Hi, on the homepage we have the countdown for the reveal of the new expansion. But when we click on "hearthstone" to filter only new hearthstone news this countdown disappears. That's weird since this is a hearthstone thing  !

Homepage:

Hearthstone filter:

Is there any way to filter out content we don't want to see on the landing/news page?  I mean this in the nicest way, but I don't have any interest in Yu-Gi-Oh at all, and would prefer not to see it.  I'd love if we were able to adjust settings so we can filter out the games we don't play.  Not sure if this is viable for you (both digitally from a back-end standpoint, or financially from a site sustainability standpoint)

I would like to be able to create neutral heroes

You can also add Drek'thar/Vanndar to the associated classes when selecting a hero

Hi team, did something about your video ads change this week? I know this is an important part of site revenue, but it's suddenly covering almost a third of the screen, and the X isn't always reachable. 

As of last week, my Android device showed one footer video per URL, now I have to close the thing up to 9 times per article! 

And I also understand the inclination to recommend a premium subscription, but at this particular moment that feels like rewarding user-unfriendly behavior. 

Hi, popping in despite not being a part of the community for years to quickly voice a suggestion which I'm sure has been made many times prior:

On pages for cards with additional non-visible information (e.g. Hero cards), it would be very desirable to have that additional information on the page. For the example given, a Hero card should show the new hero power alongside it, given that without that context it's impossible to actually 'look at' the card (if that makes sense).

I want to use Out of Cards as my resource for things like expansion information and reference, but when it's missing this context it's basically impossible to do so and I'm forced to use one of your competitors. In this case, being forced to use hstopdecks despite despising the site, simply because that information is all present.

I'm sure this would require manual coding rather than the automation which is presumably used to pull card information - but it would be worth it, in my view, to make the expansion guide function as intended.

Hi. I got one question: why does the Mercenaries -> Parties show me a list of decks, on the website?

Also, I don't seem able to complete the oozefest item of "visiting the mercenary parties list", even though i've accessed that section. Not sure if these 2 things are related or not.

Let me know if i'm doing something wrong. Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for all the early support on Mercenaries! I love looking at what kind of parties others have thought of. It would be nice if there was some way to either import or manually select which Mercenaries you own, so you can quickly see if you can build a certain party. Thank you in advance!

Since Hearthstone is seen as multi game mode platform now, would it be a good idea for the articles to have subcategory labels for each of the game modes on the HS frontpage? Should be helpful for easier filtering out of content especially for users who are not interested in all of the game modes.

I know Mercenaries is still a few weeks away, but there are already a couple of threads in General.

When does it get its own section in Game Modes?

The Hearthstone card backs section of the site hasn't been updated since May of this year. I don't mean to be pushy, but I'd like the images of the missing card backs for the wiki, and I'm not sure where else I can get them (other than making ugly cropped screenshots, which I really don't want to resort to).

I've noticed that some non-article things are shown on the main page, but not on the game specific sub-page. The Stormwind Launch Countdown aswell as the "81 Card revealed" and "Dreamhack Beyond" Banners are some current examples of this.

I would appreciate it if you could also add these und future things to the /hearthstone page since that's the page I actually bookmarked.

Hello everyone, I’m back with something that’s not a concept, but more of a request of a feature that could be used to possibly run a community driven tournament that takes place between the users here on outof.cards.

So before I get way ahead of myself here let’s back it up a bit. A few years ago Tempo Storm created a tool called the Sealed Deck Generator. What it does (well, did since it hasn’t been updated since Ashes of Outland) is gives you a number of packs from various sets to “open” and build decks with. No disenchanting or crafting, what you got is what you had to work with. It was simple to use and kind of fun just to see what you would get from this tool.

Now since Tempo Storm hasn’t updated it in over a year I think it would be pretty sweet if another fan site made a similar tool and kept it updated cough. Then that site could hold community tournaments with decks that were made using that tool.

