in the past hours, the devs answered some of the users in reddit and some of the answers could be good or considered as news, we are not seeing any blog in the main page so will try to bring you some of the. and i will try to avoid the question and write the answer immediately or conclude it.
Q\ Asked by Community Manager\Ravinix ( a Question from one of our European players)
- They will release a card in the expansion prior its release, just like Volcanosaur and Marin the Fox.
Q\ Asked by reddit user\Hellberg
- They said they will try to improve the app "Improved mobile performance is definitely something we continue to look for opportunities to improve on. Recently we optimized the size of the art files specifically to take up less space while still maintaining the level of quality we would like to maintain. Additionally we are in the middle of looking at sound for future places to optimize, one such idea being; removing the background music for adventures a player doesn't own and as such will never make use of".
Q\ Asked by Community Manager\fors_hs : Are there any plans for new game modes like co-op?
- "We have a bunch of plans for this year that aren't new game modes. Our focus right now is making sure existing game modes feel like they’re fresh and exciting, like our recent update to Arena. The honest answer is that we haven't figured out what the next Hearthstone game mode will be. We talk pretty in-depth about common suggestions like 2v2; we've even spent some time in design and engineering prototyping what that mode might translate to in Hearthstone. That said, it's not something we’re working on today. We have some ambitious ideas for game modes in mind, but they’re still very early on in the design process.
As far as new stuff goes, in 2019 we’re really focusing on improving some of our existing systems while also doing some unique events throughout the expansion timeline to shake up the meta in fun ways. We'll share more information about these events as they get closer to release"
and there are lots of answers in the reddit thread:
Meh, most of the answers are just them saying something to the effect of "yes, we have discussed these changes but havent decided if we will implement this!" Like it's too much work and they are understaffed or something
How about...Can we have a "Clear new cards" button. Or a See "new cards", and where are our achievements. Still blows my mind that a game this old doesn't have an achievements screen.

You can search "new" in your collection to find them and clear the tag
Perhaps this is a little jaded, but does read as we're really excited to effectively do very little to change the game.
We have some super fun new exciting events coming up like slightly different quests for 1 week with a special new pop up character with a few voice lines when you log in! Wow!

It might be cool for players to be reminded to this cool features. I kinda like the tag "extra" more, because it allows you to dust all cards you have more than 2 of (golden ones especially)

Bleh, they really screwed up when they cancelled tournament mode

Thanks for sharing this post OP!
That'll do, Huffer. That'll do.

Always expect the unexpectable!

They snuck in that they won’t be releasing a new hero for this next year as they have for the past 2 years.
I really don’t understand why they didn’t tell us earlier.
They said they won't release a new hero now, in this first expack, but that there will be some down the line...
Pretty sure it means no year of the dragon hero ala maiev for year of the mammoth and lunara for year of the raven.
