Yogg went to an auto-skip hero to an auto-pick for me, lol My first game with him, got an early Brann as well as a bounceback Darkmoon prize, so I got a total of 8 spins. Oh, and I was playing Kalec dragons. Easy 1st, even with misplays all around from running out of time and full hands.

He's got a strong early game that can keep him going until you get some deathrattle synergy. He can force taunt and health onto things like a right side health imp without needing to fish for the taunt guy, or double the attack of a left cleave beast/mech. Most importantly the buddy will double the attack of the leftmost minion before summoning the 1/1s, so you can safely place him left of them too. Teregosa, parrot, and KT makes it silly. He also nullifies most divine shields. And he can change strats depending on who he's going against. He's pretty good. Disargeria fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Jan 26, 2022 |

Well Buddies are officially a 'Win More' mechanic by the look of it. A couple of wins means your buddy is online quicker because victories are a big chunk of the meter, which means you just keep winning. Likewise, losses mean you get screwed very quickly. So yeah, that makes this mode even more ridiculously lopsided!

I think it definitely benefits going minion heavy rather than upgrade heavy early on. The new wall going from 4 to 5 supports that as well as people are forced to build midrange compositions for longer so it's easier to catch up. I do actually like the idea of making the game more spread out over the tiers but yeah the power level between buddies does seem like an issue. Some are a lot better than others and will really swing things early doors.

ccubed posted:Tarecgosa is so busted with so many heroes now. Retaining immune while attacking from the Illidan buddy is nuts. Just won a game with Scabbs soley on the strength of getting Reno’s buddy and golding two Tarecgosa. I also got like 15 buddies over the game, most of which did nothing at all because they relied on hero powers. Scabbs hero power never showed me a buddy, exempt? I don't understand Vandar Stormpike? So like after a few rounds of tokens dying you've got some a couple 5-10 attack 20-30 health cards. And your opponents have... 50/50 elementals or something.  I didn't lose a round after getting my buddy. 11 win streak, finished with 36 health. BG is like a completely different game now. Elysium fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Jan 26, 2022 |

Vandar's "promote" hero power in duels seems a little overpowered to me. Although I guess its quite early on to judge. But "Give an minion +1/+1 and Rush, poisonous, taunt, windfury, divine shield, or stealth" for 1 gold....having just played a few you need to have a lot of board clear in hand if you even want a chance to stop that boulder

For anyone who cares, I bought both levels of the mercenaries training camp. After training for the max of 25 hours, my rare mercs gained 23 levels. So the camp basically gives you a zero-to-maxed guy after a couple days. It's actually useful for me since they seem to have completely removed bots from pvp so grinding levels with a team of three lvl 30s and three lvl 1s isn't an option anymore.

Seems like a pretty good way to level up characters for people who don't want to play Mercs but do want to be kinda ready for future events or something.

Yeah but when you're like me and you have like 3 Mercs at lvl20+ and the majority at lvl1 and no real desire to play the game, 100 gold to have at everyone at lvl30 in a couple of months or so means I can dabble in playing the game if I want at some point in the future without some tedious grind first that I'll never want to do. Obviously coins are a whole other thing and Mercs will never be strong enough without them but having a bunch of lvl30s should be good for single player content at least.

Taracgosa (the dragon that keeps enchantments cast on it during combat) is utterly, completely dementedly, wonderously broken in Battlegrounds. As in, people have gotten its attack so high that it causes the variable storing it to overflow and flake out the rest of the game (someone reported healing enemies). https://www.reddit.com/r/BobsTavern/comments/sdjwgf/tarecgosa_damage_overflow_32bit_gone_wrong_starts/ If you want to get in on this before Blizzard removes it from the game (they have to, it *completely* breaks Battlegrounds) here's the most efficient way to break the game over your knee: - Hero: Bru'kan - Tribe: Dragons - Play as normal (even without Tarecgosa Bru'kan is pretty damned strong). Get dragons, level up your buddy. - Once you get Tarecgosa, put it on the right side of your minions. It will remember every elemental cast. - Get another Tarecgosa? Move the first one to the left side, move the new one to the right side. - Try to get the promo drake (dragon that buffs neighbors during combat), but honestly you don't even need it. - If you want to add insult to injury: have a Tarecgosa parked on the left side. Every turn, its damage will double, then double again. This is how someone got it to overflow a 32-bit variable. Divine shield it for extra fun. Only way you can lose is to poison/divine shield (George/Murlocs is pretty unstoppable -- it was before but buddies giving a combat boost on every divine shield cast just compound it). Otherwise, enjoy the disco inferno of all the elemental casts going off. Other ways to break the game with Tarecgosa: - Ilidan: makes Tarecgosa invulnerable. Yep. Only for the first two attacks, but still! https://twitter.com/MinderRoots/status/1486129673365078018 - Tavish: his buddy (the crab) adds, eventually, double the value of the initial gunshot to its neighbors during combat. Which scales. So that combo is also very broken. (Bru'kan is easier to dominate the early game, though.) Patch is coming in a few days, so enjoy the insanity now.

kripp already found a recursive loop with secrets, macaw, and baron cool detail: golden secrets create golden minions, so a macaw that is constantly being rezzed with redemption created from the golden secret buddy, comes back to trigger the deathrattle all over again and is now golden it also meant that, due to the animations, Kripp and his opponent never get a chance to shop again

RatHat posted:Match starts at 4:22:50 in this VOD Man, they really didn't play test this did they? No way the golden secrets generating golden units was intended, since the attack and health is the same for the non-golden unit, and the animation speed is horrible. Yogg has the same issue when he gets the hero power result on the wheel. Dog has a video when he plays a golden buddy with a golden brann, and his hero power goes off 4 times every time he hero powers, taking about 30 seconds to finish. The golden wheel spin is around 15:15 in the video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K6Fqg1Mhm-s It doesn't help how boring and bad some of the buddies are. Someone posted average placement for each hero on reddit. There are a few surprises, but most are pretty predictable based on how bad the buddies for the low ranking heroes are. https://i.redd.it/lzn1qd0tw3e81.png

I expect that a lot of people are still trying to go to tier 3 on 5 gold; doing that fucks your percentage towards your first buddy, and Galewing needs that to get strong quickly.

Trying to make a new Wild deck shows it as banned, Standard Demon Seed Quest Warlock is still oppressive in Wild though. Did not know you could run banned cards in Wild so long as you build the deck 100% Standard.

They said the change to Annihilation Battlemaster in BG was just text only, and didn't change how it worked, but that's not true. You used to be able to take damage from Wrath Weaver with Mal'ganis on the board and that would count as damage taken for Battlemaster, and now it does not.

Galewing's buddy feels bad because he triggers at end of turn rather than start of turn, and all 3 flightpaths are odd numbers of turns that trigger at turn start so you always feel like you're "wasting" progress with it out.
