When K&C first hit, I was excited to play Deathstalker Rexxar with the new beasts, but they were not included. I then went here and participated in many of the forum threads just as many of you did. Finally Blizzard said that they would update Deathstalker Rexxar, but nothing happend for a long period of time.
I feel the subject have been forgotten so I write this thread in hope we can reignite the discussion. What are your thought on the subject - Did blizzard forgot about the update or are they potentially planning to update Deathstalker Rexxar when the next expansion hit?
I think they will either include it in the next patch expansion, or more likely in the unavoidable patch that will nerf some of the new cards. From what I understand (and I don't really understand much about programming) they made some dumb mistake when they were creating the card, and apparently adding new cards to it is a lot of work.
Now that you bring up Corridor creeper they could in theory include that in the build a beast selection. Think about it - you could build high cost minion that get reduced cost each time a minion is destroyed. Then again it would probably be too slow.
They said they would update it constantly. (Correct me if I am wrong.)
They haven’t. I hope they will make an update 1/year and always when the new Year arrives. In this way they do not have to add a little bunch here and there but only have to add a ton of beasts once every year.
I hope they add all Year of the Mammoth beasts when we enter Year of the Raven. Etc next year.
Instead of a hard-coded table, they should just create a separate query for "beasts pool" in the back end. The table is linked to the main database, filtered to cards with the "beast" tag and is automatically refreshed when a new expansion is rolled out. That way, they don't have to manually update the "Deathstalker Rexxar's beasts" table manually every time new beasts are added to the card pool.
I think it has something to do with the sorting. You need to seperate, beasts, that are 5th level or lower, into 2 catagories. 1 for beast without text or just keywords and another for beasts that have abilities. Some cards fall into both catagories and need to filtered.

Well, that's normal for Blizzard. They don't care much for the game as long as it's giving them money.
Just look at how quickly they nerf cards that were really dominating the meta, like Corridor Creeper.

Bad players whine.
Good players adapt.
