Yeah same, even though i'm not sure if that comment exists on their page :)

My question again, are EU and NA realms separated or You can play withing both easily?

The realms are sadly separate. I don#t really know why because latency is not really an issue with such a game.
 
I'm still in the minor leagues compared to most of you guys here, but I wanted to know what you all think. This is the deck I built that people keep surrendering to out of sheer frustration.

It fun and works until I can get more, better cards.

I think Frostwolf Grunt is kinda a shitty taunt. for 2/2 at 2 Mana not really worth it. The Grunt has the same health and only costs one mana. Maybe replace those with something for some early aggression? That way you can bait out some creatures and use your removal.

Also not a big fan of the silverback patriarch but they might work for your deck although if you use the double health on those guys. Although I would rather use that on the Berserkers.
 
Thanks for heads up with this. Posted a comment -- but it isn't showing. I'm sure the site is being flooded to high-heaven.

Best to all those that give it a try.

You can check your profile (top right corner on their site) to see if your comment is posted. I accidentaly posted the same one two times, hopefuly I won't be disqualified ^ ^

Site is getting hammerd atm but it's not fcfs - the window of opportunity consists of the next 23h ;-)

Thanks for letting us know, but I give up. Yet another website where something doesn't work as intended. It asks me to make an account, which I did without an issue. And then to comment on the page. How can I comment when it fails to submit every time.

Good luck everyone.

Taunt is overrated, the only one in your deck that is good is sen'jin. Pick better creatures and use the minions that give taunt to other creatures if you really want to use taunt. You will have even more success. Think how good gurubashi will be with taunt.

Pretty insane weapon deck. 2 fiery, 1 arcanite, gorehowl.

Do you have a good warrior deck going right now that you can post? I mean for constructed play.

Also this game really is crack. I love the simplicity of it. I watched a bit of Hex but honestly I'd rather play Duel of Champions again than Hex from what I have seen. Hex looks like so much upkeep and I play a digital CCG so I don#t have to deal with as much stuff. When Hearthstone really gets goign gets new cards and more features it will be even more awesome.

Not sure if this works but.. Here.

It's my current warrior deck I use in Masters 1. Big issues right now are that I have no silences, and I am pretty vulnerable to a few AOEs tearing through me. But that can be easily rectified by playing safe and using Battle Rage smartly to retain card advantage and board control. Multiple weapons allows me to continue to sacrifice myself to keep specific minions on board (Frothing, Warsong, Worgen) and keep board control.

Cards like Commanding Shout and Stampeding Kodo allow me to use my minions efficiently and almost always get a 2 for 1 trade. It's still a WIP progress deck since I switched to Shaman and have only just relearnt Warrior post-patch.
 
Damn, dood. It's like your 10th post in 2 months and your first in this thread!

Got some serious lurker action up in here...

Congrats!

Lol, I admit I'm almost always late on these "first post gets it" giveaways, I just happened to be doing my early morning lurking before starting my work :)

Hopefully Blizzard still sends invites to those who received them through other means rather than straight from Blizzard. I'll come here to give any extras I receive.
 
Every time I see this thread bumped my heart breaks. I am never getting into this beta. Might as well look into Hex for my TCG needs.

Interesting. Why no Arcanite Reaper?

Like I said at this point I'd recommend looking into Duel of Champions over Hex. Played that for a while recently and it's actually pretty good.

Arcanite Reaper is one crappier weapons you can get. In Arena, it's invaluable if you are low on weapons, but if I could have 3 or 4 fiery war axes instead of 2 axes and 2 reapers, I'd take that almost always. The thing with the Arcanite reaper is that you rarely will use all 5 damage, and if you actually ARE using the full 5 damage, you are undoubtedly taking heavy losses - unless it's against something like a gurubashi or snapjaw - and thats a tough price to pay. Fiery War Axe is one of the best weapons because early game plays can snowball extremely fast and you can shut that down quickly because 3 damage on turn 2 (or 1) will kill pretty much anything your opponent plays.

In any case, Gorehowl is present to function as your big creature removal, it works brilliantly as a 7/1 because you can always upgrade it and take a swing at the Hero or continually use it and get extremely good mileage out of it.

Hex has so much more depth than any digital TCG at this point besides MTG online itself, but Hex will feature a lot more in terms of what can be done than even that game and any other digital card game. Right now, especially watching videos of it at the present, it is in a complete alpha state. It's not really good to judge the game at the moment and stuff like passing priority will be completely customizable (which will make games go by faster).

In the end, both games are for different audiences, but the state of Hex at present should not be judged. It's way too early to do that - I think CZE's own internal alpha began September 30th.

I know that, but I don#t think depth is necessarily good if it's cumbersome. That's what it looks like to me at this point. I also know it's in Alpha state which is why I would not recommend to play it now. Maybe later but don#t fork out 50 bucks for it. Duel of Champions is right now a good alternative that is completely free.

Oh fudgecicles, I accidently posted twice without noticing because I was alt tabbing between the site and marvel heroes while spamming the post button.
 
So don't play druid in arena, 2 glaring bugs, one that makes it so you can't end your turn and gives you a loss unless your opponent concedes, and the other is some of their "pick this or that" cards don't trigger after choosing.
 
This may seem like a strange question, but how intense are the graphics/animations? I only have a psuedo gaming laptop and can run things like League of Legends on/around Medium but games like Farcry 3, Bioshock Infinite I had to go down to Low specs and the frame rate was fine.

Are there even any graphic options yet?

There is low/medium/high. You should easily be able to run it.

My fiance's laptop ran it no problem, and that thing sucks. Although the b.net installer said she didn't have enough RAM, it still let her install and play it without issue.

That said, it is a damn pretty game. I love the spell effects :)

As we continue to improve the server stability of the Hearthstone closed beta, we will not be doing a wave of beta keys for NA or EU today.
