Rewards Track: Current progress

Submitted 3 years, 4 months ago by

Hi, we are now 3 days into the new progression system and I am wondering what your current progress on the new rewards track and your overall experience is.

I play about 1 or 2 hours a day, finished all daily and weekly quests (with the 15% XP bonus boost) and I have reached level 17. My first impressions are:

- I only play ranked now since it rewards more XP

- The rewards track feels like a drag, because the progress has halted compared against the start

- The urge to win has become almost non-existent, because losing still rewards XP

- The rewards track has altered the way I play and I am not sure if this a positive change or not

- Hearthstone has become even more expensive than it already was

Calculations aside, I wonder at which level I will end up on the rewards track and if indeed it is going to fulfill Blizzard's promise of equal or more 'gold' acquired before the next expansion hits.

    Congrats NebuchadnezarHS!

    I am almost done with level 277. I am sitting on a fat pile of 17,600 gold currently, and I will get the pre-orders for FitB. A couple more weeks to go. I might* make it to 300 - depends on how many projects I get put to work on in our yard between now and then :).

    Summary of the first Rewards Track for me: It definitly has worked out better for gaining gold per expansion. I've gone up about 10-11k gold which is about 3k-4k more than usual. Currently sitting at level 137.

    I feel like I have played a little more than I would have with having to complete weekly quests and dailies. I used to get lazy and wait 3 days and then remember I had to get on to quickly do them and they'd be done in a few games.

    I'm excited to see what new things they could put into the rewards track next season!

    Whelp for the 1st time ever, I will enter into a new expansion with over 8k gold. Also I've just reached level 131.

    Checking in @ level 150 & 9k gold. There's a possibility for 10k if I don't hold onto the Challenge a Friend quest but I'm thinking about saving it for the start of the new track.

    By the way, me getting the 0 XP earned notification now after each game played is both liberating and feels bad man 😂

    I guess you don't have any incentive to play Hearthstone anymore. No more rewards until 30th.

    Congrats, you played yourself. Or did you?

    No, I have 1 less incentive to play HS (temporarily). A pretty significant 1 indeed, but there are still other goals (like getting all of the 1000 wins hero portraits) left in the game for me to achieve/collect. Also, I rather enjoy the casual play since completing the rewards track, no pressure at all.

    After another two weeks I´m at 250 lvl as expected (did only 10 lvl a week this time, because I don´t play much, only doing my quests). At this pace I should be at 260 when the track ends, which is kinda nice.

    How´s everyone doing? Where are you now on the track and where do you think you´ll end, when the new expansion hits?

    Sorry, I could not resist. It is 2 weeks later and I am still at level 350, no progress whatsoever 🤭

    I'm at 154 (with tavern pass) and will probably end up getting a few more before launch. I enjoyed Scholomance meta a lot more than DWF overall so I haven't been playing much lately, just completing quests with Prime Warlock. Will end up with about 7k gold (bought the miniset with 2k) which is about 4k more than I usually end up with.

    Pretty pleased with the rewards track, never been able to get anywhere near 70 packs on top of the preorder. Ironically, I only did the normal bundle this time because I have so much gold I didn't think I'd need it. And the skin didn't tempt me enough.

    I'm at lvl 144 and should get to 146 with my active quests before the patch. I will end up with around 7,5k gold wich is my personal best.

    Level 177.  Finished last level with bg afk so only 15/1500 into next level - won't play anymore until patch hits.

    All generalizations are false.

    Finished 30XP above level 180. I'm hoping we get new weekly quests at least after patch hits.

    Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)

    Level 221, 14500 gold, previous record is 7500 gold per cycle, so this is nearly a double. I will not need the small preorder in future most likely.

    I am halfway through level 318. The last few days I've been grinding (playing a lot of hours) a meme big demon Demon Hunter in dumpster legend (standard) this month trying to get DH leveled up to 60 before Core launches. I have 19,600 gold saved - have not used a coin since Darkmoon Faire's launch day (bought most pack bundles, after using previous gold to supplement pre-ordered DMF packs).

    I will buy the Tavern pass again for Forged in the Barrens because I like the XP boost and I think the cosmetics this time around are  excellent. I don't yet know how much of my 19,000+ gold I will use on packs at Barrens launch - I think I will see how my legendary take is after I open my pre-order bundles.

