How do i go back? Where is Hearthstone classic?
>lazily shit out "Wild" mode where every card, including phased-out ones, are usableThe only way is for players to create a community restricting themselves to certain card sets. But that still has a problem - you have to participate in whatever horseshit currently exists to be able to get the cards you want out of those sets. So what really needs to happen is a bootleg client.
i'm sad
>>722652112All you can do is watch old Kripp videos.
>>722654117I've been hit by nostalgia hit from his Salt Compilations. hours on hours of salt, nothing but salt>LAAALLLAAALLLL>HOW IS HE 0:1?? THAT GUY'S DECK WAS CRAZY>Answer. Answer. Answer! Crazy combo, crazy card!> Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh>Hey Scotty! Cheezus man.>Oh, going second again! oh, against the priest again!>Can I stop GETTING FUCKED GETTING FUCKED GETTING FUCKED GETTING FUCKED ON RNG?
>>722654117>>722654352>Zoomers have e-celeb nostalgiaLmao. Kys fucking retarded zoomies
>>722654409keep it to yourself, fagalso using zoomies instead of newfags is a gigantic red flag, mr. zoomer.
>>722654117weird, a kripp video that was 9 years old got recommended to me last night and i've watched a few this morning, max comfy
>>722652112they jumped the shark during the first update imo, fuck that paid shit right off the bat
>>722652112I do think they'll do HS classic at some pointHS numbers must be in the toilet
>>722655639I think they already did that, actually. I didn't even know about it until I was perusing the wiki to find the "FOR THE MAJORDOMO" voice line, so it was clearly poorly marketed.
>>722654668Naxxramas cards were a legitimately good addition. GvG had a mostly inoffensive version of mechanics with which they would soon after begin destroying the game. It was itself still a good addition.
hearthstone was a game I loved to watch, but hated to play (fun for an hour or two every couple days before the RNG started grinding me down)I probably spent $1k on this shitty gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2N23Q26N3I
>>722657151why did you spend money? I never had to spend money and could make any deck I wanted, and I played for many years. I wasn't even particularly dilligent, just played when I felt like itmust be nice to be a gamedev and have players like you around
>>722652112they did that already
>>722654352dropping those excuses
>>722657372I never paid for cards but trying to earn packs was a shitfest of getting stomped by superior decks at rank 25. Just legitimately unfun trying to get quests completed because for most of them you couldn't make incremental progress while losing. It's why I didn't stick with the game.
>>722654409Youtube is 20 years old, expect this to keep coming up from now on also you're too old to understand that there are plenty of people here where 9 years ago was when they were children
>>722654117I still watch Chump, despite not playing hearthstone, his dry humor is great.
>I want to go back to the goo- oh never mind
>>722652112There literally was a "classic" matchmaking mode that was just that, you could only build a deck with the cards from the old expansions, except it was discontinued because no one played it
>>722658847ah yes the classic case of "we want arena shooters!"
they nuked the mode for a twist mode that is even deader. purely since there was a small amount of people who only played classic and never needed to buy packs, the game is completely dead by this point.
>>722658847>>722659073The people who would be interested had been driven away enough as to not see news of it.
>>722654117https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx1JyWyLfbUHere's a blast from the past.
It happens in every card game.
>>722659623
>>722659386classic hearthstone was a solved gamemode and the people who were interested did play it, for a whole week before they got bored.
>>722658847Everyone who would have played already got driven out years prior as their favorite lists slowly got hamstringed by nerfs to accommodate newer cards or power-scaled out of relevance. Purely anecdotally, I left sometime around when they bumped Firey War Axe to 3 or something that put my Control Warrior in the grave and never looked back. Piece of shit game.
>>722659935despite nostalgia googles, the mode wasn't good enough to make the rounds.you think you do but you don't.
>>722657526>I don't think you can play arena much better than I can>Yet drolling noobs will still win>>722659730 I'd rather play solved game instead of games that have infinite resources out of the ass
>>722652575is that another one of those "baby's first card game and he is mad about basic shit" things, like it was with standard rotation? have you never seen eternal formats too?
>>722658573this tripe was a year and a half after release faggot
>>722660110>I'd rather play solved game instead of games that have infinite resources out of the assno you don't, evidently
>>722660037I'm not dumb enough to hop back to a card game that's already proven it will kill my deck for the crime of being viable too long.
>>722660283you got exactly what you wanted, classic cards as they were. bad excuse.
>>722660113What the fuck are you talking about?
>>722660037they took it away because it's better than the current sloppa. the art alone carried it, the art direction of nu-hs is an intermediate artist tier disgrace
>>722660362I wasn't going into Brode's roach motel. Not happening.
