Rewards Track: Current progress 2.0

Submitted 2 years, 11 months ago by

Hey fellow OOCians. The new Rewards Track has started, so it´s time to make a new progression thread. Thanks to NebuchadnezzarHS for making the first thread and for passing the torch towards me. I hope this one will be as useful as the first and ya´ll feel welcome and free to post your progress or thoughts on the new rewards track, whatever you like.

I know it´s quite soon into the new track, but some of you (me included) have stacked your precious Daily and Weekly quests, so you can share how much you jumped on the track if you´ve already finished them. Only one rule in this thread: please be nice to each other. Thank you and have fun! :)

    It sure is nice getting golden uncraftable cards, i probably won't use. I'm glad they're giving these to us after also changing the pack system to where i guarantee get these cards anyway.

    Living like that.

    woah, feel nice to speed boost to level 20 with extra quests that I haven't touch from Monday. I'm pretty sure gonna get that slow ascending later on higher level.

    Thank you Alleria for continuing this wonderful rewards track discussion. I hope this is the start of a great tradition and keeps on going for many many expansions!

    After opening 250 packs (which lucky me resulted in a full expansion collected), I quickly jumpstarted to level 30 with 2 weekly and 1 daily quest still left to collect.

    My first goal will be to reach level 70 in order to obtain the 20% XP boost as quickly as possible. Afterwards, I should adjust my daily playtime to a much more comfortable level unlike last time.

    I got to level 17 on day 1. I completed the 5 wins weekly quest (i have been neglecting it for weeks) and the 2 daily ones i had. Progression felt good with a lot of early rewards but that also happened during the last track. It felt really good early on but slowed down to a crawl around level 30. Things are different this time as the level up requirements are much lower for the early levels. It should feel a lot smoother and i hope it will feel good even after we get to the higher levels.

    I bought Tavern Pass this time. I liked the portraits and really wanted to try the Diamond card. So far it's been fun.

    Reached about level 33 first day. Early path, as usual, feels very rewarding. 

    Ended up with Plaguemaw the Rotting as my lvl 20 reward. Haven't done druid yet, been too busy with Warrior. Can't wait to try it though. With the Core and Barrens release, there are a lot of cards I haven't gotten too. Can't wait to give them a shot.

    I only reached up to level 102 in the last rewards track, so I'm gonna make it a point to reach all levels this time around. Gotta get that gold for my F2P ways from now on. 

    Started playing again last night and reached up to level 19. Can't wait to see what my random legendary at 20 will be.

    I'm gonna buy the tavern pass again, I want that diamond Blademaster Samuro. The hero portraits look awesome too (except for the Rokara ones, ew). 

     

     

    UPDATE: Got Tavish Stormpike as my level 20 legendary, ugh. I always get the ones I don't want or have no intention of playing. Last expansion, I got Deck of Chaos -_-

    I'm at 42  now, I bought the Tavern pass and have completed all avaible quests. No achievement hunting so far, imho they seem far too grindy and even off-putting. Might give it a go when my star bonus is used up.

    I got Tamsin Roame at lvl 20, happy with that one. And from the Phoenix packs I've been lucky and got two legendaries already. Sadly, it's two cards I'll hardly ever use: Keymaster Alabaster and G'huun the Blood God. I've been less lucky with the Barrens packs so it's a nice bonus.

    So one week in and I´ve already hit lvl 50 (big shoutout to aposteljoe for pointing out the Weekly quest re-roll, which netted me 2 extra ranked quests this week). My legendary was Tavish Stormpike, which is kinda meh, but hey - at least I can do the Who let the dogs out? achievement lol :)

    How are you doing all so far? Let us know where you´re at and what your free lvl 20 and lvl 50 legendaries were, and if you´re happy with it or not.

    I just hit level 65 today and I am currently focused on completing the new XP achievements (69% done). The overall difficulty of the new XP achievements seems to be easier this time around. At the very least, less legendaries are required in order to complete all of them.

    I paid very little attention to the level 20 and level 50 legendaries I got (and thus forgot about them already), because my Forged in the Barrens collection was completed on launch day (pretty looking coin by the way).

    I think my current XP progress is probably slightly behind compared to the previous rewards track. Though, I should be hitting level 70 at the very end of this week and finally get that sweet 20% XP boost again 😍

    I just hit level 70 and finally received the 20% XP boost, yeah baby! 🥳

    I have 3 XP achievements left to complete (91% done) of which 2 are the most troublesome: Buy One, Get One Free and Who Let the Dogs Out?

    I hit level 50 & picked up the Firefang Rexxar skin which will sadly not get used because I spent 1.5k gold for Sylvanas!! My Legendary reward was Cannonmaster Smythe so I'm going play some Scum Pala this week before nerfs hit.

    Hit level 50 last night - no pass.

    I decided to grind to 50, using any gold rewards to buy Barrens packs, after which I'd start to hoard gold for the August expansion - so now it's time to save and craft any remaining cards I want.

    Legendary rewards have been Kargal Battlescar at 20 and Mordresh Fire Eye at 50. All in all pretty happy with my haul so far, as I've ended up with most of the key cards I wanted, plus some jank to meme around with :)

    May all your legendaries be golden.

    Reached lvl 50 today, got that fiery Rexxar portrait (my first alt. Hunter face) and Varden Dawngrasp as a legendary reward. Semi-happy with Varden, not one of those I was hoping for but he should be useful.

    Right now I'm considering saving gold for mid- & next expansion, way earlier than I use to, since I just opened another legendary. I never buy pre-orders and usually start saving somewhere in the middle between expansions. So should I keep buying packs until the pity timer hits again, or statr saving already? Any recomendations?

    Thanks! Hearthstone is the only game I play (roughly 3 hours per day). Unfortunately, due to the skewed curve of the rewards track, level 70 is only about halfway to level 100, XP wise.

