I recommend you bookmark this page if you only want to see Hearthstone stuff. It is accessible by the "HS" part of the navigation on the site, or if no game has been selected, using the game select dropdown and clicking on Hearthstone. That is our Hearthstone portal on the site. https://outof.cards/hearthstone/
Three months should always be remembered by Hearthstone players - the months expansions launch! Those are always April, August, and December. Every 4 months = an expansion.
I love the "lASOIA!@#!$FGDASGB!#&^SDG!)*$" aspect :D
Ehhh they weren't too bad. There have certainly been times in the part where hunter was crazy good to the point where it felt wrong, but the start of last year didn't feel like that, at least to me. Could be a case of Hunter being more overpowered before then so any big advantage they had early last year didn't seem to be a big deal.
I'd definitely like to see some more mill cards added to the game, but nothing to make it really shine as an archetype again.
A couple of cards could help punish players that have their hand constantly full, which can change up strategies for the better. It would be really interesting to see Hearthstone implement something like that in the upcoming 35 card mini-set with the Descent of Dragons adventure. It wouldn't have enough of an impact to be super meta-changing, but it at least makes people think and would be a cool tool in the overall arsenal.
I'll be honest, I don't ever check mobile stuff on Firefox since I assume it works much like the browser itself. Have you not updated your mobile Firefox in a while maybe?
A deploy is going out now that will enable ads on the site again.
These are all manually placed ads, nothing will be inside of comments. If you see ads, you'll see a unit in the header, the footer, and some sidebars. There will also be an ad above comment sections.
I'll continue to evaluate placement and such. No more should we have stuff showing up in bad places though, so that's great!
Sorry for the delay in responding here, the Christmas season has kept myself and others away for the most part.
I've gone ahead and disabled ads for now. We were using tech from Google called "auto ads" and we've reached the limit of how many areas of the site I'm able to blacklist and that didn't help ads not display in comments or inside of some posts. The way forward will be to manually add the ad units exactly where we do want them. It was an experiment and an easy way to get ads on the site which didn't really work out in the end.
I'm making it my target to get ads back on the site within 24 hours so we don't lose too much revenue. December is one of the best times of the year for ads since you can pretty easily earn double the income from them (yay higher advertiser budgets) so it would be a shame to miss out on it for too long.
Maybe. Maybe not. It definitely depends on the point of view.
People don't comment too much on decks right now, leading to the primary issue, so it would appear that showcasing the latest comments rather than the latest decks commented on, is a wasted opportunity to display more decks. Consider though, if one sees a lot of active discussion on the same deck, it can give you an idea that a hot, recent discussion is taking place on the deck and maybe you should check it out. This could, of course, be sort of solved if we displayed the deck's comment count on the discussion row.
I think there are better things we could do to help deck discoverability on the site and to encourage more people to comment on decks, providing greater turnover.
We have a thread open for this already, so this thread will be locked.

Bias is a funny thing.

Oh my. Well, that's a gaffe!
Made a correction in the article >.> thank you!
Happy New Year friends!
43 minutes to go here, looking forward to 2020!
Yeah, this year was insane for Hearthstone *stuff*. This took more hours than I'd like to admit to make happen thanks to how busy the year was :D
Word on the block is next year is going to be even more action-packed!
Check your spam folder! I had one show up there once, other than that, I've gotten them monthly.
Bookmark this instead for now.

Also, I really hope you're not including a Site News update for the holidays in that number.

This is very close to my favourite Priest deck I've been playing so I can't wait to take it a spin. GG Kibler!
Sludge Slurper is having its attack decreased to 1, from 2, in the December 19 Patch.
How do you feel about this change?
Once these changes are live, players will be able to disenchant the adjusted cards for their full Arcane Dust value for two weeks.
Faceless Corruptor is having its attack decreased to 4, from 5, in the December 19 Patch.

You say that like we've never done that before which isn't accurate :P
