Early Access Look at Hearthstone Mercenaries Gameplay - First 2 Tutorials, Upgraded Account, Party Building, & More From Slysssa

Big oof from me. I just watched Kripp play PvP in a different video, and if the game launches like this, it will be fundamentally broken. You can't view your opponents' mercenaries' skills or ability trees during combat, and you …

Is the patch live? My client updated, but I don't have access to Pyke or Nami in the Scourge.,

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

I've definitely been posting grumpier Hearthstone rants lately but this is my platform of choice because of the fantastic community Flux and the others have created. I know I can rant here without an endless stream of responses devolving into …

Hearthstone's Arena Mode Could Potentially See Updates Next Year Thanks to Blizzard's Annual "Free Your Mind" Event

Yep, just like Runeterra. Hearthstone implemented the Tavern Tickets years ago before Runeterra existed, but I know on at least one occasion - pre Rewards-track - I was supposed to have multiple, but I was only able to cash one …

Hearthstone's Mercenaries Debut Stream - Everything New We've Learned About the Mode Releasing in October

It's been an active hobby and I'm an adult with a stable job so I don't exactly begrudge the $50 I spent every few months. But it's objectively a steep price to pay for what we're getting, and I genuinely …

Hearthstone's Arena Mode Could Potentially See Updates Next Year Thanks to Blizzard's Annual "Free Your Mind" Event

Without much work they could 1) Make Tavern Tickets an official in-game currency. 2) Award 1 free Tavern Ticket per week for completing a quest or objective (i.e. complete 2 weekly quests to earn it). For the last several cycles …

Hearthstone's Mercenaries Debut Stream - Everything New We've Learned About the Mode Releasing in October

To clarify, I've bought ever $50 pre-order for years, and have never achieved a full set. I do imagine you'd get there with the $80 bundle. I haven't paid that much for a single video game since Super Mario 3.

Hearthstone's Mercenaries Debut Stream - Everything New We've Learned About the Mode Releasing in October

You're generally right about how it was advertised. I think what really set me off is the new currency and pack-system. It's one thing to "not use your existing collection" and another thing to have you start building an entirely …

Hearthstone's Mercenaries Debut Stream - Everything New We've Learned About the Mode Releasing in October

I'm just sort of confused at this point. The possibilities for a digital card game over a physical one (as someone who got priced out of playing MtG as a teenager in the late-90s) have always excited me. But at …

Hearthstone's Warlock Nerf Announced - Stealer of Souls & Flesh Giant Both Receiving Cost Increases

I wish they would shed some light on how sets are actually play-tested. We hear a lot about initial design team and final design team, but there are obvious issues on Day 1/Week 1 that would be noticed through even …

Runeterra's Beyond the Bandlewood Patch Notes - New Region, Cosmetics, Expeditions, & More

Hmm, I was really hoping for some bonus XP on the first 12 levels of Targon. I just started playing again, and have been holding off on leveling up that region thinking that it would get bonus XP now that …

Caitlyn Piltover & Zaun Champion Reveal - 12 New P&Z Runeterra Cards Revealed

Most Wanted forces your opponent to draw three if you target them, correct? It's designed for the trap synergy, but it's a very interesting effect to have in the game generally.

Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's August Stormwind Card Nerfs Including Il'gynoth & Darkglare

I still think the most elegant solution to Il'Gynoth would have been to restrict [card]Mo'arg Artificer[/card] to doubling damage instead of multiplying it. The same way that playing two cards that trigger battlecries twice doesn't make them trigger twice again. …

Incanter's Flow Nerfed! 8 Card Changes are Coming to Hearthstone This Week - Stormwind Balance Adjustments Detailed

[card]Kolkar Pack Runner[/card] and [card]Darkglare[/card] shouldn't be 3/4. Minions should either have premium stats or premium effects, not both. Ignoring [card]Aimed Shot[/card] and [card]Stealer of Souls[/card] is a bad idea. The former should only be able to target minions, and …

The First Round of Stormwind Balance Changes Is Near - What Could We Expect?

Aimed shot should read, "Deal 3 damage to a minion." I would reduce Pack Runner to a 2/2 and otherwise keep it the same.

Runeterra Reveals New "Manifest" Keyword That Creates Random Cards - 5 New Cards

Edit: Ok, Manifest is literally Discover while Invoke was specifically Celestial cards. It was super confusing since the exemplar card included a Celestial pick as one of the Manifest options.

I'm actually completely confused as to what the difference …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #25 - Ladder Class Bans, Westfall Expansion, Battlegrounds Damage Cap

No one wants tradeable cards. I'm so tired of these games replicating IRL CCG scarcity into the gameplay experience. I don't care if I ever open a pack again. The game is most fun when you have the most cards …

Could Hearthstone See Class Bans on the Ladder? Hearthstone Developer, Dean Ayala, Says Its Possible

Directly messing with Standard ladder, even for a limited time, is a terrible idea. People have been asking for a tournament mode forever, and then I finally started playing Runeterra a couple weeks ago, and Gauntlets are exactly what Hearthstone …

New Beyond the Bandlewood Cards for August 12

I've been playing for the last 2+ weeks and taking a break from Hearthstone. There are things I love about the mechanics, but I still have a hard time judging cards. It seems like a strong early game wins the …
