It also counters lifecoach and trump.

True story; I tried watching a Lifecoach stream once, because I'd heard good reviews of him. I gave up when he roped on turn 1 with no 1 cost cards in his hand.

I'm sad the saltmeiser no longer streams.

I want to play in Japanese because I bet the Japanese voice actors are awesome, but the Asian languages are written in Asian so I can't read which one is Japanese. Is anyone here knowledgeable enough to tell me whether to pick the first, second, or third option?

popsofctown · Post Post #2534 (ISO) » Wed Oct 07, 2015 3:18 pm

Wait, there is no Japanese

I feel ripped off

You can't tell Japanese Chinese and Korean apart?

popsofctown · Post Post #2536 (ISO) » Thu Oct 08, 2015 7:34 am

I know. I'm awful.

Aren't they moving japan to the asia server or something? If they're officially expanding to japan i assume they'd implement japanese language, right

So, I picked up on playing this again for a bit.
A)I'm no good really (as in peaking at 15 so far)
B)Are there any people here who play on europe?

Hotform finished second at the Americas Champiomship and will be going to worlds at BlizzCon!

Been watching him stream for about a year and always felt he was just one event from breaking through to the top. Super happy for him.

Errantparabola · Post Post #2543 (ISO) » Tue Oct 13, 2015 3:36 am

Out of curiousity, how would you describe his stream? Im looking to discover some streamers that i havent seen before

I think it's gonna be a separate client. Like, so they can arrange buttons in ways that makes Japanese sense, I bet, like putting you arena card choices to the left of the "start playing" button?

I noticed in korean/chinese whichever asian language that was, the arabic numerals seemed larger, which seemed like a similar though less dramatic localization choice.

They'll nerf Warsong Commander to say "Give Charge Minions +1 Attack".

Isn't there a new client that does your draft for you now?
That kind of seems odd... I feel like drafting should be a skill-based part of the game as well as something that isn't optimized, but with different strategies and drafting styles.
Maybe I'm being too close-minded, but it seems rather mechanical to me

popsofctown · Post Post #2547 (ISO) » Tue Oct 13, 2015 9:12 am

That and netdecking both kinda water the game down, I think.

Netdecking can give you a perfect 100% match of what to play, though, you can see what a famous streamer was running 10 minutes ago and play it, while the Arena client gets close to telling you what AWDCTA would pick, but can't tell you exactly what he would pick, since he can't possibly get all the nuances of changing valuations into the software (although there's lots of logic built into it like, you only need N 3 drops, you only need N silences, etc, that gets as close as possible)

So Arena is still the less corrupted one.

Sadly you probably have to play a whole lot of Arena to do better than exactly obeying a guide from a player as good as AWDCTA or any other drafter who has put in hours upon hours.

Woo! Fuck you, Patron!

Sudo_Nym · Post Post #2549 (ISO) » Tue Oct 13, 2015 10:28 am

Not that I'm sad to see Patron get dialed down, except that "dialed down" means "completely gutted". Is the deck even viable without Warsong Commander? And does Warrior have a second viable deck without Patron? It's basically down to just Control Warrior, since Bolster Warrior never happened.
