Yep, nice to see balance updates.

Thats exatly how I feel as well. Dont think there will be many (if any) Collection-Games and mostly Unlimited. The change you suggested with making Ranked the Collection-Mode is the best solution imo. For the people saying, that they dont want to grind for endless hours to get the right upgrades and cards: I've done 3 or 4 times my daily Quests now and invested like 15-30 min in the AH every day. After 4 days I have a lvl 70+ deck alrdy with quite some cards bought off the AH. So after max 2 weeks of playing an hour every day (which is really not much) you would easily have collected an entire 110+ deck. I mean its a freakin game where you are supposed to collect cards. Thats one of the main motivation factors for the game, no?

Dont know how people feel about this, but for me this changes absolutely nothing. If I play PVP, i play ranked exclusively. (Also I dont think people will use the option to play the Collection-Mode when there is a Free120-Mode or only use it very rarely, which leads to high Q times.) If you would switch that change, so people can play anything in unranked, but actually need to use their own deck in ranked, that'd be perfect. I mean unranked is meant for testing stuff, playing for fun etc. Ranked is - as the name says - a ranked mode with leaderboard etc. where you can expect people to put in a little work, right? Also doenst farming cards & upgrades add longlivety to the game? I remember that games where you got everything instantly never had much of a replayability-factor for me. Would love to know how other people feel about this.

Unfortunately I dont think this is the right step. I do not expect many players to use that Collection Mode in Unranked. Thats something thats needed for Ranked! (Not Optional if you ask me!) In unranked let people have fun with fully upgraded decks, but in ranked you should have to farm your cards n upgrades!

So after starting a little bit late to the party I finally started playing 2 days ago. After waiting for the final release for years I was so hyped and couldnt wait to start playing. I mean i could finally play BF again, grind PvE Maps to farm upgrades to build an amazing PvP deck, buy & sell stuff on the AH to increase my BFP to buy stuff for a proper PvP deck. What could go wrong? 2 days later my motivation to play has gone to 0. I run every game into a 120 Pure Fire or Pure Shadow Deck. No variety at all. Neither do I want to play PVE to farm upgrades - i mean hey, i have everything for free, right? - nor do I want to play PVP because i run into the same 2 maxed out perfect decks EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! And what point in selling/ buying stuff on the AH, because once again, I have everything i need for free. So TLDR: Those free PvP decks took every bit of motivation to play any aspect of the game. Neither PVP, nor PVE, nor trading on the AH provides any fun. If it were for me, remove the free decks completely. If staff wants to keep the free decks, at least the Upgrades to U2 or rather U1. Thats more than enough to test the decks. And/Or make the decks exclusively for Non-Ranked!

Looks like I can't participate at all this time, had to change shifts so I work Saturday afternoon/ evening now.

I just realized I work that saturday. So if tourney starts before 5pm I can't participate. If it starts after, I'm in!

Well, a brawl takes 5 days. If a good brawl comes out, we have plenty of time to organize the tourney

I'm in again, either as player or as (Co?)Streamer