    I have achieved my objective of hitting level 100 before the new set releases. I have around 6700 gold and i'm not really playing the game. I have fully neglected quests for several weeks and i haven't played constructed in two months. I was playing a lot of Battlegrounds but i got bored of that as well after Darkmoon Prizes were removed. I still play a little every few days but only enough to do a few quests and sometimes i don't even bother with that. So, the track is definitely fine as it is right now. They are doing some major changes though and i hope it will be for the better but i can't be sure until at least a month after the new track is out. I hope the rotation ignites my interest in the game again but i'm not that excited about the new cards or some of the changes to the core set of certain classes (I don't really like what they did to Priest).

    Is it the same amount of XP required  each level past 50?

    Or is it a very slow increment increase?

    I'm hitting level 220 without the pass. I'll have 15k Gold an it was the first time i saved my gold within the whole expansion (but there where a lot of duels and arena runs in the beginning). At the first time I was very sceptical about the reward track, but now i'm convinced, especially with the achievments

    Past LVL 50 you start with 1325 XP needed, slowly increasing to the 1500 XP (lvl 80) and from then on it´s the same amount of required XP up to the lvl 350. For more details visit this thread (at the bottom of the article click "Show Spoiler" for the XP breakdown past lvl 50).

    Guys, does anybody count at what level tavern pass will start be profitable in terms of gold? Thinking about buying next tavern pass...

    So, it cost 20$, just like simple 15 packs bundle.

    15 regular packs - 1500 gold.

    Each level gives us 50 gold (don't count initial reward track).

    1500 gold - 30 levels

    Just hit legend and ending this season at level 162 and currently sitting at 18k gold, but I had about 7k before expansion and also bought the mini expac for 2k.

    I am very happy with the outcome of the rewards track and am now gonna take a little rest until Forged in the Barrens comes out.

    I'm not sure I want to dive into the achievement points side of things as that took some of the fun out of it in Warcraft for me, but without trying I'm sitting at 10560 points. I have to say though my collection only being at 68% is triggering me D: I thought I was doing well with that!

    So at, the end of the Rewards track I´m stopping at lvl 255 and leaving all my Weeklies and Daylies for the new one. I am very happy with the results, I´ve bought the mini expansion and Sylvanas for gold, and still have plenty left for the new expansion (17k+). My average was 8k before. Gonna buy the TP again.

    So where did you guys end? And do you plan to finish all your quests before the new track or save them for the next one?

    I have stopped doing my weeklies and dailies to leave up the maximum amount of available quests for the next Rewards track. I have multiple challenge friend quests lined up which will quickly jumpstart my XP progress. I somehow completed several new XP achievements but I did not collect the XP yet. It has been really hard to not click on them because I have the obsessive compulsive urge to want to get rid of that annoying red exclamation mark as soon as possible.

    I will absolutely buy the Tavern Pass again because of all the new cosmetics and the XP boost.

    And lastly, I am not going to repeat my end level for the current Rewards track anymore -> level 350 😆

    Just broke into lvl 225 and will stop here. All combined I accumulated 14955 gold since the introduction of the reward track, without buying the tavern pass.

    Looking like I'll hit 250 by the time it is done. Definitely more gold (though I've been spending it without tracking it) and tons of packs along the way (mostly thanks to Duels). I am 2 legendary minions and one Hysteria (dusted when nerfed, only got one back) short of a full collection for DMF. No other set has come that close, though my time spend playing has been way up due to pandemic life (or lack thereof).

     

    Now you kids are probably saying to yourselves, "Hey Matt, how can we get back on the right track?"

    Since I started this thread back in November 2020, I have a few housekeeping questions about its future:

    1) Did you like the information and/or dialogues in this thread?

    2) Do we want to continue this for the next rewards track and if so should a new thread be created instead of keeping this one alive?

    Personally, I really enjoyed this thread and received some useful info/tips from my fellow HS players which helped me along my climb of the rewards track. So I would very much like for this thread to be repeated for the upcoming rewards track. Also, to have it more partitioned, a separate thread per rewards track sounds more logical to me.

    Well, in that case I am more than happy to pass the torch over to you, Alleria. Feel free to create the new Rewards track thread and I will certainly be one of the first ones to join the great new discussion! 🤠

    Finished with level 223 and 14700 gold. Will get the next Tavern pass, I like the comestics and want to support Hearthstone. Also, I earned twice as much gold as in previous seasons, literally twice that much. Great changes!
    Also, I'm saving 3 weekly quest and 3 daily quests and Barrens achievments to kickstart the new Reward track.

    I finished the DMF Rewards track part way into level 332.

    I bought the pass and it was well worth it for me. I have over 20,000 gold saved since the end of Scholomance (after supplementing my pre-order packs with some gold purchased packs). I won't be spending all of that hoard on Barrens Packs, I may save some for older expansions or any cosmetics they bring in for gold.

    I will be buying the Tavern Pass for FitB.
