Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft

[DokkenRokken]

Stay far, far away from Jeff. *Whew* I go to play a friendly game and it's like I'm playing Heroics! lol

Where the hell is Shutyertrap at? You better not be no *Ranked 8*.

Now this is out on Android, I'm playing it. I understand cross-platform play is possible between iOS and Android.

I'd be certain that those playing from the beginning like me would be at a serious disadvantage playing someone like [MENTION=134]shutyertrap[/MENTION] or [MENTION=3]Jeff Strong[/MENTION] but I'm willing to get pwned for great justice.

Apparently you have to add by email address, so if anyone wants to add me, mine is jaredleonmorgan at gmail dot com.

 

[Jeff Strong]

Sounds good man. The cool thing is that even though all my decks are pretty advanced with powerful cards, there's still the option to use the basic decks for stuff like this. I'll add ya soon.

BTW [MENTION=486]Bonzo[/MENTION] plays too.

Actually I suck, and I'm playing with mostly basic cards as I spent all my gold on buying the expansion and not on buying card packs. Really wish they'd hurry up and come out with the iPhone version, as I'm usually doing 5 billion other things when I'm sitting at the PC. I'll add you in next time I log on.

Added.

BTW- Jeff is a MONSTER at the game. I wish you all the best. Hahahaha

I've gotten a lot better.

The thing for me is that I'll spend a decent amount of money, and yet almost NEVER get any of the Legendary cards. It's really starting to piss me off. I've had to use dust to create 3 of them so far. At this point, my goal is to get all the gold cards for each Hero. My Hunter is finished, and my Warlock is about to hit 50. I have nearly all the cards for the starter deck and the new Gnome/Goblins deck...but barely any Legendary cards. lol

What do you think of the Mechs? I'm just starting to use them for my Rogue. I think she's the weakest hero of the bunch, but give her a ton of Mechs, and she becomes pretty decent.

I don't even know the first thing about disenchanting cards and stuff like that. I'm sure there's a tutorial about it. I'm just trying to unlock all my character basic decks.

Here's a video of me beating the #1 player in Europe at the moment live on his Twitch:

Needless to say I was pretty pumped to get the win!

Sorry there's no sound since Twitch mutes the audio if you have copyrighted music playing.

Nice work Jeff. You seemed in control the whole match.

 

[jaredmorgs]

I honestly haven't played Hearthstone for a long time. The problem with the game for me is that it is real-time. And if, for example, your wife wants you to do something for her and you say "Let me just finish this turn and I'll be right with you" that goes down like a cup of cold sick.

So I like the idea, but I'm not sure whether Hearthstone fits into the lives of the family man with kids <5yo.

That's why you have to get the kiddos hooked into watching you play! I started doing a running commentary where I was making up stories about the various cards played and soon the kid was no longer a problem.

But I totally get what you're saying. My wife has poked her head in to ask a question numerous times and it's like, "woman, can't you see I'm busy?!!" Doesn't go over so well.

Thanks man. There were a couple scary moments, especially when he brought out JARAXXUS, but the heals and other pally shenanigans were just too strong.

I hear ya man. Pinball probably falls into that same category, eh? Well, at least you can pause pinball though

I found this analysis of cards found in packs:

The chances of getting a pack with any 5 legendary cards is one in a million.
