Are the titles going to be based on hearthstone cards again (just like most of them are in hearthpwn)? If so, may we have titles of some cards before they underwent a name change? I had Mistress of Pain back in the days and I would like to use it again.
None of the title rewards for post count are finalized yet, but I don't see why we couldn't throwback to some old names =)
That's our next big thing we're going to get out. Don't have an ETA on it though it has been discussed a thousand times and we think we've got most of it figured out. Ideally we're ready with it before the next set comes out, but I'm not able to promise it just yet.
Nice, I’m really looking forward to it :))) will we get an achievement for joining during the hearthstation era? I think you mentioned something at the time...
Oh and thanks for getting the messages online! I’m already having a cool conversation in my message box without troubling the whole community with it. The site’s getting better and better
Yup, that's going to be categorized as a Feat of Strength and as such won't reward any points, but it will give you a title reward =
Achievements are "live" right now but we haven't made them accessible, the count was an error I didn't mean to show up on profiles. The goal was to have them out by the end of last week, along with notifications, but we're still adding in achievements and finishing up notifications.
They should go live this week though and we'll calculate a bunch of the achievements going backwards too. Your achievement points may reset from what they currently are as we make updates to the system and need to clear out everyone's earnings (temporarily). I cannot wait to get these out for everyone!
We also have a new navigation coming as well that works wonderfully on mobile.
Agreed. These past few months have been the best Hearthstone experience I have ever had, and its not just with the game. Blizzard finally got their stuff together!
Held of on main paging it until I knew for certain it was going to be 4 full card reveals as the wording had some interpretation to it. Confirmed though, it's four full reveals, so it's likely to be all the explorers. That's gonna be one hell of a panel!
Are there going to be under-achievements as well? For example, there was that one post about the Ragnaros card back where Almaniarra got like a billion downvotes. So are they going to get some cool devil horns on their avatar or something? If so, I'm going to stop being so nice so I can get devil horns too.
Achievements will never promote negative behaviour =
Well that's certainly a huge increase compared to before!
I really still don't know how I feel about battle passes in card games. It's certainly a cool way to incentivize people to login while spending money since it is just too good of a deal, but I don't know, I feel like it can contribute to more burnout. I burned out of Apex Legends before I finished my battlepass and felt bad I was 20 levels away so I bought them. Now I'm not even playing season 2 because I feel like I'll be missing out if I don't buy the pass but I don't have the time to complete it. I'm in a similar boat with Magic where I'm playing much more Hearthstone atm so the pass almost doesn't make sense, maybe.
Regardless, good on them for actually hearing the community.
We've got achievements done and they'll be coming out this week. Notifications are up next so expect them real soon! I know how important they are to help direct people to active discussions and content, I regret not launching the site with them.
Notifications definitely are important and I am behind this 100%....but can we please not have achievements?
It's probably too late to ask at this point, but honestly it detracts from being in a community. The only people who find the need for achievements are the same people who derive personal value from their XBOX Live gamerscore. I mean to be perfectly honest, they weren't even achievements in the full sense of the word. Hell, beating Gears of War 3 on hard actually has more merit to it then "create a deck with Deathwing in it".
I have to disagree with you though I applaud the courage to stand up for what you believe in.
Achievements encourage interaction on the website which helps bolster the community more than anything. I've personally witnessed what they can do for a website and the love our community members have for them which is why they were a top priority. I think it is important that we can showcase how active someone has been on a site in a way that isn't just post count, even if some of the achievements are silly.
Ultimately it is a system designed for fun and if it isn't something you're interested in, you aren't required to participate - much like how we don't force people to click on fan creations content on the homepage. I think people who loved achievements before will really like what we've done with them here.
Its more so that they always saw wild as a way to play old decks and being always able to play them. If changing Barnes meant the archetype completely died off, that's a negative for their wild philosophy.
I don't agree with it for record's sake. People have been having problems with the card since it existed in Standard. It was a poor choice of a print.

I view the same thing as the OP , only seeing the 3 white bar on a PC ... BUT it is because i was zoom in a lot (i am an old man with need of glasses !! :-P) so when i zoomed out i saw the regular menu.
Hope this help
Seeing the white bars on PC will happen if you are zoomed in or have your display resolution set low.
You should have access to the forums though via the dropdown "hamburger" menu even on desktop. I'm able to see it and use it just fine here, though it sounds like something might be going wonky for some so I'd love to get to the bottom of it.
If you aren't able to get to the forums from the "hamburger" menu, are you able to show us what you see via a screenshot? Can be uploaded to a site like https://imgur.com
I really love this idea! One problem though is this would only work on PC, as mobile users would have so much screen clutter as it is, a pet would be hard to see as well. Their pet would have to be viewable outside of games, or something you swipe to see.
MY cosmetic idea is voice lines. You earn aditional voice lines and you can remove some and slide new ones in for every hero. This way we can bring back "oops" voice lines, and add some new ones. I like having conversations with other players only using the voice lines on the Hero's. We better becareful because Blizz is gonna steal these ideas and put them in loot boxes!!!
They should build the cosmetics into card packs, that way they can be themed for expansions and even give game veterans a reason to enjoy classic packs again. Every pack unlocks a sixth "card" which would be your cosmetic. If you already have it, enjoy some arcane dust instead. Cosmetics all craftable (or most at least) with arcane dust.
Would you mind providing a screenshot of the home page you see?
I've tried opening the site in Firefox but I just get the regular homepage, which includes a link to the forums.
I just want to make sure this is highlighted. Screenshots are incredibly vital here, and in most bug reports where functionality is not working as intended. If we can get some screenshots, we'll be able to help

But yeah, we don't have a dedicated thread to discuss it, but this is a good one!
Assuming you're talking about collections.

I too am a wild advocate but don't play it myself. I love what the format is, I just want to play with the new toys 99% of the time

Yeah seriously. The free packs alone was gonna do well, this is gonna bump it up to top on twitch ez

Hey thanks for pointing that out - it looks like I was missing Alec on my tracker. I've since added him and updated the post.
Its more so that they always saw wild as a way to play old decks and being always able to play them. If changing Barnes meant the archetype completely died off, that's a negative for their wild philosophy.

Thanks so much!
