Best thing this game did was the stupid shit to click on while waiting for your opponent to play. And smooth animations for cards being played/attacks.

Aka. Yeah. blizzard polish.

I love playing with those things. I just wish there were more "permanent" ones on more of the screens. I like the one where you can break the buildings...

I really wish they would add the following 2 emotes:

"Hurry the F up!"

and

"You had 2 cards in your hand and it still took you 10 minutes to decide to assassinate my Archmage Antonidas?"

Lol, yeah I love when they have the perfect play in their hand to something and they'll think about if they want to do it for 60s before actually doing it, they'll mouse over the different minions on your board thinking who they want to target, and you're just like really? Did you really need to think that long to play spellbreaker and silence my 10/10 lightwell?

I would also like to add,Die in a firepeople that play priests That is all.

Omg it's infuriating. I mime what I believe to be their thought process out loud in a retarded voice all the time. It's a huge pet peeve of mine. I feel like it's a clueless 5 year old playing or something. What the fuck.

There are 2 "yes, please!" answers, maybe the trick is to select the bottom one.

@Caliane and the boards/being able to click things. I just don't know why there are only a measly 3 boards? How difficult would it be to have some art direction make another 3-4, or even a dozen. It could be a F2P thing the way DOTA2 does, user submitted boards. I'm easily affected by my ambiance and I would love some dark swampy boards, foresty ones or some ice levels etc. So much potential here. I can't believe I was still discovering new things to click after 250+ games though, you'd be surprised what little things you haven't found or didn't notice.

new beta patch is up and here are some patch notes:Hearthstone Beta Patch 4217 - BlizzCon Reward Card, Ranked Changes, Card Changes - News - HearthPwn

the new ranking system and the three additional arena wins are in along with the card changes

Excited for the patch, mostly because I think the next couple of days will have a lot of people online wanting to check it out which I think will probably make for some nice easy arena runs.

So that was all the card changes, not just the nerfs. I assumed there would be buffs to cards too, guess I expected too much. And I didn't see a mention of bug fixes for cards being bugged(swapping around, going under another card in your hand, staying on the board).

I did see the returning minions to hand thing mentioned, but yeah, nothing about minions swapping or cards stuck under one another in hand.

But yeah, can't wait to get home and play some ranked now.

Also the adjusted arena rewards scare me, if 12 wins now equals the same thing that 9 wins was giving I don't see me playing arena much anymore.

Hmm? I'm playing now and don't see any of the changes. On Europe.

Europe normally patches 1 day after us for blizzard. Works out better sometimes for y'all though! Like when the d3 us ah was ruined because you could create any amount of gold you wanted they held the patch off for europe.

12 does not equal the same thing that 9 used to, the new rewards go above and beyond they said. I'm really hoping they increased the sub-6 wins reward, and I hope they increased the payout of 9 vs. 8 wins... if I'm at 2 losses on 8, I don't know if I'd want to risk trying to get TWO more wins to get a better payout.

At least if I get a golden card reward I know it'll be golden! (I hope.) I'm still missing/looking to create cards so I was still going for the 9 wins for a chance at a second pack.

The minions swapping position on board bug is still around, and seems much worse. Just played a match as warlock and every turn my minions were playing musical chairs, leading to Argus only buffing 1 of the 3 minions in play, etc.

The way buffs are applied in this game it kind of always did heal for 1 and add 1 to max health or do you mean like it legit took a 5/2 armani beserker and changed it into a 2/4 unraged beserker?

Due to the way buffs effecting health work, that is, adding 0/+1 increases both maximum and current health by 1 and subtracting 0/-1 only decreases maximum health by 1. Damage amounts equal to or less than the buff amount essentially are not applied if you then remove the buff.
Examples:
A) Silencing a (toughness) buffed minion that has taken damge, but not below its base health will not carry damage over to its unbuffed health. For instance, say I have a 4/4 that has blessing of kings on it and it becomes an 8/8. Say that 8/8 takes 2 damage, becomes 8/6, then I silence it. It will go back to being a 4/4 with no damage on it.
B) Your opponent has a stormwind champion(6/6 +1/+1 to your other minions) and a bloodfin raptor (3/2) now buffed to a (4/3). You are playing a mage and have 6 mana. You anticipate killing the stormwind champion with a fireball and ping the raptor with your champion ability for 1 bringing it to 4/2 assuming you'll be able to remove it with your ability next turn. But you fireball the stormwind champion and the raptor becomes a 3/2. (Obviously you should fireball then ping, just trying to create an example.)
