Today Blizzard decided that golden cards are no longer animated on phones, they say its to reduce the app size, i’m well aware that many people are going to be very happy about it because they struggle with their 16gb of storage phones, but let me get this straight, its 2018, up-to-date phones have over 500gb of storage and more tflops then the vast majority of computers sold this year, why would my user experience be worse then before because of poor asses who are rocking 2007 phones ???
At the very least this should be an option in the graphic settings, you can defend blizzard all you want but if you have a good phone, you got screwed, if you have a crap phone, well, I guess you wont be obligated to delete 2gb of cat pictures to update hearthstone.... SMH
Already have a gaming pc.. why should I get a 2008 game experience on my 2018 phone ?? Just so a bunch of freeloaders have enough space to install the game ? Make it an option LOL

what if I told you they arent optimizing the game after YOU, they are optimizing after the majority and to make it an "option" would still require you to put it in the game file to download so wouldn't work..
Then instead of an option, a simple check when downloading, you using a crappy 5€ flip flop? Fine, you get the freeloader version, you are a hard working person with a great phone, there yo go, full download
the game could be 120gb id still install it, why do they keep trying to shave a few megabytes at the cost of the customer experience???? This is something that cant be defended, sorry, keep licking their ass if you want but that’s absolute nonsense

Seems like they've just killed your brother... Chill dude
Well it should be an option, but to be fair I'm not really into my phone, and deleted HS on my phone because it was too much of a memory hog and i rather just play it on my PC. So it's really a smart move, that said their should be an option for an "HD PACK" or something.

Developed Hearthstone player, have played and beaten highly skilled opponents on numerous occasions. Not that ambitious on ladder. Only play off of win streaks. Love theory more than meta.
I assume they want to reduce the size of the app so that everyone has enough storage space for Diablo Immortal...cause you know...[Insert Phone Meme here].
The answer is simple. Blizzard doesn't work for you, they want their game to be accessible to everyone so they made this change. After all the change affects only mobile-casual gamers so if you are so rich and superior to other hearthstone players get a PC or just deal with it and stop whining for no reason...people like you ruin the community.

Op is right. It’s 2018, wtf is blizzard doing taking away the one luxury Golden’s bring to us? Tons of people crafted a golden Whizbang because it looks sick as hell rolling a golden deck. It’s a dick move if I’m being quite honest.
I play from mobile too (I've also written all my posts from my phone). In order to trigger Golden Animations, you have to go to Options --> Asset Download (or whatever it's called) and start up the download from there. It worked for me, but you ll have to redownload the animation each time a new patch get launched.

Such a troll...
Pff make it less obvious next time
First world problems.
Why don't you just buy yourself a PC or laptop with all that money you've got then?
Most stupid (I dont know what to say) ever...

WOW
Yah I think it should be an option like how many mobile game you can choose your graphic quality (low, medium, high).
Nintendo switch can run diablo 3
but Galaxy note 9 / iPhone XS MAX cant have golden animations ??
bitch please.. those phones eats the switch for breakfast
Why are you playing on your phone XD

blizzard cares about profit, not you.
Hey, if this update pisses you off, might as well quit the game. And we wouldn't even care.
