Many expressed disappointment for not having to grind for PvP cards.
I started to play the game in January 2020 and was able to obtain all cards by release day.
Now that I am experiencing the new method I also share the same disappointment of not having to grind for PvP cards.
The latest patch which interduces the PvP collection mode is a commendable effort by the developers to address this issue.
However, I am afraid it is not going far enough to resolve the issue.
I predict most players will continue to play "Unlimited" PvP and ignore the "Collection" PvP mode.
My suggestion is to change "Ranked PvP" to collection mode only and increase its Gold reward greatly in order to attract more players to that mode.
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?

We added a new mode in sparring which does not allow the usage of the free PvP decks. Free PvP decks will be allowed in the ranked mode just as before. We do not want players who get lucky with boosters, or those who have spent the most time grinding upgrades and gold in PvE maps to have any kind of advantage.
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.

Patch #400021
General changes.
- Added "Unlimited" PvP mode for sparring. In this sparring mode players can use both the free PvP cards and the cards from their own collection. This is unlike the "Collection" sparring PvP mode which was changed to allow players to only use cards from their own collection (and will not allow free PvP cards to be used). Ranked PvP works as before and players can freely choose what cards they would like to use.
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!gemeiner Lauch likes this -

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
-
But you need a fun and fair Tavern Brawl for it. Also you could level your EU acc a little
-
Well next time we can make a different rule set. There is always the possibility of a draft (with external website, it's super fun), a themed tounrey (like 1 legendary, 2 epics, 5 rares max) or a Tavern Brawl tourney. So it's not autowin for people who own more cards
-
Well, was alittle easier that I tought It'd gonna be
But was great fun to play with ya all and I hope we can repeat the tourney.
If we make another one in 1-2 weeks I'd also offer like 5 packs for top 3 or so as prizes and would maybe stream (together with @Eirias?)
/eedit: Or defend my title ofc

We need an invite to join this chat I think. If not you need to tell me how to join chats, I've never used discord and can't find it

In tournaments, the winner usually has to change deck, atleast in all the ones I've seen, the loser can keep playing his deck or play it at a later time though
Well, there are different tournament formats. The one you mentioned above is the format Blizzard uses at the moment. There is also the "Last Hero Standing" format, which requires you to defeat the opponent until he is out of decks (decks that lose a game are out).
-
OK, so basivally Last Hero Standing format
-
Rule clarification "You CAN play 3 different decks" means you have to switch your deck after you win with it, right?
-
I'm fine with both dates
Definietly Bo3 (2 wins)
-
Geradon#2810 I pick number 6.
Can't we just play a Bo3 format instead of Bo1? A Bo1 tournament is sooooo rng depended and will be over in like no time.
