Just a lot of bloat and probably a lack of QA. It's the same four line menu from launch. But it seems some of it might have been lock ups when I was supposed to receive toast.īut that's another thing: the UI is clunky. I played rank for the first year or two, so opening it up and playing now there were all sorts of return player toast. One bad one is right after the first phase of mercenaries. Like right after opening, opening the store or achievements. It's especially when there's a big change in ui. I've been playing on a 2021 fire 10 hd and it locks up randomly. Nintendo makes better optimized mobile games than Blizzard, of all companies.I have a similar experience. I haven't had issues with opening packs but I also use the space bar to move the pack to the middle instead, dunno if you're dragging them with the mouse every time. I'd be willing to accept some could just be server lag at times, but the shop is always a frustrating experience.Īll my stats are a bit behind you too, my phone is a Samsung S20, and computer has 1060 3GB, with intel i5-6600k. Similar issues happen with the achievements, where it's a pain to scroll to, and then sometimes to actually check the achievement off it takes a few seconds of spamming click on it. This clears up after like 5 seconds but it's still weird that it even happens quite honestly every time I open the shop. Trying to scroll to the bottom to buy a pack with coins causes the scroll to freak out sometimes, other times it just doesn't even want to budge. The biggest repeated issue I've had is sluggish UI, specifically when browsing the shop or when trying to clear out new achievements. I can't say I've had similar issues to that degree honestly.

In fact, the only other crash I had was WoW during that time frame.įor the insane prices they charge and comparing to other "F2P" games, Hearthstone feels like it was made overnight in some dude's basement rather than a title put out by a AAA developer that has been around for years.įor reference my PC is a serviceable machine, running WoW on med-high settings with no issues.
It has crashed more than every other thing combined I have run on my PC in the last 3-4 weeks. The iPad version of Blizzards all-conquering card-em-up has just arrived on Apples American and UK App Stores, having already been soft launched in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. The desktop app is insanely slow, somehow the interface is worse than the mobile app. Opening multiple packs feel more like a chore than a fun experience. You can randomly touch through the screen and the app minimizes/crashes. The mobile app constantly disconnects if your phone goes into standby or lock screen. I've been playing Hearthstone more lately, hitting up Merc mode in my down time.
