Have you considered Tundra Rhino instead of Pit Crocolisk? It would allow you to otk control decks with dire frenzied timber wolves. That's caught me out a good few times when playing control warrior. You'd probably need a second timber wolf as well, in order to do this consistently.
I like meta changes but... man it really is a "Feels Bad - moment" - when you just master your favourite deck, there would be 2 more months of the meta to enjoy it... but instead it is about to change, probably in a big way.
Agreed - really looking forward to the meta shakeup, but frantically trying to hit dad legend before the new cards throw everything into chaos!
I pmed frostyfeet about this last night and he got back to me about half an hour later.
He said there has been talk in the long term of implementing a trading system that allows you to tracks users' reputations etc., but that will be for further down the line, presumably because it would take quite a bit of work.
In the short term, he's contacted the mod team with a view to investigating a solution for the current 80g Trading thread.
In the mean time I guess we just tread carefully: trade at our own risk, ideally arrange to complete your opponent's trade first and, if not, always ask to see your opponent's quest before trading. Failing that, just give your 80g to a friend :)
I vote to have this list added to the top of the thread ASAP. I just got scammed myself, and it turns out the battletag was on that blacklist.
I sent the first challenge, intending it to be a proof challenge, but they accepted instead of declined. I feel like a complete fucking idiot for not backing out of the deck selection.
Sorry to hear that m8. Remember the game doesn't count for the quest unless one of you is below 15 health when it ends, so you can concede any time before then and retain your quest.
I don't tend to post in forums much, so I'm not very familiar with the etiquette of these kinda sites. I realise my post isn't a great way to address the issue, but figured it was better than doing nothing. I also thought that reporting the post might have led to wider action than simply deleting it, but I guess not.
Haven't a clue what Discord is, but I'll gladly take your advice and pm a mod today.
Just bumping this, as I see vegetaz posted again today, and the post has been down voted again (not by me), suggesting another scam victim.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how this sort of behaviour can be addressed, as not only does it mean people can regularly be scammed out of 80 gold, but it damages the integrity of the site? Please share your ideas!
Can I warn anyone using the 80g Quest Trading thread not to trade with Vegetaz (Battletag: HaVoC#2426), as I strongly suspect she/he's using the thread to farm community members for their 80 gold quests when she/he doesn't have one to trade with. Reasons I suspect this are as follows:
I currently have the 80g quest and viewed the 80g Quest thread at around 7am GMT today to find the latest EU member who had posted, so I could do a quick trade. Vegetaz/HaVoC had posted, offering the trade, on the condition that whoever responded goes first, so I requested him/her in the game. She/he accepted me. So far, so good. I then asked to see Vegetaz/HaVoC's quest before I initiated a game (and my 80g quest) with him/her.
At this point, Vegetaz/HaVoC posted back with words to the effect of "What, don't you trust me? Just play your quest or I'll find someone else.". I replied saying, basically, "Well, why would I trust you? I've only just met you?" At that point Vegetaz/HaVoC defriended me, with no further reply. I reported the post with the information I've given here. I also had another look at Vegetaz/HaVoC's post on the 80g thread and noticed it had been downvoted. I added my own downvote for good measure.
I checked the site when I got home from work about half an hour ago, and Vegetaz's post has been removed, presumably as a result of me reporting it. However, I had a look back over the last few pages of the thread. On page 22, Vegetaz has posted five separate offers of the 80g quest over the course of the last week, and each post has been downvoted, suggesting another member has been fleeced by him / her, or smelt a rat, as I did.
I hope none of the mods mind me flagging this up in a separate thread, but it seems like this user is a serial scammer. I see that there isn't currently a blacklist at the start of the 80g thread (as was the case on the old site) and I'm not sure if the thread is regularly monitored by any mods, so there's possibly a vulnerability that's being exploited here. I think the community on this site is awesome - a lot more respectful of each other than the old site - and I just wanna do my bit to keep it that way.
Anyway, that's it. Bottom line is, don't trade with Vegetaz (Battletag: HaVoC#2426)
Not really, except I was glad I resisted the urge to dust my Golden Dr.Boom, My first pulled legendary from Boomsday, and Dusted him when he received his "Nerf". I don't play warrior at all and almost every 1st legendary or free legendary I've ever pulled has been Warrior. /sigh.
Other than getting a golden Dr. Boom I feel you man. Most of my freebies are Warrior aswell, and it's my least liked class..
This has been me with priest! Chameleos, cloning gallery, lazul, bwonsamdi, the list goes on. To be honest though, I have no strong class affiliation, and generally play decks geared towards legendaries I unpack, but until combo priest arrived in the meta, it's been hard to do much with the priest legendaries i have.
Having said that, i do enjoy playing my janky thief priest deck every now and then, but I don't think it's going to be bothering the meta any time soon.
As I see it, it works in a similar way to Subject 9 in Highlander Hunter. It's a mid to late game card that draws all your early game, so that a) your hand gets refilled and b) your deck is thinned out, making your future top-decks more useful. Admittedly, sometimes by the time you play it you've already drawn all your early game, but at the very least it's a 7:7 body that needs to be removed, and can potentially be used to divine spirit / inner fire your way to victory.
Hi all. Feeling quite pleased with myself this month, as I resisted the urge to dust Bwonsamdi, the Dead when I was given her/him/it as my free legendary at the launch of Rastakhan's Rumble. Over the last few weeks, the card has gone from dumpster tier to a core card in combo priest, arguably the best deck in the game atm.
Does anyone else have any smug tales of duff cards they've resisted the urge to dust, only for them to become extremely useful long after their release? Or are there cards sitting in your collection right now, which you're hoping will one day prove their worth? I'm still holding out for that Harbinger Celestia meta...
Aggro warrior is certainly competitive. Is it fun to play?
Thinking about crafting the 4x uldum warrior legendaries I would need for the deck. I don't have grom, but I hear he's a bit of a flex spot and would probably use instead.
Not hugely replayable, but flavour wise kft is pretty high up there for me. That opening game when your shitty deck gets trounced by the lich king was an awesome bm that I never saw coming. It also made for some brilliant streamer highlights, as their sad wee faces looked on as they got obliterated. Rising up again to fight as frost lich jaina was the icing on the cake.
In the same vein, I also loved rafaam in loe - "I like your deck, I think I'll TAKE IT!"
My guess is the single player will end with the cliche of The League of EVIL unleashing something they can’t control. Elise leading the league will have to put said evil back or destroy it.
Bonus prediction: Explorers and EVIL will work together in the last expansion.
Interesting theory. Trump's reveal vid for Hack the System briefly references an expansion called 'The Cataclysm'. Probably just bait rather than a reference to a future expansion but, if there was any truth in it, the flavour implied by the name would sort of fit with what you're suggesting.
Not quite what you were asking, but I am rather enjoying the golden Hunter's Pack I'm running in my highlander hunter deck. The animation is pretty decent in itself, plus it adds 3 golden cards to your hand when played, so in theory you could wind up with King Krush, Rat Trap and Gladiator's Longbow glinting back at you - damn good value for a common card :)
Zephrys seems like a must craft, if you don't already have him from packs. I was initially put off him as the highlander route is pretty expensive, given that most builds tend to run a lot of legendaries and I'm a budget player. However he seems to be being run increasingly in non-highlander builds as a late game value bomb, plus he's so damn fun!
Still holding out for my next legendary from packs though, just in case I get lucky. I opened a psychopomp this morning, one of the other cards on my wishlist, so my crafting abstinence seems to be paying off.

