For this year's Hallow's End celebration, Hearthstone's Team 5 didn't just give Arena the usual Dual-Class draft event, but also the set rotation saw some major changes aimed at reenacting the old school memories; unfortunately, not everything seems to be working as intended.
Hallow's End 2022 feels pretty special due to the introduction of the brand new Event System for Hearthstone. It definitely beats the old method of progressive Legendary Quest Chains. The current celebration will only stick around for two weeks, and we are already curious to see what the future might bring!
Around the time of the new Mini-Set's announcement, we also saw a brief development update posted on behalf of the Hearthstone Mercenaries team. It might've become initially overshadowed by all of the flashy card reveals, but it's still worth a closer look - excess coins solutions, end-game content, and more now on the horizon for the game mode!
Yet another Hearthstone hotfix patch has seen its deployment lately (server-side, so there weren't any download prompts), bringing us the return of previously removed Battegrounds Heroes as well as Armor and Quest-related adjustments. There is also crucial Arena Balance and some bug fixes to talk about!
Once the huge Hearthstone Battlegrounds patch arrived a few days ago, developers from Team 5 did not waste time gathering their own data and acting upon players' feedback. As a result of this, we have got a small server-side hotfix patch on the way to introduce some updates to the Quests mechanic, and bring other adjustments!
So there was a little bit of a kerfuffle today, when, instead of sending out the expected hotfix to deal with ongoing issues, Blizzard set the wrong patch to go live, and we got a brief glimpse of the future.
Unsurprisingly, we are not going to see any Constructed Hearthstone balance changes taking place this week. Even though we've pretty much known that based on earlier communication from Team 5, some players still wanted to know for certain before the upcoming Masters Tour.
Here's a summary of the Q&A that Hearthstone Game Designer Cora "Songbird" Georgiou decided to hold following the announcement of Murder at Castle Nathria as the new Hearthstone expansion.
The latest Hearthstone patch has brought us an extensive list of balance changes for 3 major game modes: Constructed, Battlegrounds, & Mercenaries. Following that, several members of Team 5 have shared various developer insights on the present and the future. We put them all together!
The most recent Hearthstone balance patch is quite a huge deal, given the amount of buffed cards alone. In the wake of its release, Blizzard's Team 5 game designer Edward "Gallon" Goodwin took to Twitter to share further insights on all of the changes.
