Hearthstone

The biggest annoyance for me are the people that know they have lost the game, but that it will take 3-4 more turns to seal the deal.  They let the timer run out every turn, only for the game to boot them on the fourth turn or whatever of their not doing anything.

Yeah, I consider that obstructionist and well worth being annoyed by.  I was covering things that aren't actually wrong in the sense of bad play, just petty and I probably shouldn't be bothered by.

Had somethign rather odd happen last night.

Was playing Priest in arena.

Played the mech that has a deathrattle that drops a random minion, and the minion that dropped was the 1-4 chick that heals you when she deals damage.

I attacked with her, and instead of healing me, she did 1 damage to me. 28 times. And I died, since I only had 25 health. And yes, that is right - she hit me 28 times in a row, for 1 damage each time, and I lost the game when I got to -3 life.

I suspect this was a bug.

Priest has a few cards that switch healing to damage dealing. Might be you had a minion out that does that; I forget what it's called. But it still shouldn't apply it 28x.

Me and Habs talked about this, and he figured it out.

I must have had Auchenai Soulpriest out.

So, this was actually not a bug at all.

Hey power is to heal whenever she does damage. Achenai reverses any healing to damage.

So she did a point of damage to someone, and "healed" me for 1 point of damage, reversed by ASP to dealing a point of damage. Which triggered her ability to heal for a point of damage, converted to doing a point of damage, which triggered her ability....repeat until dead.

Pretty awesome way to lose, actually...

This absurd Hearthstone turn is taking 40 hours, and you can watch it live

Approximately 5 hours ago, two brave players decided to exploit Hearthstone's rules to set a world record no one else considered setting. With a sequence of plays that ought to be impossible, they're setting the record for the longest turn in a game of Hearthstone ever. It's been five hours, and the same turn is still going, estimated to last for a total of 40 hours. Why? Because they can, obviously. What's more, they are livestreaming the turn with a timer until it's completed.

In Hearthstone, each turn is usually limited to a minute and a half long. If a card's animation is still running, however, it will remain on that player's turn until the animation is complete. The duo exploited this concept to its fullest potential through some cardsharing trickery. They filled the hand of one player with nine copies of a card called Arcane Missiles that deals three damage by firing three slow moving missiles, and then used 206 copies of a card called Velen's Chosen which increases spell damage by one, increasing the number of missiles fired. Finally, they filled the board with seven copies of a minion called Prophet Velen that doubles spell damage, doubling the 209 missiles the Arcane Missiles card would fire seven times, and causing each card to shoot not three missiles, but 26,752 missiles. One at a time. For 40 hours.

All that was left was to play all nine Arcane Missiles cards at once, which will activate one at a time, and have the enemy play a card called Ice Block that keeps them from dying until the next turn. Approximately 240,000 missiles and 40 hours later the turn will end, the player who'd just been pummeled for two days straight will die to fatigue damage. GG.

I have a stuck game that doesn't look like it is going anywhere.  It's been about half an hour and it isn't doing anything.  I see the opponent mousing around occasionally.  40 hour record soon to be broken?

Game is now available on phones both Ios and android.

I think my Nexus 4 is melting.

After spending a lot of time playing HS, I am now convinced that people who tell you "Well Played" just before they win are assholes and douchebags.

I haven't tried the new solo dungeon yet, but I like playing my troll priest to rank 20 when I remember. It's still mostly based on stealing cards from your opponent. Since you can't build a whole deck of those I've added stuff like Blingbot, Recombobulator, Enhance-o-mechano and other cards that summon random cards, plus Ragnaros.

Nothing like making people ragequit when you have Ragnaros x2 on turn 5 (very lucky Mindgames on turn 4 + Faceless Manipulator on turn 5). Though to be fair I lose probably 5 games for every two I win - but it's always silly fun.

I should look into other gimmick decks.

Are you sure it isn't people who beat you that are assholes and douchebags?