    Arrived at level 78 now (20% to level 400) and finally completed all the XP achievements from Forged into the Barrens. The Druid achievement Buy One, Get One Free was really really REALLY horrible to complete, ugh! Much worse than the Greybough achievement from the previous expansion.

    I will now focus on getting to 1000 wins for the remaining 5 classes to collect their corresponding hero portraits:

    • Hunter: 966
    • Druid: 912
    • Shaman: 856
    • Rogue: 755
    • Demon Hunter: 154

    I started playing again after a week and I've reached level 42. My quest tray is empty now though, so it's going to be tough to get to level 50 within the week unless I play every day.

    Can't wait for the nerfs to go live. This Mage-Paladin meta is such an un-fun experience. No other deck is being allowed to shine by those two classes, which is more frustrating for me since I can't grind to 1,000 wins with DH without losing a lot of games. I hope Deathrattle DH becomes semi-viable after the nerfs hit. 

    I'm still nervous about Paladin, though. I don't think the nerfs to it were enough; it's still going to dominate the meta. Its libram toolkit is just waaay too overtuned that a couple of buffs to other classes might be necessary.

    After two weeks I´m exactly at lvl 63, no quests left. Hoping to get to lvl 70 with the next Monday Weeklies for the 20% boost. Will definitely miss the 3x ranked quest we got to exploit these two/three weeks. Gotta hunt the achievements instead :)

    I am at level 83 right now and levelling up takes a really long time (2500 XP per level). I cannot wait to reach level 100 and start gaining at least one level each day again until level 400.

    Good luck and have fun!

    I purchased the pass. I will have less time to play now that it's spring and my kids have started sports again. I'll be curious to see what I hit this time with less lockdown time spent playing. 

    The cosmetics and quicker climb seem like a nice value so far. 

    Currently at level 67.

     

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

    I reached level 90 yesterday and finally got my precious new coin (part of the paid rewards track)

    The voyage in front of me will be rough still (10x 2500 XP) before I sail into calmer waters ⛵️

    Which hero portrait will you be picking up this time around? Nightslayer Valeera was my previous pick. Most logical would be to choose another portrait that I am going to use (to reach 1000 wins for my remaining 4 classes) instead of one that stays in mint condition.

    Currently, my picks are between Demonbane Illidan and Felheart Gul'dan.

    Yup, made an article about it here: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/2826-hearthstone-reveals-details-on-forged-in-the-barrens-rewards-track

    Looks like lvl 73-100 needs a constant 2500 XP each.

    So after another week, I´m lvl 80 with no quests left and 80% of XP achievements done.

    On NebuchadnezzarHS´s question:

    "Which hero portrait will you be picking up this time around?"

    I´ve picked Hunter the first time, the next hero I like the most is Gul´dan, so I´ll probably go with him, but it´s still a looong road to go.

    Still no battlepass sadly. But I got to level 68 already. Still looking for that last legendary card (hoping it is not samuro as I still plan to but the pass in little time) before I craft stuff and save for the miniset (have 1500 unspent gold in case there is a hero I want so I am well prepared for the miniset though)

    I've hit level 65 despite only playing 3 times in the pat two weeks. I've been grinding a lot of Demon Hunter because I am oh so close to that 1,000-win portrait, which has predictably led to a lot of losses (suffered 10 straight Ls while playing a Lifesteal DH, my tilt was inconceivable). Paladins are a damn curse right now.

    All right, all right, all right... I finally hit level 100. Groovy Baby! 🤘

    In front of me is only the bonus part of the rewards track left. So, let us see how far I will be able to get till the fat lady sings this time around 🤭

    How are you all doing at this moment? Progressing smoothly I reckon.

    Will the release of new Tier 2 hero portraits (obtainable after completing every 200 levels on the reward tracks) change your future amount of play? I am not so sure yet.

    If they stick with two tiers in total, I will be able to obtain all the Tier 2 hero portraits sooner anyways than the Tier 1 hero portraits. Also, I am not at all familiar with the WoW armors and therefore I have no real affinity with them other than my own taste for their graphics.

    Personally, I like the Rogue hero portrait and by picking it up should incentivize me to play Rogue even more. Same goes for the Demon Hunter hero portrait (which I like less though).

    On a somewhat lighter but related sidenote, do you think there might be a threshold of too much collectible stuff added to HS too quickly which could scare off some potential collectors? 

    What is your opinion on these matters?

    For me, the recent flood of hero skins is what finally got me to stop trying to have all of them. Now I only get them if I actually expect to use them (or they're part of the big pre-order bundle which I get more for the packs than anything else), which is a healthier approach so I'm happy about it.

    If the daunting task forces collectors into making more rational decisions, then that's definitely a good thing. Not so much if instead they throw more and more at the game to get everything. 

    As for the Tier 2* skins, I'm definitely going with Valeera first again. It'll be my 6th Valeera skin, but will still end up being used more than any of the others due to how much of a rogue main I am. Plus, unlike a lot of the other classes, rogue doesn't have a non-basic hero that I just like way more than I will ever like the basic character. (The odds I use Gul'dan, Garrosh or Illidan over their more friendly counterparts is minuscule.) Given how little I expect to use most of them, I have no incentive to grind the rewards track to get them faster.

    * It looks like rogue got T2 with the Book of Heroes portrait, so Valeera got T5 instead. DH was of course way too late to the WoW party to have a T2 set.

    Will the release of new Tier 2 hero portraits (obtainable after completing every 200 levels on the reward tracks) change your future amount of play? I am not so sure yet.

    Free cosmetics yay! As a (mostly) F2P I've been low on fun skins, don't have any alt. for Shaman and I still stick around with the likes of Khadgar, Lunara, Maiev and Nemsy. Yes, CHADgar and Maiev are awesome, but some options would be nice. But I will not play more, the rewards will come as they come.

