Hearthstone Mini-Sets Will Refresh the Meta, but at What Cost?
I just hate the new battlepass. If it isn’t easy to complete by doing 2-3 games every day with some days skipped between, it just becomes anti-fun grind that steals time from actual productivity and other games. I have played free to play and only paid for skins if they cost less than 20€ but I feel I’m missing out if I don’t buy the premium battlepass. It just feels like forcing free-to-play players to pay or grind and miss exclusive skins. Do we even know how much it costs? And seriously it doesn’t even come with battlegrounds perks? I really hope the progress change is good, but I’m pessimistic. I hate Demon Hunter, Outland solo adventure was annoying because of Illidan, Scholomance was thematically boring, Book of Heroes is terrible, only good musical trailer was for Outland solo adventure and every loved Team 5 personality has left. I have played since launch and I love this game but this yeas has been really rough for Hearthstone. Call me a Doomsayer but I fear the worst for Hearthstone.
Hearthstone AMA with Developers (August 2020) Summary - Basic/Classic Rework, BG Balane Changes Coming Soon, No Standard Nerfs For Now, New Vanity Cards
From the name Hamuul Runetotem I got scared he would be yet another Shaman hero, but fortunately he is a Druid.
Scholomance Academy – Announcement Analysis & Early Impressions
I think the dual-class cards are important as the Demon Hunter steals 15 neutral cards per expansion and other classes get fewer new cards to play with. We used to get 45 neutrals and now we only get 30. However with dual-class cards we get 14 class cards instead of just 10. Class cards are usually more playable anyway. I hope dual-class cards are here to stay, otherwise the addition of Demon Hunter just made the game more boring with less deck building options per class.
Lead VFX Artist Hadidjah Chamberlin Leaves Hearthstone For "Another Blizzard Project"
She changed to a Demon Hunter and went to Outland, of course she isn’t coming back.
Hearthstone is a weird and amazing game where the creators actually show their faces and shoot sketches to announce the updates. She is talented as a VFX artist AND as an actor!
Deciphering the Year of the Phoenix Expansion Teasers - What We Know so Far About Upcoming Expansions
If Outland is Mad Max themed, what would the others be? I guess Darkmoon Faire would be just a crazy theme park with a terrible dark secret. I know nothing of Void Elves, do they like to party like Medivh?
Priest Class Rework - New/Buffed/Changed Basic & Classic Cards
I don’t have any Shadowforms or Prophet Velen. Should I craft them now? Do I get them for “free”?
"A Storm Is Coming" - March 17 Announcements? New Expansion Set It Nagrand/Outland?
What about the characters? Lunara, Medivh and Murgl the Oracle are all alternate heroes…
What I’m hoping for is Monk hero cards (similar to the Death Knight cards) that feature other heroes than the basic Jaina etc. Other thing is they might be main characters in a new whole year story.
Are Genn Greymane and Baku the Mooneater too strong?
What about the standard rotation? If the card pools are smaller, the Odd/Even deck must use more garbage cards while other decks can use all the top cards. And how about not nerfing them but introducing new mechanics in the new expancions that require multiple odd and even costing cards to be viable? Like Jade Golems or Treant Druid?
