    I'd say it's a strong mechanic and fun, problem is you really want the legendaries more than usual to open up more options which kind of feels cash grabby even if not intended

    Tourists are literally dual class cards but they require you to own a Legendary and add it to your deck. Imagine if you needed a specific Legendary to add Raise Dead into a deck of its second class.
    All Tourists should have been given for free.

    • @ZAYKONN
      @ZAYKONN 4 месяца назад +10

      Tourists are definetly more special than dual cards as they don't have the limitation of "This cards only", rather they open up a full new set of cards.
      So instead of Warlock just getting a Raise Dead, they get a Raise Dead, Renew and Shadow Visions.
      The real problem is that not every card is like Raise Dead where it's useful for both classes, so you have cards like Cookie who give you a bunch of broken cards and Bonemarrow that give you a bunch of cards you'll never play.

    • @tarille1043
      @tarille1043 4 месяца назад +4

      Normally when they do something like this and put a major expansion mechanic on Legendaries, they at least give everyone a random one for free.
      Of course, the Galakrond's were all given for free so there's even precedent for Legendary required mechanics all been given out for free... (Though you still needed to acquire Kronx yourself)
      But this is the 10th anniversary year, so they have to be as cheap and money grubbing as possible.

    Voljin may as well read “Battlecry: Go fish”. Otherwise the greatest sin with priest right besides getting another bad set is that what does work is just boring. Zarimi priest didn’t drastically change, it just added Big Parma and the fishing rod. The parrots are absolute dust bait, don’t do it unless priest gets something better to do than have another Amanthul copying card.

      @ZAYKONN 4 месяца назад +3

      ...I've actually been winning alot with Zarimi Priest due to Vol'jin.
      The fishing rod is the main reason too, if you have Amalgam in your deck the card is essentially 4 Dragons, and with Vol'jin you can permanently give them the stats of any threatening minion your opponent plays.
      Being Priest also hinders unkilliax as you have the Aman'thul option, so they have to copy the unkilliax multiple times before playing it.
      So the deck either wins with a big swarm of minions or a Gorgonzomu Cheese for even as low as 4-Cost minions with Zarimi.
      2c Parrots also help alot being another source of cheap dragons and board filler and whenever the meta changes from aggro to big minions they'll have access to that Crocodile card to keep up if needed.
      Overall, I think Vol'jin is a win for both aggro and control.

    With Dual class cards they could be designed with the knowledge that both classes could access them. With Tourist every class card is a dual class card, except you need to play this brick in your deck that won’t even necessarily synergize with your game plan. It is purely to sell packs as pushed dual class cards like raise dead are too accessible.

