I mean, realistically speaking, you're not gonna support the employees by sinking the game and having them laid off.
I don't really think it's necessary for the average player to just straight up uninstall everything and never touch Blizzard games again. At the end of the day, how long would you keep it up? When will you know that things have changed for the better?
If you don't feel like paying for the game anymore that's fine, but I don't think just quitting the game entirely is going to change anything. Blizzard is getting hit hard by this and I doubt they can just sit this one out so things will change (for better or worse). In the meantime, we can basically just do whatever and see how it goes.
At the end of the day people should stick to their own set of ethics and not try to coerce others into following them (lest they turn out to be hypocrites).
I certainly hope my question didn't read as an attempt at coercion. I'm just trying to start a conversation that I was surprised wasn't already happening on this forum.
Oh no not at all, I'M mostly talking generally since there are people who feel like everyone needs to adhere to their standards or else they're complicit.

in their defense, we have no clue what is going on behind the scenes at this point. There's a good chance they genuinely had no idea whether the stream was going to be greenlit or not. Let's not jump to conclusions and blame it on people who are subject to extremely chaotic circumstances and might be relying on higher-ups to continue operations.
I'm gonna assume they'll just reveal dump the rest at some point in the near future. I doubt they'll just delay it for no reason when there's very little chance of doing livestreams any time soon.
that's precisely my problem though. Most of the questlines revealed so far are just so poorly designed that I'm not even sure if they're playable at all.
Like...take the Mage on for example. permanent +3 damage AFTER you've case most of your spells. That's just setting you up for disappointment when even after finally finishing the Quest you don't get to do anything with it.
Same goes for most of the other quests (except Priest because they're a janky tier 3 Exodia knockoff and Druid because they're not an actual win condition...or anything relevant really)
My issue with Quests (these ones in particular) is that despite the arguably useful mini-rewards they rarely account for the massive downside of having to ditch one mulligan card and sacrifice any turn 1 tempo.
Honestly, the only way this sees play is if OTK Demon Hunter just really wants the discounts on the first two rewards (and I'm not sure that deck usually draws more than 3 cards per turn).
Now, we've seen barely any DH cards so far (and both of the ones revealed so far have minor synergy with this).
However, do we actually believe that it is possible to draw more than half of your deck, spend a significant amount of that time actually drawing said cards and then still have time to play the reward as well as draw into something that's suddenly going to swing that game around.
I honestly can't.
One saving grace here would be Glide which would essentially allow you to complete most steps without emptying your deck (2 and 3 are are easily complleted with Glide + a single piece of draw). However, spending 4-mana to essentially do nothing multiple times in a game can't be a winning strategy.
Maybe there's some huge payoff we've yet to see, but I just cannot imagine a world where this is anywhere close to being useful.
I think the reason is because "neighbor" effects are based on board position, while these chain effects basically just look for the next valid target in line, thus skipping Dormant minions.
yes, explain to me how it is fallacious to hold them to the same standards on other common commodities produced by soulless corporation with terrible track records.
I think the point is that acting like delaying the reveals is just as much of an injustice as the...you know...actual injustice makes one look like a complete out of touch moron.

I actually completely forgot about that.

I don't think trying for RNG in Soul DH is a good call. Not to mention that that deck has been irrelevant ever since Blade Dance got yeeted.

This feels worse than Supreme Archaeology.

inb4 they print a 4-mana 1/1 deathrattle: summon a 7/7 :^)
I heard somewhere that Thijs confirmed he will still be doing his reveal, but I have no idea if that'S true
Now we just need something really sick to prep this one out on 1
Pretty sure you still use the 4/5 armor mech for N'zoth builds.
I fail to see the point of this, even in a more draw heavy deck
it was, idk what happened here
oh I see, I had no idea the layout looks this weird when comments get deleted. That explains a lot.
if only it wasn't a battlecry

I see nothing wrong with that statement.
Better run around naked then because hoo boy, do I have to tell you something about the clothing industry
(I wasnot a respone to whatever I'm suddenly under, I have been framed)
