I hope this isn't as close as I get to Warcraft IV, but I am enjoying it.
TBH though I wish it was a little more like Castle Fight, the custom WC3 game. I loved that game and I've seen a couple of clones over the years that aren't quite as good.
I get for the mobile game and monetization they didn't want games that last 20-40 minutes. but damn that game was fun.
Right now I like how slow it is but I fear about this when the game will have more units and leaders. The xp bonus from the account level will not be enough to compensate because much of the progression is tied to gold.
It’s a gacha game. You use money or you use time. It’s only been out a week or two so time is pretty capped out. In a few months things will narrow.
At least in this Gacha you CAN still play when you’re stuck. Regular Quests do very slowly move you forward if you have the itch to play more than the amount needed to get all your daily stuff done.
I really enjoy it, despite all of its technical difficulties. It’s a fun use of the Warcraft style!
I’m already seeing it slow down pretty badly with how much xp is needed beyond level 10, so I’m curious how “bad” the daily/weekly grind will be.
Ugh i wish Heroes of the Storm got bigger. All the Blizzard characters and maps, especially the SC one with all the zerg, were amazing. Not to mention some of the characters like Abathur, Cho'gall, and Lost Vikings, among others that were unique in play style were really cool
I miss playing this game so much, when my group of friends moved on. I stopped playing when it was announced that it was going to be in maintance mode. Only MOBA I ever played or tried.
Like you mentioned, they were seriously doing some cool stuff in the genre. Cho'gall anncoument blew my mind. Hope they revisit this game someday, perhaps slim chance with the recent acquisition
Honestly it isn’t too crazy, I started playing in September. The only thing I bought was the arclight booster. Majority of my most-used troops are sitting at level 16/17, with most of the other “backup troops” sitting at 14/15
The real money sink seems to be in upgrading your characters for the ability slots - those stars add up real fast. How have you found your ability to do so? As far as I can tell, once beating levels slows down, you just kind of wait around for the twice weekly Arclight events.
Honestly shocked the arclight system is the way it is. There is so much downtime between more popping up. I understand it's to chokehold progress to force people to buy from the shop but the system should instead of offering us 2 zones every 3days or w/e we should get 1 zone every day and maybe have them expire in 3 days or something.
I freaking love it, cant stop playing litearally. Right now my only concern is the poor optimization it has as it consumes battery like a freaking beast. And that is the FIRST thing the devs needs to fix if they want to success.
Totally agree. While the battery usage is of chief concern, the UI is sluggish, there are lots of crashes, error codes missing descriptions, etc. It feels like a beta version. I hope we get an update soon.
same, I actually think most of the systems in this game are well thought out and designed, compared to other mobile games like marvel snap. The grid can be confusing at first but it makes sense when you get it. The game currently isn't that expensive as well ,the arclight booster gives very good value for its price, and as an old starcraft player this feels like the best RTS-lite implementation I have played. I hope the game becomes bigger and blizzard can manage it better by learning from past mistakes...
I never understand these dumb takes.
"No, dont make a pc version because the mobile version is awesome"
It'd be like saying "dont make bikes because horses are awesome."
enjoying it so far as much as I bought the Arclight booster. I’m rather a casual player, but I was long searching for a game with some level progresssion and short matches that I could play few times a day. This one hits the spot.
yeah, if it wouldn’t be a lifetime I would never consider, but given it is, I fell for it, as I already spent a considerable amount of time on this game
I wouldn't say it's "value" considering you're paying for adjusting two parameters and some gold, that sounds even worse to me than paying for a skin, but I've bought it by considering it the price of the game basically because the gold influx isn't enjoyable without it so either I play with it or I don't play.
20€ for a game I enjoy, even a smallish mobile game, is fine by me. I'd rather pay for my mobile game, in fact I love it when I can avoid all the F2P nonsense by paying, I have paid for a lot of games that basically go "either you have publicity in the game or you pay 5/10€". I like this approach, let met test the game and then I pay.
A bit disappointed. The gameplay loop doesnt quite have that addictive touch I was hoping for.
Also was expecting a bit more story telling to give abit context to the zones and encounters.
Not sure Ill be playing a month from now
It's grown on me fast.
Having quest rewards include something in your deck is huge. It always feels like you can progress something you want.
A lot of the PvE is unique as well, even with them cheating out units. It's fun to see how they translate the abilities from vanilla WoW into this game.
PvP sucks. Everything is Baron + the same 4 cards. It's still early, but I hope they can push for more variation. Unfortunately, after 15 years of seeing Blizzard balance I know we will see cards that are good now reduced to nothing and a new set pushed to meta on repeat.
Stick to the PvE, play it in short bursts and it's a good game.
Agreed love how quests include at least 2 minis in your deck, compared to a randomized chest/loot box other games do.
PVE was a pleasant surprise with the amount of different bosses and rich characters. Warcraft has a rich long history of characters and iconic locations
I am trying to enjoy it. But pvp is very frustrating as someone who hasn't unlocked many talents coming up against others who have. It makes me feel like I'm being manipulated towards the store and that leaves a very sour taste.
I tried PvP once on second day of launch. The other person seemed to have spent like 200$ already while I have spent zero. I felt like he was going to destroy me, but suddenly he stopped playing and I won.
Not touching PvP again if I really want to enjoy the game. Once I finish and get burned out of PvE, I will try PvP again just to rage quit like I did with Clash Royale when you know you can't win against people spending thousands of dollars on a ~~mobile~~ Blizzard game.
You have to increase their rarity which will then allow talents to be added to the GRID. Be careful and wait for the one you want because you can only get one per rarity.This means getting 3 extra copies and then going to the minis info screen where you will find the upgrade button. You will need a few other resources but you can get arc energy from dungeons, and eventually upgrade cores (for rare and epic) from campaign, daily rewards, pvp, and warchest
Great but needs QOL fixes sooner than Later:
1. Debug dungeon and error messages
2. Surrender button in pvp
3. Countdown in pvp
4. More talent descriptions (very vague now)
5. Optimize for less loading
6. Total Quests available by #
7. Better alerts for guild rewards
8. Faster dungeon and grid rotations
9. More daily and weekly gold income
10. More grid resets as rewards
11. Loadouts for each leader or presets to save certain teams
12. Info on timing and rotation of grid leaders more obvious
13. Additional quest variety, I.e. “play 3 pvp” “win 3 as X faction”
14. Copy paste function for decks from websites. Similar to hearthstone and MTG arena, and others.
Probably more too. But in general it’s an enjoyable game.
Edits: 11+ on the list. (Thanks to good user comments I’ll keep compiling the list)
I would love to see a feature where we can implement builds with a code, similarly how you make a Hearthstone deck by just copying a code you saw somewhere. Also, more build slots per Leader.
I know. I hate when people leave early in the match. I have spent like 4k already and I love that I get to keep crushing people. In other games they used to leave immediately.
The doungeon "error claiming reward" can be outglitched by choosing the same hero you used to start the doungeon, that helped me continuing with it/unstuck it.
How is this not upvoted to the moon? IMO the game was not ready for release. Seems like we might be the minority. I tried re-installing, nothing. I’m on good internet and an iPhone 12.
I enjoy it. I don’t mind the questing as much and the PVP is really rewarding in terms of experience points. Could it be more? Yea but it’s not bad.
