this has nothing to do with the topic of the video but i just had this idea: they should create a "random" portrait like the one they have for cards, that would allow when you chose it for a class to get a random portrait each game for the class you're playing (chosen from the pool of portraits you possess)

Hey, what do you think will happen with the basic cards ? I believe it was said that they would all go to your collection as you get access to the wild format as a new player, and that their golden / non golden versions would be craftable or disenchantable. Do you think players with all of their classes at level 60 will be able to disenchant their golden basic cards and get 13000 dust ? Or is it me who did not understand ? Because the only time something alike happened with basic cards (when priest basic cards went to HoF), we were able to uncraft their golden versions and get 50 dust

Yeah, they did not touch on the basic set. It will be safe to disenchant all the golden versions of the cards. I'm pretty sure Blizz said the basic set cards will be made commons after the change to the core set.

Blizzard straight up lied to us. They said "Classic and Basic cards will always be usable in Standard." The day they said that, I used all of my dust to craft my favorite golden Classic cards. It was around 100k dust that I had saved up over the years. Now I don't get to use those cards in Standard. Blizzard needs to, at least partially, compensate people in my position. They probably won't help me though because they're acting like they never said anything about Classic cards staying in Standard, and the community only seems to care if the game is more friendly for ftp players. If you care about people in my position, please submit this to Hearthstone's Blizzcon Q&A with me.

I agree I think it's a confusing mess and it punishes long term players..unless the 'new' format makes classic cards worthwhile. Blizzard are desperate to attract new players and get old players back but sometimes the steps they take seem more like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. I used to play Magic the Gathering and I quit constructed play because it was an infinite look of chasing combo decks. I played exclusively constructed format..except for the local gaming club. You could turn up there with a larger decks and only one of each card. This made for some great games. You had to use the cards you drew to the best of your ability. By limiting the number of rare/legendary cards you also limited the advantage of players with access to all the cards. As these guys point out...nothing in these changes makes playing Standard or Wild or whatever they want to call them any easier for new players. Hell if I was a new player what options do I have....1) play classic ..nope I need to actually own these cards 2) Standard..nope at its peak there are 6 sets and 6 mini sets in play..which really is comical and 3) Wild or is it Open...I don't know about beginners but it's so broken I'm not prepared to play it. I know this analysis is not perfect but of all the people I got into Hearthstone with I'm the only one left and I don't see any of them rejoining based on the smoke and mirrors Blizzard are performing here....and they have just totally made my Classic collection close to worthless..which I'm not very happy about.

Thanks for your opinion! :]

Disenchated wild format a while ago, biggest regret of my life so far. Never ever again.

[@negan3417]

rip

[@Ex0rz]

Yeah im only disenchanting crap wild cards that was never used anyway. Always a good idea to keep the better ones... Well after starting a run of duels i realized i had disenchanted a card i needed for it and decided to recraft it. But thats ok since you can only have one of each card in duels anyway.

[@LucasFernandezNimes]

Tarde 2 años en conseguir todas las cartas del set clasico (jugando+$$$) me duele perderlo por un puñado de cartas de wild. Seguro mañana cuando salga tendre que estar feliz como los demas pero soy viejo no me gustan los cambios mas cuando tocan mis cimientos. Espero que Blizzard encuentre otra manera para revitalizar los metas y que al final de cada año nos podamos quedar con las copias de esas cartas para ir llenando de apoco una collecion de Wild de manera FreeToPlay. Saludos

[@adriantovias8681]

Yo también gasté mucho en classic cuando empeze a jugar en Ungoro. Pero hay que ver lo bueno, podemos usarlas en classic. Es mejor no tirarlas y jugar ese modo. Yo digo qué hay que ver esto de una manera general, los cambios mantienen el juego vivo y atraen nuevos jugadores dándole más popularidad al juego. Lo bueno que el hearrhstone va para muchos mas años de vida, he gastado demasiado aquí jaja.

I hope they make it so that Core Set is also included in Duels for free, so new players can always jump into Duels, while not feeling like they're absolutely going to get stomped by literally everything and everyone. And also I hope for that because, while I'm not a fan of Duels, and don't play it, I do play it when my Missions require me to play it (and win), so adding Core Set to it would make those missions less of a hassle to achieve.

[@HearthstoneMathematics]

Perhaps Duels will not contain a Core set, only a Legacy set. :/

[@LuxuriaU]

Really torn in disenchanting the old Ysera since she is going to be on refund apparently.

[@dagclips]

Thanks for the good video!

[@somerandomdude3476]

What I don't get about the new mode: If... a) There will be no exp reward, nobody will play it b) there is some actually good reward, everybody will play this mode and since no nerfs can be added, everybody will play the best performing deck. There will be no evolvement of a new meta and therefore players will get bored incredibly fast.

[@HearthstoneMathematics]

I'm sure you'll get XP in Classic format.

[@kilan4978]

Isn't the new format "Classic hearthstone" where the game is set back to June 2014? I'm certain this is the new game mode

[@okayyako5047]

no they confirmed on twitter that classic mode isn't the new gamemode

[@Maxran50]

It would be nice if HS creates wild dust and standard dust. Wild dust you can only craft wild cards. Standard dust you can craft wild and standard cards. You can change exp from archievements to get wild dust or old card backs.

