Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft

[color=#ff69b4]So i got into the Hearthstone Beta a few days ago and i was a little suprise to see that there is no post on it here to talk to all the good people here on Fakku with over it. So here it is. :)

So, how many of you are playing and for how long have you been playing? etc,etc.

and for the people who don't know what Hearthstone is, here a nice long video for you.

I've been playing for about a week now. It's a really fun game except for when you get matched up with someone who has a bunch of expert cards and you just finished getting all your basic cards haha I'm sure once I play more and have more cards it will be even better.

Main deck right now is Priest

I am in too.

But as Azurekun said if you face someone with a bunch of expert cards... you will probably lose and it stops being fun because you "can't counter" thse type of cards since they are, overall, better than the basic cards.

However, if both players have basic cards, the matchs are normally fun and entertained. I have had a lot of fun trying the mage deck, which is my favourite, but other are nice too, like the Paladin, Priest, Rogue and Warrior (at least for me).

Shaman can be a bit overwhelming for the enemy if he starts summoning totems, but is good and the most annoying one for me is the Druid and Hunter deck, dunno why. xD

Just got into the beta, I love the idea behind the game, but it looks like another pay to win money sucker by Blizzard (along with D3).

HearthStone is a P2W for the sole reason that forging cards takes a lot of time and it takes a while until you can have a full deck of experts cards, let alone if some are epic o legendary. So, yeah, if you pay you will have more chances of getting better cards to beat players on the Ranked Ladder.

True that Daily Quests are nice since they give Gold to buy Packs, but still, the Gold income is ridiculous, but that is because they have to make money from somwhere to sustain the development team, it is a F2P game.

What I don't get is why you say "D3 is a P2W" when it doesn't have any kind of "Ranked/Competitive Ladder". O.o

Addicting game. Can't wait to see if they're gonna present any new classes on Blizzcon.

I don't believe Hearthstone is pay to win. Yes you can buy more cards but you can still win with the ones they give you. I'm not going to really go into this but i don't believe it's pay to win like some games.

oh and your all free to add me Hearthstone so we can play from time to time.

It is P2W in the way that to get Expert Cards "fast enough" you need to pay, otherwise, you are going to be "stuck" with Basic Cards for a long time unless you play the game a lot everyday.

There is a huge difference between Expert Cards and Basic Cards and if you play with a Basic Deck against someone with an Expert Deck you will notice the different after the first 3 minutes of match.

It is not a direct "P2W" since cards are random in the packs, but again, if you buy cards and dont get what you want, you can disenchant them and craft the ones you want, if you dont buy, you cant get enough cards to disenchant.

The ingame money is Gold and you need 100 Gold to purchase 1 Card Pack, Daily quests give like 10~15 Golds (not sure right now), so it takes a lot to actually be able to buy one. I think there are some special Quests that give 50 or so, but still... That is what I meant when I said "P2W". I just wanted to clarify it. xD


@Klown:

I don't think they will add Clases to the game (yet). At least, I think it is early and they are having some problem balancing Rogue Deck and don't remember what other Deck too.


Edit:

I was just derping, won 2 games as Mage, got 40 Gold. In addition, I won 3 gams and got another 10 Gold, so I had 100 Gold and purchased a Card Pack... I wasn't expecting Expert Cards, even good cards, and despite I mainly play Mage Deck, I got a Legendary Paladin Card. I was so surprised... I can say they achieved that feeling of "getting Epic Cards", because I was like "omg!omg!!111111222" when I heard the "Leeeegendaary" O_O


Side note: Don't mind the language, its spanish, just in case someone wonders about it.

I play this game too, quickly got to plat 1, aiming for diamond or masters if possible. I'm on EU so if somebody wants to "train" or just play together, send me a PM.

[color=#800080] lol, this deck would be so fun to use.

Starting to do good in Arena at long last. I'm 3-1 as Priest :)

It may not be the best but it's batter then my last run that was 1-3 -_-

i really want to play, TB and my friends just make me want it more and more. Also makes me miss playing WoW.

Edit: nvm got in, and my laptop only run 2.40 hrz, min for hearthstone 2.60... the sads

It well still run it. So long as your laptop is not made out of Wood.

Alright, enjoying this game, don't have a favorite class yet.

Just got my beta invite, yay

Welcome, Tsujoi. There's always room for another. :)

I don't know if I have been just lucky or what, but I reached Diamond 3 really fast and I am aiming for Masters 1. I have to say I spent 0 € in it and only spent Gold to buy Expert Cards and I am missing A LOT of good Expert Cards.

The ironic thing is that my "best" deck is a "shit" deck with no real synergy between the cards.
