs after launch. I think we'll see the next batch of heroes a month, month and a half after TGT hits...

Yeah, I agree that you'll almost certainly get another card like with the mine, I was more wondering if it was a no-effect card or maybe a banana-like card.

Did they post the Ambush card you get from Beneath the Grounds anywhere? I imagine it's akin to the burrowing mine from the warrior card, but who knows.

I don't really get the infatuation with buffing unused cards. Sure they could have buffed them to what ice rager and heckler is, but they probably still wouldn't be used and we'd just see two different crap cards in the expansion like lowly squire to balance out the set. There will always be...

You shouldn't read the boards while you're laddering, clearly neither is good for your blood pressure

I personally don't think the card is that good, and I'd run healbot over it. Now, I won't claim that healbot is definitely always going to be better, decks may change a lot and so on, but one of the reasons for me, is that with shaman card draw being so bad as it is *right now* the absolute last...

Very intriguing and a fantastic cast. I remember seeing the original movie when I was a kid, Yul Brunner was the scariest motherfucker to me.

The pilot was entertaining enough that I'll keep watching.

It will count from when the expansion hits, one of the CMs tweeted that at some point. I don't know how it will show in the UI though.

Uhmm, the totem golem doesn't summon anything, it's just a 3/4, properly costed as you say, but you can play it a turn early as it's 3/4 for 2 with 1 overload. The summon guy is a 3/2 for 3 who summons a random totem.

7/8 taunt for 8 isn't good stats, 5 damage for 5 mana isn't, 2 damage to all minions for 5 isn't good (yeah, you can get lucky and hit for 3 but you can't count on that), cleave for 3 mana isn't good, a 2/3 weapon for 3 isn't good, 4/6 worth of taunt for 5 isn't good, 3/1 windfury for 3 was...

The biggest problem I think is that almost all the overload card are too high cost for what the tempo is worth. Look at the new draw card, sure it only costs two mana to draw two cards, but then you are overloaded for two next turn so what is that going to help. The totem golem is a great card...

There have been what looked like portals of some kind in screenshots, so that is definitely a possibility.

One of the non-CM Blizzard guys did say that they were keeping an eye on patron warrior. Now, how far from that to doing something is anybody's guess, but at least they are past the "we don't have any plans to..." threshold. I'm fine with not playing minions with less than three attack past...

It won't end when reaching the center (unless you decide that for yourself), they've said that you'll get something that changes the game for you (or some such, I can't remember the exact phrasing), so you can continue to play.

The strategic layer previewed at Gamescom. XCOM 2 is now even more my most anticipated game.

I wouldn't rank Trump as amazing at constructed or anything close, but you might be underestimating him a tad. He did just win two tournaments in July where a lot of the best pros participated. With regards to his popularity I'm not sure, but different people like different things. I used to...

I think that quote is just trying to illustrate that everything is generated on the fly. They have stated that you can meet other players in very clear terms (though it will be unlikely unless you are close to the center).

The text specifically says you get a buff if the card you reveal costs more than the opponent's card, so that seems pretty straight forward.

You're probably correct that on average aggro players play worse than control players if only because to actually have a decent control deck you have likely played the game for a while. I do think that most people able to slug through the ranks and get legend with an aggro deck probably also...
