Yeah, but at some point you have to make a game that doesn't only cater to newbs, because most newbs stop being newbs.

The fact that there's no way to obtain Classic cards without buying packs or crafting cards is making me want to quit.

I started what, six months ago, maybe? And now that GvG is the only reward set available from Arena, I basically have no way of obtaining Legendaries that I need, and constructed is largely pointless with consistently underpowered decks.

I think built-in stats would intimidate new players. Blizzard trying to make a newb-friendly game is a really good business idea imo.


But... I am a new player. Plus I'm not saying you need to inundate by default, but just provide an advanced stats page or an api that lets third parties do so

You can make several Legend-worthy decks without legendaries. Hunter, Zoo, Druid, Mech-mage, Shaman, Rogue, Priest come to mind.

There is a 3rd party program called Hearthstone Tracker for tracking w/l if that helps.

Still a noob, but isnt it possible to craft those if you dont wanna spend money on classic packs?

Klazam: crafting a single legendary is 1600 dust. So, assuming you need even just two or three legendaries, you're a few dozen packs behind on dust at least.

And glork did mention crafting in his post.

By the way, what's your battle id? Just realized you never shared.
don't you feel silly now?

i have this on my desktop, but one of the reasons i started playing this was I got an ipad, and the ability to play from lots of locations (that is to say: the bathroom) is a major appeal to the game.

Is there a spreadsheet or a post with everyone's battle id or something.

If so, why isn't it on the first post :(

If not, zoraster, why haven't you created one yet :(

I think it's because they suck and need 10 legendaries to compensate for sucking.

in other news I went 5-0 with a deck that was pretty ok for no epics/legendaries then lost the next 3 matches T_T.
I'll give you a moment to let that sink in

I got my first legendary about a week ago (Iron Juggernaut). It's really fun, but it's kinda gimmicky. One time I played it twice in a row and dealt 20 damage at the start of the opponent's next turn, though. :P

I have a few legendaries.... Gold Sylvanas, Rag, Tirion, and like two baddies that I should probably disenchant.

Okay, so Sneed's Old Shredder, or Loatheb in MechaMage while I'm trying to grind Arena for Sylvanas?

I got Gazlowe recently so basically I converted my shitty mage deck into spare-part deck with spells. Sucks balls vs priests because Gaz has 3 attack.

Also fuck brawl. 1 v 6 minions and his Firelord Legendary survived. What are the odds. (1/7)
