Design Insights with Ben Brode - The Dark Side of Releasing New Content

The PlayHearthstone Youtube channel uploaded a video of Ben Brode which addresses community feedback on recent content releases and how they affect new and current players. You can check out the video, and a recap of it, below.

Ben has also stated that he wishes to do more of these types of videos in the future, so stay tuned.

Quote from Ben Brode

  • They're aware that you need to collect a lot more cards nowadays and that it can be daunting to new players.
  • A commitment to players to keep things fresh and exciting which means making more powerful cards to change up the meta.
  • More powerful cards doesn't mean every expansion is going to have inflated numbers for reduced mana costs.
  • New cards that creep upon old ones can be created when the old ones never saw play, and that's ok.
  • Long term game health is very important, they want to see Hearthstone going on forever.
  • They're still looking for ways to fix these problems, and community feedback is important.
