Greetings!

I'm surprised there isn't much talk of Hearthstone here, so I thought i'd make a thread to introduce people to this fantastic (and very fun) game :)

 

Right off the bat for anyone who doesn't know about the game:

 

  • Hearthstone is an online, turn-based card battle game.
  • Though it clearly has "Heroes of Warcraft" in the title, no past WoW / other game experience is needed :) I was wary about this initially but quickly learned there's no need to have played any other Warcraft game to jump into HS
  • Each player has 30 health; when one player's health drops to 0, he loses
  • You can accomplish this by creating a deck of 30 cards. These comprise of spells and creatures of your choice
  • There are 9 'heroes' in the game, each with a different deck theme and unique cards that vastly differ from one another.
  • The average game lasts ~5-10 mins.
  • The game is free to download and play. Without spending money and after investing a few hours, you CAN definitely build a decent deck for online play!
  • More advanced cards can be bought via in-game gold earned daily, or if you're in a rush, for real $$$
  • The game's available on PC / Mac / iPad. The iPad version was recently launched and is a surprisingly accurate port of the desktop version!

 

I've been playing for about 3-4 months and i've happily spent on the game after trying it out!

If anyone's interested and needs help with the game, feel free to reach out to me. Would be great playing with you guys.

Heard very positive words on the game. Played it for a short span of time. One week or something. I think my Blizzard ID is K10.

 

Give it a try! I'd be happy to help if you start again.

 

I play on North America servers and would recommend anyone starting out, to do the same. Battle.net ID's look something like this: name#1234 - so you can share that :)

Will sure check buddy. Ever since I got the PS4, haven't used my laptop for gaming purposes at all.

 

Would have to download the game again.

The Curse of Naxxramas: Blizzard's first Hearthstone Expansion is in the middle of launch right now, for anyone interested.

The expansion is split into five single-player "Wings", each of which contains different unlockable cards and bosses to face off against. Today, the second of five wings was unlocked for everyone to access with the remaining three wings to launch over the next 3 weeks.

 

You guys should really give HS a shot - it's free to start and you might just end up enjoying it more than you'd have thought :)

In major LOVE with this game. Weird, cuz I have never played a turn based card battle game in my entire life. Well actually, have never played a turn based anything game in my entire life. (Well except those WWE cards in my childhood, was just a phase though)

 

But to my surprise, this thing is amazing. This game is amazing actually. Best part is the accessible UI and gameplay- so neat, so easy, so deep. Addicted to it.

 

Best/worse part- its free! But it isnt pay-to-win in any way so its all good. Even if you are not a card battle genre fan, or have never even heard about it, you must give this game a try. Best way to introduce yourself to this genre, just the right amount of depth and accessibility.

 

Its the Gamespot's mobile game of the year too (on PC and MAC too though).

 

Epic game is epic!

 

P.S. After playing this I was hungry for some card battle love on android too and so I tried like 10 games- all with fail UI or excessive pay to win or overly complicated gameplay, nothing came close to this, by a 100 miles. :(

Blizzard knows how to hook you up with addictive and super-polished gameplay. Even after shitton of WoW and Diablo clones, WoW and Diablo are still best in their respective genres.

 

Btw downloaded this last week and already clocked in 20+ hours, thank you for completely fking up my backlog :rant:

This. I am completely addicted to just getting one more paragon level. They know exactly how to suck you in.

I ended up playing SCII again. They are just so damn good.

Have never touched WoW or Diablo, but I can totally imagine how perfectly carved they must coming from the Blizzard stable.

 

Is it possible to play hearthstone mp with each other? Like a private match if we add each other? I dont see any such option.

incompatible with my device :blink: LG G3 with Android 4.4.2

 

Must need tablets or some such asinine requirement.

 

Yup, needs minimum of a six-inch screen-space device. Can download on my Nexus7.
