Leaked Info About New Hearthstone Expansion Set in the Alterac Valley - Hero Cards, New Keyword, Honor System and more!

Xyrella is Alliance. I agree the draenai are almost too interesting to fit with the 'traditional fantasy good guy race' thing the Alliance has going on.

As for the 20 mana thing... let's see who gets it, and if …

Quote From aposteljoe

I'm interessted in the Alliance vs. Horde mechanic though. Wasn't there sth similiar during Gadgetzan with the gangs battling over the city?

Yep, though the Gadgetzan one was very much tied to …

Hearthstone's Alterac Valley Expansion Card Reveals Begin on November 16

WoW is only a semi-finite landscape. Not only is its own landscape growing with each of its own expansions, but HS has more or less complete freedom to explore alternate realities and/or expand tiny places or events into full expansions. …

Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's Upcoming Nerfs and Buff, Including Garrote and Arcanist Dawngrasp

On the face of it [card]Renew[/card] at 1 mana is actually fine, and honestly an appropriate power level for a class that is supposed to be good at both healing and card/value generation. It was only really hit to break …

Eurogamer Italy Leaks the First Alterac Valley Hearthstone Card - Legendary Freeze Synergy for Shamans

Despite the obvious story reasons for them, penta-class cards seem a touch overkill; they might as well just be fully neutral at that point. Nevertheless, you are of course right that we don't know what the main set mechanics are, …

Eurogamer Italy Leaks the First Alterac Valley Hearthstone Card - Legendary Freeze Synergy for Shamans

Scabbs' arc hasn't even begun yet, since he's just been a tag-along who we know was sent by SI:7 to recover a naaru shard, but that's about it. I suspect his sleuthing exposing Onyxia as the nefarious driver of the …

Eurogamer Italy Leaks the First Alterac Valley Hearthstone Card - Legendary Freeze Synergy for Shamans

And I had that confidence Shaw would appear last time, yet he never did, despite being among the most obvious characters to appear, and it even being a rogue set focused on the SI:7. There wasn't even a lore-based reason …

Hang on a second. If this is one of shaman's legendaries, then either the mercenary characters won't get a legendary card this time, or Drek'thar (the guy who renounced being a warlock and returned the orcs to their honourable shamanistic …

Hearthstone's Matt London Provides Development Insights on Book of Mercenaries Cariel

In fairness, it's only really 1 comment with its own string of responses. If anything, you're the bigger offender by bringing them into a second, independent comment without actually discussing what Matt said either :P

Hearthstone's Matt London Provides Development Insights on Book of Mercenaries Cariel

Woah, there. Hold up. I fully appreciate that I'm pretty far out of the 'loop' when it comes to sensibilities on sexualised images, but when did exposed shoulders become part of the discussion? The world is a whole lot randier …

Hearthstone's Matt London Provides Development Insights on Book of Mercenaries Cariel

There's definitely something I'm missing: where is the inconsistency here? The young Cariel artwork even has an orange under-shirt thing (vest? I'm no fashionista that's for sure :P) serving a similar role to the bit they added to Jaina's artwork.

Hearthstone Book of Mercenaries Carial Roame is Now Live - Get a Free Paladin Card Pack

I agree the final Tamsin fight was a bit too easy (though I did screw myself over at the final hurdle by playing the 9-mana card that is there for the story, only to find out her minions were way …

Hearthstone Book of Mercenaries Carial Roame is Now Live - Get a Free Paladin Card Pack

I liked it personally. It was very much a family matter rather than a big advancement of the plot, and that's a decent way to make use of the family they introduced. The first mission in particular did much more …

Hearthstone Patch 21.6: All Known Issues and Fixes So Far - Battlegrounds Diablo Buff, Legendary Questline, Duels & Mercenaries

The most important reason as to why people deep-dive into lore is simply that they enjoy it, as you acknowledge. I for one am a complete sucker for learning the lore of (usually) fantasy worlds, and tend to value that …

Achievement Hunting: Deadmines edition

A few additional comments from my own efforts (with all done except the bugged hunter one and a few kills to go with Goliath): Generally, I'm glad none of these were frustratingly grindy. Hopefully that's a sign of things changing …

Hearthstone Patch 21.6: All Known Issues and Fixes So Far - Battlegrounds Diablo Buff, Legendary Questline, Duels & Mercenaries

Balancing may come into it, and I suppose it is akin to how HS has balancing made fundamentally easier by having truly distinct classes. I'm not sure Edwin being a human would be a problem, but fine. I was more …

Hearthstone Patch 21.6: All Known Issues and Fixes So Far - Battlegrounds Diablo Buff, Legendary Questline, Duels & Mercenaries

Yeah, I've had both of these issues. I'm waiting for them to announce a fix for the hunter one before I start on it again.

Meanwhile, the dormant part not working with the DH achievement really annoys me because …

Edwin, Defias Kingpin is Making Miracles - A Full Guide to Miracle Rogue on the Wildest of Wednesdays

I think a lot of people are judging him by the wrong metric, and counting it as a success only when he's absolutely massive. Quite frankly, just being a 4 mana 6/6 that drew 2 cards is pretty damn good …

Edwin, Defias Kingpin is Making Miracles - A Full Guide to Miracle Rogue on the Wildest of Wednesdays

I think that's exactly my problem as I always feel really dirty with high-roll-y decks that don't need much of a high-roll, so tend to 'lock them away' to repent for my sin of playing them :P

If it's …
