nohman Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I'm the newest noob around here in Hearthstone, I gave in and started playing today. Quote
madvanced Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 If you ever want to play, add nohman#1217 to your friends list. Will do, i'm just unlocking hero's or something like that. Quote
Mevvrynne Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Will do, i'm just unlocking hero's or something like that. if you're bored and want to play against some gimmicks let me know, GrayPhoenix#1465 Quote
madvanced Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 if you're bored and want to play against some gimmicks let me know, GrayPhoenix#1465 What is a gimmick in Hearthstone? I know it must be a noob question, but well I am a noob. Quote
Mevvrynne Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 What is a gimmick in Hearthstone? I know it must be a noob question, but well I am a noob. Essentially it's a deck built around a single mechanic or scheme. For instance I have a deck made of entirely deathrattle minions, spells that give deathrattle, minions and spells that trigger deathrattles, or make it so that I can cause the deathrattle via trading. Or another example is my favorite, Randuin Wrynn which is a deck made entirely up of cards that are random or cause random things to happen. Gimmicks very rarely work on ladder but oh boy are they fun. Quote

I will add you and when I'm a bit less of a noob, I don't think that it will happen any time soon because my "noob period" is always huge, and we shall do some random stuff then . Quote
Mr Poltroon Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I will add you and when I'm a bit less of a noob, I don't think that it will happen any time soon because my "noob period" is always huge, and we shall do some random stuff then . I'd recommend you add me for some noob training. So far, I know the rules and the mechanics, but I don't think I've ever won a match, the easy bots being an exception. Tiagofvarela #2846 ...thinking about it, having noobs battling it out doesn't sound like genious... Quote

I won 2 maches by luck, one the guy conceded at the very beginning for some reason, the other I won with 7hp and he had a minion with 9 attack ready for the next turn, and these were my 2 only matches. It was in casual, not ranked, but I still find it great that I was somehow able to win. Quote

I suddenly got a bunch of wins... It was all casual though. And I tend to agree that winning is indeed enjoyable. Quote
Zakamutt Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I would be Zakamutt #2266. Come to think of it, that number is crazy memorable. Fairly inactive except in brief bursts of activity, though. Quote
madvanced Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 So I finally got all the basic cards... This is such a noob thing to say -.- Quote
Zakamutt Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 It takes a while to grind them to be honest. Quote
nohman Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 2 legendaries back to back, Gruul, Golden Nozdormu. Uh... yay dust? Quote
Kaguya Posted November 8, 2014 Author Posted November 8, 2014 New cards for the expansion shown! I'm so hyped <3 Quote
Zakamutt Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 >first expansion >naxxramas not an expansion blizzard pls Quote

Decay Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Oh hey, there's a hearthstone thread here. I've put waaaay too much time into this game. I'm pretty excited for the expansion. Fair warning to all: Once the expansion hits, all Arena pack rewards will be for the expansion cards, you will be unable to receive packs of the current cards through any means other than pack purchases. So if you're relying on Arena to build up your collection, better start grinding up now. Luckily, I already have like 90% of the collection. Blizzard didn't really bill Naxx as a (true) expansion since it was only 30 cards. People took to calling it a mini-expansion though. I'm very interested in the troll/rng deck possibilities from the new expansion pack. Madder bomber is going to be such a fun card. Empty board, both heroes at 3 health, let the Bomber decide all.

Life Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 We can always hope the next meta will be an rng meta. Quote
nohman Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Letting everyone one know that everyone got a free arena run yesterday and you can now draft GvG cards. Anyone else pretty excited for this expansion? I mainly play control warrior, but come the 8th I can't wait to tinker around with midrange mage. Quote

Miracle should die with the new patch, but I think the expansion makes midrange rogue viable. I'll definitely try that out. Quote
arakura Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 tempted to get into this and just pub around with bad cards, seeing how far I can get. Quote
nohman Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 I'm excited for Rogue. Miracle should die with the new patch, but I think the expansion makes midrange rogue viable. I'll definitely try that out. Oh, yeah. That too. I wasted my time grinding out a golden rogue back when Miracle was in its heyday, and haven't touched it since naxx + the leeroy nerf. So it'll be nice to see what GvG will mean for rogues. Quote
Ariurotl Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 I did my free Arena run as a Rogue. Won one of the games with a 16-attack Assassin's Blade. Rogue is so going to be Weapon-oriented from now on... Quote
nohman Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 ^^ Goblin Auto-Barber pretty much seems like an auto-pick in arena for rogue. Quote