I'm a bit hestitant to admit it, but I'm a filthy netdecker (and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one). Even if I'm repeating myself, outof.cards is the most awesome Hearthstone page on the web for me. Still, there are two things that are closely related to each other which I have to look for on other pages. So here are my suggestions how you could at least partially avoid that if you wanted to:

1) Top decks

Not sure how the algorythms work, but right now the "hot" and the "top" decks are showing almost the same results. You have that cooperation with HSReplay running, so why not use it some more? I suggest keeping the "hot" section as it is (I guess it's based on views, comments and upvotes?) and displaying the lists with the highest win rates from HSReplay in "top", updated daily at midnight or some such. Sometimes people are just looking for the best decks to grind the ladder with and right now, it's quite difficult to find them if there doesn't happen to be a post like this on the frontpage. It goes without saying that keeping the filters as they are would be vital if that is possible.

2) Meta Reports

This might be a little insolent, but I'd really appreciate it if there was a section where you point us to meta reports. Everybody has their favorites but I think we can agree about the top 3 or something. You could either post a short news article whenever a new one comes out or silently update a site where they are all displayed with a link to their respective external site. I know this would be pretty much advertizing third party content but since OOC understandably can't provide such reports themselves, why not make things for users a bit easier? While we're at it, a collection of podcasts would be pretty awesome, too.

I hope you don't get these ideas the wrong way. It's just that OOC is my platform of choice for everything social about Hearthstone right now, but if I want to be competitive, I have to look elsewhere most of the time. Maybe you are fine with that, but if you want to cater to a bigger audience, the two points above might be places to start.

When browsing cards in the Hearthstone card gallery, if you are on a page with one class icon clicked (so you are only seeing cards from one class), and you perform another search where you deselect the class icon, your new search will still only show you cards from the previous class you selected. Interestingly this only happens when using the Hearthstone card gallery, selecting the equivalent icons for the other card game galleries works normally. Thank you for looking into this!

Why under the own comments there is a report button?

I wanted to request a feature for filtering battle ground minions- instead of "Add a filter" and then choosing a tribe, maybe there should be an option to filter several tribes at once, maybe by excluding 2 to three tribes.

I understand that the video ad is important for the site's revenue.

Even though having it pop up over and over on every new page is extremely annoying, I would be willing to ignore that if it was not so damn hard to close it on a phone. As it is now, every time I accidentally return to the main page, there's a little voice in my head telling me to never visit this site again.

Please, just increase the size of the X.

Hey Flux and awesome OOC crew, I had an idea for a longer time and so I though it might be worth asking. We have up and down voting for posts, if we like/dislike the comments, and so I thought, maybe we could have some sort of "reputation" points for members too, as I´ve seen on some other forums. What if I like a member and want to appreciate his opinions/attitude/helpfulness, other than upvoting all of his comments? Maybe there could be some + reputation button (not - ofc, cause it could backfire badly) next to members avatars? You couldn´t vote twice for the same member, it could be anonymous (so people don´t feel forced to pay it back) and maybe it could be helpful in threads like trading a friend quests - you can upvote trusty member who traded with you, or you can check his reputation before trading, to know he is least likely to scam you, if he gained some reputation points.

Anyway, just an idea, what do you guys think? :)

Hi,

I was part of the Zalae thread recently and probably didnt help the conversation thread since I was going back and forth with someone I didnt agree with. This was yesterday and I see now that the thread's comments are now hidden. However, Im unable to see the comment replies I got - 1 being Flux himself. 

I agree regarding the thread being made hidden from comments. I dont agree that if we got a response, we can no longer see it at all. 

What I would like to see is maybe the full comment if you hover over the link of the thread title under Site Notifications. This would bypass rare situations where a thread is locked but also would allow us to avoid having to click and reload the thread.

Bonus - I would love to know what Flux replied back to me with. I care less about the other person that replied. 

Thanks and sorry.

Hi, I think such panel should on top of the front page for easy access. thank you and keep up the good work ;)