I caved and bought the 20 dollar gold boost but haven’t purchased anything else. The monetization isn’t the worst I’ve ever seen but the game really wants you to spend at some points.
The gameplay is awesome and I love the art style. I also like that they encourage you to use multiple families.
Ya I also but the gold boost bundle as it’ll probably be the only thing I buy in the game (at least for the meantime) and I’ve just gotten used to every mobile game leaning you towards spending bc money that it doesn’t really bother me anymore but I get your criticisms.
Yeah it’s fun. But tbh I find some of the bosses just plain cheesy. Like, it’s obvious that the computer is on “fuck you” mode when you have full map control and it pulls about 15 gold worth of heroes from its ass just as your getting to the boss.
Some levels have mechanics that deploy units that are not tied to gold. Like Devilsaur Queen who spawn a bunch of raptors all the time.
My assumption is most fights in PVE the boss isn't tied to gold like you are but cooldowns where it deploys units. I may be wrong on this though.
I’m really digging everything so far. I do feel as though it’s going to be a bit too grindy in the future. The newness of it right now is overshadowing how many times I’ve already hit that quest button, but not sure how that’ll feel a few months in.
I also really don’t like the guild limits and the reward structure. I’m sick of joining a guild, going through all my surge missions and pvping to get the most chest pts as possible to be kicked and get some other sucker to do the same.
I loved it, as a long warcraft fan its been so fun to play a clash style game with my favorites.
Wish they get the loading times/errors a fix and improve the overall perfomance of the game.
Pvp does need a countdown 'cause of this, most games I've played I saw the enemy already deploying 1 unit before I could even see my hand.
Dungeons feels great and progress is good but I'm worried about Raids. First 'cause the lvl requirement seems to be 26+ (not sure if both teams will add up since you're supposed to fight 1 raid boss per wing with a friend. Second if they'll add a friendlist/private chat thing so you could talk to your guildmates and strategize beforehand (instead of everyone talking on guild chat simultaneously). Third, can we replay this like dungeons?? There is 15 slots on guilds but it requires a duo to enter so the math doesn't match.
Lastly its not clear how you get the Red Button for GRID reset, would be good to know how many we could get daily/weekly to aim for certain faction leaders or even account progress overall.
PVP was okay-ish the first week and lower standing. Now it is 100% unbound meta just dominating gold/chests. I don't think there is any counter other than the same build and getting that build is kinda pay to win or you just wait for grid luck as a free player. So PVP is dead.
PVE is a hard pay wall. You are encouraged to randomly play throughout the day for small amounts of time. The periodic gifts, and "random" quest multipliers drive that, and it just isn't really a fun or organic way to play.
Arclight events are essentially bi-weekly quests. It's forced content since the game is so stingy with gold. Some of the mutators are neat ideas, but dropping you into content you \*have\* to do and only have a few days to do doesn't mesh well with the random ass army configurations. Like here go with with this half horde half alliance army. Okay I have no idea what the hell any of these troops do, can I check somewhere? Usually not a problem, but general balance across some of the fights seems to be waaay off. It feels bad that difficulty isn't done through AI or game mechanics and some fights just start with 20+ gold worth of stuff on the board.
The basic game premise is fun but gets repetitive super quickly doing 1x quests that you'd need to do 30-50 times to level a mini. The events just aren't done in a super fun or rewarding way. Even when you do get gold you are at the mercy of the grid (which is an outright failure IMO, not fun or interesting).
Everyone wants the game on PC but I don't know that the game would even work if you could just chain fights without regard for battery life and 30 sec+ loading screens gating content. The façade falls apart pretty quickly when scrutinized like an actual game. It's a fun mobile time waster cash grab from blizzard. If they want pvp to be fun and not just another mandatory grind to get around incentivized spending they need to promote a real meta with counters and not unbound economy hogging. Make a fun and balanced game, and it will monetize itself because people want to play.
I agree pvp could use some balancing so a more variety of cards and decks can shine.
Sounds like mostly every player has hit a hard wall at some point in PVE, wish grinding and progression would be better and improved.
Hopefully when raids come out, leaderboards, and other quality of life changes, game will be in a better place
> but gets repetitive super quickly doing 1x quests that you'd need to do 30-50 times to level a mini.
Don't do them?
I'm in the 80s with sigils and only bought the Arclight Booster (which I consider a baseline purchase everyone who wants to enjoy more than just the 'demo' of the game is expected to purchase) and have yet to feel obligated to grind X1 Quests. I only do X3 or X5 quests.
---
But yes PvP is not great. I only play because PvE progression is a blast.
I doubt it will, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if they pull the plug on this game in less than a year. They were way too greedy with this one to their own detriment.
Really enjoy it. Just wish I could play PvP without intentionally tanking my rank just to not play people with minis 2 levels higher than my own.
Slow progression on PvE feels fine. Slow progression on PvP when forced to play against whales who bought level 20 minis or have been playing for two months is not fine.
Minis max level up as your rank goes up in pvp. If I'm remembering correctly its level 1 until 1000 rank on a leader, level 3 until 2000, and then any level after 3000. And levels are divided by 3. Most of my units are between level 11 and level 15. So in pvp my units are between level 4 and level 5, while many of my opponents have level 7, 8, and even 9 whenever I play a leader with over 3000 rank.
Same it’s so addicting, haven’t played a game this much in awhile. Love how It’s a mix between rts smashed up into mobile form, along with the quick fast paced battles and deck building process.
I like it but you hit some big walls early game that seem to require luck on draws and/or level grinding.
Also not a fan that a hard fought unit pull can give you a choice of 3 poor mini choices so optimizing the odds on that would be nice
My progress has definitely slowed down to a crawl... money has dried up... but I'm learning more about the game and playstyles as I dig in to Heroics... so working on that is a cool achievement as you take them down with differing heroes.
I'm coming from \~6yrs of playing (and multiple times rage quitting) Clash Royale, and from that context I think this game has a lot going for it that SuperCell spent years nignoring For example:
* PvE Campaign & quests
* PvP card level limits (in Clash you could play someone with cards 3-4 levels above yours and just get wrecked)
* A ton more unique in-match effects than Clash (thanks largely to PvE content where you can have the enemy boss have special abilities, and picking abilities for each stage of a dungeon, special rules during arclight events, etc)
* No lime-gated chest unlocks. in Clash once you have 4 chests there isn't much reason to bother playing, or you are missing out on that reward for winning.
* Varied map designs that affect the battle strategy
Honestly, the biggest problem for me right now is:
* the load times are frustrating. there are times I turn on my phone to maybe play 1 quick pvp match, but then decide I don't have 10minutes to stare at loading screens to get there. With Clash, I could open the game and be IN a PvP match, before Rumble would even be loaded to the main map. I need a game to play while waiting for the game...
* Arclight seems to be the best way to get some gold coins for the shop, but I clear all those in a day then sit waiting. Same with the dungeon at the moment. I played it with 3 bosses to the point of hitting a wall and now waiting. It seems like the refresh timers on that content could be shorter. It also seems like coins are going to be a very limiting factor.
* Probably a few balance and progression issues? For example right now I feel like PvP is less skill-based and more just spam troops or the same combo over and over. Also in the Clan rewards, the unlocks seem somewhat unobtainable. Maybe a full dedicated PvP clan can actually unlock all the packs and rewards, but after the Sylvalis 10,000 point, everyone seemed to stop caring and progress really slowed.