    Hello, Zeddy! This is my first and possibly last comment on your channel. I apologize in advance for my and Google's English. 2 days ago (07/31/2024) I left Hearthstone and I think forever. I want to fill the void in my soul with warm memories and share them with you and your audience. I came to Hearthstone in 2020 with Scholomance (I was 14 years old). At that time I didn't know that there were other modes besides the normal (no rating), I played on an old mobile device (every day, entering the game, I got a 0% error when selecting opponents - eternal selection of an opponent. I had to exit the game 3 times in a row, re-enter, see an empty field and an empty hand, give up and only after that the selection of opponents loaded normally) without an account, did not follow the game news (from 2020 to 2022) on a mage without creatures with the only legendary card - Kthun the Shattered and was truly happy.
    Then my favorite expansion in the history of Hearthstone came out - Divided by Alterac. Hero cards - one love. In this expansion, I created my first two legendary cards - Kazakusan and Gaff. In this expansion, I got Tamsin's phylactery on the day my cat died ... Owl otk warlock, then mine otk warlock - otk deck of my heart. This lasted until 2022, when Murder in Castle Nathria was released. This expansion changed everything: I was able to install Hearthstone on PC, create an account, and start to understand how the game works outside of the normal mode.
    In Castle Nathria, I created my favorite card in Hearthstone history - Duke Theotar, started playing my first control deck - Renothal Druid with Denathrius. This expansion was very successful for me in terms of the number of legendary cards that were disenchanted later or were simply strong/necessary (I played Hearthstone without donations). In this add-on I actively started to go through adventures (I won't mention easy ones for me) I went through Rastahan's Rumble on the first try, Boomsday without any problems, I also went through Knights of the Frosen Throne for 9 classes, but I had to work hard on the mage and hunter, after which I received the most beautiful skin for the paladin, which I later used to take Legend after Legend (leaving Hearthstone, I clicked on all my favorite skins and it turned out that this portrait of Arthas has a musical theme (do any other portraits have this mechanic?), thanks to the developers for this, it warmed my soul), Kobolds and Catacombs I consider the most fun and interesting adventure, seeing those cards, watching funny moments with which I decided to play Hearthstone, was very pleasant and sweet because of that "nostalgia", which they so clumsily (my personal opinion) tried to sell in the Whizbang's workshop, really difficult for me there was a passage of the Catacombs for the priest, I passed it for 6-12 hours and passed only for the Reno-deck without Reno, with Raza, in the final before the boss I was offered 3 dark Anduins, I took them, due to which I won: from the beginning there was a complete failure, I played not from the strategy, but from prevention of lethal damage at me, I played Anduin for 5 armor, the boss attacks, I have 3 hp left, the boss played Deathwing, I have no boardclears, the enemy has no cards, and the second dark Anduin comes from the top deck - victory, the Book of Faelin became the last test on my way so that the achievements in the adventure section were completed 100%, it was very difficult to complete the quest to destroy all the tentacles of Ozumat in 1 turn (I managed to complete it in February 2024). Then the March of the Lich King expansion came out, in this expansion I took Legend in the Wild format for the FIRST TIME with a imp warlock deck from Standard with some changes ). After that, I took Legend in the Standard format on a pure Paladin, which became my favorite aggressive deck. In this expansion, a wonderful card appeared - Astalor. What a pity that it was replaced by Unkilliaks, or even more than one. Moreover, in this expansion, the beginning of my favorite deck in Hearthstone appeared (standard Renatal Reno 3 Blood Death Knight) - still just 3 Blood DK. Then I began to create not cards, but entire decks: Shaman Totem and Big Priest. The Standard format seemed very changeable to me, and the Wild format was calmer, so I decided to invest in it.
    The Festival of Legends expansion pleased me with a wonderful cinematic and a huge number of golden legendaries: 5-6.
    Titans gave me an unforgettable experience playing Yogg for 0 mana and Legend on a hybrid big and aggro hunter, in this expansion I created Pilot Sir Finley and Primus.
    Badlands was a wonderful expansion, because it brought back the mechanics of Reno decks, and Reno Ranger itself shone - the first and last card I created gold. If I'm not mistaken, it was in this expansion that I took my first 12 wins in the arena, playing Reno Shaman with Dr. Holliday (I played more duels, and I just went to the arena for variety, but I didn't manage to get 12 in duels, maximum 10 ...), going 11 wins, 2 losses, in the final I met SilverName, maybe with a guy with the same nickname, in any case
    I realized it only after I prayed hard to Yogg (I prayed to him even before it turned out that my opponent's legendary was Yogg's Dungeon) I missed lethal damage with a bloodthirst (I have screenshots) and started running my eyes around the screen in panic, as a result my opponent, despite the fact that he was a priest, could not heal from 3 hp and clear the table, so I took 12 wins in the arena. I took the legend in this expansion on Reno Big Beast Hunter, it was very unexpected, because the deck has only 2-3 clears, and the main win rate is Thunder Bringer. And after Reno Hunter I found the standard Renatal Reno 3 Blood DK, and my heart belongs to this deck undividedly. Playing it, I laughed in the face of the attempts of aggro decks, and control won with a huge number of different tools: Morgraine, Ignis, Astalor, Lor'themar, golden Fizzle, Reno Ranger, Theotar, Patchwork, the ability to return them to your hand with the help of pandarens, a huge amount of healing and clears, an inimitable recycle of the deck with Finley, tons of HP with Primus (I have a screenshot where I ate a golem from Marrovar at 80/80 with Primus, because of which I have over 110 health) - all this made such a DK my favorite deck, which sank into oblivion with the release of the Whizbangs workshop ... But even before this happened, something more terrible happened: a person close to me died, trying to drown out the pain of loss, I created Reno Quest Mage for 20,000+ dust and began to break into the top 1000 of the Wild every month.
    Starting from the workshop, I felt that I was tired, terribly tired (then I was almost 18), exams are coming soon, I spend 90% of my time on classes, the meta is not at all pleasing, my favorite expansions and decks are gone, only Reno Mage is left. And then a series of very strange and repulsive actions begins: 1. nerf Reno Ranger, nerf Quest Mage, which means 20,000+ dust can be thrown in the trash. I disenchant Reno, Quest, create 3 remaining horsemen of the apocalypse: Warlock Quest, Rogue Pirate and Dark Priest... Needless to say that the gameplay of an aggro deck and a deck for 20,000+ dust is different in both level and comfort? 2. And here begins the story of weekly quests... 3. Removing duels... This add-on really wore me out: disappointing news, strange setting of the add-on, 4. 0 dust for crafting, leaving Hearthstone such important people as legend stuff ( his greeting energised me for the day), Ecore100 and Regis - all this is pretty boring. I felt that the game does not seem like that anymore, but, on the contrary, routine and work, does not bring joy at all. I confess, in a fit of despair I went to battlegrounds (where at 7000+ rating in pair mode I won a game, selling the entire table on the 7th turn), without leaving standard and wild (yes, by the way, since 2022 I took 5 diamond or legend every month in both standard and wild modes, but as you know, the reward is only for 1 mode, so it was more for the soul), but with the onset of Perils in Paradise everything was forgotten, because in my subjective opinion, even if I got as much pleasure from Hearthstone as before, 5. the lack of a promo video, which was even in the Whizbang's workshop, albeit a cut of game scenes, and 6. the playing field, I consider the best excuse to remember that I came to Hearthstone for pleasant emotions and because of my love for the lore of the Blizzard universes (after the chronicles and Christie Golden, I am already reading Knaak's sixth novel, I advise everyone).
    Unfortunately, I no longer see either of these for myself in Hearthstone, and its future doesn't seem very bright to me. So, I'm leaving, my friends! It was a wonderful experience, worth the hours spent, I wish you all, and especially legend stuff, Ecore100, Regis, Redrabbit, Fertonio, heartstone matematics, heart tech, hearstone funny moment, Trolden, Mark (you are a man from another better world) and my biggest youtube Heartstone guru Zeddy and company, who gave and continue to give me and the whole world smiles of bright and carefree happiness, good health and good luck, stay salty and happy! In a few days I will enter university and I will be occupied with completely different matters, but the love for Hearthstone will always live! Farewell and may Mother Moon protect you!

