Community Spotlight: City Cards
This is a fan creation and is not official cards which are coming into the game. Just for fun!
We're already seeing some great new threads in the Fan Creations forum we put up this week! RevutionaryArtillery has created some unique card concepts that revolve around various cities in Warcraft. Cities are cards which have no attack value and have a unique card interactions. What do you think?
New Patching Method
You may have noticed a download today when you started up your Hearthstone client and got into the game. This added the January Card Back to the client.
Quote from ZeriyahSome of you might have noticed a new “downloading files” notification for Hearthstone.
We wanted to let you know that this update was applied as part of a test we performed for a new, more agile method of patching. The downloaded files themselves made no alterations to Hearthstone gameplay.
We’ll always do our best to make sure you know about important changes to Hearthstone in advance. We’ll see you at the Inn!
Missing Friends Issue
If your friends list appears blank in-game, you're not the only one. If you do have this problem, you respond to the thread on the official forums.
Quote from RolkyrWe are currently looking into an issue where players are having their friends list appear blank. If you are currently experiencing this issue, please post below to let us know. As well, please do not attempt any "fixes" for resolving the issue. This will help us in further investigating the matter and coming up with a resolution. Thanks!
Do you guys have any friends that appear blank or show as "retrieving details/info” in any other games?
I like this city theme. Makes me reminisce on Legend of the Five Rings stronghold.
All these city cards are super overpowered.
What if the cities can't be silenced, can't be buffed, can't be stealthed, can't be transformed, and can't be stolen, and they are even more powerful but take up 2 minion spaces on the board, so it's a new type of card altogether?
THAT would be cool.
Silence kills this game...
Fantastic card ideas. It's what is desperately needed for the next expansion additions. By that I mean New rules, as in new key words such as "City" or "Enhancement"(mtg) and what not. Honestly I don't know what we would get from a new expansion adding more or less of what already exists, just like GvG did, if you look at it now retrospect and with an open mind.
Well in short; we don't need more cards per say, we need more rules and keywords. So those cards would be a step in the right way.
The cities are very good idea but Gilneas is so weak compared to the other two. Worgens deserve better :v
Freeze a character, get an ice lance
Man if that card was real, ohhhh man
The cities are a really neat concept. Not sure how good/bad they would be in play, but the idea is very cool.
Agreed. I hadn't even considered something like them.
That fan creating forum is really taking off.
I'd love cards like the cities, only if they cost less mana. More cards like doomsayer make the game interesting and more than just "oh well my 2/3 eats your 2/2 now" type interractions.
Things like imp master, patient assassin, doomsayer, ancient watcher are all really weird build-around guys. I like that and cities are a similarly cool idea.
Sadly there's cards like kodo, crazed alchemist, cabal shadow priest (lol) and the "flip a minion's attack and health" spare parts that just blow these city cards out really really bad...