    As for the Tier 2 skins, Valeera looks FIRE and Jaina is also really cool. I will definitely choose one of those or Thrall, I'm not completely sold on the chunky blue armor yet but it's about time for some variety.

    I can already feel bored trying to level up. Facing both Hunter and Paladin kinda make me want to stop playing. I'm not really rushing it, and so I'm lagging behind on level 80 with no battlepass. I feel lucky to be able to exploit 3000xp with weekly quest bug back then, along with the completion of 80% of bonus XP achievements.

    I don't know if I have the urge to play that often anymore, just gonna do quests and wait on the miniset for now.

    After another week I´ve hit lvl 90 with 90% achievements done (missing the 200 sigils, 600 Sermon buffs,100 rank spells, copying 5 secrets and building golems rank 2 and 3, since I don´t own the Kazakus). Got the coin and feel pretty much as h0lysatan above me, it´s getting quite boring. After hitting lvl 100 you got nothing to be excited for, just plain gold.

    Anyway, where are you all? How far are you with your XP achievements? Which hero are you choosing this time? Any other thoughts? Let us know :)

    Happy leveling all!

    Im LVL 52 rn, seems like i havent moved much in two weeks from 35-ish. But that is fine, I dont play that much, mostly BGs every so often and doing Quests, so it goes about as well as expected considering.

    Without the Tavern pass, it is kinda bare and you mostly just open gold rewards, and the occasional Year of pack or Tavern Ticket isnt that much exciting. The free legendary was nice tho, but not like it was my goal to rush it or anything. I dont mind the gold rewards in general, with the Hero Skins hitting shop for gold, iv spend a couple thousand gold on em already, so in a sense, that is my reward. I did like the golden cards, i like golden cards in general, more so the ones that generate another card, so that was cool.

    I get that the Tavern Pass is the new way to monetize the game and you get extra bling, that is all fine, im ok with how the non-Tavern pass road looks, but it doesnt excite me, and it definitely does not keep me engaged to lvl up for some rewards down the road. I guess just knowing i will hit lvl100 eventually and will get to pick the skin is enough for me, if i had to actively play each day to be able to do that, in my position, i would probably just not do that, but would be bummed out about it. So like i said, nothing too exciting for me, but im fine with what im getting right now.

    Level 70 - no battlepass.

    Should get the level 75 golden epic in about a week or so - then it's just gold gold gold (except for the hero at 100).

    All generalizations are false.

    I am currently at level 108 and I picked up Demonbane Illidan, but did not use him ever since yet. Demon Hunter is not one of the top dogs now unfortunately.

    I have to agree with the meta being quite boring at this moment. Hopefully Team 5 will address it soon™.

    By the way, did anyone notice that the seasonal epic card (of April) was a duplicate? I am missing quite a few Wild epics still, but did not receive any of them. Perhaps only Standard cards are offered as seasonal rewards? Although somewhat understandable, it is not mentioned specifically anywhere in-game 🤔

    EDIT: Seasonal ranked ladder rewards are indeed Standard only cards according to this official Blizzard blog post.

    Thanks! Indeed I completely finished the previous rewards track about 2½ weeks too early, before the new expansion launched. I will slow down eventually and take it a bit easier this time around though, no worries 😁

    Yes, it is bugged and being looked into by Team 5. Aside from unable to claim any hero portrait, the calculation is also a bit off. It currently says I am at cumulative level 466, but it should be 468 instead (350 + 118 = 468). I guess they have not tested this new feature properly, but that is the "quality" of what we have seen for quite a lot of recent patches now unfortunately (notice the the growing list of bugfixes).

    I wonder if you/we are missing 2 levels because we start at level 1 with 0XP, so level 1 doesn't contribute. In that case, I'd blame the silly choice to start at level 1 instead of level 0, rather than a bug.

    Sounds plausible indeed. I would still consider it a bug though, but rather a very silly and somewhat explainable one. They could easily "fix" it by simply adding a single bonus +1 level per rewards track for that cumulative level count. I see no other real solution because I assume most people will simply not understand the calculation otherwise (like I did before).

    Yeah, I´m "missing" two levels as well, might be what AngryShuckie said about not counting the starting 1st lvls.

    I can´t claim the second tier Hero as well (I´m close to 350 total lvls), but I´m sure they will fix it sooner or later :D

    You should get the second tier hero for every 200 lvls, but it´s bugged when you´re already past the first 200 - the first achievement is marked as claimed, but you can´t choose the hero. Here´s the tweet from Celestalon:

    "We're aware of the Tavern Regular achievement starting out already claimed for people with >200 levels already. Working on a fix!"

    I claimed Deathmantle Valeera. However, this issue has not been properly fixed at all, because I was only able to claim one single Tier 2 hero portrait instead of two, even though I have met the requirements. The achievement progress states that both first two stages have been claimed today which is not true at all.

    These silly issues are really starting to piss me off now, because as a programmer myself I feel the quality of the added features is currently well below par and honestly very close to being outright unacceptable. Do they even test their code themselves at all or are we their beta testers? If the latter is the case, we should all be on their payroll list.

    EDIT: Apparently, they are aware that the bug is still present and is being fixed in waves? Seriously what the heck? Perhaps, I should try to get employed at Blizzard and dive into their code to see what kind of pasta dish it really is🤣

    Priest is my least played class but thought this one is pretty cool and I like the emotes.

    So cool that everyone here chose different Tier 2 hero so far :D Love the diversity :)

    On topic, yesterday, after another week, I´ve hit lvl 100 and picked Uther Lawbringer - I like the book detail, even tho it might be the most hated portrait by now. Next one will be Felheart Gul'dan, cause he looks so badass, but I have many cool Warlock portraits (like N'Zoth my fav), so I don´t need it right away.

