@HolyKnight077 1. Tired Dad 2. He's great! Healthy and happy and family is a ball of love. 3. Well, we don't have one currently made but it sounds like a good idea. Arthas is such a cool character we should do more with him...

@TimRizzo Itachi, Might Guy, generally just more background on the Akatsuki

@imik_plays Doing some BG work now for new cosmetics and light progression. Also in early prototype stages for different modes of BG but haven't landed on anything. We'd like to make tournaments for BG in-client in a way that could translate to other modes as well.

@machadogps @Songbird_HS and @Chakki_HS are my fighters, me and @Celestalon are casters, @LinusFlink and @jerrymascho protectors.

@MagikMilk25 At least one medium big thing in progress. Beyond that, I'd say we're in planning for the next big big thing and not quite in execution for the next big big thing.

@coolboypai All the time! We actually have a whole internal team called game and market intelligence that gives pretty robust presentations on what is going on around the industry. Beyond that, we're all gamers so we end up experiencing and sharing other game content naturally.

@MagikMilk25 @RegisKillbin Mind goes to something in the space of performing for your opponent. "Do a thing, if your opponent liked it, do it again." "Do a thing, if your opponent likes that thing, get a bonus." Start there, try to define what my opponent liking my performance means.

@balanira_ I actually like this, just have to figure out the right UI flow for it. As we create more types of cosmetics (and bg skins grow in scope) having this optionality feels useful. Was already on the long list of 'decide if we want to do this when tier A tasks are done'.

@hsWhiteDelight We don't really talk much about ways we can make bloodbloom better, sorry to say we're unlikely to do so anytime in the near future. Bloodbloom dangerous!

@imik_plays If we changed class leveling system I'd want to find a way to make it infinite or close to infinite so we don't have to address and readdress the issue of some players hitting cap easily and some players never reaching it.

@troldann !! thank you for the knowledge I will educate myself further and try and type the correct thing next time

@Kross3d_ Really just a question of time vs value. If I could blink this feature into existence I would but something like this is very complex to set up. I have a hard time believing we'd choose to do it over XYZ things we could do instead.

@RidiculousHat Most of the time something gets released, the team has been finished with it for a significant amount of time. How people feel about it is pretty varied, if it's a new lead there is always some nervousness but I think over time it's just an exciting moment.

@lamri247 At the time the thought was that someone spending that much money should get significant value, so throwing BG perks in so you didn't feel like you also had to buy it was maybe a good thing.

@ggahSoO orcs baybeeeeeeeeeeee

@Banez_86 All those characters are too big and awesome to not use in the future :)

@MackeyD3_ Have some plans to make adjustments to quests to better align with mercs. Overall we're pretty happy with the end result so far. Free experience was meant to be fun and fulfilling while speed of collection acquisition and cosmetics locked behind business model.

@coolbeansjorge we'll have a miniset, not ready to say when but it's coming

@Blumpo4 Better question for the design lead for mercs, Paul. As a team, the inspiration originally came from Paul being awesome and talented. Team wanted to find a way for Paul to use his immense skillset to create something he was passionate about.

@JockyRhonson We actually prototyped some versions of graveyards fairly recently, but it's not the first time we've done it. In order to create an entirely new space for cards we'd have to be very, very excited for the gameplay it opens up. Haven't gotten there yet.

@OftenJustinTime For one, I think like you mentioned the real-game impact is almost non existent. I'd also argue that a change like this would have a bigger negative impact on people who love the idea of going infinite than it would on people who dislike the infinite thing happening to them.

@WardrumHS probably vanilla

@MagikMilk25 The only expansion we've discussed revisiting is Naxxramas. Didn't happen, but definitely iconic enough (and old enough) to be exciting as a place to revisit.

@FenoHS I personally like that look much more. TBH I hadn't thought of just doing it for future sets, not a bad idea I will bring it up with our art director.

@ChaosOS_59 That there are many different ways to be an effective game designer. It sounds obvious, but it's easy to define things like core values and twist that into everyone on the team should believe in the same things.

@kolstIRL Dual-class coming again. More details soonish.

@ben_heathstone i liked lil bebeh king krush

@Gu1Danie1 guldaniel fights against gul'dan nerf, huh?

@EmilianTeodor To be totally clear it's in the 'we definitely want it, but we definitely haven't started it' category. We have some engineering and UI bandwidth on BG so I think we'll start there, but we're still in the phase of defining what a tournament should even look like or appeal to.

@Beanokitten Goal with quests was to motivate you to try a new thing you might not be comfortable with and compensate you with additional reward for trying that thing. If both quests had the same value I think all players would just be incentivized to reroll for the generic thing.

@Jose_Palos Worry for this with arena is always that players will just reroll until they draft a ridiculously powerful deck. Players that don't do this end up getting crushed, so they feel like they have to do it, too.

@Hyyyyl @ItsMeMollyO and I never got through Cowboy Bebop so we're watching that. Got sidetracked by watching some non-anime shows, though. Squid Game, Morning Show, and Foundation. All were great.

@fribzHS yes and no So, the trick to running a successful AMA is to be open to answering anything. If there is a hot topic in the community and you completely avoid it, that's a problem. The goal of an AMA is to introduce honest and open communication.
