    I believe they only merge if you buy three Shifter Zeruses in the same round, before any of them change.

    seems that way, and they don't even combine when you get a triple off the shift either

    They do actually, if you play all 3 minions. Or when you already have 2 on board and you get 3rd off Zerus, when you play it, they combine. Didnt know that either until i had it happen to me.

    That would be cool, tho i doubt they will want to make such information public to players, it could heavily discourage some from playing, after seeing their abysmal W/L ratio :)

    First example of a new mechanic, and it is a pretty decent card in its own right. I wonder what other cards with the same keyword will be introduced. Viktor might have something to do with that for sure.

    Not really, "blood(y)" and "face" are pretty easy words to mix into a card name.

    You can always make a forum thread with whatever you have to say, nothing is stopping you! :) You could even use it to "test the waters" and "polish your writing" and maybe apply next time :)

    A year old article, reposted so ppl rise their awareness about this issue. Not calling you out or anything, just saying it is not a "leak" of something to come. Tho it could make its way to other regions in the future, who knows.

    Hi Synesthesy, if i was being completely honest, the game would have to catch my eye with either its art style/environment/characters or some kind of nice trailer. Pretty much as anything these days, you need to capture your audience for them to want to invest their time in your product and learn more. More so, if it is a project from an unknown creator. You can have the best game on the market, but if it is too tiresome to even learn about it, then many ppl will just dismiss it right away.

    For specifics, it would be nice to hear about where you got the inspiration, when did you get the idea and how long did it take you to actually start working on it and have something concrete that wouldnt be only in your head :)

    It would also be interesting to hear about your market research, coming up with an idea you think is cool can sound nice, but did you tailor that to cater to general card game community mindset with what is "expected" or did you go with something unconventional? How much of that effected the direction your game went?

    That is on purpose, obviously, and not only Blizzard does this. Hell, not only game companies do this.

    I noticed this after the new expansion, actually, after the pre-patch, when the new things like achievements and Reward Track got implemented. I am getting a LOT of disconnects. Hope they fix it soon, it is highly annoying.

    And not only that, sometimes i cannot join a game with a friend, or i see my entire friend list empty. I guess that one is a bit older maybe, i believe ppl had problems with this in the past, but hasnt happened to me before, now it does.

    I think your suggestions are countering each other: if new cards would be only carftable from a dust from new cards (apart from getting them from packs), ppl would dust "other new cards" to get the one(s) they want. Horrible scenario for multiple reaons. Not to mention that the reward system would have to be so generous, that ppl who didnt buy preorder would have to be able to get like half the collection during the first week, and even that would be too late for most ppl, if they werent able to craft specific cards (unless dusting other new cards). And if such a generous system existed, number of preorders would drop significantly. I get what ur trying to do here, but especially the "separate economy" for new sets is completely unrealistic.

    In Standard maybe, in Wild, Warlock has enough survival tools for days and Tickatus is a huge advantage against another slower deck.

    Feels like a lot of ppl kinda forgot for their card to actually make sense in Darkmoon Faire setting. Proper watermark for the keyword is good and all, but a lot of cards dont seem to have any ties to DMF at all. Small oversight?

    I think it was more that the rules were restrictive enough already that also finding Darkmoon Faire art for the specific tribe would have been ever tougher. I had my card summon a Pavilion Duelist partially to emphasize the DF connection since the art really doesn't. I think the cards that managed to add the flavor really benefit from it, but I don't blame anyone for just focusing on the mechanics of their card.

    Fair enough i guess :)

    Maybe I should make a new thread for this question, but are you planning on making big competitions (expansions/classes) like the ones which used to happen on HearthPwn? Of course I do not want to rush if you want to prepare for this as best as you can, maybe you would have to make them in a different format than the usual weekly competitions.

    We do plan to have bigger competitions, but we dont have a system for it in place yet. So, yeah.
