- Tell us what you love about the site.
- I recently visited the card page for Deathwing, Dragonlord and I noticed that on the top of the page there was a banner for Whispers of the Old Gods. It was so well done that I kind of overlooked it. So I started looking at other cards and even Wilfred Fizzlebang has a banner celebrating the card set where this card came from. I wanted to say that design choice looks really nice.
- I love that you provide the font choice Helvetica.
- I love how the moderators respawn super quickly. It feels like a small community even though I am pretty sure this site is growing in popularity.
- Give us details on the things you hate.
- I can't change the text color back to the original/default color using the text color options
- This is the original color. This is white. This is gray. This is medium gray. I can't customize the color nor do I really care.
- I hate that I can't really keep track of my posts. I think there should be a link to my posts on my member's page just like there is a threads box.
- The very top heading looks awkward: Hey, ArcticFox! [Profile] [Manage] Sign Out]
- I like where it says my name but that's it. If you want to keep the "Hey," so be it but the rest is awkward and probably should be revisited in the future. "Profile" is [bad] redundancy. "Profile" and "Manage" should not be the third word on every page on this website. It simply is not that important. So if you hid those two options the top of the page would read "Hey, ArcticFox Sign Out" and perhaps some people might feel that I should sign out (Kappa) but that probably is not the best heading for this website which is why "Sign Out" should be hidden as well. It is nice to see my avatar which I selected and I think it should appear to the left or above my username.
- Think you have an idea to make something better? Tell us!
- Box up the headings "Out of Cards Beta," "Decks," "Cards," "Deckbuilder," "Expansions," "Guides," "Forums" and use some kind of image or icon. It would reinforce the idea that the user can click directly on them.
- Provide us with new ideas that you'd like to see us implement to make HearthStation even better.
- I would like to Filter your list of decks by cards or "Contains." When I get a new legendary card I will want to search up the best decks that include that card and a search option similar to Hearthpwn would be appreciated. I only know that there is not a single deck that uses Wilfred Fizzlebang because I visited the card page and the "Top Decks" section was completely missing.
- Celebrate Artists of Cards:
- Provide the name of the artist of each card in their respected card home page. This might be easier while Hearthpwn is still up. I wouldn't have known that Alex Horley did the art for Deathwing, Dragonlord had hearthpwn not included that information.
- Have an artist area similiar to https://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Alex_Horley#Credits_and_debug_cards
- On a side note is Gamepedia stopping their services too as their Hearthstone section is called Hearthpwn? If they are closing shop there might be a lot of useful information that will be leaving the internet. Information like when certain expansions were released to help with my own personal predictions of future expansions.
