    The quest change is absolute insanity and is not the way you increase engagement in the game. I'd love to know what business unit said we need to make quests take longer and provide rewards that are not inline with the time.

    Heya! Our Known Issues thread mentions the card bbcode tags being removed. It was not an intentional change, just when we upgraded the editor all our old plugins no longer worked. The next site update will have this resolved, alongside a bunch of other stuff!

    I have added the quote problem to the known issues thread. I missed adding it in the last thread update.

    I'll kick things off here.

    This month I'm planning on playing a bit more of the new Path of Exile Necropolis league. I'm also planning on jumping back onto WoW to participate in the monthly trading post goodies and maybe some of the pre-cataclysm events going on inside Classic.

    I also really want to do a few long F1 2023 sessions before the new game comes out this year. I just need to find the time. I also want to finish Far Cry 6 with my friend because we started a playthrough in December and haven't gone back to it since then. Oops.

    Check your settings pane.

    Mercenaries data has an optional download component now (has for a little bit) and maybe that isn't downloaded.

    I couldn't agree more! Passwords are quickly becoming old fashioned and I'll be looking to integrate passkeys support into the site down the line to help with that.

    I think I did alright. I haven't played Hearthstone for two years so coming back into it can be a tad overwhelming. Big fan of Battlecry Shaman though so seeing Fairy Tale Forest was pretty sweet.

    Similarly, lol at the Incredible Value as golden. YESSS

    Not related to recent site issues, but this is definitely a problem! The search system is still using the old forums and not new realm threads. 

    I've been working on Search 2.0, I started last week and have it nearing completion, so I'm hopeful we can get that out this week which should solve the problem. The new search is a much more pleasant experience and might actually be useful to folks.

    Some things that have been fixed:

    • You can once again reply to threads/news/etc.
    • Editing comments works.
    • Replying to a comment works.
    • Hearthstone deck and card listings have styles again.
    • You can create threads again on realms.
    • You can edit deck guides again.

    Some things that are broken:

    • When you leave a reply, it takes you to a page with a bunch of code instead of correctly nesting the new comment on the page.
    • Quoting comments does work.
    • Our editor no longer displays shortcuts for custom bbcode.
      • This might be a larger fix than expected so apologies if it takes some time for this to return.

    I have never seen this game in my life but this definitely fits!

    As others have said, this is an awesome card and it will be a staple in Dragon decks. I'm quite curious what Blizzard's plans will be for Dragons going forward. Could we see a nice chunk of them towards the end in the year with that celestial expansion that was teased? Or maybe the Bronze Dragonflight is having some fun at the beach in whatever the second expansion is.

    This looks like a ton of fun. I haven't played Rimworld in a while but it's definitely up there in my top games of all time and an expansion seems like a great reason to go mess around with some colonies.

    You put that extremely well, link. The lack of real guild content in the game didn't give us that extra bit of engagement! Seasons are definitely boring and the weekly rotation of families does have its flaws. I was very lucky when I had started that I picked the right hero because my shop rotation worked out well and I was able to scale power quickly with that and the dungeons. Not to mention the thousands of gold I received for server problems that went right into the primary army.

    I really should have touched on passives. The mechanic is super shitty and I've been lucky enough that I don't feel like I've bricked any units, but it's clearly a problem that people are having. I was thinking the game might have a heavy Pay to Win element with you getting all the abilities at the same time once you leveled up enough, so I suppose I'm a little thankful that is not the case.

    I still have some hope that more might happen with it. Until then though, yeah I'm just not feeling it anymore.

    I was so excited for Skyward Sword since I didn't finish the original one, I even bough the special Zelda Joy-Cons they released for it. But I never ended up getting to carve out enough time for it. Zelda just isn't one of those games I want to play for half an hour at a time so it got tossed aside. Sigh.

    That's good to hear the motion controls are easy to recalibrate should stuff get wonky. Nothing better than slicing your sword at enemies!

    Congratulations to Lemushki, sule, and anchorm4n for winning the giveaway! You have all been sent emails and private messages with instructions on how to claim your prizes. Here are their winning entries:


    LemushkiBotface Comment

    Quote From lemushki

    This one seems really powerfull as all minis are… Also Rotface was one of my favourite warrior cards ever. This one IS not going unnoticed by me.

    I think this Will see play and maybe with the doctor?

    If not… It at least Will be found


    Sule - Toy Captain Tarim Comment

    Quote From sule

    This is interesting: The first half of Tarim is obviously going to be used as a buff for a smaller friendly minion, and the second half as a debuff for an enemy minion. A neat little two-for-one for aggro pally; I think there's a ton of gas for that archetype so I'm fairly certain we'll be seeing this guy around. (sidenote: one of the great tragedies of Baku-era standard was that Odd Paladin was so good that the obviously busted 6-Cost Tarim was close to an afterthought).


    Anchorm4n - Voting on Painter's Virtue

    Since we can't preview the vote, instead, here's anchorm4n's comment!

    Quote From anchorm4n

    Weird stats on this one. Obviously a hand wide buff can't be too cheap, but why not skip the Lifesteal and give it Windfury instead? Or just reduce the cost a bit… I'm not sold on this one.


    Also, fun fact! Anchorm4n is one of the only people who has contributed articles to the website as a non-staff member. Graveyard Deathrattle Rogue was a hell of a deck. We really need to bring back wild Wednesdays.
