Hearthstone's Latest Legendary Quest Chain - Battlegrounds-Only Edition for Cosmetic Rewards

If your MMR is dumpstered in BG, half of the players will be afk from jump in a given game. The only reason nearly all of the players aren't afk is because Blizzard made an undocumented stealth change (that didn't …

A Closer Look at Hearthstone's New In-Game Reporting Feature - Developer Insights and Other Details

The intentional lose report function is there to keep the rest of the data clean. Consider:

Player X has a bad time in a match and feels, strongly, that their previous opponent did not conduct themselves in a sportsmanlike …

Special Limited-Time C'thun Event for Hearthstone Mercenaries Is Now Under Way - The Final Old God Emerges

The devs have been making the tasks easier, which is a good thing. I was distracted and didn't get the fast completion I was intended but still got it done several days ago with far less pain than any of …

A Mysterious Recipe!

The decks are standard but the format is Wild -- you can discover anything. That's actually an interesting idea, giving one some varied gameplay without the obscenity that is constructed Wild combos.

As an introduction to the newest expansion, …

Hearthstone Is Getting Another Balance Patch - Coming Soon!

They won't look at Renathal for the same reason they won't look at Guff: they like what they've done and are indifferent to the implications until the latter becomes intolerable for their own future design. Recall how long it took …

Hearthstone Is Getting Another Balance Patch - Coming Soon!

Quest Mage, much like Neptulon, is an evergreen problem in Wild and should be dealt with directly instead of resetting the time bomb by crushing some other card that happens to trigger its ascendancy once more.

Final Battlegrounds Reveals From Educated Collins and Shadybunny, Plus a Chat with Hearthstone Developers

The other person to reply to you is correct, but the Toxfin/Sefin disparity can't be overstated. I've had Sefins sniped 12 times in a row. You can literally get nothing out of them, wasting the whole investment. In addition, they …

Final Battlegrounds Reveals From Educated Collins and Shadybunny, Plus a Chat with Hearthstone Developers

Hearthstone Devs:

• Make a pro-Demon pach.

• Make the best (early) Demon harder to get but don't give it stats to compensate.

• Add lackluster Demons.

• Make Murlocs WAY FREAKN' BETTER.

Sounds about …

4 New Quest Rewards for Hearthstone Battlegrounds Revealed by Blizzard

I appreciate the help and my god: the lengths the devs have gone to to not use typical game language and templating (including that already found in HS) is astounding.

Normally, the excuse for poor formatting is space, but …

4 New Quest Rewards for Hearthstone Battlegrounds Revealed by Blizzard

It isn't always clear which of these go off exactly once and which happen every turn, so one assumes that they are every turn. If they vary, then the writing is awful.

New Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season and Special Content Coming Soon - Unique Rewards Track and Pass, Added Mechanics, Minions, Heroes, & More!

I didn't misread it -- but they did, in fact, miswrite it.

After checking on the devs on social media, they clarified that they hadn't written up the announcement all that well and, thankfully, contradicted it.

New Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season and Special Content Coming Soon - Unique Rewards Track and Pass, Added Mechanics, Minions, Heroes, & More!

Congratulations, F2P players: you're looking at what might be the worst patch in Hearthstone history.

The Runestones are an obvious cash grab, but here's what the Battlegrounds changes are really all about:

Just adding my two cents. No packs here after what has to be five hours plus.

Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's Recent Card Buffs, Including Demon Hunter's Relics and Pure Paladin

The Demon Hunter buffs accomplished little but an uptick in interest -- Relics are still trash and Renathal plus Implock makes aggro DH a joke. [card]Irebound Brute[/card] is worthless because the tools needed to make it, and Quest, work were …

All Standard & Wild Hearthstone Balance Changes Detailed - Some Nerfs and Lots of Buffs Are Now on the Way

Going to give a little update here, having played with these changes. Despite the herculean effort to maintain positivity, what was almost completely obvious turned out to be true: Relics are still absolute shite and are conceptual failures. Combined with …

All Balance Changes Coming to Hearthstone Battlegrounds - The Return of Grease Bot and Garr, Minion and Hero Updates, & More

Never had the chance to use Lich Baz’hial's coins with Nagas, by some weird coincidence, and now it looks like that may never happen.

Elise looks like a super-high-skill ceiling power . . . which will be mostly used …

All Standard & Wild Hearthstone Balance Changes Detailed - Some Nerfs and Lots of Buffs Are Now on the Way

Mixed feelings. The nerfs seem solid. The buffs are actually choosing better targets than normal, but I have a minor nitpick with Demon Hunter.

DH has a lot of completely dead spells that never had the mana cost they …

With two more copies in hand, just granted on the draw, not even from the opening or mulligan.

Demon Hunter in Murder at Castle Nathria - Top New Cards and Best Day 1 Decks

[card]Murlocula[/card] should be mentioned here.

[card]Murlocula[/card] should be mentioned on every class page that has an aggro concept.

It needs to be tested first and foremost, because if it works, it will be rotation-defining.

Madame Lazul and Maiev Shadowsong Skins Return to Hearthstone's In-Game Shop for a Limited Time

They pop this skin sale for a skin I've been waiting for for ages right before the expansion drops. Figures.