[@Jarczenko]

Nope

[@haydothepotato1623]

Is legacy not the new game mode?

[@The420ovi]

Nope it's basically kind of the new wild set as a whole called

[@gugugugu3371]

Legacy will be a "new" set of cards that i believe will replace classic packs and it will contain cards from the classic set, the basic set and hall of famed cards. The game format that will be added is "classic format", in which you'll be able to play vanilla hearthstone, with 0 patch and 0 expansion, with unnerfed classic cards (4 mana leeroy, etc.). I agree they could have made it clearer

[@ELMolliez]

So dust all ? Or partially ? Mmmmm when is the rotation happening ?

[@Ex0rz]

They need to remove the legendary card status from it to make it less tempting to try to disenchant it :D

My guess would be that whizbang Will be in legacy

I see lorewalker cho on the list, for me who just used him to kick asses in the wild diamond rank ladder for a several times I feel offended.

[@michaelnurse9089]

I have reached Legend a couple of times with a an aggro-ish druid deck containing Nat Pagle, Mukla and Tinkmaster Overspark. They all carried their weight nicely but new cards keep coming that make a better version of the deck without them... :-(

@@michaelnurse9089 Wow, a real professional here. I'm so puny before you.

[@metaldevilsaur2261]

It's been the hell of a ride . And fun for the most of it . But the day rotation hits i am disenchanting everything , spam craft spam disenchant till 0 dust are left . I draw the line . 1)What they are doing with core/classic/basic/legacy/whatever is a mistake i can't forgive . Yes , classic needed changes .PERMANENTLY promoting 10 cards from wild to classic and PERMANENTLY demoting 10 cards from classic to HOF every expansion , till the classic set becomes viable was the way to go . No core set rotating every year . 2)It's raining new modes and new modes means less attention to Standard/Wild . The only interestind mode could be 2v2 . Yeah 2v2 will happen one day , but sorry not sorry , Battlegrounds , duels , classic are dead on arrival modes that mean less resources for standard/wild . Another mistake i can't forgive 3)Too many cards each expansion . And always the ~60% of them are dead cards . The game doesn't need new 135+35 cards every expansion . Each expansion needs : 2 class common 2 class rare 1 class epic 1 class legandary for 10 classes meaning 60 class cards and 8 neutral common 8 neutral rare 4 neutral epic 4 neutral legendary for a total of 24 neutral cards . Resulting in 84 cards per expansion but ALL PROPERLY playtested so they can be meta material , all having a place to old and new deck archetypes . Of course i also mean NO MORE minisets ... 4)Last but not least the community for normalising all the wrongdoings of Blizz . For accepting and normalizing all their mistakes . For demanding the change of meta every 2 months . When in other card games the players cry from joy when a deck stays meta for 1year+ ,close to 2 years in some cases , with only small deck teching of less than 5-6 cards . For not realising that the game suffers from too much content , just because the 60% of the cards are useless . We need less cards but more meta viable cards P.S It's so damn funny that the only step in the right direction was the new rewards track (after the changes of course)

[@fabricioneves5947]

Could I return to play ? Blizzard wouldn't try make me suffer to buy packs ?

[@animo358]

So just dust the Classic collection. Got it. Battlegrounds aside. No ones played any of the new formats. So get your dust while you can.

[@RickyMuzakki]

You'll regret when you have no cards for wild, tavern brawl, classic, duels and new mode. Ofc if you're Battleground only player you won't care

[@animo358]

classic mode should have amazing rewards for me to not dust it all

[@yuenhai]

I'm a day 1 player and I STILL don't have all the cards from the classic set. A testament to how expensive this game is. You either spend $$$, or A LOT of time. Either way, you have to spend. If you just want to be a casual player and enjoy the game every now and then whenever time permits, you're shit out of luck

[@harrydean1020]

Blizzards suddenly changed the basic rule of the game: classic cards never rotate. How its even possible now to say what and how we should do with our cards while blizzards could break all the system again so easily??? We have no information about their plans and they we'll certainly make fools out of us again in a while...

[@RickyMuzakki]

But the game will be fresh and even more f2p friendly for new players with core set rotating and given for free each year

[@harrydean1020]

@@RickyMuzakki I dont think the game is gonna be cheaper. The core set mostly is the same trash as old basic cards. Most of them wont see any play. I like idea of core set actually, but I hate the way blizzards implement it. Players used to craft classic cards (even in gold) only because it was a stable investment. And now all this cards are thrown away from standard. We lost our dust. Blizzards could have intoduced the core set and gave dust for rotated classic cards. That could be both great for players and good for game. But instead we got tempory core set cards and lose tons of dust. Thats not a fair deal. So many players feel that they have been cheated.

Holomancer, what you may say is true to get old players like me to come back. But I have my doubts, the generosity level of Blizzard is NOT like of Riot as seen in Runeterra. Additionally, don't forget the RNG, which remains hated.