    I just hit level 133 today, a thirdway until the end of the current Rewards Track 🏁

    I chose Felravager Illidan as my second T2 hero reward. It certainly is not one of my favorite hero portraits but should get plenty usage until I finally reach a 1000 Demon Hunter wins (next year maybe).

    The third hero portrait will definitely be Dragonstalker Rexxar, because he looks absolutely amazing with that awesome shiny golden Dragon armor. ROAR!! 🐲

    I'm at Level 81, been ranking up with Primordial Clown Druid which almost took me to legend. It just stomped all over everything in the first few days after the nerfs, but it's an instant loss to any aggro deck if you can't ramp up to your top-end cards by turn 5. I fooled around with a Frenzy Control Warrior so I could give my Overlord Saurfang a spin, it's a lot of fun but it's not very competitive. 

    I just got the second Xyrella skin at level 80, and it's so lackluster. There's not even that much animation in it. Blizzard really needs to make more of these portraits worthwhile, I feel like I didn't get my money's worth with the Tavern pass since half of the locked portraits are very subpar (the only good ones are the first two Kurtrus skins, the 1st and last Xyrella skins, and the Firefang Rexxar). The Rokara ones are absolutely horrible, and my gripe is that her artwork has been very inconsistent in everything she's on. Her face looks different in all three skins, in the legendary card, and even in Rancor and Conditioning (Rank 1). They really did this cool character dirty with inconsistent, uninspired art.

    Got the 100 today. My second pic was Arcanist  Jaina. No easy choice since I got 1000 win Jaina just recently and love the fire theme.

    As for the achievment rewards, i'm super happy with Valeera but not sure what i'm gonna pick next... Guldan is nice but i have the difficult choice between Mecha Jaraxxus and N'zoth already... Maybe Druid? But Hamul is still so fresh! 

    Am I the only one that's suffering from portrait overdose? 

    1000 win portraits were nice at the time but i would much prefer an upgraded frame to show this  achievment EVERY game, not only when i pick the portrait.

    I just finished all my weeklies and reached level 151. I am also closing in rapidly (-25 wins) on completing my eighth 1000 wins class (Shaman).

    The massive hero portraits influx is taxing indeed, but still manageable I think. However, I feel the overall quality has diminished somewhat though.

    My next milestone is really far away (+101 levels) at which I will pick up Dragonstalker Rexxar as my third T2 hero portrait like I mentioned before.

    The current meta is quite stale already. Do we have some new info about the upcoming Wailing Caverns mini-set? When do we expect it will be released?

    Finally reach lv.100 today.

    Been extra lucky for getting "Play a friend" quest twice in last week. That extra 3000xp really helping my lazy play within this stale meta.
    Nothing change much with facing either Paladin/Hunter or Ticklock. I still love to play Control Warrior (sometime Control Shaman), but once I face Tickatus, all that extra fun is all gone.

    For now, I'm just gonna sit back and wait for the miniset. Won't touch Hearthstone for at least every 3rd day of full daily quest.
    I guess this is what they called a burnout.

    I've been playing some Control Warrior too, and I don't have problems with the Tickatus Warlock matchups, which I'd say is 60-40. I just mulligan hard for Rattlegore and try to pressure the Warlock with as much damage as I could before I drop it. Of course, there's always the chance that Rattlegore ends up on the bottom of your deck, or your opponent plays Jaraxxus first, but most of the time I find the matchup winnable. 

    And I agree with you on the stale meta. I can't bring myself to play every day anymore, or even every other day. The prevalence of the same meta decks since the expansion released has been very tiring, and I just find myself not wanting to deal with them that much anymore. Not a good thing since I resolved to complete the entire Tavern Pass this time around...

    After a week I´ve jumped 20 lvls to lvl 120 (helps a lot that after lvl 100, XP required is lower again). I´m getting close to my second T2 hero too (<30 lvls).

    Can´t wait for the miniset to shake up the meta, like some ppl here stated, I don´t feel like playing ranked these days, just quests and Brawl for a pack, that´s all.

    I hit level 100 earlier this week; currently at 108. Pretty smooth sailing with the purchased pass.

    I chose to go with the Tavern pass and NO pre-order to see how that felt as far as gold earnings, pack earnings, and overall collection speed. I think it definitely kept the gold flowing well, and I was able to maintain a 3000+ balance despite not doing so well in Duels over the last 6 weeks. My collection and pack earnings seemed fine, as well. Though it's important to mention I have a massive build up of dust since I've been playing so long so I have the freedom to dust cards and craft epic or legendary cards as needed to round out any deck I want to play. 

    As a few mentioned already, the standard meta is pretty stale. I'm sick of playing vs. paladins with cards that have above-curve power levels in every mana slot. I have been ranking up in wild this month using ConcernedMom's Ragnaros deck, though I've worked in 2x Thrive in the Shadows to improve the chances to get copies of Shadow Essence.

     

     

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

    Just hit 100. Did tavern pass this time. Honestly Diamond Sumaro was the best item on the paid track. Rest was okay. Not sure if I'd buy again but that depends on the Diamond card I guess. The free track felt really good though, lots of rewards, good progress. Though I do hate "uncraftable" cards, still nice to get free stuff. A lot of free Legendaries gifted out this time too. I feel like I have a lot more despite not opening many in packs.

    Barrens Legendary = 10 

    Darkmoon Legendary = 8 (Ignoring the 4 miniset ones)

    Closer than I thought after comparing. Still feels good.

    The addition of the "Tavern Regular" achievement though was great. Love having the extra rewards for completing multiple tracks. 

