I don't know what the "Well Played" etiquette is or when ending a match if I should say it even if the other side didn't do that well.

So like, all I ever do is say Hello at the beginning. Sometimes people greet me back and others threaten me and make me sad.
 
What I was originally going to say is that I find it funny that people say "Well Played," for simple things like playing a board clear or something. I mean, I always say thanks, but I still think it's silly.

There is no emote for the thing they *really* want to say ;)
And if you ever played something like online poker you know why there is no chat.
 
apparently 'adjacent minions' means 'the minions directly to the right, which the game will swap around repeatedly, and then change to something completely different for no apparent reason'

I use the Well Played as my gg substitude and when the opponent plays a nice combo.
 
I use "Well Played" when my Goblin Bomber kills my Argent Squire.

I personally use "well played" when the game was actually a close well played game where the difference was made by a smart play, or on a genuinely good move.

I don't use it when I've beaten the opponent by turn 5 or when the opponent has just played something very obvious, like flamestrike to clear my board.
 
Mages always dealt tons of damage in all RPG games, but the downside was casting time for the strongest spells. If they had Pyroblast hit at the start of your next turn instead of immediately, giving one time to counter it somehow, either heal or play some counter-spell cards (perhaps silence would work?), it would be a more balaned card imo.
 
What would you guys recommend doing with 300g i have accrued from levelling up basic sets and 2 daily challenges, should I save it for Arena or are packs worth the price?

Arena, but just wait right now till the big bugs are worked out.

Guardian of Kings is actually a pretty insane card (It's Thragtusk) but you don't have time to cast it right now.

Definitely save them for the arena. You always get a pack, and the 50 extra gold are well worth the chance for additional gold/dust/cards/packs.

Wait for the hotfix for these newly introduced bugs, then go.

I don't think EU patch is live here until the restart of the servers/maintenance. The client shows the patch notes but everything is as it was.
Certainly looks like it. I was double-checking the changed cards to make sure.

Had you really never noticed the "2" vs "4" curve thing before? I picked up on it pretty quickly when playing a Pally deck with 3 Argent Defenders/6 other 2 drops vs a 4 Truesilver/2 Consecrate deck. It's all about "would I coin T1 or T3?"

No I haven't, but now that you mention it it seems really obvious. 2 and 4 are definitely the sweet spots and coin makes a 3 curve surprisingly awkward.

IT'S HAPPENING.

(My solution to the Defender bug so far is to not draw him, apparently. I drew him in my nineth game but never played him.

Fuck yo bugs.)
 
Knowing that Druid is a trap now (thanks Trump) makes me soooo much happier with my play. People had been talking it up but aside from a few crazy OP decks I had been struggling to do more than get in the 3-6 win range with the class.
 
Welp, second loss to a rogue with the same idea I had.

Except she had Argent Commander.

(The dream is dead.)
 
4 boxes

Soul Siphon
160g
Gold Flame Imp

Booster was:
Beastial Wrath (this is getting DE'd so fast)
Battle Rage
Dread Corsair
Blood Imp

It has it's uses, especially with Timberwolf and other beast buffers but it is very situational now. Doubt you will see many hunter decks.

I am already running into mages non-stop in the higher tiers :|

Well it's fun today in the lower tier with all those decks that put weenies down for card draw, double summon, etc. I just won 10 in a row vs oblivious people who have no idea how to face Hunter now because they are so used to spamming minions
 
the feels of winning and fireballing your only taunt minion losing you the game

Is it 12-X or 12-0 that gives you a special title/ranking? For some reason I was thinking it was 12-0. I'm sitting on a 6-1 run that might make it quite a bit further if I'm lucky.
 
OH SHIT. THE TEMPORARY FLAME IMP DUST BOOST APPLIES TO GOLDEN IMP AS WELL.

HELLO 400 DUST.

No clue, Minsc. I didn't even know Arena conferred titles.
 
If there are titles I feel like they will be dolled out at the end of each month, like in WoW.

Edit: Actually, going 12-0 will probably grant something, what am I thinking?

Double Edit:

It said somewhere already. Something like Molten / Frozen / Argent or some such.
 
Oh I just mean in the Quest Log screen,I guess you used to be Grand Champion (or Master) with a 9-X run, but it's probably the same thing again at 12-X.

I'm now a Ruby Key at 9-X.
 
I got a beta key for this and played all the tutorial missions but it seems really simple? Does it get more complex the more you get into it or am I just not appreciating it for what it is?
 
I feel like I'm the only person that still doesn't have a beta key. Has there been any word about another reset for the release of the game?
 
The weirdest thing just happened, I started a game, I discarded the cards that I didn't want, it gave me new ones, but they didn't go to my hand. It "froze" for a minute or two and when they go to my hand, both hero icons get destroyed. Internet crashed for both of us or what?

I seen some other people seem to misplace DOA (pre-patch) but every time I've placed him he goes to the right spot.

I don't use him often though, and recently removed from testing in my rogue deck.
