Hearthstone - Newbie Tuesdays Weekly Discussion

Newbie Tuesdays Weekly Discussion

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 04:11 PM PST

Hello members of the /r/hearthstone community,

This is part of a series of weekly threads aimed at both new and old players from the community. It is designed so that everybody may ask any and all questions regarding the game's mechanics, decks, strategies and more.

Please keep it clean and try to add more than just a one or two word response. As the goal of this post is to increase the community's knowledge, the thought process matters as much as the answer! There is also a Theorycrafting Thursday weekly post, for those who wish to discuss some of the more intricate aspects of the game.

Sticky Threads and Guides - Great resources for new players!

Note: I am a bot. Questions or feedback regarding this thread? Message the moderators.

What you think will happen first? The Hearthstone ladder rework or mankind colonizing Mars?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 08:17 AM PST

I was just reading about Elon Musk's timeline for reaching Mars and some predictions by him on when we could reach the Red Planet. He is quite ambitious about it here, and it's a quite interesting read if you like the topic. One year ago - the date of the article is Feb. 2017 - Musk mentioned he plans on launching a lander on 2020 (two years from now btw).

On September, National Geographic published an article in which Musk is quoted indicating cargo rockets being launched by 2022.

SpaceX was founded in 2002, which means that in 20 years of existence they could be sending rockets to Mars.

Hearthstone was launched in March 2014, almost four years ago, and we still can't see what cards were milled in the history, we can't use our cards when playing with people from two different servers (even though the cards should feel physical), and we have the same dust and ladder systems that were included in the closed beta.

So, at that rate, what do you people think will happen first? Will we still be facing tier 1 decks with unnerfed Patches and Corridor Creepers while we start a new account on our way to Mars?

Victory was within my grasp.

Its been years. Theres no excuse. Let me play with my EU friends with the cards both of us bought.

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 06:34 PM PST

If you dont know, if you have a friend in another region none of your collection works. There is no way to play with a friend in the EU without paying for a second account.

If you're gonna charge me an ultra premium price to play hearthstone then provide a quality service at least and let me play with friends with the cards I paid for

One year later, where's Tyrande?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 06:26 AM PST

I remember Ben stating they were looking to give players more ways to acquire Tyrande in the year of mammoth because Twitch Prime was exclusive for very few countries... So mammoth is almost extinct and no new way to get her. Did I miss something?

How To Make Friends in Hearthstone: A Definitive Guide

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 07:48 AM PST

Hello and welcome to the thread to end all threads! I can very confidently predict that after reading this simple, constructive guide no-one will ever struggle to complete the "Challenge a Friend!"/"Watch and Learn" quests because social tabs of all the players across all three servers are going to be full to the brim with supportive, sociable folks. I want you to imagine this guide as a card that everyone loves - a sort of Ultimate Infriendstation which deals 5 damage to loneliness, draws 5 friends and summons a 5/5 social experience; or maybe even Patches the Pirate - a friendly presence who pops out of a fun cannon whenever it sees a likeminded person it wants to hang out with.

1. Start off with an ice breaker

Here I don't mean playing the card - the card is intimidating and utterly unfun to play against, because it outright destroys three of your opponent's minions one by one if a very simple condition is met. Don't add people after beating them with Freeze Shaman: simply playing this deck is considered BM of the highest order.

A good ice breaker, for instance, would be jokingly telling your friend-to-be how you wish they had cancer. Cancer is the most common and innocuous comedy topic across all cultures, so you are guaranteed to elicit a laugh or two from your new acquaintance, making them immediately warm up to the idea of befriending you. If you're feeling confident about your sense of humour, try specifying which type of cancer exactly you wish your interlocutor had. Go for the most hilarious bits of human anatomy - if it's below the belt and above the hips, you can't really go wrong. This provides a much-needed personal touch and encourages the other person to like you even more for making such an effort.

2. Family matters

According to 4 well-sourced reports, up to 77% percent of Hearthstone players suffer from regular domestic abuse. The life of a dedicated card gamer is tough, which is of course indicated by their apparent willingness to go through 25 ranks of Corridor Creeper - would a truly happy person subject themselves to that? Somehow I don't think so.

Therefore, it is considered a polite gesture to passionately wish death on your future buddy's family as early in the conversation as possible. The compassion you show this way enables a long-term trust and understanding not easily achieved even in a Quest Mage mirror match. Don't be afraid of long, detailed descriptions: your new acquaintance will only appreciate the grisly details of what you wish would happen to their, quote-unquote, dearly beloved.

3. Direct dialogue

A real friend never shies away from brutal honesty. Everyone needs someone in their life who would tell them exactly where they went wrong, how they went wrong and what to do with the resulting mess. A strong and lasting friendship is built out of these open and instructive conversations just like Bonemare is built out of horse bones, despair and balance.

Make sure you recall every misplay your future friend committed while accidentally beating your refined meta deck. Make sure to point out everything wrong with their own deck, such as not being on Heartpwn and including that specific tech card you've eventually lost to. Make sure to specifically attract their attention to the worst mistake possible - having lethal from a topdeck. They will appreciate the honest criticism and the implied advice, especially if you use some explicit words to accentuate your well-made points for maximum impact.

Another important aspect of a direct approach to dialogue is not being afraid of suggesting radical measures while solving your new friend's numerous problems. One of those measures is, of course, encouraging suicide. Telling your new acquaintance to kill themselves serves as a wake-up call for them to actually go and build a proper Razakus Priest instead of deluding themselves by trying to have fun. Life is not fun. Good friends are there to remind people of that simple fact.

4. Wrapping up

Finally, you have to remember to show your future best buds that nothing in life comes without a price, should they somehow need an extra reminder after all this time of playing Hearthstone. Up until this point you were the one who worked for this friendship: you made all the heartwarming jokes, you showed all the compassion, you gave all the sound advice. Your new friend only took and gave nothing back, as if they were a slightly less overpowered version of the meta-defining legendary King Togwaggle. To fix that and actually force them to make a little bit of effort to start the most glorious relationship in their sorry lives, unfriend them immediately after the initial conversation. The impression you manage to leave should be enough to make the potential friend frantically search for your Battletag and add you back as soon as possible, and if they turn out to be ungrateful enough not to do that - well, I guess your other 199 friends will be more than ready to comfort you after such an unpleasant experience. After all, every online game has its number of jerks. Sadly, even following this guide to the letter is not a guarantee you're going to avoid them.