    For comparison Darkmoon track when I hit the end (50 back then) as free I had about 3k gold pre mini set. Right now, hitting 100, I'm at 2300. I did buy The Thunder King for gold when he came back. So that's 1500 well spent. Still not bad since I'm hitting it slightly earlier as paid this time. Mini set around the Corner no doubt I'll buy it out for gold again. Can't wait to see where I end as the expansion closes around august.

    I just reached level 173 and now have 9 classes with 1000 or more wins. It feels really weird to only have Demon Hunter left to complete this feat. Almost feels like I completed Hearthstone with some loose ends here and there.

    Also, I conceded a lot of times on the Wild ranked legend ladder to efficiently gain more wins. Now my MMR is completely out of whack because after each win it is still going down, crazy stuff 😅

    In a week I´ve jumped 10 lvls to lvl 130. Can´t wait for the miniset and new XP achievements (and hopefully new meta :))

    How are you all doing so far?

    I hit level 90 today, went up 5 levels. I finally got the Kazakus coin! Nice. 

    My play rate has seriously dwindled. I'm mostly playing on weekends now, though I play sporadically on weekdays when I feel like it. I've found a new deck that I like though: Corrupt Priest. I went the greed route and put C'Thun, the Shattered, Y'Shaarj, the Defiler, and Yogg-Saron, Master of Fate (mostly to corrupt the numerous corrupt cards in the deck; the 5-mana C'thun spells really help). I was one win away from legend with the deck until I tumbled down to Diamond 2 again thanks to a wave of Paladins. 

    Can't wait for the mini-set. I'm planning on reaching level 100 by the time it releases, so I'll play a lot in the upcoming week.

    I reached level 191 playing mostly weird decks in mega dumpster Wild legend ranks. I have no interest in playing against the meta decks in Standard, so I have been completing a few of the no-XP achievements in Wild. Also, finally hit the 12 consecutive wins achievement with the current best Wild deck Hand Buff Paladin whilst trying to complete another achievement. I think the first loss came after 20 wins. The mini-set cannot come soon enough, because the game is quite boring at this moment for me.

    Nearing 100 soon, currently 10 levels away. For the skin, probably going to spring for Pally or Mage, since I have zero alternate skins for them.

    I'm at level 97, and it's really a grind when your quest tray is empty. You need to complete your daily quest for 1000+ xp, then play a minimum of three hours to reach the next level. That's with me playing a grindy deck like Corrupt Priest whose games take so long, with 100+ xp attained per game. 

    I only need one more level to be able to get a Tier 2 hero skin. I'm really at a dilemma over which Tier 2 portrait to choose. I've narrowed down my choices to Valeera, Thrall, Jaina, or Malfurion, but my problem is I don't play these classes that much these days. Gaaah, I'll cross this bridge again when I get there tomorrow. 

    As for the Tier 1 hero portraits on level 100, I'm torn between Gul'dan, Malfurion, and Illidan. Might choose the former, but there's the problem again of not playing Warlock that much recently...decisions, decisions.

    Yesterday, I reached the halfway point of the Rewards Track (level 200) right when the Wailing Caverns mini-set was released. Time to start doing the new XP achievements for the additional 3600 (+20%) XP.

    I played a funny Wild match against the new Warlock combo deck with Stealer of Souls, Plot Twist, Violet Illusionist, Cataclysm and Mecha'thun. My opponent played the combo while I had a Bad Luck Albatross on board. Needless to say, the combo failed of course and my opponent immediately shame conceded afterwards 😂

    I fought a Warlock who had the same combo. They would have won except for some reason they played Cataclysm before Mecha'thun. Then they conceded.

    I hit level 100 yesterday! What a grind, now I can grind for gold more easily now. 

    I chose Cenarion Malfurion for the level 100 skin since I'm playing a lot of Druid anyway, and the skin grew on me as time passed. It was either that or the Felheart Gul'dan, but I'll get that one in the next tavern pass. Clowning on opponents with my Clown Druid while wearing that Cenarion skin feels good!

    As for the Tier 2 portraits, I chose Ten Storm Thrall, since it's the best-looking skin there for me. I wanted to try some Enhancement Shaman as well, so might as well get a new portrait while playing it.

    However, I checked again today and apparently I can claim another Tier 2 portrait? I thought it was supposed to be for every 200 levels that you gain? Including the past tavern pass, I've only attained like 200+ levels, not 400. Am I missing something? Anyway, I chose Deathmantle Valeera after much thought. I don't really like any of the other Tier 2 portraits, but next time I'm probably choosing the Jaina one. Hope the second one isn't a bug, Blizzard better not take away my new Valeera portrait!

    Today I´ve hit lvl 150, went up 20 lvls this week. Managed to complete the Tavern Regular achievement with it, and got to choose my second Tier 2 hero: Dragonstalker Rexxar. With purchasable cardbacks and new mini set I´m totally out of cards gold, so I´m saving everything ´till the next expansion.

    According to the achievement box, it's 204 total track levels. So yeah, it's most likely a bug. I was surprised when I saw another "Claim" box when I was just browsing through the Tier 2 portraits.

    Okay now, it´s definitely a bug. Today I´ve logged in for my dailies and found an alert icon that I can choose my 3rd Tier 2 Hero for 600 lvls (my count is still on 403). Picked Ten Storm Thrall, just to see if it lets me claim it and yeah, I have him unlocked in my collection. According to HSReddit, there are more people with this bug. Weird.

    I reached level 225 and finished all the new Wailing Caverns XP achievements.

    Stealer of Souls is getting banned on Wednesday which means I can finally play Wild again afterwards.

    For the rest of this year, I will focus on reaching 1000 wins with Demon Hunter. Still 572 wins to go though. At least, Illidan will turn golden very soon™ 😁

    EDIT: I managed to assemble Quel'Delar for the first time in Duels. This weapon is really awesome. I am loving it! 🍟🍔

    I just got to lvl 120, which I know isn't a lot compared to everyone else... But I'm so happy.

