How about combining news items for fewer posts?

First off, I just want to say Out of Cards is my one and only source for all things Hearthstone ... you guys are killing it!

Occasionally we have a big news day, and I am confronted by numerous articles on the various topics of the day. On these (admittedly rare) occasions, I feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of articles, and wish there were just one big post with "Here's everything Blizzard announced today" or something. As sort of an example, today there was a post about Dean Ayala saying there would not be new classes any time soon, then another about the full Q&A containing that info and more. Why not just do one article?

Respectfully submitted,

Pezman

  • Sorry Pezman, this is being done specifically so we can target a broader audience and to get more targetted discussion on each of the different subjects. Believe me, I'd love to just have a single post up covering everything that happens but the reality of the content game on the web these days doesn't make that a smart move. Headlines are tailored to getting picked up on the various platforms and algorithms which is less possible when we mash everything together.

    Luckily, as you said, it isn't too often that we have to go crazy splitting stuff up. For the very large content drops though, I do think we could do a better job at following everything up with a singular recap more often. Splitting stuff into 2-3, maybe even 4 articles wouldn't really warrant it, but you can be on us doing a large recap for BlizzConline and then whenever we get information about the new year, which will almost without a doubt be chunked into at least half a done headlines.

    Thanks for the love and feedback!

  • How dare you reject my suggestion? Eat snow, punk!     (pelts Flux with several snowballs)

    But for real, everything you said makes sense. The fact that you consider different ways to do it and choose what makes the most sense just speaks to the high quality of content on this site.