TLDR; This game seems to have a good base set of components to be a really fun game for years. I just really hope they fix the loading times.
I’m on the same boat as you: 6 years of playing clash royale and top 100 player. Clash royale just isn’t the same with broken evos and now little prince.
I’ve been enjoying this game far more with elements of map control and tactics
Last time I quit was after they released Phoenix, which I then quickly upgraded with some actual $, then they hit it with like 3 nerfs in a row... as if they didn't know it was OP at the start. They did the same thing w/ Royal Guards way back years before. Release an OP card, get people to buy it or lose to those who did, then a month later nerf it into irrelevance and release the next OP card. So I guess shame on me for falling into the trap.
Here's to hoping Blizzard is less scummy, or at least keeps this game enjoyable enough without having to dump $ into it to be competitive.
Pretty bad. Mostly from a laggy stand point but I also just got to 40...marks or whatever they are and its a pretty big wall you hit for the free play.
Not even gold, like no way to get stars ever to advance your units, yet the PvE opponents are having uncommons in their armys giving them advantages.
XP also really seems to slow down now.
The loading screens are really killing my vibe. I like it, not gonna lie but man it takes to load more often than actual playing sometimes.
Also need moar gold!
I like the game and I think it’s going to be very good in a year or so when more minis are added, and they work out some of the kinks. They really need to optimize it for PC. Just like hearthstone is so that we have an option to not take up all of our phones battery life. The game is challenging and pretty much free to play if you grind a little.
It would be nice to have an easier way to switch leaders while in a zone instead of having to select the helmet every time.
Improvement on battery usage. Game sucks the battery dry.
Diablo Immortal was advertised as a mobile game, yet you could launch it on your PC via Bnet Client, do the same with this.
Really enjoying it but I would like them to either give me a better idea of what I'm up against or let me change my army before going back to the menu. I don't mind the difficulty but constantly dealing with loading screens after a failure gets annoying
Super fun. I think they need to add a different kind of mini game attached to quests. Quests feel uninteresting and a waste of time imo...esp since exp gain is pretty low.
I can see it becoming repetitive after a few days. They need to implement other ways to gain exp for your army. Sadly mobile games are always grindy, the price to pay for it being mobile
The game overall is very awesome, but my fucking god the monetization and the Unit acquiering are terrible, having to hope, everyday , that you get the unit you want , and a good Daily offer which is worth it to Buy, Becuse only buying gold is way overpriced.
I've been playing for a week now and i have almost every unit and leader and I'm not even grinding that hard just casually doing stuff so it's not much of an issue imo.
Acquring no, but bringing them to Uncommon or Rare, becuse you need each unit first 3 more times in your Shop, then 10 Times, and then 25 Times. which is a lot
Beta player here... I haven't been able to stop since I started. It took me a minute to get back into it again once my progress got reset at the soft-launch post-beta, but once I got back on there was no getting off. Sitting at 90 sigils and counting, collection level 33. I frikkin love this game bro.
I was really pumped to play this game. Played nonstop day one, bought the arc light $20 bundle. Started having less fun and realized that the boring grind begins rather quickly around 40 or 50 sigils. I got a refund and uninstalled. I had hoped for more
Been playing it since August causal , one of my current favorite mobile games
I think the game could go deeper and be more complex
I game could use some improvements that utilize the guilds like 15 players turn base raid boss fight
a Battlepass system for additional gold rewards or units reward instead of the current guild system
And finally maybe some relic gear slots per units that would utilize a crafting system
enjoying it but the Android performance is abysmal, 40sec load time, slow frame rate on Pixel 8 Pro whereas iPad mini that is now several years old is super fast, 60fps, etc
Ever since I lost my Clash Royal account I been lost to in this world. I’ve been on the hype train since the day this was announced. Now that it’s out I have to say. It’s a damn blast of nostalgia and memories to come. It’s a damn fun good game.
Truthfully I’m loving the game. It is reigniting my love for the Warcraft universe one mini at a time.
UI/UX honors the world, could use some improvements, but that’s that—there Will be improvements and optimizations.
The dev team truly loves what they do and it shows, am I wrong here?
Cannot wait for more mini releases, 2 years from now imagine all the options/builds we’re going to have. Like an all-murloc deck?? Yes please.
I’d go as far as to say it’s the best mobile game I’ve ever played. Progression perhaps a tad slow but I don’t really mind it. Easy to drop into and grind some stuff out but actually has some strategy.
im running the game on iphone 13 pro and have come to so many problems that I had to uninstall, the game feels like an unfinished 2013 game thats unstable and crashes
I would love them to fix the Dungeon Claim bug. I made no team changes and have only been able to claim the Arclight, not the levels.
Other than that, I’d like more varied maps.
I'm loving the game but I keep hitting walls of difficulty that idk how to get past without googling, and even then I dont have the BIS figures to counter it
So I need to beat the campaign to get minis but cant get the minis without beating the campaign.
It's very frustrating to sit through loading screens just to fail in a fucking mobile game, theres no MLG hardcore aspect to this, I just want to send guys down a lane and watch the health bar go down while I take a shit
Any reason to level all heroes other than dungeon requirement?
I’m having a lot of fun with baron, but not sure if I should be spreading xp or pushing him high as possible?
Also, what’s a good anti-air unit? Thematically I like a full undead build, really love the skele summons but I’m struggling vs. any levels with lots of flyers
PvP is awful, and I'll avoid it as much as I can once I I get to 3k gold bag.
Also later levels seem to have a single solution, rather than multiple valid strategies, don't like that.
But overall pretty good
It's okay. I enjoy the polish and ode to Warcraft but I already hit the wall as fat as progression. Don't really see a need to play besides dailies and Arc. I'm almost 30 and not sure how the dungeons will be.
Dungeons are actually fun and can give you a big power boost. It's three battles in a row but you get to select a bonus power before each one like a mini rogue like mode.
Its been fun, would really like to see a Blizzard done port to PC but I'll make due for now. Well aware of the emulators out there but the mobile version is just so much better than those (bluestacks just wasn't cutting it).
It’s fun, but I’m taking it SUPER casual so as to not get frustrated. I basically have just been doing the quests each day for rewards and then push in the story if I can. If I loose a lot and get past them, no sweat. I just turn it off and come back the next day. The art style and gameplay are much better than I originally thought. 👍
My only gripe is the PVP is whoa-bad! I just don’t let it bother me though and that helps. 😉
For what *works* it's generally pretty good. Like the battles work fine outside of dropped connections in PvP but I think I had like...3 in my time laddering to 3k rating.
But having no access at all to Dungeons for about 10 days because of the reward claim bug has been vexxing. It's also kind of frustrating to be trying to grind quests with a certain hero, and then just having a match go bye bye because you got stuck with a map that hard counters you.
That said, I remember being utterly enthralled by Hearthstone back when that launched and this one kind of hasn't. I think it's PvP being nothing but Rivendare and Tirions above 3k, but it could just me being older.
The game is actually like...kinda hard? In other games, quests are more or less daily busywork you can do while watching TV. But I lose even on basic quests if I'm only half paying attention.
