    So after 3 years, my Reno theory got confirmed!

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 01:28 PM PST

    3 years ago I made this post about Reno Jackson being a dragon. Well, last month some guy with insider information messaged me to share that my theory is actually going to get confirmed with Galakrond's Awakening!

    I didn't want to post this too early to not spoil anything to other people but needless to say, I was excited (sharing this theory was the reason I made a Reddit account).

    I may not have guessed that he is a blue dragon but he didn't use all those fancy abilities back then and being a bronze dragon totally made sense so I think you can forgive me.

    So here we go with the last wing of the expansion it happened. I don't know if Blizzard back then designed Reno to be a dragon or they really liked the theory and decided to go with it but either way, this is awesome!

    Bobs Buddy- A Battlegrounds Calculator

    https://preview.redd.it/35iyma5s3cg41.png?width=1057&format=png&auto=webp&s=f2db7fe30a155261643a1519dfbfbf69d429ba8c

    Hi All,

    For the past few months I've been working on an app for battlegrounds. The app automatically tells you how likely you are to win, lose, or tie each fight of battlegrounds based on the initial board state and any hero powers players use. The hope is that this enables better play over time as people realize whether or not they were legitimately stronger and got scammed, or are just playing a weak strategy relative to the rest of the lobby. It's still in early alpha cuz it's hella buggy and I'm making changes all the time, so it isn't public yet. For now I'd love some feedback and to answer any questions y'all might have! If possible I'd like to keep this thread focused on the app/ the design process, but I'd be happy to do a more AMA style thread later.

    Video of me using/ talking about the app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okETEnirox4

    The app on Purple's stream from Sunday (we were talking around 1 hour 15 minutes): https://www.twitch.tv/videos/549538327

    A much older version on Firebat's stream from Saturday: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/548929839

    Frequently asked questions that I'll get out of the way now-

    Q: How does it work?

    A: Broad strokes, it gets the board state from a log generated by the hearthstone client, then runs thousands of simulations of that board to determine the stats mentioned above.

    Q: How accurate is it?

    A: Pretty? It's hard to judge the accuracy of something like this because the only way to check it is reviewing the fights it produces and seeing if it misses/misunderstands something. Some known issues right now surround ordering of death rattles with other effects like soul juggler. Beyond that, the simulation is pretty holistic.

    Q: What about infinite loops (eg ghastcoiler -> sneeds -> ghastcoiler)

    A: The devs made loops impossible in bg. Ghastcoiler can't summon itself and sneeds can't summon coiler bc coiler isn't legendary.

    Q: Will this help me improve, or is it just to help me get salty?

    A: Yes to the first thing (and a lil' bit to the second)!. I truly believe that being aware of how strong/weak you actually are helps you be a better battleground player, and improves the game as a whole.

    Q: What are you thinking of adding in the future / have you thought of …

    A: I have a few things I want to do that I'll list here. 1) Being able to save fights to look at them after the run's over. 2) Luckiness over the course of the run and over your time playing bg. 3) Being able to create your own custom boards to see stats on.

    I'm also hoping to add a feature where you can see whether or not there existed a better ordering of your board for each fight you have. Similarly, a way to easily check counter-factuals (like what if I didn't taunt the cobald guardian?) My worry is that this might violate Blizzard's unfair advantage rules. You can imagine a 1v1 late game being very influenced such a feature if one player had the app and one didn't. The solution there might be to delay information like that until the run's over so it can't influence a fight in the moment.

    I have some more ideas floating around in my head, but if y'all have stuff you'd like to see absolutely let me know!

    Finally, major thanks to Firebat and Purple for giving me feedback and showcasing the thing on stream. This also would not have been possible without the help of my friends Ben and Jake who spent a ton of time testing the product. Ben also made the design that took it from the ms paint looking nonsense to a more sleek, professional design. Their reddit usernames are u/jakeox13 and u/hot_cross_bunzee, so if you see them in the comments talking about stuff they're legit.

    Thanks so much for reading!

    Thoughts On Galakrond's Awakening? [SPOILERS]

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 12:39 PM PST

    Personally, I feel like the adventure was somewhat.. rushed, some things, like having an air-battle fight three times across both the Evil and Good chapters felt a little strange, and some encounters were either way too easy or incredibly difficult, with the second to last boss of the Evil story being quite difficult to beat unless you get the right cards to Invoke Galakrond, and get lucky with Reno's random spells. As for the story itself, I feel it's a somewhat satisfying ending, but I also feel that they could have done more with the characters they've built up over the past year, Bob is nowhere to be seen in this adventure at all, which is odd considering he was even in the prequel brawl as 'Aviator Bob', I understand that he can't really appear as he would normally considering it's not the dungeon run format, but I expected to at least hear SOMETHING about him, everyone just seemed to forget he existed. George and Karl's conclusion was fun, I found it strange that it's in the last chapter, and doesn't really follow on from anything that came previously, but I suppose they had to wrap up the story somehow. And, of course, Reno being a dragon, which became a theory quite early on during the year, turned out to be true, to the surprise of nobody unfortunately, I feel like they wanted to make it a big reveal, but since it was guessed so early it didn't really have the impact it should have. One thing that I found quite odd is the suggestion that the Old Gods would become involved a bit more in the story, it was hinted at in the final boss of Uldum, and in the fight with Finley against Lazul, even suggesting that there were more Old Gods still in Wyrmrest, but nothing ever came of it and after Finley's battle it was never mentioned again. With all that said, the adventure is overall good, I just think there were a few odd design choices, I feel like a few sections that were planned to be included got removed, for whatever reason, but I could be wrong. All in all, it's a good adventure. I just feel that some things weren't balanced properly, either way, I'm interested to hear other people's opinion of it.

    TIL if you’re Galakrond through alternative means and play Kronx, you get both of Kronx’s battlecry triggers.

    Why is Hearthstone such a mess on PC?

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 08:25 AM PST

    well that didn't take long

    Posted: 11 Feb 2020 11:37 AM PST

    And from here I dropped to rank 2, 1 star. Anybody else find the grind to legend incredibly hard? It’s so difficult when you don’t get lucky at all. For those that get legend regularly, any tips?

    Millhouse Rogue is almost viable in this brawl!