    This is the first expansion where I have 81% of all the cards of a set (counting WC), including more than half of the legends, 20k gold for the next expansion, 7 packs that has next set's cards, 10k dust left, and we still have 2 months left to get gold and tavern packs. Considering I've only spent $40,  I'm thrilled.

    Well met! RobinSmith#1414

    Been getting some free wins in wild while using a soul stealer deck with plot twist that does not have a win condition. But people just surrender after they see those 2 cards. Trying to get the "Spend Health on cards" achivement.

    Reaching Lv.144. Got pretty good push while completing 90% achievement. The one left are getting 4 of the same adventurer, copy 5 secrets, and 2 from legendaries that I don't have.

    2000 gold from that immediately spent on new Standard & Wild Packs (10 packs each). Just to get the pity timer off. Totally worth it (5 epic and 2 legendaries from 10 Standard Packs alone, wild doesn't really matter).
    So, I guess it's a good thing the miniset is there after all. At least the motivation to play is up once more.

    I think I can hit lv.200 if I counted only doing quests from now on.

    I reached level 252 and picked up (as previously decided) the Dragonstalker Rexxar hero portrait which is awesome!

    Playing Hearthstone feels like routine these days and thus less fun, borderline boring even (at least for me). Do not get me wrong, I am trying to mix up things though, like playing different game modes (except Arena).

    My primary objective is to reach 1000 wins with Demon Hunter (still requires a whopping 450 wins). I also have no more XP achievements left to complete.

    So, I guess the long wait for the next expansion has already started for me once again *SIGH* 🙄

    285 lvl now with "ethical" botting in BG.

    Got simple mouse recording program, for simple sequence of clicks (select hero, buy minion, sell 7th minion on board drom right side, place new one to the left, tap on hp, lvl up tavern, etc), after 5-6 attempts i created working script.

    This method don't hurt anyone, unlike constructed odd warriors bots (ugh!). 75% BG achievements, 3500 rating, 2000-3000 exp per night. Cons of current version - stuck after opponent's connection fail, can't correctly apply gems/bananas. There is room for improvements, ofc.

    I can share this script file, if anyone's interested (only for 1920*1080 screens).

    Reaching Lv. 177.

    Getting that feels to avoid playing Hearthstone again after facing 4 RNG priest in Diamond 5 consecutively. Now back to playing Hearthstone every 3rd day. Or at least until Fire Festival. We'll see.

    But with a month left before a new reward track (and possibly more grinding achievements), I wonder if anyone has reached Lv. 400 yet? (or wanted to). I mean someone has to be there already.

    I haven´t seen anything on Reddit yet (or might have missed it), but I think probably not. I could be wrong tho, seeing the post above you - clearly there are many people using bots to get there asap.

    On topic, I´ve finally reached lvl 200 (went up 15 lvls this past week). I´m at 98% XP achievements done, only one left to do - the Demon Hunter´s one. But I think I´ll pass this one, even did the Paladin´s one, but this is too much for me I guess :P

    I have reached level 290 (without botting). Current Demon Hunter wins: 625 (+55)

    I will probably just about reach level 350 by the end of the current Rewards Track which was my secondary target.

    As for botting, I have no intention whatsoever of using such a thing to farm XP during idle times. The sheer feeling that something (other than myself) has access to my HS client/app (which I have spent a lot of money on) and theoretically can do anything inside it prevents me from ever using a bot. I know this feeling is not truly warranted because bots can simply be programmed to your wishes, but it is still too scary for me. Besides this feeling, what is really the point (for me at least) anyways? I already have a forever growing stockpile of gold (and dust) lying around.

    I'm currently at level 129. I only started playing again three days ago after a two-week hiatus, so I gained 18 levels since then. These playing droughts are becoming more common for me though...I'm starting to feel like the day I'll be quitting Hearthstone will be coming to an end. 

    Even though I gained quite a lot of levels these past few days, it's been a miserable experience. I've been trying a bunch of off-meta decks like a Miracle C'Thun Rogue, Fire and Ice Mage, and a Deathrattle Hunter (the latter two I got from Kibler). While I like the decks, the meta is just so fast for them that I just keep dying to the multitudes of aggro and burn decks out there. So many losses. I ended up playing Doomhammer Elemental Shaman to make up for it; I went on a 10-game winning streak but hated myself all the while. 

    Just a shitty meta all around. Any meta being ruled by face decks is a dumb one.

    I agree, that the aggro meta is just too fast and dying by turn 5-6 does not allow to play the game. 
    I do not play as much as the last expansion as well, hitting level 175

    Currently at 225 with pass. This was my final result the expansion before - now i  want to see if i can reach 40 lvls more (20 packs) to get the packs back.

    Off topic: Does anyone know when the card reveal season for "United in Stormwind" starts?

    Okay, another week, went up from lvl 200 to lvl 210. All XP achievements done. Last time I´ve ended at 225 I think, so it´s possible I´ll end up there this time too.

    How ya´ll doing so far and where do you think you´ll end?

    P.S. I´ve found the first person claiming to finish the track today, hitting the lvl 400. Not sure how true it is tho, the picture looks sus :P

    Micro update, I have reached level 304. Current Demon Hunter wins: 633 (+8)

    I should still be on track to reach level 350, just before the next expansion hits in August.

    Getting to 185. I don't really play that much anymore, since I finished downloading RE:Village and start playing it in my downtime.

    A little question I would like to ask, if they change the reward track from first 50 to 100 without any XP changes, wouldn't it be logical that I should get the +50 level from previous reward track if I played exactly the same daily hour everyday?

    For example, if I get to Lv.207 in DMF, I should be at Lv.257 in Barrens right? But it seems strange I ended up near Lv.207 again this time. Did they add more XP to the track? I hope there's explanation for this, because I don't think I wanna look at those XP charts again.