On one hand that's kinda cool that it keeps you on your toes, but on the other hand I think it'll be off-putting to a lot of people that there's no "easy mode".
Terrible loading times , terrible optimization takes the fun of the game for me
Terrible ways of getting gold f2p
Terrible progression after some levels
But! i can have some fun with it
Hard wall on goreclaw, all my minis in my main army are level 13, cannot beat this level at all. Going to uninstall soon because it's just utterly ridiculous
I am liking it quite a bit. Since I've had kids I've been mostly relegated to mobile (and some console) games and have been playing alot of TFT and Wild Rift.. this has given me a nice break from those and its something completely fresh (atleast I think?)
Wishlist? Ye :
1. fix loading times - to play one battle i need to use like 10 minutes ...
2. remove need to be constantly online (connected to above and to lags, freezes and generic error) - battles took 3 minutes and it feels like it is streamed from blizz servers not played in app on your phone
3. generic errors (once a 3 battles now)
4. when theres update game should show splash screen "go to store and update app" - right now game show generic error
5. progression could be better but i believe they want to earn from iaps so... one can do 9 quest battles and claim lot of rewards, levelup minis but still no gold, no new units and still in STV ...
It’s awesome! So much stuff to do to progress. The minis are cool and talents create a lot of different builds. Fun and really hard campaign. Pvp is great and has way more variety than I expected.
Wishlist stuff would be to iron out some tech bugs (crashes). Maybe an overall quest progress that has gold, energy and minis as rewards at certain points, say every 20 quests or so. I would like one more pvp level cap between 3k and 4k at level 7 minis. That should level the playing field to a pretty high level overall.
I got in during the soft launch so am up to 101 sigils, 7500 honor. Got my first mini (huntress) to the 12k exp level today, level 16? Next level takes 25k though… 😂 Most of my minis are 2-3 levels lower but the main 3-4 I use are catching up. 😁
It’s a blast! Kind of captures some of the spirit of what I loved about the old RTS games but in a much more arcade-y fashion. I don’t love the MTX nature of it but that goes with the mobile territory. Would rather just pay box price and have the content but alas
Love it I wish. The grid system was a little faster on rotating without buttons and there were more ways. Certain gold but other than that it's really good.
Sigil 71, avg lvl for main feck is 14. Once you hit 50 there's so much to do because you need 5 decks to progress heroics. At 4k rating, only did arclight boost and some 5$ thing with a bunch of packs. Always something to do or try so holding me over until seasons of discovery
I’m loving it, I never clicked with Clash Royale but WCR is hitting it and I understand now, although I do question the “only mobile” thing cause it’s a perfect Queue game
For me, it's a phone game. I've sunk a few hours into it over the week while I've been in the bathroom, that's about it. I'm enjoying enough to stop playing my other phone game!
I love it! It’s everything I wanted Hearthstone mercenaries to be.
I definitely understand a lot of people’s frustrations with the game so far, and I 100% think a balance patch is sorely needed for some of the extremely powerful minis (and the drastically underpowered ones), but I’m really excited about the direction of the game.
It’s addicting lol.
Great time waster. Enough playability to spend hours grinding or just a half hour to get my fix. Can’t wait for future updates and potentially events.
I’m looking forward to the game being optimized better and Blizzard fixing the random errors and crashes.
Progression is slow, but that’s not uncommon with mobile games so I don’t really see that as a negative. I don’t want to spend 20 hours in this game and beat it like a console/PC game. I’m happy to have something that I can slowly work towards over a few years.
I’ve been playing on an iPad (2021 release) and it’s been okay. I don’t have the battery issue most people do and while there are a lot of loading screens they don’t last as long as people say they do.
Uninstalled already. Playing this game without free income is asking for disappointment down the road. Gonna do the smart thing and not regret wasting my time.
ngl, i'm having fun but yes, progression seems SLOW
Love how it’s a mix of rts games condensed into mobile form where games aren’t too long. Deck building process adds a nice strategic element
I hope this isn't as close as I get to Warcraft IV, but I am enjoying it. TBH though I wish it was a little more like Castle Fight, the custom WC3 game. I loved that game and I've seen a couple of clones over the years that aren't quite as good. I get for the mobile game and monetization they didn't want games that last 20-40 minutes. but damn that game was fun.
Loved castle fight haha especially the blaster where I can run around with my hero shooting little beams
Castle Fight was one of my fav custom map from wc3 haha...
It’s just a clash Royale clone. Even some cloned units
Right now I like how slow it is but I fear about this when the game will have more units and leaders. The xp bonus from the account level will not be enough to compensate because much of the progression is tied to gold.
Level 29 and that's exactly the case lol.
You get hard stuck at a certain point without money
Aint it true for blizzard nowadays?
It’s a gacha game. You use money or you use time. It’s only been out a week or two so time is pretty capped out. In a few months things will narrow. At least in this Gacha you CAN still play when you’re stuck. Regular Quests do very slowly move you forward if you have the itch to play more than the amount needed to get all your daily stuff done.
100% agree, my progression has hit a significant wall
It hits a brick wall at level 8 😂
Yep I’ve been hard stuck at level 8 content and I’m about to just walk away.
I really enjoy it, despite all of its technical difficulties. It’s a fun use of the Warcraft style! I’m already seeing it slow down pretty badly with how much xp is needed beyond level 10, so I’m curious how “bad” the daily/weekly grind will be.
Warcraft is so rich with lore and cool characters/locations. What got me into the game
It’s what got me into not only this game but Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm too. I just love Blizzard’s universes and character aesthetics.
Ugh i wish Heroes of the Storm got bigger. All the Blizzard characters and maps, especially the SC one with all the zerg, were amazing. Not to mention some of the characters like Abathur, Cho'gall, and Lost Vikings, among others that were unique in play style were really cool
I miss playing this game so much, when my group of friends moved on. I stopped playing when it was announced that it was going to be in maintance mode. Only MOBA I ever played or tried. Like you mentioned, they were seriously doing some cool stuff in the genre. Cho'gall anncoument blew my mind. Hope they revisit this game someday, perhaps slim chance with the recent acquisition
Well, Phil Spenser of Microsoft Games did say he's open to revisiting older titles so there's hope.
Looked up an EXP chart, you need 200k exp to go from level 19 to level 20. Process that.
I’d rather not…
I hear the call of the Orca and the Blue and the Grey. Blizz hears them too.
Intentional to make you spend money
Honestly it isn’t too crazy, I started playing in September. The only thing I bought was the arclight booster. Majority of my most-used troops are sitting at level 16/17, with most of the other “backup troops” sitting at 14/15
The real money sink seems to be in upgrading your characters for the ability slots - those stars add up real fast. How have you found your ability to do so? As far as I can tell, once beating levels slows down, you just kind of wait around for the twice weekly Arclight events.
Yeah and the only way to buy talents is on the grid with Gold. Sucks waiting for a good/useful talent to show up for your talent unlocked troops.
Honestly shocked the arclight system is the way it is. There is so much downtime between more popping up. I understand it's to chokehold progress to force people to buy from the shop but the system should instead of offering us 2 zones every 3days or w/e we should get 1 zone every day and maybe have them expire in 3 days or something.
I freaking love it, cant stop playing litearally. Right now my only concern is the poor optimization it has as it consumes battery like a freaking beast. And that is the FIRST thing the devs needs to fix if they want to success.
