On the subject of alternate art, I hope they make it an option so people who prefer to only see the original stuff could do so. I also suspect alternate art would have to be an option on mobile, to keep the download size smaller for people who don't have the storage available.

We're going full MTG! Hearthstone can definitely use some variance. I just hope this is more of a global thing and not just select cards getting special treatment. Building a whole deck with a special type of vanity would be sick.

Though, I'd love to see special class frames on the field with upgraded frames in-hand and collection. Something that makes each one of them really pop. I could see a frost mage frame that could be applied to all mage cards. So much flavor potential!

Scratch that. CDATA didn't want to play well and I learned about the MediaRSS extension so our images can now have <image> and <media:thumbnail> tags.

I also contacted Inoreader to ask them about what they look for on feeds to make sure they're supported.

Hey choinul,

Sorry, this got missed in all the card reveal and expansion launch craze!

The individual game feeds appear to have the same formatting as the ones within the main feed. I signed up for Iinoreader to take a look at the app (been a while since I've used a dedicated feed manager, feelsgoodman) and I can confirm the issue. As I said though, these feeds are constructed the same way so this is an oddity that I suspect is on their end in some way.

It is possible their scraper was blocked from requesting the URLs to obtain that data. We've since relaxed restrictions a bit more to help legitimate uses of web scraping to work on the site, so maybe in time they'd appear.

I'm going to add a CDATA tag to the RSS feed which should hopefully give them, and other readers, that data. It'll go out on our next deploy.

I believe it is left out for clarity. I found that a little odd as well though, but they do specifically mention that the paid pass has those extra rewards.

It's also a little odd that it is only 17 packs for the latest expansion and not 18. I expected it to be doubled up.

You are, unfortunately, correct in your understanding.

This is exactly what this survey is for though - getting feedback. By getting this topic out into the open, the community can use the data to have a conversation with Blizzard instead of relying on the random chance that they get to participate via email.

I am curious if the pass will end up being better for players that are more on the casual F2P side. It's possible they will see an increase in earnings and Blizzard is instead trying to get the hardcore dedicated F2P players pony up for the paid pass, doubling the rewards for playing. It'll always come down to price though. If this is a $5 upgrade, it's incredibly smart, though it does suck in a way since it would have been free before.

So much unknown!

F2P players won't be able to progress past level 100 unless there are additional 1-time large bonuses of experience you can earn in an expansion cycle (legendary quests maybe?) =(

I love and hate them.

I love them because when there's a game I really enjoy playing, it feels great to get rewards and I don't mind putting 20 bucks into the pot in a free to play title for a large variety of rewards.

I hate them because if I want to play 4 different games with 4 different battle passes all going on at the same time, depending on how they are structured, I feel like I'm just playing specific ways to get the passes done to move onto the next game instead of just enjoying the game. The fear of missing out on rewards is real and it sucks.

I'm more towards the love side though. Its rare for me to be playing more than a couple of games at once so it kinda works out. Hearthstone's version which is just playing the game also makes it really easy to progress. Fornite or PUBG have different silly things you gotta do in the game, making it more of a challenge. MTG Arena is much like the Hearthstone pass where you just need to play and finish your dailies... which reminds me... I haven't done any this week yet RIP.

Hey SLima,

You need to go to the Plugins button on the navigation bar in HDT to login.

There you will find an option to login.

Hey all

Deploy is going out that fixes a frontend collection sync issue where your collection would be updated on the site but we wouldn't store a fresh copy of it in your browser. Once that is out, you should no longer see red stars on cards you clearly own.

Done

Why would you want to use that trash? Hearthstone Deck Tracker has always been superior to Innkeeper.

This was entertaining when it could be pulled off, but Paladin, Druid, and Shaman were giving me a rough time. More control options could be useful, though I jumped ship to the dark light side to play around with Libram/Pure Paladin =/ Join 'em before they get nerfed!

Huge props to Shadows for scheduling all this madness. Also huge thanks to our awesome team for not only reviewing all the cards in a timely manner between the last stream and when our reviews began, but also keeping things organized. Things were a lot crazier with the dual-class cards this time around as it left us with little room to space stuff out better.

The Adventurer package for the guaranteed coin may make the list better, but finding the exact slots to sub out for that is tough. Going to require some experimentation and adaptions to what the meta is doing, but I'm hoping we've got some fun spell nonsense that is here to stay

Oh no, I never considered that Avalon might want them. RIP Shoes

I've been on their list for years. Shoe size, shirt size have all come up at one point, though it is a bit weird when someone asks your shoe size lol

That would certainly be rad! Thanks for the kind words <3

Unfortunately, no =(

You'd have better luck finding a shoe artist to commission a similar design.

That was a laugh :P
