Can we get our beloved mobile game a little freaking more optimised for PC?

Posted: 29 Mar 2018 06:54 AM PDT

I have an iPad and it is like 4-5 years old.

I also have a PC that can run any game on ultra quality, 1 year old.

Guess on which device HS loads faster? From some point, game started freezing everytime I open the friends list for the 1-st time after logging in. This just feels so stupid that you get a better performance on an ancient device that on a modern PC.

Blizzard changed Legend ladder randomly and it is ruining players chances of making playoffs and winning at least $1000

Posted: 28 Mar 2018 02:08 PM PDT

Hello I am Qwerty97, a competitive hearthstone player (Currently rank 5 Legend), and there was a huge random and unannounced change to the legend ladder system. I am making this post to hopefully help get it changed before the month ends.

Explanation of HCT Tour and Points:

This is the last month to qualify for Winter Playoffs, so there are many players competing to be top 64 in points in their region. For those of you who don't know, you get HCT points by ending the month with high ranks on the ladder system. There is a pretty close estimate to what the minimum points needed for each region is so players know what they are trying to finish, whether it is top 1000 or top 25. The main thing is they knew what they were aiming for and they played this month to reach this goal. Some people try to get high ranks and stay up there for the whole month while others will just play near the end of the season to try to get that spot and the points. So now there are some players who are right where they want to be and will try to hold that rank for the rest of the month while others will play for a top spot.

The Change:

Yesterday there was a change with the ranking system where now you go up much less ranks than you did previously. This just happened pretty much overnight with no explanation or anything. A few days ago I was climbing and If I won a game at around rank 99 I would jump to 76. Now that is not the case.

Here is an example of the rank jumps from high level players from twitter:

Zlsjs: https://twitter.com/zlsjs_HS/status/979062968418820096 (Going from 292-283 and 283-271 with wins)

Chunchunner: https://twitter.com/zlsjs_HS/status/979062968418820096 (Going from rank 41-31 with an 8-1 record)

Casie_HS: https://twitter.com/Casie_HS/status/979041794821361667

SwaggyG: https://twitter.com/SwaggyG_HS/status/979012809806700544

MrYagut:https://twitter.com/Mryagut/status/978967333459976198

Blitzchung: https://twitter.com/blitzchungHS/status/978622920015560705

This is just a few examples and if someone wants me to add more just PM me them and I'll add them

Now I went up 23 ranks from a win at rank 99 and zlsjs went up 21 ranks with two wins at almost triple my rank. For Chuchunner if you go 8-1 from rank 41 Legend you should end up top 10 legend. There is clearly something wrong here.

People may think this isn't an issue because it changed for everyone but it is a huge problem.

The Problem

So right now there are players, like me, sitting right where they want to be at a high rank because they got there a few days ago. This is great for us! Now we don't have to worry about people passing us since they have to play 50+ games at a 70% winrate to get top 10 from rank 150!(I don't know actual numbers but it is probably close to that). So since I got rank 1 a few days ago and then stopped I decayed 4 ranks over the next two days while everything was still normal. Now since the change I have not moved down a rank at all. People are even saying they are going up in rank by not playing because whoever plays will just fall unless they have an insanely high winrate.

The issue is now those people who needed, lets say top 100 and started playing at rank 40 two days ago because they were afraid of decaying out of top 100 before the end of the season. It would only take them 2-3 wins to get to top 20. They ended up not doing so well and went down to rank 300 and decided they were going to climb back up the next day. The next day they get on hearthstone and try to climb and they start going up 10-15 each win instead of the normal 30-40. Now it takes around 3-4 times as long to get to get back to where they were than it would have if they just climbed back up to 40 the day before. Coming to the end of the season that is a big deal. There is currently 3.5 days left in the month and it now the amount of time they have to dedicate to playing has increased significantly. Also for the person who decided to play to increase their rank so they wouldn't decay they are upset because if they knew this change was happening they could have just not played at rank 40 and they would likely have held top 100. Now this person might not make get enough points to qualify for playoffs, which they spent the last 3 months working towards, because of a last minute random change.

And here is a breakdown of the prizes that they now cannot get: https://imgur.com/a/UpUZX

They would have made at least $1000 for qualifying and had the chance to win more and even be invited to the championship. Now because of some bad timing they are unable to qualify. This is what many players are facing right now.

Here are some tweets showing how many competitive players feel about the situation:

Windello: https://twitter.com/Windello_HS/status/979003358542553088

There are definitely a lot more people complaining but this was just what I found my twitter feed

The Goal

It might be too late for Blizzard to do something because a lot of people have already lost time to climb up, but a change back now would be better than nothing at all. I hope with enough awareness of the issue it will make them change it back. It is good for me that it exists since it means I probably hold top 10 but it is more important that everyone is given a fair chance to qualify. They could have done this change at the beginning of the new season or at least announced that it was happening before the change was implemented so people could devote their time in a different way. This is really extremely unfair and for some of these players hearthstone is their livelyhood and losing the chance to win thousands of dollars and being unable to do anything about it is a big deal.

What if Cubelock cards were random clickbaits?

Posted: 28 Mar 2018 04:33 PM PDT

This is a spinoff of the most iconic Cubelock cards as if they were pure clickbait memes.

Yes, it is what Cubelock looks like after spending hours and hours facing it. Number 5 is amazing BTW.
