Hearthstone - Heroes of Warcraft
 

Does anyone play this game? Seems pretty fun. Free to play CCG from Blizzard.

I thought it was a game inside of wow. is it its own game?

Yeah, it's a free to play standalone game.

Just got into the beta yesterday. It's much more fast and streamlined than the MagicTG-DotPW games. I could see myself getting pretty addicted to this.

Feel free to add me: Blankey#1824

I saw the previews for it from Blizzcon. I thought it looked pretty cool.

Oh yeah...**** BLizzard!

Not sure i've stated that lately.

In the beta here as well. Having a ton of fun on it. Arena mode is a blast and the game already shows that high amount of Blizzard polish. Fooster #1550 if you want to play me. I suck at constructed.

Here was my last run's deck list. Ended up being my first one with 9 wins. There's two Pyroblasts at the bottom that you don't see.

It's a fun little game and much better than SC2 and D3. I'm really bad at it though so I can't imagine playing it a ton, but it'll be (and already has been) a big hit.

Update: Game is now in open beta. Free to download/play. Packs cost but can be obtained through daily quests and hidden rewards.

This is the kind of stuff that makes me just want to play WoW again. May have to scratch the itch this weekend and play for old times sake.

Will end up being pay to win

Don't bother. Play Rift instead.

The "Arena" is the best feature of the game. You spend gold or $(1.99 I think?) to play a draft format, so it's a pretty level playing field there because everyone builds a deck out of random cards.

Arena sucks. Mages and Rogues rule and everyone else gets shafted. Also they need more cards. Specifically Pirate cards. I can't make an effective Pirate deck with what they provided yet people can Murlock faceroll wins all day errday.

The only class I see really struggling in Arena currently is hunters, because the beast cards they need to make certain things work aren't strong on they're own, and they're much weaker without it.

So far my best runs since the recent mage nerf have been on Shaman.

The 12-1 run I posted above was a shammy deck.

Hunters are the new meta and it's utter bs. Unleash the Hounds has made everyone and their mother roll a Hunter to lolfaceroll gg wins with no effort. It's really bs. I liked Shaman except I think the Overload concept is broken and has no effect on the class as intended.

Anyone still play this?

A guy I worked with talked me into playing it. Just d'loading/installing it now.

I have not played. But my buddy plays hunter. Says he can beat anyone before the opponents get full mana? Is that what you are talking about.

I'm playing the "fair match" and I've not payed for anything.

I think I'm 4-28 IIRC.

Most these people are WOW people that are use to paying for playing. There's no way these people my level have unlocked the cards they're playing...

I've lost a few hours to this game, it's pretty fun. It took awhile for me to get use to it since i've never done the whole "Magic" or "Pokemon" thing before.

Downloaded this the other night after I bought my iPad and I've been playing non stop...love it. I'm addicted...

Yes. You get 10 turns to get maximum amount of mana crystals, but a Hunter essentially punishes you for playing 3 or more minions but if you play 2 minions they have a 4 mana cost card that hits 2 minions for 4 damage each which takes out almost everything worth anything. Not to mention traps and Deadly shot which destroys a random minion. If you play 3 minions Unleash the Hounds comes in and annihilates you and your minions. Essentially they rush your health down to 0 while effectively ignoring what you have on the board or taking it out in the next turn efficiently. You won't make it to turn 10 against a Hunter. You may have 6 turns before you lose. And everyone is playing this class with the same deck and pwning errbody.

I'm waiting for the new adventure mode they are coming out with. Going to be grinding Naxxramas. Lololol this will be awesome.

Can you play single player or do you have to play against other people? I really hate social gaming.

Right now it's only against other players but they will be coming out with an adventure mode soon, just wait for that.

You can practice/level up by playing the computer or do so twice as fast by playing others.

Right now all my characters are level 20 or above and i'm winning between 60%-70% of my games.

Arena is where you play for prizes. 3 losses and you're done.

Since my first post in this thread I still have yet to win more than 1 match in arena. Higher skill level and I think I haven't unlocked the quality of cards other people have.

All in all it's a great time waster...

I've been slowly climbing up in this and the last week or so it's become so damned buggy.

It crashes on load. It crashes during game. It crashes while I'm sorting my deck.

Big, big boo for a company that's known for being Mac friendly...

All they want is your money. No complaining, no back talk.

So now it's running great.

I'm playing (and decided to go in blind, no BB's, no research, just play the game and enjoy it) and I'm addicted.

For some reason you can't "emote" on a mac which is troubling and often considered insulting by others to be "a bad sport."

Hearthstone's single player adventure mode debuts on Tuesday. The first wing will be free, with the next 4 costing 700g or $6.99. After the event (5 weeks) is over the first wing will revert to that price.

This game is pretty awesome. Easier than magic so if you're a good magic player, you're good at this game. $2 entrance into draft compared to $15 for magic. Plus if you win 7 games in the draft you get enough reward back to pay your next draft entrance fee. You keep playing til you lose 3 games or win 12. So far I've played two drafts and won 5 games each time so I'm not quite there yet.

Anyone still playing?

yes

What's your username? I'll add you.

Think I'm gonna back into this fairly soon...wish I would've never left it.