    If I remember correctly, for a better levelling up user experience they simply frontloaded the 50 extra levels at the very beginning of the Rewards Track and kept the total amount of XP needed for the whole ride exactly the same. One of the differences is that there is less XP to be gained from Duels this time around if you already collected those XP points during last expansion. Furthermore, some extra free stuff was added to this Rewards Track, but that of course does not explain why you have progressed less far. I think it is most likely that you just played a bit less unbeknownst to yourself.

    I hope this info helps 😇

    When I look at my own progression during this rewards track, there is going to be a difference of 50 levels. In fact, it is actually closer to a 80 levels difference, because I finished the previous rewards track 2 weeks prior to the Forged in the Barrens launch. I played a lot less during this expansion though, because last time was an unhealthy personal challenge.

    'A bit less playing' doesn't really explain why I pushed so far behind. Losing nearly 75K xp (50lvl*1500) doesn't really make sense. Plus I did achievements even higher than previous expansions.

    Sure, previous expansion got Duels achievements, which I did and added about 20K xp to the track. But that was it.
    EDIT. Now that I think about this, adding duels xp reward would've bring me to even higher level than my level now. Argh, the more I think of this, the more I stressed out. I should just be grateful to get more gold than ever.

    I guess there's one way to test it, whether next expansion gets me to the same level or not.

    When I put even more thought into this, did we not get the new rewards track introduced last time about a 1 week prior to the launch of Madness at the Darkmoon Faire? If so, this means we had extra time to collect XP at the very beginning.

    Yeah, no one can forget about those. The start of Reward Track fiasco. But also make sense. 1 week headstart + Duels achievements.
    At least I still have 12K gold to spent on the next expansion if I fail to get any giveaway chances.

    One last possible factor (that I can think of now) could be the game modes you played was perhaps different between the 2 reward tracks? There was some prior mentioning that Standard ranked ladder rewards the most XP per time played (33% more XP relatively). Unless this happened or they stealthily tweaked the XP gain ratio in our disadvantage, you should indeed not experience a significant XP decrease with a similar playrate compared to the previous rewards track.

    Just hit Level 143, with only 5,300 gold. Not too happy with my progress, it's just tough to level up when your quest tray is empty. Looks like the most levels I can hit per week is 10, which means I'll top out at around level 170. I was hoping to hit at least level 200, but oh well. 

    Since it's Nozdormu Day, I put Nozdormu in my Deathrattel DH. I played 7 games with it and only faced one that had Noz as well. Come on, guys! Put the damn dragon in your decks, you cowards

    So I´ve hit lvl 225, which is exactly where I´ve ended last RT. Seems to me I could possibly hit lvl 250 till the new expansion, so I feel like my progress is a bit better, playing the same amount of time as the last track. I will buy the new TP, if the cost stays the same, I´m pretty satisfied with it so far.

    Level 197 with Pass. I play about the same as last expansion, I expect to hit 220-230 by next expansion. But this time I did not grinded the achievements.

    I have ~7000 gold which is the same I had without reward track but this is because I purchased all missing cardbacks (I missed the esport one and the first 6 months of ranked play).

    I thought WTH, and push the pedal and reach Lv.204. Claimed my 2nd Reward Portrait (Garrosh) and still not gonna play Standard. BG only until some control deck enter the meta once more. (Long have I waited for Mage, Warrior or Shaman Control deck)

    I am at level 323 (with Tavern Pass), which means I am slightly behind schedule for reaching my secondary objective: level 350. I remain optimistic about completing this goal though.

    Current Demon Hunter wins: 675 (+42)

    In two weeks, I should be sitting on a projected 18K pile of gold, right before United in Stormwind launches. If only the remaining 14 currently unobtainable cardbacks become purchasable for gold, right? 😇

    I am at level 338 now and back on track again to reach level 350 in seven days.

    Current Demon Hunter wins: 707 (+32)

    Since the second rewards track is almost coming to an end, what are your thoughts about this reward system so far?

    My opinion is that we are indeed able to collect more gold (as promised), but my average playtime is still considerably higher compared to the past. The current rate at which new cosmetics are being added scares me a little bit. Also, I hope United in Stormwind will improve the meta significantly or at least make Hearthstone much more interesting (the new Mercenaries game mode might help). Otherwise, I will probably set even lower personal goals for the next rewards track (like reaching only level 300 at the very end).

    Easy to say, I've been getting more gold (~3K to 4K more gold per expansion) and that's positive outcome. Although I'll admit that we've had to cross some weeks of outrage to finally get here. But if these trends keep going for the better, then I'll have to say it's far better now than in the past.

    And sad to say, that I've been missing 3 daily quests since Thursday, because I've not playing Hearthstone that often anymore. I blame Capcom for making an addictive zombie game. (I love it).

    Probably finish all weeklies and go back to it. I guess getting to Lv.200 each expansion is far enough for me.

    So apparently the Barrens achievements won't be rewarding experience anymore today...damn it! I was only 4 away from completing the "Cast 100 Rank 3 spells" one, and was also close to completing the "summon 50 Demonspawns" and forcing your opponent to pay extra mana with the Taintheart Tormentor. Not to mention, I bungled the "Destroy your opponent with Mankrik" one after I screwed up the order of play. So much experience gone to waste, damn it all!!!

    Anyway, I'm only at Level 162 in the Tavern Pass. Major fail from me, after I vowed to at least get to level 250. Ah well. Still a few more days left to hike that level up to at least 170. I'll really push for a higher level in the next one, I promise!

    Aw really? That really sucks :/ I thought, as many of us, that they will last till the new expansion release, or at least till the start of august.

