Hearthstone - TIL; Acolyte, Daring Reporter, Volcano interaction


TIL; Acolyte, Daring Reporter, Volcano interaction

Posted: 03 Jul 2017 05:11 AM PDT

I had an 1/3 acolyte on board, enemy had 5/5 Daring Reporter.
I use Volcano, figuring 3+5+3 = 11, so Volcano will clear.
Turns out the Volcano spell ends before the stats are added to Daring Reporter from drawing cards, which means I was left with an 8/3 Daring Reporter to deal with.
Lost the game.

Remember how we were all logged out last week? I think I found proof that Blizzard is now tracking us.

Posted: 02 Jul 2017 02:35 PM PDT

Ever since the last patch rolled out, I have been unable to use Hearthstone on my iPhone 6 Plus.

The app would open just fine, I could play the tutorial missions, all that jazz. But when I tried to sign in, the login screen would not populate. All I would see were the tavern doors with the glowing blue symbol. I googled forever and found very little information. I submitted a ticket to blizzard, and went through several troubleshooting steps, including checking for firewalls, deleting/reinstalling, reformatting my phone, etc etc. Nothing worked. I had another iPhone, and an iPad, which had no problem with logging in though. Very frustrating stuff.

I had a tweak installed on my phone called "Untrusted Hosts Blocker". This is an app that blocks third-party hosts used by iOS applications that have been identified as collecting personal and confidential data (such as location, contacts, UDID, etc.) for commercial, tracking, or advertising purposes. For instance, this would prevent Facebook from seeing what I search for in my browser app, among others.

By deleting this tweak (which did not exist on my other iOS devices) I was able to populate the login screen, and I have successfully logged into Hearthstone on my iPhone 6 Plus. Yayyyyy.

So what does this mean? Well, as we know, Hearthstone force-logged out all users from all devices with the recent patch. Here's the thread where people are talking about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/6j0yyx/email_authentication/

The fact that my login would not populate means that the Blizzard servers have been updated with some sort of tracking that my Untrusted Hosts tweak was already blocking before the latest patch.

I'm curious what Blizzard is now tracking on our phones, or other devices for that matter, that they previously were not. This could possibly explain the bizarre behavior of forcing everyone to login to their accounts again, something that hasn't happened since beta.

tl;dr Blizzard's recent update is being blocked by an app that prevents third parties from collecting personal data on your device.

EDIT: Just a quick update, I have contacted the developer of this host blocker list, in the hopes that they can determine precisely which hosts are being blocked. Until that point, anything is possible. It might be something totally benign and unimportant, it might be crazy and contemptuous, it is too premature to reach any conclusion. But given the facts we already know, scrutiny is certainly a fair response.

I also found a safe in my house, if anybody is interested....

UPDATE: I opened the safe. It contained /u/neverlosty's findings when he ran a Man in the Middle attack. Also, another smaller safe.

i am so sick of all the disgusting insults from "friends"

Posted: 02 Jul 2017 11:03 PM PDT

we all know it.

get a friend request > extreme insults > vanishes

blizzard ain't doing nothing about it! i was once able to report a guy (through the battlenet interface and because he didn't stop) and the response was that i should never accept friend requests after a match! how ridiculous is that?

the implications are:

1) sociopaths get away with this and keep doing it.

2) real friendship and a sense of community can't develop because we are conditioned to decline friend requests.

3) kids learn this behaviour early on and copy it.

and certainly more.

how about you use some of the money you earn to tackle this instead of just putting it into your pocket blizzard?

4 Legendary Arena Run!

Posted: 03 Jul 2017 06:16 AM PDT

So since I have a day off I decided that I relax for a while and start a new arena run. I ended up with a heartattack instead of a nice, relaxed arena run.

Hope in random friend requests restored!

Posted: 03 Jul 2017 03:49 AM PDT

So, I had 20 minutes left for tavern brawl and I needed 5 wins for the quest. As much as I would hate myself, I did Jade Idols, easy 5 wins. I see there's 5 minutes left, so I insta-concede as much as I could before tavern brawl closes.

It ends, I see a friend request, I accept naturally as I desire human interaction other than family. I apologize profusely for doing jade idols deck, giving my reasoning for doing so, and the guy is perfectly ok with it! He even wants a rematch.

It was good fun, no quest rogue, dragon priest, or pirates, just some homebrew decks with what we had. We even talked about random stuff for half an hour. He then bid farewell, as he dares to climb the ranked ladder. I wish him good fortune in his endeavors.

Don't let the rage requests get to you all. Have a nice day everyone!

Alb987, Alberto Reano has won the Hearthstone Wild Open and is now the Wild Champion! I am sure he will enjoy his $8,000. He won in a close 1:3 against Control.

Turn 2 Malygos and Turn 3 Gadgetzan Auctioneer as Spell Damage Rogue.

Posted: 03 Jul 2017 08:13 AM PDT

Picture of the sorry situation

I believe my opponent thought that I was playing Quest Rogue and played Dirty Rat on turn 2, which unfortunately for him, pulled Malygos from my hand. After that he decided to take on another gamble on turn 3, which pulled Gadgetzan Auctioneer - giving me the best start I have ever had in Hearthstone.

Despite that, my opponent decided to see things through, but unfortunately the combination was simply too much for him. After the match I sent him a friend invite and luckily he accepted it straight away. We had a nice laugh about the dirty rat pulls and he asked me to go win a match for his spectating quest, which I did with the same deck.

The Hearthstone Shiro Open

Posted: 02 Jul 2017 10:59 AM PDT

For Android users, this is how you unlock the framerate of this game

Posted: 03 Jul 2017 08:27 AM PDT

Use a file explorer app that has a text editor, eg. Solid File Explorer.

Navigate to Android/data/com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone/files/options.txt and open with the text editor

Add this line to the text file

targetframerate=60

Or you can use whatever frame rate you want, note the higher the frame rate the more battery it will consume. I recommend at least 48 and above.

Edit: The game actually has some pretty cool improvements on my side of things by default when you're dragging minions to attack or casting spells it would set the frame rate to 60fps to remove touch latency, back then it would just be 30 lock and it would look stupidly horrendous. Now with the 60fps touch controls boost and this method of unlocking frame rate, the game feels really smooth especially on my OnePlus 5 where it has Snapdragon 835 with 8GB RAM

Next Expansion Predictions: Lore of the Cards

Posted: 02 Jul 2017 02:59 PM PDT

When I posted my TOATALLY up to date video about Goblin Shredders here, some one asked that I make a video on a few predictions for the next expansion so I did! Enjoy!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDp_hXSIQbk

Thoughts? What do you all think is coming next for Hearthstone? I will also point out the second prediction was added as I saw someone talking about that possibility on the Shredder thread, so thank you for that :D