>>722652112Classic wasn't popular + they had no way to monetize it so it got shitcanned
>>722661501>I WANT TO PLAY CLASSIC HEARTHSOTNE>NOOOO WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO INSTALL HEARTHSTONE
>>722654117What's your fav Hearthstone video bros?https://youtu.be/bwDNQTnHHJs

>>722652112Who else remembers Jewful (RIP)
>>722659935RIP Patron WarriorRIP HandlockRIP Oil RogueOil Rogie and Patron Warrior were already on borrowed time since their staple cards were part of expansions, but man, that Molten Giant nerf really hurt Handlock because Blizzard was really mad at Freeze Mage for being fun in a way Blizzard didn't like (and they wound up basically deleting Ice Block anyway). But man, they did not need to do what they did to Warsong Commander or Blade Flurry. That was unforgivable.
>>722652112>HS classic>they remove it for modes they end up killing off anywaystake me back bros. HS classic ladder was the best
for me, it was Silence Priestwhich actually got stronger for a bit, but then it went back to obsolescence real quick
All collectable card games are shit. The second any game is competitive it will be fixed. It doesn't matter if the game has 100 cards of 10K cards. The autistic fanbase will optimize the fun out of the gameThe yu-gi-oh anime lied. You think you will have this cool game where you can find cards that no one else has seen, that if you like bugs you can play the bug deck and people will have no idea how to deal with your bugs. No card game, including yu-gi-oh is like that. I wouldn't have even tried this slop if I didn't get tricked by the yu-gi-oh anime as a kid.
The state of the game really is sorry.>community and dev team were hollowed out>game constantly crashes on tablet>balance and powercreep is completely unsalvageable to fix>duels removed, mercenaries and twist flopped I can go on and on. The decline of the game started around 2018. Last decent year of hearthstone was in 2022 when sunken city released. I finally stopped playing in 2024 and have no regrets. The only reason i kept playing was sunk cost. I switched to tft, its more fun and free. HS needs some sort of 2.0 reset to ever recover, upgrade the engine and remove all the bloat. Loved the time i had with the game but its just dead
>>722655639They are
>>722655994They didn't even add the old arena back, fuck them
hs went to shit when they started nerfing classic cards, i stopped playing before kara expansion
>>722665082>3 mana fiery waraxe So fucking retarded lolNow theres so much powercreep all those nerfs are reset and 95% of classic cards are unplayable
>card cames at the beginning. >turns are + 1 ~ 3 points towards victory (You need 20 to win) >or -1 ~ 3 to enemy victory if you're control >card games exists for a few years >first turn is +1 * 5 *(5 /3) *76 to victory It's like no one knows how to make a card game and everybody is stupid but me.
>>722664335for me it was secret face hunter, dropped in karazan and one expac later still goodthen it disappeared>>722662492really sad, apparently he was depressed for as long he could think
>>722658847FUCKING LIES!!!!!!The classic mode was HIDDEN behind a small icon that you had to click. Nobody fucking knew it was there.
>>722664648I agree completely the gameplay doesn't fulfil the fantasy.
$160 please
>>722664648Any game with competitive matchmaking will plateau at a forced 50% winrate for your deck, wether meta-gaming or random cards put together If it doesn't have competitive matchmaking, you will reach your state of solved game pretty fast.
>>722667048Hearthstone runs at 100% now because of all this shit they've added to slow down my game. Fucking unbearable.
Speaking on other game modes, whatever happened to that Mercenaries mode they made? I remember them shilling it and then never heard fuck-all about it again. Even Battlegrounds still comes up occasionally.
I would play any version of hearthstone up to the old gods patch daily.
>>722667745It released, barely got any updates, and officially got abandoned less than a year and a half later.It was a game mode nobody asked for or wanted that also wasn't very fun, pretty much dead on arrival.
>>722666329You also need to click the same icon if you want to switch between playing Wild and playing StandardI don't hear anyone complaining that Wild is abandoned and no one plays it
>>722667745It existed to siphon cash from whales. That was It's purpose.
>>722667964My favorite card. One of reasons I played HS was all this random shit what could happen
>>722668361pyroblasting myself in the face with that little guy were some of my favorite moments playing.
I just want to play Tempo Mage with cards I choose to put in my deck. For the last 5 years Mages archetype has been discover a deck of overcosted cards.
>>722652112I wish there was a mode without 0 RNG, even the card draw.
>>722654117this nigga only plays the mode designated for farming cards
>>722656669>GvG had a mostly inoffensive version of mechanics with which they would soon after begin destroying the gameMechs maybe, but Dr. Boom terrorizing Standard for however long it was was a sign that the mechanics were destroying the game right out of the gate.
>the old reynad tinder streamshearthstone streamers were true trailblazers
>>722669976I still remember when Reynad did one of the first TTS streams. Fucking comedy gold.https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZsCnLqY8iB0