    On topic, I´ve hit lvl 245 so I have few more days to get my goal of lvl 250. So far it feels good, since I didn´t play much apart from doing dailies and grinding the XP achievements.

    Looks like I'll end up at around Lv198 before the expansion launches. A lot better than I thought I was going to get.

    Do we get new weekly quests on expansion day, the 3rd, or is it just going to be on the 2nd like normal?
    I want to try to get the most early exp I can on the next rewards track so I don't open those free cards through packs. (As opposed to getting a few more bonus levels on this current track.)

    I believe it will be normal day reset. So save the weeklies from the 2nd  for a boost in this track.

    I'm very happy where I landed about 226 with Pass. About 6000 gold, where I normally come in at 2-3k. I never push achievements and just get what I get.

    Not sure I'll get new tavern pass but Cheff Scabbs is making me reconsider!

    I will definitely get the new Tavern Pass, but I will skip the 2 Battlegrounds portraits limited bundles. Bummer, because up till now I have all the collectible cosmetics (except for a few exclusive cardbacks).

    Reasons FOR buying:

    • I am a completionist (gotta catch em all, so shut up and take my money!)

    Reason AGAINST buying:

    • I cannot keep up with the huge influx of cosmetics (would become another money sink)
    • I do not play Battlegrounds all that often (might as well be a different game altogether)
    • Except for the bartender portraits, there is no guarantee the new hero portraits will be offered frequently enough for you to see them anyways (some of the hero portraits are overwhelmingly cute though)

    Just my 2 cents.

    I think Lv.220 is gonna be my max level. Starting Sunday thru Tuesday, not gonna touch any quests to get the level boost for new track.

    Reminder to everyone to start another 2 losses shenanigan on Arena again, since they are rotating again. One more pack and small reward is always needed. Pity I didn't get any pack from twitch drop earlier.

    And we'll met again in the next Reward track article.

    So I´ve ended up on lvl 251, one level above the expectation (the last one I´ve ended at lvl 225 I think). I´m taking a three day holiday from HS - will hoard the next three daily and weekly quests for the new rewards track. My gold count is slightly above 8500 (bought the miniset, 6 cardbacks - Pandaria ♥, Power Core and 4 preorder ones, and a few wild card packs). I´m planning to buy the next Tavern pass, cause I´ve been quite satisfied with it so far.

    So how did you all fare so far? Did you meet your expectations? Are you happy with your results and keeping your dailies for the next track, or will you complete all of them till the new RT starts to maximize your current level count? Any other thoughts? Let us know :)

    Anyway, thank you all for your comments, sharing your score/thoughts and keeping things civil. I will pass my torch of making another Rewards track thread to someone else - feel free to make a new one, if you want to - we can make this a nice community habit :)

    Cheers all and hopefully see you in the next one!

    I've finally reached level 226, which was my goal for this expansion cycle. Combined with reaching level 174 for the Darkmoon track, it puts my total levels at an even 400 for the cumulative levels achievement. Now I just have to reach an even 200 every time to stay on track with my hero skin rewards! I may reach 227, since I have one 'extra' daily quest out of the three I plan on saving for the Stormwind launch. No XP boosts here. According to calculations, I would have been around level 270 with the boosts.

    During this period, I purchased 63 packs, 3 hero skins at 1500, the miniset, and the Power Core card back. Which means I spent roughly 13400 gold and earned roughly 12000. That I still have 9300 gold right now is a testament to how little money I spent during Darkmoon (I only purchased 15 Darkmoon packs)! Cosmetic purchases aside, I'm usually happy to simply slowly roll my way to having 100% of rares. As a Wild player I only craft specific things here and there and the packs from ranked rewards, promotions, events, drops, and tavern brawls are enough for my needs.

    We'll see how Stormwind pans out. Best of luck to all.

    I have just ended up on level 350. My gold balance is now 18K which is about 2K more than last time. I spent roughly 17K on packs, the mini set and cardbacks. I still need 260 more wins to collect the final 1K Demon Hunter hero portrait.

    I do not know what to expect from United in Stormwind, because of all the new and revisited mechanics. Should be lots of fun though and a fresh new meta hopefully. My primary goals will be to reach the 15% and 20% XP bonus levels of the new Tavern Pass track as soon as possible. As for what the next Rewards Track end level will ultimately be, who knows?

    As always, I have enjoyed writing and reading about our individual journeys throughout the Rewards Track and I hope to continue this tradition of ours for many future sets to come.

    Good luck to you all. Safe travels to Stormwind where we will have glorious battles and hopefully meet once again. Bye!

    Just got level 219, sitting on 10140 gold and a 2 loss Arena run. Even setting aside 2000 for the miniset, 81+ packs ain't bad. Really hoping to get back into Rogue with the SI:7 this expansion, though Warlock's Quest looking pretty good too.

    I'm at level 248 on the paid pass and that will be it for me.  I only got to level 220 for Darkmoon, however I feel like I put in more time this go round.  Plus I completed all but 1 achievement in Barrens as opposed to half of the achievements in Darkmoon (mainly for not having the right cards).  The Rewards track pass still seems good and I will purchase it again, but I'm still slightly disappointed.  I like the idea of the achievements, but they are starting to feel like a chore.

    I'll be stopping at level 172, gonna save up my new weekly quests for the next expansion so I can zoom up the levels of the new battle pass. I'm disappointed that I couldn't clear level 200, but work prevented me from playing that much Hearthstone in the past expansion (that and the meta was very boring). I'll make that my goal again for the next battle pass cycle, and I'm sure I'll exceed it now. 

    I've accumulated close to 9000 gold, with 2,000 going to the mini-set so I'm currently sitting at 6,800. I'll use that to buy only 50 packs since I bought the standard bundle. I'll try to hoard as much gold as I can so I can avoid buying another bundle for the next expansion. 

    See you all at the next Rewards Track thread!
