My first exotic weapon in weeks and it's a fucking no land beyond. FML

It definitely seems like a lot of people are dropping out of the game. I had a ton of free time this weekend so I wanted to finish some stuff up (VOG x2 and CE x1) and getting groups was an absolute nightmare. It doesn't help that PSN is shit and the search function was broken for a good chunk...

Miracle Rogue has come back in a big way it seems. Only one Gadget and the new win condition revolves around Deadly Poisons, Sharpsword Oil and Blade Flurry. I've seen it ranked quite a few times and it's all over the streams.

Their external auditors might be VERY interested in knowing about this loophole.

Played against and Echo/Deathlord/Fatigue Mage. Annoying as all fuck. I had a chance until he got duplicated Antique Heal Bots. I hit flamestrike and I'm not familiar enough to know what the Duplicate rules are (i.e. what gets duplicated in a mass removal situation). I just don't get why...

I'm not sure if it's a result of streamers showboating or the inherent human nature that we are all dicks, but there is an attitude that if you can BM than you must BM in this game. Personally I prefer to end it quick and move on to my next game.

Zoo is kind of weak right now since other classes do it better. Hunter is just fine and they still make decks around face going. The Undertaker nerf was not designed to kill off hunters or force a major paradigm shift with them. Anyone who thought so was deluding themselves. The nerf was...

And then you get anomalies like Starfire Protocol and Voidfang Vestments which have shown up on Xur an extremely large number of times. That's actually what convinced me that it was random because there's no way the developers would be dicks to put those two items on Xur 95% of the time. But...

Reynad just 3/0ed Firebat with Mech Mage in Battle of the Best finals. Get ready for more Mech Mage on the ladder! It was a pretty impressive tournament deck. It teched in Black Knight (like I said, it's a target rich environment) and Bling-Fucking-Tron. Made for some crazy RNG but it...

I'm not a big fan of nerfs unless they're absolutely necessary for the game. Undertaker was, flat out, necessary in my opinion. I'm just not convinced on Mechwarper yet. That's not to say my mind won't change in the coming weeks but I believe it's too early for me to say it's OP just yet. In...

Holy crap. If you're not running Black Knight right now, you are doing it wrong. It's such a target rich environment right now and he has, single handed, won me games that I would have lost otherwise. I had Warlock Dominance today so I ran Xixo's Zoo. After losing to a Druid, I yanked the...

Mechwarper is firmly in the sights of the forum warriors. The funny thing is that it's the exact same people who screamed for Undertake nerfs. Oh and they also want Dr. Boom nerfed. I agreed 100% with the Undertaker nerf. A 1 drop should not be as impactful as he was. He warped the meta...

Earlier today I was playing Mech Mage against a Ramp Druid. My "tech" card of choice is Black Knight with all the Belchers running around. Turn 6 he drops Sunwalker. I Black Knight him. Turn 7 he drops Ancient of War. I play the "return friendly minion to hand" spare part and Black Knight...

The difference between Boom and Undertaker was that Undertake had the potential to win games outright if you didn't mulligan into an immediate answer. Boom you get 6 or 7 turns to play out the game, develop board presence and draw into answers. He's much easier for the meta to adapt to him...

Additionally, the Boom Bots are one and done (or two and done depending on how you look at it). The point is, once the bombs do their damage, that's it. They will never do that damage again. An unanswered Ragnaros will keep on spitting out fireballs every turn he is left on the table. Any...

In my opinion, the way to "fix" Dr. Boom is to release more viable and competitive 7 drops. Right now there is no competition for him in the 7 slot so people are going to, naturally, run the only good 7 cost minion that exists. But that means people will have to accept Boom until April for...

I don't like disenchanting any Legendary cards... But if your collection is still small and you're going to disenchant one, there's not too many worse than him to disenchant.

Too slow to be playable. He's very much a win more card.

I disagree. He's just the first good, neutral, 7 cost minion out there so, of course, people are going to run him. And at 7 mana he needs to be impactful and, if you don't have an answer, he should swing a game. He is, literally, the only good GvG neutral legendary. The rest are niche at...

