nah, they have a "Deep Dive" panel each year.

I'm not a Diablo players, but Immortal doesn't look like a sequel to me.

New Projects like Diablo immortal, Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4?

I really didn't expect an announcement this big before Blizzconline. Some thoughts:

I mean there is still plenty of stuff left of Blizzconline. We are still getting an Expansion and most likely gamemode (Not the classic mode) announcement.

because they want to keep the current UI

• Why 27 deck slots? That seems like a strange number.
  • We’re keeping the same familiar deck selection UI but adding one more page of 9 slots.

Is anyone reading the FaQ?

It is always interesting to read about those scrapped ideas.

I was never a fan of token druid. I neither enjoy playing it nor playing against it. It all comes down to:

1. flood the board

2. if the opponent killed your board, repeat step 1

3. buff the board and instantly win the game

It's probably more complicated than I made it out to be, but I just find that playstyle incredibly boring with little decisions to make.

That one was not about the portrait itself, but rather about the tech behind it. They have to modify the collection to allow players to craft the portrait, which could be difficult since the collection Manager was never made for crafting portraits.They have to find solutions to questions like:

Can you DE skins? And if yes, where do you put the DE button, because the flavor text and "set favorite" part already takes a large part of the UI. It also raises the question how you differentiate craftable and uncraftable Portraits in the collection and if it's okay to keep the current View with only 6 heroes at a time if you plan to add more skins even more frequently.

The problems are definetely not just tied to "how to implement an png".

We actually had an Caverns of time event called "Taverns of time" in 2018. But I guess it's okay to revisit that theme 3 years later.

No gamemode got a dedicated Hearthside chat so far, that's why I wrote "100% animated"

Neither the Battleground nor the Duels mode got its own Hearthside chat. Plus hearthside chats always have the same logfire background. So in both cases it seems unlikely that the second image is for the new Gamemode.

I don't think so, the Trailers for Battlegrounds and Duels were 100% animated while this one isn't.

If the rumor is about a remake, then it can't be just a Hd filter, since that's the defintion of an remaster.

I'd say they are going to reveal the whole year of X package at Blizzconline. The Blizzcon exists to reach a much wider audience, so it only makes sense that they are going to announce everything "flashy"(modes/reworks/expansions) to attract new/returning players.

You also have to keep in mind that DMF released 1 Month earlier than usual, which means that  they could announce [April expansion name] and release it in March to keep the usual expansion circle while also reaching the biggest possible audience.

massively complicated? You play games you get XP, you do quests you get XP, you get rewards after you have x XP. How is this complicated?

Quote From frenzy

You need all the latest cards to unlock the hero powers and treasures.

You need all wild cards to build a competitive deck.

You still have to pay 150 gold to enter heroic mode.

1. No HP/Treasure requires you to have every single card from an Expansion, and while the last one is indeed really hard to get, it's by far not the best one.

2. I'm sorry but what? The current rotation only includes 3 wild expansions and it's definetely not necessary to have a single legendary or even epic from those sets to get to the 12 wins. Plus the deck only contains 15 different cards from which 2-4 are usually wild. Source:me

3. I mean, what else did you expect? No other mode gives you directly packs/gold for free just for winning a few games. Besides that there is still the free option for players who don't want to invest gold or money(seriously, did aynone ever spend money on arena tries?). I really don't think the heroic version is a problem at all.

The unlock recuirements are of course still a problem, but not because they drastically disturb the balance, but rather because People get scared of it. They may be thinking "Why should I play this mode if I don't have every HP/Treasure? I'm just going to be stomped by people who have unlocked them" without even thinking if these unlocks are even good. The same goes for the wild sets in the collection. I'm not saying that the mode is great for F2P players, but it's definetely not impossible for an F2P player to have fun/succes in the mode.

Another problem I have is the variaty. And as stupid as it sounds from a F2P econamy perspective, I still think the mode needs more Sets in its rotation. It just feels like the HP/Treasures are not enough to enable multiple strong strategies for a class. I've recently wanted to try out an buff priest with the new HP, only to find out that there are not enough buff spells in the rotation for example.

Quote From Haussenfuss

Blizzard has posted that they are aware of the issue, and will revert the art in an upcoming patch.

A few years ago, hearthpwn posted an article on assets which are permanently "hidden" in the client - back then, there were a bunch of place-holder cards and phantom art pieces in the game. My guess is that Town Cryer had its art changed at some point, and the old iteration was never removed from the game - something in today's patch caused the old art to pop back on the card. It's kind of ugly - maybe that's why they changed it?

No need to guess it, they confirmed that the art was supposed to be part of the book of heroes

"Probably a re-skin for book of heroes, right?

"Correct"

They have new voicelines, you can already right click them in the gallary. I also think that new voicelines|no new animations will be the norm for reused characters, that's atleast how Blizzard handled them recently.

So this is what they meant when they said that they are working on more skins than ever. I can totally see more of these skins for the other events. People just have to keep in mind that reusing characters means that they are also reusing the animations, but that is fine with me.

I don't even user Twitter myself, I copied the full answers from this article...