    Tourists exist purely as an avenue of monetisation, and not as a way to make gameplay more interesting. The cards themselves don’t do anything particularly unique or interesting like TITANs, Colossals, they exist purely to act as a 1600 dust barrier to actually becallowed to access the good cards for your class this expansion.
    The only Tourist which sees any actual play as a card is Cookie in Evolve Shaman. Every other Tourist is either comically useless, such as Ryalla and Lynessa, are too slow like Aranna or Mistah Vistah, or actively hamper their respective decks’ game plans, like Hamm.
    They made shitty legendaries because they didn’t even need to try, they’re mandatory crafts regardless of their effects. Mistah Vistah could be a 10 mana 1/1 with no battlecry and Druid would still run him.

    But the way how this is now is borring, not creativ and disappointment. I mean like i say. Its in same the exact same when you say for example all mage cards in this expansion are duo class with Druid. Thats it. A mechanic we had before very often.

    I feel the mechanic is a let down.
    Most of the playable Tourist decks are ones where the cards from the other class just happen to work with what the original class wants to do. Making them effectively just like regular Dual Class cards just with a much lower rate of cohesion (Since regular Dual Class cards simply combine elements of both classes).
    Meanwhile, when trying to be a "Tourist" in the sense of simply accessing another classes identity... It's just bad due to not accessing enough of the other classes tools to be able to make use of them (You can't make a Pain Rogue using Warlock's pain cards. You can't make a good Rainbow DK using Shaman's spell school cards. You can't make a Taunt Hunter using Warriors taunt cards etc)
    Add to this that many of the actual Tourist Legendaries have little to no actual relevance to the class or cards they're accessing (Hamm isn't Druidy. Maestra isn't Warlocky. Vol'jin isn't Huntery. Aranna isn't Priesty. Cookie isn't DHy. Raylla isn't Paladiny) so they often feel completely disconnected from the actual mechanic itself, making their need to be included in a deck completely arbitrary.

    Late comment I know; but as someone who has been watching HS content for some time, and just picked up the game in the last month, I am enjoying the new expansion so far: even if most people seem to agree that it’s a pretty mid set. I like the idea of class tourism; and having the extra flavor of adding a secondary class into your deck seems like it will keep the game fresh, instead of running into the same decks; in theory at least. Hamm and Skyla I think will be likely the tourists actually seeing future play, even if most of the set isn’t meta shifting. Warrior seems to really like druids ramp, and mage obviously wants to cheat out big spells, so I feel like they will get their mileage in standard.