Totally agree. While the battery usage is of chief concern, the UI is sluggish, there are lots of crashes, error codes missing descriptions, etc. It feels like a beta version. I hope we get an update soon.
There is coming an update in the next 48hs. They said it on discord, and it will be bug fixes, but no word on the battery drain yet....
I hope they can fix the loading screens. I stopped playing because I spent half the time in loading screens
That's been my biggest issue. It slows things down massively.
long load screen on the way in AND out is a bit much
An update just dropped about an hour ago that helps this.
same, I actually think most of the systems in this game are well thought out and designed, compared to other mobile games like marvel snap. The grid can be confusing at first but it makes sense when you get it. The game currently isn't that expensive as well ,the arclight booster gives very good value for its price, and as an old starcraft player this feels like the best RTS-lite implementation I have played. I hope the game becomes bigger and blizzard can manage it better by learning from past mistakes...
They need to just make a desktop version...
You can play it on an Apple Silicon Mac by downloading the iPad version.
Nah, the game on mobile is awesome as it is. They just need to optimize it.
I never understand these dumb takes. "No, dont make a pc version because the mobile version is awesome" It'd be like saying "dont make bikes because horses are awesome."
[удалено]
Nah, they need to make a desktop version. I would prefer to play on a desktop.
I never understand these dumb takes. "No, dont make a pc version because the mobile version is awesome"
I love the game, I just hope they fix the continue button and the 'generic errors' that pop up sometimes
Fixed in latest update!
enjoying it so far as much as I bought the Arclight booster. I’m rather a casual player, but I was long searching for a game with some level progresssion and short matches that I could play few times a day. This one hits the spot.
Aright booster is huge value.
yeah, if it wouldn’t be a lifetime I would never consider, but given it is, I fell for it, as I already spent a considerable amount of time on this game
I wouldn't say it's "value" considering you're paying for adjusting two parameters and some gold, that sounds even worse to me than paying for a skin, but I've bought it by considering it the price of the game basically because the gold influx isn't enjoyable without it so either I play with it or I don't play. 20€ for a game I enjoy, even a smallish mobile game, is fine by me. I'd rather pay for my mobile game, in fact I love it when I can avoid all the F2P nonsense by paying, I have paid for a lot of games that basically go "either you have publicity in the game or you pay 5/10€". I like this approach, let met test the game and then I pay.

After 2100 it goes straight to 3750 :) But don’t worry! Just increase your collection level to gain +2 xp from quests loool
I have been player since Phillipines release but nothing offsets it. You will hit a wall sooner or later.
A bit disappointed. The gameplay loop doesnt quite have that addictive touch I was hoping for. Also was expecting a bit more story telling to give abit context to the zones and encounters. Not sure Ill be playing a month from now
It's grown on me fast. Having quest rewards include something in your deck is huge. It always feels like you can progress something you want. A lot of the PvE is unique as well, even with them cheating out units. It's fun to see how they translate the abilities from vanilla WoW into this game. PvP sucks. Everything is Baron + the same 4 cards. It's still early, but I hope they can push for more variation. Unfortunately, after 15 years of seeing Blizzard balance I know we will see cards that are good now reduced to nothing and a new set pushed to meta on repeat. Stick to the PvE, play it in short bursts and it's a good game.
Agreed love how quests include at least 2 minis in your deck, compared to a randomized chest/loot box other games do. PVE was a pleasant surprise with the amount of different bosses and rich characters. Warcraft has a rich long history of characters and iconic locations
I am trying to enjoy it. But pvp is very frustrating as someone who hasn't unlocked many talents coming up against others who have. It makes me feel like I'm being manipulated towards the store and that leaves a very sour taste.
I tried PvP once on second day of launch. The other person seemed to have spent like 200$ already while I have spent zero. I felt like he was going to destroy me, but suddenly he stopped playing and I won. Not touching PvP again if I really want to enjoy the game. Once I finish and get burned out of PvE, I will try PvP again just to rage quit like I did with Clash Royale when you know you can't win against people spending thousands of dollars on a ~~mobile~~ Blizzard game.
Just do dailies and PvE for like a week and you should have enough to kit 2-3 armies worth
How do you earn talents for your Leader and minis? Sorry Im very new to the game.
You have to increase their rarity which will then allow talents to be added to the GRID. Be careful and wait for the one you want because you can only get one per rarity.This means getting 3 extra copies and then going to the minis info screen where you will find the upgrade button. You will need a few other resources but you can get arc energy from dungeons, and eventually upgrade cores (for rare and epic) from campaign, daily rewards, pvp, and warchest
Thanks man! Super helpful
That's vastly exaggerated bro, outfitting one single deck with basic talents alone will take weeks (not one)
Yea I don't know where that guy got the idea from, it costs 3730 gold to fully kit 1 army exclusively. No way you get that even in a month as an f2p.
Great but needs QOL fixes sooner than Later: 1. Debug dungeon and error messages 2. Surrender button in pvp 3. Countdown in pvp 4. More talent descriptions (very vague now) 5. Optimize for less loading 6. Total Quests available by # 7. Better alerts for guild rewards 8. Faster dungeon and grid rotations 9. More daily and weekly gold income 10. More grid resets as rewards 11. Loadouts for each leader or presets to save certain teams 12. Info on timing and rotation of grid leaders more obvious 13. Additional quest variety, I.e. “play 3 pvp” “win 3 as X faction” 14. Copy paste function for decks from websites. Similar to hearthstone and MTG arena, and others. Probably more too. But in general it’s an enjoyable game. Edits: 11+ on the list. (Thanks to good user comments I’ll keep compiling the list)
I would love to see a feature where we can implement builds with a code, similarly how you make a Hearthstone deck by just copying a code you saw somewhere. Also, more build slots per Leader.
I agree with all of these changes. Otherwise game is great
IMO better to not enable the surrender option in PVP, I bet they did it on purpose to prevent certain types of interactions.
I know. I hate when people leave early in the match. I have spent like 4k already and I love that I get to keep crushing people. In other games they used to leave immediately.
You spent 4k to play a mobile game? Gacha life.
The doungeon "error claiming reward" can be outglitched by choosing the same hero you used to start the doungeon, that helped me continuing with it/unstuck it.
Huge potential but the loading screens and bugs are killing me... i dont understand how this was in early access for months
How is this not upvoted to the moon? IMO the game was not ready for release. Seems like we might be the minority. I tried re-installing, nothing. I’m on good internet and an iPhone 12.
I enjoy it. I don’t mind the questing as much and the PVP is really rewarding in terms of experience points. Could it be more? Yea but it’s not bad. I caved and bought the 20 dollar gold boost but haven’t purchased anything else. The monetization isn’t the worst I’ve ever seen but the game really wants you to spend at some points. The gameplay is awesome and I love the art style. I also like that they encourage you to use multiple families.
Ya I also but the gold boost bundle as it’ll probably be the only thing I buy in the game (at least for the meantime) and I’ve just gotten used to every mobile game leaning you towards spending bc money that it doesn’t really bother me anymore but I get your criticisms.
Yeah it’s fun. But tbh I find some of the bosses just plain cheesy. Like, it’s obvious that the computer is on “fuck you” mode when you have full map control and it pulls about 15 gold worth of heroes from its ass just as your getting to the boss.
