Mike Donais on Tournament Mode & More
Icy Veins has a chance to sit down with Mike Donais at gamescom to discuss Tournament Mode, The Grand Tournament, and more. It looks like tournament mode could be the next big feature. The full interview has been recapped below.
Quote from Mike Donais
- Tournament Mode was going to come before Tavern Brawl, but they decided Brawls would be enjoyed more.
- TGT was a way to provide us with tools to answer our complaints with the current meta game.
- Joust isn't a keyword because it ended up still needing other words on the card. "It didn't make sense".
- There are no immediate plans for spectator mode improvements.
- The Adventure then Expansion model we've seen isn't set in stone. We could easily see two adventures or expansions in a row.
- They're still looking at the new player experience. Making sure newbies fight other newbies, and releasing powerful common cards helps.
- No work is being done on an option to disable animations.
this guy looks great in arena
Great in avenge paladin! :D
Seems to me Astral Communion should yield 2 Excess Mana at least if played when the player has 10 mana already. Wild Growth, a 2 mana card, grants 1 Excess Mana. Stands to reason a 4 mana card ought to yield 2 Excess Mana.
You'd gain ten excess mana, then discard your hand.
wait the 2 plus is permanent?
yes it is.
just like Dark Iron Dwarf was before they nerfed it
Yeah,if it weren't, why would this card exist?
they have made other pointless trash cards before.
That became useful at Tavern Brawls. If this card's buff didn't last, it couldn't be good in any fuc**ing way
i think it is very hard to predict how good cards are before we try the synergies. including this one
but one thing for sure, the more cards they release, the better warlock gets because this game is about draw. they game many options to heal and reset the board, and so it will be the killer class. Its a card game that has gotten too large. draw will determine the winner. Rush will always exist, but due to negative player experience, i feel that the new cards released are tailored to decrease ruch decks and promote control deck
time will tell
Tournament mode will be a nice edition plus an adventure in december
The brawls are fun indeed, but I still wait for a nice tournament mode to play with friends :-)
what about deck slots, that would be really nice to have more slots.... blizz please!
tbh, Blizzard is really rushing new expansions and/or features for Hearthstone, I mean I still haven't gotten enough cards from gvg, and they slap us with TGT although the rank rewards balance it out, I feel as if we (the more casual players) will be soon left in the dust.
You cannot simply stop releasing new expansions, because casual (which I am for example as well) don't have cards. I think the time which they giving to people is good enough.
But they are also adding many new reward systems. Ranked now gives rewards, Tavern Brawl gives easy packs, and I think that we'll have even more stuff, trust me
If only Flame Lance had something to do with the Joust mechanic.
I seriously don't know what they gonna announce at BlizzCon considering they also announced new WoW expansion in GamesCom
What's tournament mode about?
most likely it would be something like this:
pay 100-150g to get in
8 players get to play in top 8 bracket in bo5 3 deck conquest mode
top 2 players get rewards