    Honestly this should be a mechanic not tied to cards, a UI that allows you to create a multiclass build with certain limitations where you can add certain types of cards would be more enjoyable and allow for a lot of customization

    I'm not gonna lie. I've played free to play my entire decade of hearthstone. I've played since release. I have never had an issue managing my dust and gold and I've never spent money on this game once. Ive never not been able to craft a legendary i wanted. I think it comes down to being good at managing resources and also being good enough at the game to see returns, through things like arena for example. Right now I have around 10k dust and 5k gold and almost every single non legendary from the expansion, with a lot of legendaries too. the key is not to craft decks that are overpowered, because they get nerfed and you lose your dust. You also have to be very selective with what you turn into dust, in case the card becomes powerful later. Ultimately, if you really just want to play a new deck, make a new account and you get enough dust to do anything. I feel people are held back by laziness and poor management of funds, or wanting to play every single deck in the game on one f2p account.

    The problem is that the game at one point is going to remove their identies . Then when you start , older cards could find a spot but the power creep is awful and there would need to be a massive change down the line .

    Tourist should have just allowed you to use cards from other classes without the need for it to be newest expansion. Would it have been broken? Maybe, but you know what, it would have been more of a mix up than current day decks. If you want to balance it then maybe only 5-6 other cards from the other classes. Just my thoughts

    @damonblack1495 4 месяца назад

    I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. Requiring us to craft bad/average legendary cards to make a deck is a new low for hearthstone. You don't know how they could have gotten around it you say? Didn't they print duel class cards before? Couldn't they have just made every card go into the class's they wanted them to and make better legendaries? It's a mechanic we've had before but the evolution of it in the worst way.
    You also say they can only get better. Sure, the mini set along with buffs and nerfs. But if the expansion sets that come later don't also allow for tourist interactions they will likely age very poorly. Especially since so many of the cards in this set are so polarizing. They are either very good or very bad.
    I know we are awaiting the balance patch but the meta right now is the most unfun to play despite hsreplay showing a lot of class's and decks are similar. Every deck is playing solitaire and will either win or lose based on draw - not what your opponent does really. Lamplighter OTK's, Druid OTK's and Unkilliax. The game is in such a bad state.

      If you get a Warlock hero from Maestra, yes.
      Becoming a new class via using a hero card means your Excavate rewards change to match your new class. This can allow you to get another classes Legendary reward, or it can mean you don't get a 4th Excavate tier if the class doesn't have one (Such as Priest, Druid, Hunter or DH)

  • @zeleros4027
    @zeleros4027 4 месяца назад

    I think the Tourist mechanic is gonna feel fun and interesting until nerfs hit them. Something like Druid, who OTKs with mage cards, is going to be awkward to nerf. We know they aren't going to add the less than one tag to mana cheat, so what do they nerf then? If they nerf a mage card than it feels bad for mages who aren't abusing it. Nerfing druid cards effects warriors now too. Its going to get messy.
    Also, lets not buff cards. Let's stay away from buffs completely. Tons of cards might preform poorly but how can we accurate assess them in the shitshow of a meta that we are in.

    I am wondering isnt like 7% like 57% to 43% not too much of an advantage like in 100 Games you win 7 more. like your oppent wins 43 Games and you win 57.
    Of course that is enough to climb but like winning 7 games more out of hundred says you need 3 games for the next level -> so after a 100 games you go up buy 7/3~2,3 levels. Thats not much at all - when an average game is 15 min - that is 25 Hours to get 3 levels in climb.
    Of course this looks differnt in reality but if you would tell someone who doesnt know the game what a good deck is that looks like no real difference.
    Like maybe in the first levels if you are a good player you will win like 70-80% of games or so and if you get deeper in the ranks you will get closely to 57%
    I feel like ranges in 50%+ and under 60% dont say too much
    when there is like 65% I feel like these decks have a big advantage.
    And I feel like when somebody says he wins 43 games out of hundreds it looks like the deck is still fun to play

  • @ElkaOneOnline

    To me, the "tourist" mechanic is really bad, a worste version of dual class cards (which is also not the good design for the same following reason). In a nutshell, if some class cards are broken or very good, then you will see those same cards twice more, because 2 classes can use them. Yeah, we really want to reduce the variety of played cards. And, like Zeddy said, you need a freaking legendary to activate "tourism" .... This is just the blizzard's current milking technique/scam.