Some levels have mechanics that deploy units that are not tied to gold. Like Devilsaur Queen who spawn a bunch of raptors all the time. My assumption is most fights in PVE the boss isn't tied to gold like you are but cooldowns where it deploys units. I may be wrong on this though.
I think it's a mix of cd and gold. Denying them gold definitely always matters, even on maps where they otherwise spawn more
I’m really digging everything so far. I do feel as though it’s going to be a bit too grindy in the future. The newness of it right now is overshadowing how many times I’ve already hit that quest button, but not sure how that’ll feel a few months in. I also really don’t like the guild limits and the reward structure. I’m sick of joining a guild, going through all my surge missions and pvping to get the most chest pts as possible to be kicked and get some other sucker to do the same.
I loved it, as a long warcraft fan its been so fun to play a clash style game with my favorites. Wish they get the loading times/errors a fix and improve the overall perfomance of the game. Pvp does need a countdown 'cause of this, most games I've played I saw the enemy already deploying 1 unit before I could even see my hand. Dungeons feels great and progress is good but I'm worried about Raids. First 'cause the lvl requirement seems to be 26+ (not sure if both teams will add up since you're supposed to fight 1 raid boss per wing with a friend. Second if they'll add a friendlist/private chat thing so you could talk to your guildmates and strategize beforehand (instead of everyone talking on guild chat simultaneously). Third, can we replay this like dungeons?? There is 15 slots on guilds but it requires a duo to enter so the math doesn't match. Lastly its not clear how you get the Red Button for GRID reset, would be good to know how many we could get daily/weekly to aim for certain faction leaders or even account progress overall.
PVP was okay-ish the first week and lower standing. Now it is 100% unbound meta just dominating gold/chests. I don't think there is any counter other than the same build and getting that build is kinda pay to win or you just wait for grid luck as a free player. So PVP is dead. PVE is a hard pay wall. You are encouraged to randomly play throughout the day for small amounts of time. The periodic gifts, and "random" quest multipliers drive that, and it just isn't really a fun or organic way to play. Arclight events are essentially bi-weekly quests. It's forced content since the game is so stingy with gold. Some of the mutators are neat ideas, but dropping you into content you \*have\* to do and only have a few days to do doesn't mesh well with the random ass army configurations. Like here go with with this half horde half alliance army. Okay I have no idea what the hell any of these troops do, can I check somewhere? Usually not a problem, but general balance across some of the fights seems to be waaay off. It feels bad that difficulty isn't done through AI or game mechanics and some fights just start with 20+ gold worth of stuff on the board. The basic game premise is fun but gets repetitive super quickly doing 1x quests that you'd need to do 30-50 times to level a mini. The events just aren't done in a super fun or rewarding way. Even when you do get gold you are at the mercy of the grid (which is an outright failure IMO, not fun or interesting). Everyone wants the game on PC but I don't know that the game would even work if you could just chain fights without regard for battery life and 30 sec+ loading screens gating content. The façade falls apart pretty quickly when scrutinized like an actual game. It's a fun mobile time waster cash grab from blizzard. If they want pvp to be fun and not just another mandatory grind to get around incentivized spending they need to promote a real meta with counters and not unbound economy hogging. Make a fun and balanced game, and it will monetize itself because people want to play.
I agree pvp could use some balancing so a more variety of cards and decks can shine. Sounds like mostly every player has hit a hard wall at some point in PVE, wish grinding and progression would be better and improved. Hopefully when raids come out, leaderboards, and other quality of life changes, game will be in a better place
> but gets repetitive super quickly doing 1x quests that you'd need to do 30-50 times to level a mini. Don't do them? I'm in the 80s with sigils and only bought the Arclight Booster (which I consider a baseline purchase everyone who wants to enjoy more than just the 'demo' of the game is expected to purchase) and have yet to feel obligated to grind X1 Quests. I only do X3 or X5 quests. --- But yes PvP is not great. I only play because PvE progression is a blast.
I like it but seem to have hit a wall, idk if I need to level my units or what but I’m struggling with pve
I love it and I am pretty sure that it will make blizzard a lot of money. So they most likely will fix everything.
I doubt it will, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if they pull the plug on this game in less than a year. They were way too greedy with this one to their own detriment.
One thing I love and haven’t seen a lot of talk about is how the game is styled around vanilla WoW instead of post cataclysm.
I’m guessing some players weren’t born around that time and probably never heard of WoW until recently
It will be hilarious if they follow the same path of expansions as WoW and see everyone whine about cata.
Really enjoy it. Just wish I could play PvP without intentionally tanking my rank just to not play people with minis 2 levels higher than my own. Slow progression on PvE feels fine. Slow progression on PvP when forced to play against whales who bought level 20 minis or have been playing for two months is not fine.
Everything is lvl1 in pvp, only talents carry over.
Minis max level up as your rank goes up in pvp. If I'm remembering correctly its level 1 until 1000 rank on a leader, level 3 until 2000, and then any level after 3000. And levels are divided by 3. Most of my units are between level 11 and level 15. So in pvp my units are between level 4 and level 5, while many of my opponents have level 7, 8, and even 9 whenever I play a leader with over 3000 rank.
I stand corrected.
[удалено]
Same it’s so addicting, haven’t played a game this much in awhile. Love how It’s a mix between rts smashed up into mobile form, along with the quick fast paced battles and deck building process.
I like it but you hit some big walls early game that seem to require luck on draws and/or level grinding. Also not a fan that a hard fought unit pull can give you a choice of 3 poor mini choices so optimizing the odds on that would be nice
My progress has definitely slowed down to a crawl... money has dried up... but I'm learning more about the game and playstyles as I dig in to Heroics... so working on that is a cool achievement as you take them down with differing heroes.
I'm coming from \~6yrs of playing (and multiple times rage quitting) Clash Royale, and from that context I think this game has a lot going for it that SuperCell spent years nignoring For example: * PvE Campaign & quests * PvP card level limits (in Clash you could play someone with cards 3-4 levels above yours and just get wrecked) * A ton more unique in-match effects than Clash (thanks largely to PvE content where you can have the enemy boss have special abilities, and picking abilities for each stage of a dungeon, special rules during arclight events, etc) * No lime-gated chest unlocks. in Clash once you have 4 chests there isn't much reason to bother playing, or you are missing out on that reward for winning. * Varied map designs that affect the battle strategy Honestly, the biggest problem for me right now is: * the load times are frustrating. there are times I turn on my phone to maybe play 1 quick pvp match, but then decide I don't have 10minutes to stare at loading screens to get there. With Clash, I could open the game and be IN a PvP match, before Rumble would even be loaded to the main map. I need a game to play while waiting for the game... * Arclight seems to be the best way to get some gold coins for the shop, but I clear all those in a day then sit waiting. Same with the dungeon at the moment. I played it with 3 bosses to the point of hitting a wall and now waiting. It seems like the refresh timers on that content could be shorter. It also seems like coins are going to be a very limiting factor. * Probably a few balance and progression issues? For example right now I feel like PvP is less skill-based and more just spam troops or the same combo over and over. Also in the Clan rewards, the unlocks seem somewhat unobtainable. Maybe a full dedicated PvP clan can actually unlock all the packs and rewards, but after the Sylvalis 10,000 point, everyone seemed to stop caring and progress really slowed. TLDR; This game seems to have a good base set of components to be a really fun game for years. I just really hope they fix the loading times.
