There's an event coming up we're going to be rewarding people a special title and achievement, and it's going to be a bit of fun imo.
Good to hear. Btw I just completed some hidden achievements, but I noticed that their requirement is still hidden. I assume, that this is only temporary and in the future people would be able to read the text of obtained mistery achievements, right?
Yeah, there's a few things not being displayed on achievements atm that will be in the future.
[edit] Flux, I don't know if you are reading this, but is the "feats of strength" category implemented yet? You said in a thread that people, who were registered during the hearthstation era, would get an achievement as well.
It is indeed implemented :D
Achievements are currently processing for those who created accounts during HearthStation, if you don't have your achievement yet, it'll arrive soon. It gives you the following rewards:
Title: HearthStationeer
Title: Derpcorn
Profile Header (NYI): Derpcorn
It is being given to everyone who created an account before April 10, 2019, the date after HearthStation closed, so if you registered after that, sorry guys =(
I do plan on having more limited time events on the site which will reward Feats of Strength (no achievement points). They're a great way to see who was around during what eras. It won't be just based on account date but rather participation in events... which...

FWIW Quote bbcode can be used and you can use the following attributes:
from=""
href=""
class=""
From will change "No Author Specified" into the correct person you're quoting.
Href is used for a link which will link the author's name.
Class can be set to "blizzard" for special blizzard theme if you're quoting a blizzard poster. It is the same one we use in news articles.
I'd like to get a multiquote setup implemented, but it is not very high on the priority list right now. Adding a button to the editor for quote blocks though would be a very easy, and welcome addition.
There could definitely be some use for people interested in helping out with art stuff. Little bit of extra pizzazz never hurt anyone =)
Shoot me a message on Discord (Fluxflashor#0001), I'd love to see what kind of art you do and if we could find a place for it here. Though due to card reveals and really weird sleeping schedules, I'm sorry if I don't respond right away.
If you think you have the skill set to pump out some great content people will enjoy, even if it isn't always consistent, we may still have room! There have been a lot of applications so far, it's likely we'll be okay bringing on a few people with less than perfect schedules that just want to help out since we'll have plenty of weekly contributors as well. =D
Seriously though, thanks everyone for the interest so far!
There were no datamined details for a Frost Festival this time around. It is possible they could always just reuse stuff from the year before, but yeah, they never made an announcement about the event and they've been very good at announcing events in recent times.
That issue I was having with items on the navbar wrapping to two lines is back again since you added the bell. I suppose if you don't want to just increase the width, you could chop long usernames, and replace the end with an ellipsis.
Damn, you're one character too long. Guess we'll have to rename you.
I'll find a fix for it, I'm sorry for not checking with your name exactly. It'll all be so much better once we get the site name out of the nav, giving us some extra space.
Was not intentional that they got sorted by new first - direct messages should be oldest->newest like forums.
One thing though that is different about direct messages compared to other types of content is that we'll always display the original post at the top of pages of replies, as a reminder to the subject of the message, so that part won't change - at least not yet.
Will have a deploy out before next reveal to fix that issue (ETA <15mins).
Edit: I lied, we're gonna deploy AFTER the card reveal.
Developer Note: Sorry this took so long! Next comment update will let you choose how you want to sort them. No ETA.
Notifications can now be accessed via the navigation.
Developer Note: This is an initial implementation for notifications. We don't currently let you choose stuff you can subscribe to, that's a future thing.
You'll get notifications when someone responds to something you've created. Deck authors, expect a notification for every deck comment!
People replying or quoting you will trigger a notification.
You'll also get notifications for achievements earned. Don't worry about these for right now =)
We'll eventually let you see the latest 3-5 notifications via a dropdown on any page, for easy access.
Changes
Expansion pages now display 2 cards per line for most mobile devices. Save those fingers!
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where the navigation would fail to load correctly on some pages.
Fixed an issue where comments were causing issues loading some pages due to a bad deploy.
Fixed an issue preventing comment jumping from going to the correct comment.
Notifications are almost there. We've got a few things to tweak with them and we'll let you have access to them. Achievements are backlogged a bit further -- card reveals have been disturbing development zen.
We did just discover an issue with javascript breaking on certain pages due to comment quotes and a fix for that will be arriving soon. That may have been the culprit for votes as well though I do know voting sometimes gets funky after you've replied to or quoted a post - a proper fix requiring a bit of a js rewrite for our voting stuff.
If you do encounter any issues with voting, or any interactivity. Make note of the page it failed to work on and check your developer console (F12) to see if there are any errors. Try refreshing the page and seeing if the error still occurs. Let us know how things go after that, making note of any specific errors greatly helping us track down issues.
Simply put, we don't have elements of the site designed with the "official" images in mind without resizing them - an extra step in the process, plus, we're just going to generate them all via the client anyway when the patch drops so as long as our placeholder images are "great enough", we're happy. Though I do know we're missing set icons on our currently generated cards, it is being looked into so we're fixed for the new set.
Knowing their plans with the card gallery though, it's likely we switch over to it for the next reveal period and I've already made some progression with it during the late night card reveals where you get 50 minutes between cards to work on stuff. With that said, they're not always on time with updating it though so Hearthcards is always going to be the go to until we have our own manual card rendering system in place.

There's a lot of ways to determine if someone has multiple accounts. It isn't something I'll ever speak publicly about.
Just know that if you are being legit, you'll be fine.

Could not agree more! Love our Blizzard friends :D

Nothing has been made official about the adventure yet. Expect the same pricing as Dalaran Heist imo.
Keywords over expansions also sounds like something fun to automate.

As someone who loves mage..

Comments now sort by new! We'll provide options in the future to change sorting.

Yeah it was pretty unfortunate. But hey, I'm here to wait for cards for you guys so you don't have to. =)