I have a golden mogu cultist, so I've been having a blast running it with innervate, wild growth, zephrys, swipe and elise.
Summoning Ra is fun!

Thanks for the suggestions.

Peace out,
Majere
I feel your pain, primus. I learned the same lesson after de-ing Hadronox during the first few weeks of kft :/
This has been me with priest! Chameleos, cloning gallery, lazul, bwonsamdi, the list goes on. To be honest though, I have no strong class affiliation, and generally play decks geared towards legendaries I unpack, but until combo priest arrived in the meta, it's been hard to do much with the priest legendaries i have.

Thanks mate, will probably give it a go!
No problem mate :)

Plus, just look at him, he's a total badass!

Nah, its 1 common and 1 uldum pack afaik. Anything else is strictly for larfs
Not quite what you were asking, but I am rather enjoying the golden Hunter's Pack I'm running in my highlander hunter deck. The animation is pretty decent in itself, plus it adds 3 golden cards to your hand when played, so in theory you could wind up with King Krush, Rat Trap and Gladiator's Longbow glinting back at you - damn good value for a common card :)
Zephrys seems like a must craft, if you don't already have him from packs. I was initially put off him as the highlander route is pretty expensive, given that most builds tend to run a lot of legendaries and I'm a budget player. However he seems to be being run increasingly in non-highlander builds as a late game value bomb, plus he's so damn fun!
Still holding out for my next legendary from packs though, just in case I get lucky. I opened a psychopomp this morning, one of the other cards on my wishlist, so my crafting abstinence seems to be paying off.
Good luck out there :)
Hey that highlander mech hunter sounds pretty interesting - I've not seen anyone playing that variant. Can you post a decklist?
