We need some idea of when they're looking to makes balance changes. The Team 5 from 2-3 years ago was way better at communicating with the Hearthstone community. They've had a lot of turnover in that time period but it doesn't excuse the lack of communication. I feel like Hearthpwn, reddit, playhearthstone.com, and twitter are good outlets for information but I'm not seeing anything about how the developers feel about the state of the game. I think they did a great job on this expansion and I respect the effort that this small team puts into the game but certain cards and decks need to be addressed. Most games have patch notes, updates, and events/store items during their weekly reset. Hearthstone has a weekly reset for achievements and new items pop up in the store daily but no information about balance changes.
Blizzard/Team 5 please reach out to your community
My issue is opposite. I am not talking about the general situation in HS now, but the approach.
In general I would like to not see any balance changes after the releases. Game is out and it should be already tested. This approach is frustrating, why have we to always wait adjustments for something that should be already developed.
And also this cause me a lot of delays in playing this game.
After every release I have always to wait the first balance changes to craft something because I already know that they will nerf everything in the first 1-2 weeks, than I have to wait the new meta and at this point I can craft. So, I have to wait nearly one month or more every time to craft something. Is this possible? Can team 5 simply test and stop this bullshit nonsense? They have to test not us.

They always release them in the first few weeks of the expansion. Changes are coming, even if they don't announce them.

It's easier to scale back the power of a card then it is the buff it.
The expansion has been out just 8 days and they had Easter holiday and a HUGE World Of Warcraft announcement in that time span too.
Relax, they'll communicate about what's coming next soon enough, maybe even tomorrow. :)
You are well aware that Team 5 is separate development group from WoW. That communication does not fall under the same banner. On top of that WoW has a patch almost every week whether it's game bugs, announcements, or balance changes to the characters. On the Team 5 wiki there is no position of community manager and there should be.
I'm hoping that you mods on Hearthpwn already reach out to or have existing lines of communication to the developers at Team 5 because this site is a great source for disseminating that information.
I think they're waiting for the dust to settle. The meta is still very much in flux, we've already had a period of mech domination that has diminished significantly, and it was quite recently that Demon Hunter made its way to the top and overtook Quest Warrior as the best aggro deck.
Don't get why we get these each and every single expansion these days ... They NEVER EVER do balance change until after 2 weeks in a new expansion , they will always let us see if there isnt a sleeper deck that can put X into its place .
There is some balance change coming but you wont hear about it until its close to decided , which is NEVER in the 1st two weeks ..
There's "waiting for the meta dust to settle" and then there's broken stuff Stevie Wonder would've been able to see like Switcheroo and Unlimited Mech Works.

:) I don't care what it is easier for them. I care about the result and it is terrible. I cannot and people cannot wait always more than one month to craft things because Blizz nerfs everything when they want. They sold expansions for the price of a Triple-A game and they even check the easier way to develop with less effort (with no care about the consumers)? What a fantastic world is this.
They are enjoying meta by playing Pirate Warriors & Mech Mage, so it will take a while for them to nerf anything..
Still don't get it, they nerfed Pandaren Importer out of the blue literally a day after people found the trick to abuse the interaction in Rogue during the pre-launch gathering, they don't even know if that can be countered by any meta decks found by the community yet.... but for the real expansion launch, they are still taking their time to investigate the meta while they know there is some stupid worse combo issues going on... This shows it doesn't take much work for them to nerf any cards, it is the matter whether they want to do it or not

I'm not asking for faster balance changes into an expansion I'm asking for communication. They used to say very early on these are the cards from the existing pool of standard cards that we are monitoring and these are the cards from the new expansion that we're going to keep an eye on. That's all I want. Because if they tell the community what they're seeing and stack that up against what players are experiencing it should hopefully lead to a healthier gaming experience.

But quest warrior is by far the more popular deck at every rank in the game aside from legend, where it's the second most popular

The switcheroo will be nerfed, but unlimited mech will not.

And if they release cards that are underpowered, people will complain and use your same complaint 'They sold this bad, weak set and I played Triple-A Game Price for it'. No one wants another Rastakhan's Rumble. Or I guess they could buff cards that are weak and completely throw off the power level of the game like they did in the past, at which point people will complain for a nerf to it. I guess in the end, people will be like you and complain no matter what they do, because there is no such thing as a perfect game or perfect balance in a card game.

Beginning of the year is the best opportunity for them to lower the power level in Standard, but they chose not to do it. Rastakhan's Rumble was released as the 3rd expansion of the year, which was very bad timing to compete its power level against Boomday Project and Witchwood..

They would have to do a large nerf because there are still a ton of strong cards from last year around. Bringing this set out with a low power would be just as bad as Rumble.

Glorified salt thread post. If you cannot stand playing the game till balance comes…do something else?
Nobody demanding you keep playing hs when you could take a break and return after some balance changes.

They didnt say anything prior to 14 days into an expansion is what im getting at ....
The switcheroo will be nerfed, but unlimited mech will not.
The dirst weeks I am only playing arena, standard until they announce nerfs.
