Good Evening everyone,
Tonight is my initial post as the new Forum admin for the LzH community in regards to Hearthstone. I have to say I am greatly honored, and will attempt to do my very best to answer any and all questions people of this forum have! I will on a daily basis be posting news I've found throughout the various net sits for Hearthstone and attempt to have a write up of my own on any news/ cards/sections/tournaments etc...
For now as any of us Hearthstone players know, the biggest news in the many months since Hearthstones official release is The Curse of Naxxramas. For any old or current World of Warcraft players we can remember Naxx from Vanilla, or from the re-release during Wraith. A raid that brought many a fun times trying to do the safety dance, and many a headache trying to figure out positive and negative. What Blizzard has done is taken this raid, and brilliantly turned it into a "solo adventure" for Hearthstone. Opening up a new "wing" each week for the next month, keeping most players enthralled for at least that amount of time. Not only have they created new content for casual players (I myself am in this category), that is challenging and rewarding, but they have opened up what we all hope to be a new "meta" of card decks.
What harmed Hearthstone for many months is decks became stagnant, stale, and quite frankly boring. Miracle Rogue, Hand-lock, freeze Mage *yawn*. I have a tendency to watch many of our famous streamers to try and learn a bit more to help my cause as a filthy casual
. Reynad, Hafu, Trump, Kolento...the list can go on and on. What you could see, especially over the past few months, is the streamers just going over the same content over and over again. Let me play Leeroy for 6, shadow step, Leeroy for 6, eviscerate...I Win! I remember watching Reynads stream just a few weeks ago, and Reynad played maybe 3 games of a "different" deck. Something he created outside of the current Hearthstone meta, and it just got stomped. He stopped, almost thought to himself, and basically said to his viewers, this is why Hearthstone feels so stale. It made players play a specific way to win, and anything else was garbage. With the release of Naxx both the player base, and I believe Blizzard, are looking to have that meta shift to make more decks viable, and keep things fresh.
Today's post will end here as I don't want to ramble on, but over the course of the next few days I will cover the newest Arachnid Wing, the cards that were released with it, and go over some of the strategy's people have come up with to combat the difficulty of the normal, class specific, and heroic fights this wing has brought us. Thank you all for reading, and good luck at the Inn!
