Does anyone care...?

I tried to see what the half blood were capible of before.  The rewards just aren't worth the time and effort.  you need a full upped deck to be really successful versus them, but at that point why not playthe fg's and get better rewards.  The issue is the reward does not match the difficulty.

The problem is that Arena is now the bridge between AI3 and FGs.

Platinum (and even Gold) are often harder than FG's, tho.

They're suppose to be a bridge between AI3 and False Gods. Why not make them closer to that with only 150 health and only 2x mark?

I've always wanted them to be a bit more between these levels, but I guess arena is what does it, and can be more challenging.

I think they can stay, after all there are still people who play it (although I haven't played them for really long now).

The only reason people would play half bloods is the fact that they can drop upped cards. The only way to win upped cards is half bloods, false gods, and special spins in gold/platinum. Half bloods seems to be the easiest out of those.

My solution would be to change the way Halfblood spins work to:
First two spins the cards are chosen among the unupgraded cards in his deck, for the last spin only among the upgraded cards.

If it was like this I'd certainly play it much more. 0 upped cards from 78 games I've won against Halfbloods could be just bad luck but it just doesn't seem worthwhile to me. Having at least a decent chance of getting an upped card would probably attract players much more than now. The decks are fine I think, the variety keeps it rather fun compared to the limited number of False Gods.

If anything, I'd say replace Halfblood spins with a single, no-golden-brackets rarespin a la the end of an Arena streak.

Nope, as jappart clearly stated on page one, they are also a nice diverse opponent that can be a good deal of fun.

Ive actually played a bit against Half bloods. The things that I don't like are: They can be very random(good and bad) but it can be harder to make a stable deck when you don't know what they are going to play. The spins are obviously the worst part. Its rare to even see an upgraded card in the reels let alone match 3 in a row. Also as many have problably seen you can easily get Upped unupped Upped of the same card netting you nothing. Id actually wager that winning ANY card from half bloods is by far the worst rate.

Ways to change them to make them more playable: Health to 150, mark to x2 would be a nice start. Id like to see either 1/3 or 2/3 of the spins be guarentee'd upped card spins, that way at least you'll see an upped card, not have the stupid upped/unupped/upped card problem, and just have at least a little easier time getting an upped from them.

I would definitely like this.  I've had so much trouble getting the new shards.  I keep getting trolled with one spin refusing to show a matching shard.    And then it's back to trying to win 5 in a row (which is outrageously difficult, since the RNG really likes to give horrible draws/starts on the fifth game  )

That said, this might not be a good idea for exactly that reason, that it makes rares easier to grind...actually...that might not be so bad.  At least it would lay to rest the 'newer players are screwed when it comes to rares' talk.

This. Definitely this.