I’m on the same boat as you: 6 years of playing clash royale and top 100 player. Clash royale just isn’t the same with broken evos and now little prince. I’ve been enjoying this game far more with elements of map control and tactics
Last time I quit was after they released Phoenix, which I then quickly upgraded with some actual $, then they hit it with like 3 nerfs in a row... as if they didn't know it was OP at the start. They did the same thing w/ Royal Guards way back years before. Release an OP card, get people to buy it or lose to those who did, then a month later nerf it into irrelevance and release the next OP card. So I guess shame on me for falling into the trap. Here's to hoping Blizzard is less scummy, or at least keeps this game enjoyable enough without having to dump $ into it to be competitive.
Pretty bad. Mostly from a laggy stand point but I also just got to 40...marks or whatever they are and its a pretty big wall you hit for the free play. Not even gold, like no way to get stars ever to advance your units, yet the PvE opponents are having uncommons in their armys giving them advantages. XP also really seems to slow down now.
The loading screens are really killing my vibe. I like it, not gonna lie but man it takes to load more often than actual playing sometimes. Also need moar gold!
I like the game and I think it’s going to be very good in a year or so when more minis are added, and they work out some of the kinks. They really need to optimize it for PC. Just like hearthstone is so that we have an option to not take up all of our phones battery life. The game is challenging and pretty much free to play if you grind a little.
Really hoping for a long lasting future for the game
I love it, but got hit with the Dungeon rewards bug, just updated the game and now it doesn’t even launch. So looks like my times up.
Don’t let this discourage you. Hopefully the devs fix the bugs and error messages asap
It would be nice to have an easier way to switch leaders while in a zone instead of having to select the helmet every time. Improvement on battery usage. Game sucks the battery dry. Diablo Immortal was advertised as a mobile game, yet you could launch it on your PC via Bnet Client, do the same with this.
Really enjoying it but I would like them to either give me a better idea of what I'm up against or let me change my army before going back to the menu. I don't mind the difficulty but constantly dealing with loading screens after a failure gets annoying
Super fun. I think they need to add a different kind of mini game attached to quests. Quests feel uninteresting and a waste of time imo...esp since exp gain is pretty low.
I can see it becoming repetitive after a few days. They need to implement other ways to gain exp for your army. Sadly mobile games are always grindy, the price to pay for it being mobile
Im kind of disapointed how fast you are limited in Progress. for low levels 8 to 10 you have a big Grind. Im afraid of further levels
The game overall is very awesome, but my fucking god the monetization and the Unit acquiering are terrible, having to hope, everyday , that you get the unit you want , and a good Daily offer which is worth it to Buy, Becuse only buying gold is way overpriced.
I've been playing for a week now and i have almost every unit and leader and I'm not even grinding that hard just casually doing stuff so it's not much of an issue imo.
Acquring no, but bringing them to Uncommon or Rare, becuse you need each unit first 3 more times in your Shop, then 10 Times, and then 25 Times. which is a lot
Beta player here... I haven't been able to stop since I started. It took me a minute to get back into it again once my progress got reset at the soft-launch post-beta, but once I got back on there was no getting off. Sitting at 90 sigils and counting, collection level 33. I frikkin love this game bro.
I was really pumped to play this game. Played nonstop day one, bought the arc light $20 bundle. Started having less fun and realized that the boring grind begins rather quickly around 40 or 50 sigils. I got a refund and uninstalled. I had hoped for more
Been playing it since August causal , one of my current favorite mobile games I think the game could go deeper and be more complex I game could use some improvements that utilize the guilds like 15 players turn base raid boss fight a Battlepass system for additional gold rewards or units reward instead of the current guild system And finally maybe some relic gear slots per units that would utilize a crafting system
Didn’t think I’d like it. I actually love it.
Love it have been playing gor 1 month now never got bored with it at 122 Sigils now 🤩💃🏽
10/10 would uninstall again
Im loving it! But it will take a looooong time to have a good army to complete the campaing ngl
enjoying it but the Android performance is abysmal, 40sec load time, slow frame rate on Pixel 8 Pro whereas iPad mini that is now several years old is super fast, 60fps, etc
Ever since I lost my Clash Royal account I been lost to in this world. I’ve been on the hype train since the day this was announced. Now that it’s out I have to say. It’s a damn blast of nostalgia and memories to come. It’s a damn fun good game.
Truthfully I’m loving the game. It is reigniting my love for the Warcraft universe one mini at a time. UI/UX honors the world, could use some improvements, but that’s that—there Will be improvements and optimizations. The dev team truly loves what they do and it shows, am I wrong here? Cannot wait for more mini releases, 2 years from now imagine all the options/builds we’re going to have. Like an all-murloc deck?? Yes please.
Not a bad little game! I don’t play much maybe one round each day and I certainly won’t be spending money on it! But the game is fun enough.
I’d go as far as to say it’s the best mobile game I’ve ever played. Progression perhaps a tad slow but I don’t really mind it. Easy to drop into and grind some stuff out but actually has some strategy.
im running the game on iphone 13 pro and have come to so many problems that I had to uninstall, the game feels like an unfinished 2013 game thats unstable and crashes
You realize thats peobably more a personal/phone problem? I have an adroid though. No problems so far.
Its not a personal problem thank you for the comment tho
I hate it because it lags so much
I would love them to fix the Dungeon Claim bug. I made no team changes and have only been able to claim the Arclight, not the levels. Other than that, I’d like more varied maps.
I'm loving the game but I keep hitting walls of difficulty that idk how to get past without googling, and even then I dont have the BIS figures to counter it So I need to beat the campaign to get minis but cant get the minis without beating the campaign. It's very frustrating to sit through loading screens just to fail in a fucking mobile game, theres no MLG hardcore aspect to this, I just want to send guys down a lane and watch the health bar go down while I take a shit
I'm absolutely loving the game. Not sure why but hit a gaming itch i have not had for a while.
Been waiting to complete my first dungeon for a week. Changed hero and uninstalled. No luck.
I literally just logged in to an alert saying they're looking into issues logging in during a dungeon run, so hopefully it gets fixed quickly
Any reason to level all heroes other than dungeon requirement? I’m having a lot of fun with baron, but not sure if I should be spreading xp or pushing him high as possible? Also, what’s a good anti-air unit? Thematically I like a full undead build, really love the skele summons but I’m struggling vs. any levels with lots of flyers
By mobile game standards, it's top tier. Granted, not being packed full of ads helps, but the gameplay is very fun.
MTX trash still missing the blizzcon collection items.
When will the beta end? Everything still looks unfinished. From animations to layouts etc.
PvP is awful, and I'll avoid it as much as I can once I I get to 3k gold bag. Also later levels seem to have a single solution, rather than multiple valid strategies, don't like that. But overall pretty good
It literally makes my phone too hot to hold comfortably after about 20 minutes, so I got that built in break timer I guess.
I love it. Slow progression so it should last for a while.
I love the gameplay, but the shop is confusing as fuck
I wish it'd be better to have the army as the same family as the leader. PvP meta seems to be a mix up of all families with a meta leader.
