What is a feature do you want in Hearthstone? What is Hearthstone missing? You know, besides Tournament Mode, Wild Incentives (Wild Open pls), Nozdormu Inn-vationals, Friend's List Bug patched, Master's Tour crowdfunding, Battlegrounds comp events, and a Boar Community Event?

      @ClarkHELLSCREAM Let's be real, no matter how many things we ask for to be added pretty much none of them happen. Wild Open, Tournament Mode, Crowdfunding, there's so much potential but its clear they have no interest in realizing it.

        @ZeddyHS I feel like it has to do more with the size of their team. From what I've seen, it's not that the team doesn't want to put in this features, but there is simply too much to do to create content/expansions in a timely manner, while fixing these as well. I wish I had more info...

          @ZeddyHS but I really do believe that at least talking about these ideas will remind not only the devs, but will remind players, that these possibilities could happen. We may not see it for a while or ever, but if we want something to change, we gotta at least give the feedback.

            @ClarkHELLSCREAM The devs I'm sure want these features, corporate on the other hand (who would have to greenlight and fund this stuff) has made it clear they don't want any resources spent on things like this. If it's not purely monetizable and easy to see for shareholders, they don't care.

              @ZeddyHS See, this is where I don't understand their reasonings for lack of funding. There's tons of ways to profit off these ideas. The biggest thing I'd love to remind Corporate @Activision, is a card game will sell more packs if people want to play. So fix QoL and pay your employees.

                @ClarkHELLSCREAM @ZeddyHS there are 12 open job postings for engineering on just the hearthstone team, including client, features, server, and gameplay. dean specifically said they're going to work on system-level improvements this year. https://t.co/kX0xMHB0zE i think the resources might be there

                  @RidiculousHat @ClarkHELLSCREAM @ZeddyHS There is no corporate overlord telling us what features to make. This has never been supported by anyone in dev over 7 years.

                    @RidiculousHat @ClarkHELLSCREAM @ZeddyHS Everyone I’ve ever met from Acti has been great and shares the vision to create great things we can be proud of. If there is a feature you are excited about that isn’t made, we either don’t agree or it hasn’t been high enough on a stack ranked list to start work on.

                      @IksarHS @RidiculousHat @ClarkHELLSCREAM This actually kind of saddens me, so many amazing features and things the community has been pleading for since I can remember and almost none of it is still in the game. Honestly was hoping you guys were being held back.

                        @ZeddyHS @IksarHS @RidiculousHat "It hasn’t been high enough on a stack ranked list to start work on." They are being held back. By making the important content updates and general dev that needs to get done to keep them on schedule.

                          @ClarkHELLSCREAM @ZeddyHS @RidiculousHat This is true, but in the same way it’s true for every content heavy game.

                            @IksarHS @ClarkHELLSCREAM @ZeddyHS @RidiculousHat The way I looked at though is not every game makes as much as hearthstone and they could easily have expanded the team to be 2-3x the size and supported more feature additions/overhauls if they wanted to cut into the margins. It def is partly a cost benefit per person/feature

                              @derajn @ClarkHELLSCREAM @ZeddyHS @RidiculousHat If we could have ever snapped our fingers and hired 100 quality people in the roles we needed we'd definitely have done it by now. Question is how much outsource are you willing to take on to increase feature updates.
