I am somewhat curious what they do with like Valeera, who has *nothing* to her character. But yeah, I was also baffled by the decision to not only play Jaina's story completely straight, but to highlight the period of Jaina's characterization that very few people seemed to like. That's actually why I bought the new Jaina skin because I prefer the older version of her character, but they just whiffed so god drat hard on it that it's embarrassing to use.

Yeah the whole "I've learned to be an unforgiving warmonger seemed weird". Maybe future characters advance the story from that point?

Semper Fudge posted:I won't be surprised if the next Book of Heroes is delayed and retooled because people seem to hate it across the board. I just think it's weird how they didn't include a hard mode this time. The normal battles in other similar expansions were typically about as easy as this but nobody complained because hard mode was there to offer a good challenge.

previous SP content had replayability even on normal mode where you could try them with different gimmicks/decks this one was a one-and-done with a single pack for a reward which means it's basically a Tavern Brawl with a pretentious name

Blooming Brilliant posted:I don't know why Blizzard decided to play the characters completely straight this year. Maybe they thought the Dragon story was too silly? Even something like how they handled Medivh in ONiK would be way more palatable. God I hope that isn't the reason. Last year's goofy arc was super fun. If you're going to go serious, nail the flavor like Lich King and Whispers. This new single player stuff really only makes sense as a tutorial if they're going like this. But I never played WoW so even the lore stuff sucks?

Warcraft lore is some of the most frustrating poo poo ever. I don't play WoW but by virtue of playing a ton of Hearthstone I occasionally look things up on the fan wiki. It's just a long string of characters making completely nonsensical, inconsistent decisions for the purpose of generating conflict and driving the plot forward. The new Jaina campaign is a perfect example of this. "Oh hey Thrall, sure I'll help you defeat Grommash, this one specific orc who is doing bad things. This shows that we can work together!" a few years later "Oh hey Thrall, I'm going to kill you and all of the other orcs, and also the rest of the horde I guess, because Garrosh is doing bad things. This shows that we can never work together." It's literally the same situation happening twice, but the writers decided Jaina must suddenly become a nazi.

The writing has been particularly terrible the past few years, especially Battle for Azeroth. They done did N'zoth dirty. Has there been any confirmation of a SA story? I don't have high hopes after what this year has offered but wow if Book of Heroes is what they're leaving us with. Blooming Brilliant fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Sep 19, 2020 |

WoW occasionally can do a nice self-contained story, I really enjoyed Suramar as a whole, but the overarcing narrative is so inconsistent, juvenile, and embarrassing. I don't understand *why* it has to be like this.

So not only was the League vs. EVIL fun saturday morning cartoon stuff, it was legit just better than the source material. I'm really happy with the meta at the moment, but 2020 has just been... lame in both flavor and single player. Their new class was a hero too grimdark cool to say "hi" or at least something kind of entertaining in its place

Amoeba102 posted:What deck counters mountseller druid? Warrior and priest can generally deal with the boards that version of Guardian Druid can build and the low impact cards it runs to fuel mountseller make it worse than other versions of the deck in the matchup as it runs out of steam easily.

Any Priest does fine, and you can also play Face Hunter with the 2x Freezing Trap + 2x Pressure Plate package. Finally Secret Miracle Rogue is favored, if you have good Created By luck.

Just did the solo stuff today, I legit enjoyed it. There were some things that were a bit strange. Like Antonidas never believed Medivh, so why would he have sent Jaina to evacuate the people to Kalimdor? Also, I'm pretty sure that Kalec wasn't in Theramore when it was bombed. Closing it out with arguably the darkest chapter of Jaina's own character arc, the purging of Dalaran, is kinda weird. I would have liked one last chapter from her, with both her badass new model, and her recognizing that being a warmonger is perhaps not perfect. Otherwise, I enjoyed it quite a bit. The music between chapters just hits me in the feels, I can practically hear Katherine say "Forgive me, my daughter", and see the dream sequence with Jaina before my eyes. Jaina's hero power getting stronger was cool, and I legit lost to Kael'thas the first time around. It was a solid hour of content that I got for free, and I'm really looking forward to what they will do with the other characters. Will we see things from Garrosh's perspective? The paladin story will 100% be Arthas, I'm excited. If I get around 9 hours of entertainment from the free story mode, I will be happy. Especially since I didn't bother to replay the dungeon run clones.

Okay Bomb warrior felt good against this "Every druid I've played for the last month" deck. I played subpar but easily turned the game around even though I misplayed badly one turn (when my laptop turned off due to low battery, among other things i did poorly).

ahaha just had an amazing final battle in battlegrounds. I'm dragons with Nadina, my sole remaining opponent is beasts with golden Macaw, golden Goldrinn, golden Rivendare, two hydras. First fight is a draw. Before the next fight he techs in an Unstable Ghoul, but doesn't think it through or position correctly, so the Macaw triggers the ghoul and wipes his entire board except Rivendare

Which is easier - to craft Kingsbane and aim for Legend in Wild or Shadowjeweler Hanar and do it in Standard? I've got like 29/30 cards for either deck.

Kingsbane rogue is definitely on the rise again, and it's a nasty deck. Ideally craft both though, Hanar will be a wild staple.

Totem deck is fun. I rocketed up to Diamond 5 with like 75% win rate. Once I hit D5 though I started running into try hards with top decks. And yeah, Shaman totem is clearly weaker than a bunch of the top tier decks. Still, really fun deck.