I don't see any obvious nerf targets after the Undertaker one. Mechwarper is strong but not OP so. Same with Dr. Boom. Right now I'm seeing a ton of Paladins which are hard fights. They are very good at just grinding you down. Also a lot of mech mage which isn't surprising after the...

So how about that Kyrie Irving guy? 55 point game over Portland when Lebron is out for a couple of days with a sprained wrist.

I've seen MC Tech in Ranked enough to know to play around it now. It's a meta card and with Dr. Boom plopping 3 minions on the board, he can get a lot of value. The meta will adapt to him being included and people will play around him in the future but I've lost a couple of games where I...

Crota raid gear uses a different type of shard than the ascendant ones from light level 33 vendor gear.

I'm about 1000 reputation short. Then the trades cost 500 glimmer and a black wax idol. So, I'll be able to this week but it's going to be a ton of grinding since glimmer is horribly boring and tedious to farm.

Crota's kill on my Titan. More energy and a machine gun I already have. Seriously fuck this game. I get why loot is RNG after playing MMOs for years but you wait all week to do a shitty raid that takes less than an hour for a kick in the nuts. The only thing keeping my warlock from 32 is...

Holy fuck. Nothing but energy on my first Crota's raid today. Utter bullshit.

I finished 1 and 3. I remember Thief of Fate taking me all summer to beat. I was stuck, literally, for weeks trying to beat the boss at the bottom of the first dungeon. Once I qualified for advanced classes and the chronomage opened up, I finally beat him and was able to move on. I don't...

I still run VOG twice a week hoping for exotics. It's not obsolete but it is close to it.

Noxious is my favorite streamer. He can be good and he understands the game but he doesn't play competitively very often so it's more fun. But he can be salty as fuck. Trump I watch in small doses. He just doesn't have much personality. He knows the game but plays with an Arena mindset of...

That NEOGAF post is pretty promising and that's the kind of thing I want to hear. It makes me, cautiously, optimistic towards House of Wolves.

I'd tell him about it. He can then act on it or not based on his judgement. Alternatively, since it's a large corporation, if you have access to their internal auditors, talk to them about it. If a regular auditor found the loophole you're describing, they would, likely, determine it is a...

Just wait until he unloads Grommash + Whirlwind and hits you for 10 Antonidas is a lot more useful these days with spare parts all over the place. Auctioneer was nerfed because of them but he was overlooked. But I'm glad. He gives Mages a win condition and spare parts + Antonidas is part...

It doesn't make me sad or upset because, even though I'll bitch up a shitstorm when it comes to the game, I do enjoy it overall. And between my wife's salary as an RN and my salary as an Accountant, we make good money so I can afford it. It was just a bit more than I expected. Not a crazy...

Tip of the day: Do NOT go into your transaction history on blizzard.net... I didn't realize I had spent as much on this game as I had. Most of it was really early on in Closed Beta when nerfs were fairly regular and I was able to cash in on the dust. But still... It was eye opening.

Paladin is a strong matchup against Handlock with Peacekeepers to neuter giants and equality to kill anything with their dudes.

Just as the game should not be balanced around tournament play, neither should it be balanced around the top of the ladder. The top of the ladder is control heavy and once you hit Legend, there is no incentive to win games except for bragging rights of saying "I hit #1 Legend NA for 30 minutes...

Aggro is just out of control right now. It's just too strong. Playing control, you are gambling that you get early removal so you can transition into the late game. Playing aggro, it's simply whoever is faster in going face. And the worst part? Ben Brode has gone on record as stating he...

After last week, I think that our hopes were a bit too high that Xur would sell something good but this is really bottom of the barrel for him. I'll probably upgrade my Truth but that's not too exciting.

WTF I've been playing against an unusually high number of "rope burners" this morning.

The meta changes on a day by day and even an hour by hour basis. At the beginning of the season you see a ton of aggro early on as people try to get fast wins to get back to the rank they belong. At the end of the season you see a lot of aggro as the scrubs who couldn't get to Legend during...
