My silly, non-serious, answer:
New Game mode:
Hearthstone GarageBand with all sound effects and card sounds.
New Game mode?
New game mode....considering how downhill things have been going in Battlegrounds in terms of balance, the idea of them adding another mode to work on doesn't fill me with optimism. They can barely handle the one they have.
No need to speculate here, it's the same Icon as the "Achivements and progression" logo from the roadmap.
Unfortunately you woukd have to wait until around march fot that
They aren't going to announce details on that until the start of a new Hearthstone year.
Honestly, if they implement achievements at the start of the next expansion and those are exciting enough, I might even return to the game.
I would love to see a 2v2 PvP system, even if they do it just for the sake of fun (no rankings, no rewards, so they don't have to be super careful with balance and this impact other modes).
It's an interesting idea, but since it would rely quite heavily on your ally having some idea of what your deck includes, it would probably be even more biased against people making home-brews than constructed is. Since my biggest hope is just that I can make use of my favourite old weak cards again (one day, Coliseum Manager, one day...), that would be a huge turn off for me.
Separate lines, please!
"Back to the office!" If you want to win it's usually bad to trigger that inspire effect, but the accompanying voiceline always puts a smile on my face, and isn't that what gaming is all about?
That they decide to fit everything into one event might well signal that the new reward system isn't going to start more controversy, so I eagerly wait to hear more details on it. Let's hope it doesn't descent into riot.
New game mode, what could it be? Something tells me that either its just regular hearthstone with gimmicks (start at 40hp, deathrattles pop immediately, new hero power, etc.) or its them making attempts to cut into their competitors market (LoR rules, hearthstone cards).
Expansion. Hype. But I got to say that this might be one of those few times I'm actually more interested in the other news that comes along with the expansion announcement. Expect 6-12 really hot cards to be revealed, followed by 2 weeks of nothing before the reveal season starts.
For me depending on what the new game mode it could be the worst/least exciting/intresting part of anouncement
The expac if its darkmoonfair i dont think il be to hyped(i dont like scholomances theme at all and is the least ive played in years)
The battlepast if done well and dont loose gold but gain more packs and cosmetics like portaits or aternate arts could be really good thing(and could make it more bearable when blizz nerfs/delets cards/decks more and more often)
New expansion - right now my hype is not big, but after video with song and few spoilers probably as usual will skyrocket.
New Progress - if Battle Pass would be similar to MTG Arena one I am all for it,it gives you more stuff and you have feel you get anything during season. Right now each expansion its like - buy packs at start and use first earned money to buy new packs and then for two months straight save money getting almost nothing new exiting to earn. I do not care if in battle pass and or progression system I will have chance to earn card back or emotes or skin or whatever. Earning anything than just gold during season is nice.
New Game mode - I hope it will be new PvP not PvE. While I enjoy Hearthstone PvE modes I would prefer PvP specially with new progress and battle pass.
Don’t worry, the new game mode will definitely be pvp. They clearly differentiate between single player content and a new mode
Would be nice if the new game mode is Tournament mode where you can compete several other people using 3-4 custom decks. I was actively participating in tournaments a long time ago, that time everything was done manually. So I'd like to see a game-controlled class ban system, tournament table, and other corresponding things.
This mode should have appeared with (or soon after) the release of the game itself, but somehow I think this won't happen soon.
Personaly i realy really hope its not a Tournmanet mode at al.
I dont like tournmanents or HS competive scene at all.
And PERSONALY id way rather see something compelty different from basicly then regular play but still HS , like more hp +bigger decks and starting hand or commander or Dual/tri class.
If its tournament stuff unless need to use it for quests or such I wouldnt ever use it/touch it at all,and id rather have more unique/intresting then competive stuff.
still nervous about the battle pass...
This battle pass could be the final kick for me to finally quit HS for sure.
I really don't know what the new game mode is gonna be. I hope it's some kind of pack-opening format.
