And active users? No one cares about sign ups.

Agreed, but Blizzard has stopped giving those numbers for all their games it seems. This is all we have.

Truth right here, I tried it out for two days and grew bored.

Activision Blizzard would rather put in as little effort and money as possible for the greatest profit.
I doubt they will ever make an MMO ever again.
Yep.
This is why MS is right with the whole "active users" thing. I'm a registered user, but I've played it for 5min before quitting trying to get that WoW mount, and never touched it again.
New standard system levels the playing field somewhat.
That wouldn't be relevant either. How many people pre-purchased WOTG packs would be a good indicator.
Is that new thing where you can only use the stuff from the last two expansions?
The expansion is fantastic with a very high quantity of quality cards. This is a far cry from tgt where most of the cards were trash. With Standard being implemented the current meta decks are completely unrecognizable with the old decks. In the past this happened for 1 month then the old decks were back but with GvG and Naxx gone that might not happen.

I couldn't even make it through the tutorial. I'd rather know active users.
hilarious, i seriously love this card. Someone played it against me and almost all effects have been in my favor. I was very tempted to concede just because it was so funny to watch. This is randomness done right. It will never be competetive, but it's fun.
Will definitely craft it if i dont get it after opening all my packs.

What a useless metric, particularly considering I know people who were creating 8 accounts at a time to unlock a bunch before pawning them off for $10-15 a pop.
Eh even if a small number those Players are hardcore whales.

Microsofts shift to MAU certified.
I never did get hooked on Hearthstone. I suck so bad at the game, that I never made it past the AI-tutorial.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
It's still a shallowly simplistic CCG that try as I may, I can't find the hooks in it. Wish there was a better alternative.

I feel like I'm overwhelmed with too many card options. That and having to rebuild decks, because of different compatibilities between play modes.
Holy shit lol
Same here. Hearthstone does what it does amazingly well, but as someone who's played Magic since they were a child, it does feel insultingly basic at times.
Give me MTG:O with Hearthstone's level of polish and I don't think I'll play any other game.
Jesus Christ I don't care if that Card loses me the game I love gimmicky Decks and this is hilarious, first Legendary I might craft.
I think that's one of it's draws for me, I've tried to get into MTG:O but it's just a bit too impenetrable for me.
That said, the amount of RNG in hearthstone makes my teeth itch sometimes.
Haha amazing.
For what it's worth it is actually much easier now with fewer cards in the standard set. Nax and GvG are only playable in the Wild format. They also have deck recipes now where you have several choices for each class on what type of deck you want to play and it constructs it for you. You can also check out websites like Hearthpawn that have thousands of decks and you can just copy one from there that people have had success with.
I would only bother with Standard because many of the overpowered broken cards were in the removed sets.

Questions: There's no single player expansion hitting?
I'd been saving my gold to start buying parts of a new expansion, but if there isn't going to be one, I'll spend it elsewhere. Worth buying Nax still? Or Blackrock?

Cool. If I buy one of this expansions and play it all will the cards I earn be enough to be somewhat competitive?
I'm not talking getting super high in the ranks but you know, not have a completely out of date deck.
Their current idea if a Spring expansion, Summer adventure (SP content), and Fall expansion.

Ah ok. I'll keep socking gold away then so I can but the next expansion outright.
I reckon you can be fairly competitive on just the basic and classic cards if you know what you are doing somewhat ,also the new deck recipes actually produce some fairly decent decks, and if you combine that with the beginners decks from somewhere like http://hearthstoneplayers.com/, then you can do pretty well.
I'm not that good at it, I've not spent any money on cards, and I do ok.

its a solid game especially now that we finally have new content
If you buy the League of Explorers expansion and spend some time building and acquiring cards from the standard deck you can be very competitive.

Agreed. This new set has created some legit cards to use, but also introduced actual fun RNG cards as well. Yogg, renounce darkness, the evolution cards, and more are tons of fun to see what happens. Normally hate RNG as I get burned by it a lot, but with these it at least is entertaining to watch unfold, comedicly so at times.
Yep, thats me
Thats why i'm actually quite excited for Elder Scroll Legends. It wont have Magic's depth, but maybe it will be nice hybrid between HS and MTG.Still, i'm gonna play today quite a lot of Arena
HS is just great game, even though, some Blizzard decisions regarding it are strange to say the least.
