New Hearthstone Feedback Survey Details
A Hearthstone feedback survey went out this weekend, and like the other ones, we've gone through and picked out the interesting bits to share with you. Although this survey was for Hearthstone, there were not many Hearthstone specific questions on it. Most of the survey asked about your experiences with mobile games and your video game spending habits by platform.
The Hearthstone part of the survey didn't propose any new features for the game, but rather asked:
- How satisfied you were with the current features,
- If you saw yourself playing 6 months from now,
- How you spend your gold,
- And which gamemode you play the most.
Overall, not a super interesting survey, but Blizzard is definitely looking at their competition in the mobile games market.

Posted Aug 4, 2014 (Naxx Launch)What's this? No survey for SithCode? After all I've done for you Blizzard? It's because I bought the last wing with gold isn't it? I haven't even complained that you charged me twice for it :(
Whoo, wrap it up SithCode. No need to be getting misty under your hood.

Posted Aug 3, 2014 (Naxx Launch)Interesting way of marketing, very direct - they're probably only sending it to people who have money in their blizz account or have had previous purchases.
From the list of games, I only played : Plants vs Zombies 1 and FTL ( which is really really a great game and you should try it if you haven't ). Next on my list is Monument Valley, and I believe I'll stop there from their list.