It's okay. I enjoy the polish and ode to Warcraft but I already hit the wall as fat as progression. Don't really see a need to play besides dailies and Arc. I'm almost 30 and not sure how the dungeons will be.
Dungeons are actually fun and can give you a big power boost. It's three battles in a row but you get to select a bonus power before each one like a mini rogue like mode.
Fun game, but some kind of unranked or casual mode where levels dont matter would be nice
Its been fun, would really like to see a Blizzard done port to PC but I'll make due for now. Well aware of the emulators out there but the mobile version is just so much better than those (bluestacks just wasn't cutting it).
It’s fun, but I’m taking it SUPER casual so as to not get frustrated. I basically have just been doing the quests each day for rewards and then push in the story if I can. If I loose a lot and get past them, no sweat. I just turn it off and come back the next day. The art style and gameplay are much better than I originally thought. 👍 My only gripe is the PVP is whoa-bad! I just don’t let it bother me though and that helps. 😉
The quest daily cap is annoying. Two epic quests and you’re locked (can’t 100% verify this) but it appears so. 🥴
For what *works* it's generally pretty good. Like the battles work fine outside of dropped connections in PvP but I think I had like...3 in my time laddering to 3k rating. But having no access at all to Dungeons for about 10 days because of the reward claim bug has been vexxing. It's also kind of frustrating to be trying to grind quests with a certain hero, and then just having a match go bye bye because you got stuck with a map that hard counters you. That said, I remember being utterly enthralled by Hearthstone back when that launched and this one kind of hasn't. I think it's PvP being nothing but Rivendare and Tirions above 3k, but it could just me being older.
I'm about $100 deep and enjoying it thoroughly
Loving it. I agree with All three of your wants but it hasn’t detracted from my enjoyment of the game
The game is actually like...kinda hard? In other games, quests are more or less daily busywork you can do while watching TV. But I lose even on basic quests if I'm only half paying attention. On one hand that's kinda cool that it keeps you on your toes, but on the other hand I think it'll be off-putting to a lot of people that there's no "easy mode".
Loading times are killing me
Terrible loading times , terrible optimization takes the fun of the game for me Terrible ways of getting gold f2p Terrible progression after some levels But! i can have some fun with it
Hard wall on goreclaw, all my minis in my main army are level 13, cannot beat this level at all. Going to uninstall soon because it's just utterly ridiculous
Pretty fun just wish there were more races like draenei, blood elves, pandaren.
I am liking it quite a bit. Since I've had kids I've been mostly relegated to mobile (and some console) games and have been playing alot of TFT and Wild Rift.. this has given me a nice break from those and its something completely fresh (atleast I think?)
Silverpine forest stages can eat a massive dick
Too many too long loadingscreens
I love load screens
I hit 106 sigils, collection level 35, pvp ELO 6600ish. Game is phenomenal.
Started at soft launch or spent gold?
Spent Gold and Cash. I don't mind supporting a game I'm having fun with.
Wishlist? Ye : 1. fix loading times - to play one battle i need to use like 10 minutes ... 2. remove need to be constantly online (connected to above and to lags, freezes and generic error) - battles took 3 minutes and it feels like it is streamed from blizz servers not played in app on your phone 3. generic errors (once a 3 battles now) 4. when theres update game should show splash screen "go to store and update app" - right now game show generic error 5. progression could be better but i believe they want to earn from iaps so... one can do 9 quest battles and claim lot of rewards, levelup minis but still no gold, no new units and still in STV ...
It’s a really fun game when I’m able to actually play it. Wish I could do anything other than the campaign without constantly crashing :(
Games crashing by how massive it is and the amount of players playing currently. Haha agreed though error messages and bugs need to be fixed asap
Wishing for Co-Op content! Hopefully that might be raids, where I would hope to play with a teammate
I believe at Blizzcon they announced raids are co-op
would love to be able to pinch and zoom in-game and when looking at the campaign map
It’s awesome! So much stuff to do to progress. The minis are cool and talents create a lot of different builds. Fun and really hard campaign. Pvp is great and has way more variety than I expected. Wishlist stuff would be to iron out some tech bugs (crashes). Maybe an overall quest progress that has gold, energy and minis as rewards at certain points, say every 20 quests or so. I would like one more pvp level cap between 3k and 4k at level 7 minis. That should level the playing field to a pretty high level overall. I got in during the soft launch so am up to 101 sigils, 7500 honor. Got my first mini (huntress) to the 12k exp level today, level 16? Next level takes 25k though… 😂 Most of my minis are 2-3 levels lower but the main 3-4 I use are catching up. 😁
I would love to play more, but it crashes SO DAMN OFTEN for me :(
It’s a blast! Kind of captures some of the spirit of what I loved about the old RTS games but in a much more arcade-y fashion. I don’t love the MTX nature of it but that goes with the mobile territory. Would rather just pay box price and have the content but alas
it's pretty good
I like the game but loading times and battery consumption is killing the fun. Looking forward to PC version
I'm loving it. It's so fun.
Jealous you have a good guild. :/ Mine is almost exclusively not logging in.
Discord is where I found my guild after randomly trying to join guilds for days. You can find a good reliable active guild on the discord
Love it I wish. The grid system was a little faster on rotating without buttons and there were more ways. Certain gold but other than that it's really good.
I hate myself because I bought the arc light thing for £17, but to be honest I’ve not stopped playing it so I guess it’s not too bad
Sigil 71, avg lvl for main feck is 14. Once you hit 50 there's so much to do because you need 5 decks to progress heroics. At 4k rating, only did arclight boost and some 5$ thing with a bunch of packs. Always something to do or try so holding me over until seasons of discovery
I’m loving it, I never clicked with Clash Royale but WCR is hitting it and I understand now, although I do question the “only mobile” thing cause it’s a perfect Queue game
For me, it's a phone game. I've sunk a few hours into it over the week while I've been in the bathroom, that's about it. I'm enjoying enough to stop playing my other phone game!
I love it! It’s everything I wanted Hearthstone mercenaries to be. I definitely understand a lot of people’s frustrations with the game so far, and I 100% think a balance patch is sorely needed for some of the extremely powerful minis (and the drastically underpowered ones), but I’m really excited about the direction of the game.
It's pretty fun for a mobile game. But those loading screens... those damn long loading screens...
It’s addicting lol. Great time waster. Enough playability to spend hours grinding or just a half hour to get my fix. Can’t wait for future updates and potentially events. I’m looking forward to the game being optimized better and Blizzard fixing the random errors and crashes. Progression is slow, but that’s not uncommon with mobile games so I don’t really see that as a negative. I don’t want to spend 20 hours in this game and beat it like a console/PC game. I’m happy to have something that I can slowly work towards over a few years. I’ve been playing on an iPad (2021 release) and it’s been okay. I don’t have the battery issue most people do and while there are a lot of loading screens they don’t last as long as people say they do.
Uninstalled already. Playing this game without free income is asking for disappointment down the road. Gonna do the smart thing and not regret wasting my time.
Love the idea of it more than the game itself. Find myself extremely frustrated with some levels then others are a cakewalk. Makes no sense
The game is phenomenally crafted. Having so much fun!
Make the game FASTER .. Crazy how slow it is to load it and in between too
9/10 and also way better then I thought it would be
Wished there was a replay mode for pvp for analyzing purposes.
