Rant: Why Devs Making New Content Aren't Ruining the Game, Players Are

Negativity breeds fast. I'm pretty sure if I made a post on reddit about how I'm still kind of excited for Mercenaries, I'd be downvoted into oblivion. Neither Battlegrounds nor Duels held my attention past the first month, but while …

Hearthstone's Newest Battlegrounds Hero, Master Nguyen, is a Tribute to the Late Dan Nguyen of the Hearthstone Team

Perhaps the rule doesn't apply to people who have passed away. Very unlikely to have new skeletons revealed at that point.

Blizzard Shares "Good" Hearthstone Decks for Standard and Wild Following Yesterday's Card Nerfs

Prep Sprint, despite being available from the beginning, didn't become commonplace in Rogue decks until close to Naxx, if I remember rightly. It stuck around for quite a long time. Prep reduced by three mana back then, of course.

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #23 - 8th Board Slot, 2022 Expansions Locked-In, Hearthstone Manga?

It's honestly a little bit surprising to me that we're this far into Hearthstone's life cycle, and we haven't seen field effects yet. Seems like it's a mechanic they're considering now. I guess you could consider [card]Transfer Student[/card] to be …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #23 - 8th Board Slot, 2022 Expansions Locked-In, Hearthstone Manga?

I mean, I would always like things to be cheaper! But presumably they have the prices set at where they are because they think this is the highest they will sell well at. If the mega-bundle does worse than usual …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #23 - 8th Board Slot, 2022 Expansions Locked-In, Hearthstone Manga?

Them being separate provides people with more options. Maybe someone just wants to get the new cards from the new expansion, and they don't care about cosmetic hero portaits and golden cards. This method saves them $20.

Blizzard Has Cancelled Their Remaining Solo Reveals, Card Reveal Dump Stream Pushed Up a Day

Right, but we're not in a court of law. If I catch somebody in a lie, I don't have to wait for it to go through a jury to call them a liar.

New Ogre Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by DawN - Two-Faced Investor

Sure, they're not completely equal effects. But both switch a random card by one mana at the same phase of the turn. One, if you get the coin flip, pulls a card/combo one turn early, the other pushes a card/combo …

New Ogre Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by DawN - Two-Faced Investor

Compare this to pre-nerf Far Watch Post, which guaranteed the mana change, and was a 2-cost card on top of that. It's definitely pack filler, but at least it has the ogre flavor.

The Legendary Paladin Questline Has Been Revealed for United in Stormwind by Gamespot - Rise to the Occasion

You don't even necessarily have to make a Dude deck for this to be an endgame win condition. Paly decks already run enough one-drops, between [card]First Day of School[/card], [card]Knight of Anointment[/card], [card]Safety Inspector[/card], [card]Aldor Attendant[/card], any secret, and especially …

New Legendary Hunter Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by Blizzard - The Rat King

Poor guy said he'd never play HS on stream again after how much chat made fun of his plays last time. Someone at Blizzard is conspiring to torment the man.

New Legendary Hunter Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by Blizzard - The Rat King

Youtuber/Twitch streamer Jerma985 made a machinima movie back in 2014. It's pretty meme-tastic.

Hearthstone's Developers Reveal the Top 5 Performing Deck Archetypes From the Top 1% of Players

Hmm, we'll see if they're able to slow down the meta for the new expansion. Otherwise, the quests will go the way of the caravans and be unplayable.

Hearthstone's Fire Festival Returns Next Week - 7 Legendary Quests, Brawls, Firelands Hero Bundle

As somebody who buys all the hero portraits, preparing for the day when Blizzard finally adds the "Random Hero" option, it's actually quite nice to see some released I won't have to buy, for once, since I don't play Battlegrounds.

Ben Brode Talks About Hearthstone's Original Heroes - Hemet Nesingwary, Edwin VanCleef, & Cho'Gall Were All Heroes

"We wanted a balance of races and gender"

Ended up with 7 male and 2 female heroes. Huh, that would maybe explain some of the problems Hearthstone has with balance.

Crabrider Has Been Nerfed! Details on Hearthstone's 5 Nerfs and 10 Buffs Coming in Today's Patch

Yeah, my love of symmetry really doesn't like the fact that only one of the eight Old God cards is not a 10-mana card now. It is super weird.

Hearthstone is Getting a New Esports Card Back for Masters Tour Event Competitors - Golden Skies

Yes, I think it would be absolutely fine to put this card back and the Dalaran Flame card back in the store eventually. I don't necessarily think that exclusivity holds any value in a digital format. That's why NFTs are …

Hearthstone is Getting a New Esports Card Back for Masters Tour Event Competitors - Golden Skies

A card back is insubstantial enough that I think this is fine, too. There've got to be well over 100 in Hearthstone now, right? Maybe even approaching 200? It'd maybe be different if this was something like a Hero portrait …

Hearthstone is Getting a New Esports Card Back for Masters Tour Event Competitors - Golden Skies

You paid money for a card back. You got a card back. You really think Blizzard are spitting in your face allowing other people to enjoy it years later? You're going to call yourself a second-class client because other people …

Dean Ayala's Community Q&A #11 - Diamond Cards for Old Expansions, Warcraft IP, Cross-Franchise Content

I wonder if the intention is for the past expansion Diamond cards picked to be in the Core Set (or Classic for the original set). I would be surprised if they spent time creating cosmetics exclusively for Wild; it's not …
