@Tabayrak Fired up a duels run, wanted to play Drek'thar but found out that I had to play Drek'thar previously to get access to the other choices. Don't you think this method of progression is discouraging casual plauyers like me from trying out the new heroes?

      @scorpio_hs Yeah lets talk about it! So in short I agree that the long form unlocks are not great and nothing is set in stone as evident to relinquishing the unlocks on the Scholomance heroes once they were out for a year. 1/X

        @scorpio_hs I am pretty fond of the unlock process as it "can" (can being the primary word here) create a feeling of power progression for your hero. This creates room to feel like you are progressing your character unlocking new abilities. 2/X

          @scorpio_hs Additionally they are a great space to inform deck archetypes and allows us to lean on these unlocks to create teaching moments for players. A good example: Drekthar by playing Battlecry minions you unlock Shaman.3/X

            @scorpio_hs Shaman and Warrior have no shortage in Battlecries with Shaman having the powerful elemental package right? Shaman can easily build into fire or frost unlocking the other two treasures. I think that progression feels natural.4/X

              @scorpio_hs I think a space where the hero's unlocks fell short were the play Honorable kill and especially play 200 neutral minions of Year of a Gryphon. So where does this leave us. We took that feedback to heart, with the new heroes having GREATLY reduced requirements.5/X

                @scorpio_hs You should be able to unlock multiple Signature Treasures or Hero Powers in a single run, in tandem if you already have them unlocked in the Tombs of Terror adventure you will have access to them immediately on patch release. Welcome back and thank you for your thoughts. 6/6
