Hearthpwn

HS as a game always played fast and loose with its Warcraft lore and characters, and with each new expansion we got new original characters, more and more.

As of The Boomsday Project, do you know how many legendary minions actually come from Warcraft?

ZERO.

For the rather sad sake of variety, let's go ahead and lump the new Dr. Boom hero card in there.  That's a grand total of ONE.

Anyone here remember those ancient days (sometime right after the fall of the Berlin wall if I recall...) when this game was called Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft?  When the entire selling point of it was that it was a digital card game featuring various Warcraft characters and heroes in a sillier setting?

How about this:  Anyone here miss the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game?  And not just because of the balance issues?  At least that one stayed true to its roots and adhered to its whole selling point...

I member, and no.

Do I care in any way shape or form? No.

I'm sure there are some Warcraft lore characters that we'll see in the future, especially if the theme relates back to a dungeon or some other well known place in the lore.  But yeah, for the "fun" and "silly" expansion like this one I'm sure they don't have a lot of desire to include lore legendary characters.  It would almost be a waste.

I do miss the relation to warcraft and say that that‘s why I stopped playing it (besides the massive rng and the expensive way to collect a whole set or to get back again and missing hundreds of cards to build a decent deck + the variety if you want to (almost) play f2p with playing different decks and cards. I‘m just tuning in from time to time on websites or streams to see if something changed lol

Someone didn't play World of Warcraft enough, it seems.

And yes, one is still a small number but... Come on, let them have a pause. They want to try out new things, create new characters that are STILL inspired by the WoW lore and races. I bet they'll simply go back to have more in future expansions. 

Agree. I'd love to have HS back to WoW lore. I like that they wanted to explore new pathways like ungoro, frozen throne, etc...but this is too far away. If they follow this road, next expansion might be "Chromie's holidays at the sea"...

I am not a lore fanatic, but I think lore/backgroud has a strong value in a game. This has nothing to do with balance/gameplay, however.

Last exp we got Tess, Genn, Godfrey, etc.

Besides, which legendary minion from wow would you expect in Boom labs?

 I don't know, some kind of mecha version of C'Thun? No, that will be cra... 

WAIT A MINUTE!!!

I don't see why people like you have problems with the team taking creative liberties, this expansion is centered around a character that is featured in WoW i don't see what the problem is, we can't have a Nax esc expansion every time.

Also, I would like to point out they removed the "Heroes of Warcraft" part from the title for a reason. You can't seriously think you can blame them because they want to create their own content.

Good. Now bring on the StarCraft expansion.

I admit I derp'd about Subject 9.  I wholly accept that!

Still, two then.  Why, that changes everything!  :/

Cthun, even in an alternative form doesnt count?

Also i am PRETTY sure that the wow TCG had plenty of characters that didn't exist in the lore before. And talking about lore... why so you even care so much? In a game where you literally play horde and alliance characters on the same side... or you as a "priest" are able to cast spells that are not from priest at all... or that you can polymorph an old god... why is your concern now a thing? Just enjoy the game.

Tbh I couldnt care less if the current expansion has few or no old characters. We had quite some of them in the latest exp anyways

Exactly lol.  I remember Blizz was actually asked about this early in HS's life, whether they'll bring any other of their franchises to the game.  Their answer was a resounding NO! because it was a Warcraft game.  They wanted to stick to Warcraft lore, outside of an event here and there.

With that clearly no longer being the case, well, I guess they need to start constructing additional Pylons...

I never played World of Warcraft or cared about it's lore when I got into Hearthstone, so I am fine with this.

ıt's better they don't spend good legendaries  on fun expansion.

Yeah, I really miss it. I used to play it a lot (rogue was my main class). :( I was not the best player out there, but every single match was a blast for me. Good memories. :)

 No regrets?  XD

I like the idea of making a whole expansion just based on one character. That way they have more creative freedom to make stuff up. 

I just wish they would make a Booty Bay expansion as WoW Pirates are awesome. I know it will probably not happen till next year no though as BD is Goblin themed (well sort of) and so is Booty Bay. 

What expansion would you want to see? @OP. 

This is why World of Warcraft will die.

Do you know what World of Warcraft players whining about these days ? Lack of new iconic characters.

You want to hug old characters and they keep killing Illidan and then reviving and killing and reviving...

Ok I love Sylvanas or Illidan or Ner'zhul but C'mon Let them create new characters and let them try new things.

Try to like them like how you loved Sen'jin before.
