"edited 1 day ago" by the person who today says they actually help make diamond cards.
By pure coincidence, your linkedin says you joined blizzard 1 year and 2 months ago, and this comment and thread was made 1 year and less than 3 months ago.
I don't mean anything by this, I just think it's funny lol
Valid point. OP posted in that topic and his post didn’t ‘sound’ as a dev one. Again i apologize if i am wrong you not being a dev.
But let the purchasers of Diamond cards decide on nerfs via vote every week and then do them.
See right now Diamond cards are neat, but both Standard and Wild are total trash -- filled with Mine Rogue, Curse Warlocks and other "not Hearthstone" decks that belong in a Tavern Brawl or single player adventure.
Hard to sell cards for a game mode that is, frankly, total trash right now --- not just my opinion, watch any streamer from Zeddy to GetMeowth.
I think diamond cards are great, although I think that there is more potential for them than just legendaries. For example also other rarities would look cool as diamond cards. Here are some other ideas regarding diamond cards:
- I like how diamond Loatheb was given for free when you have the entire naxxramas collection. I hope you're doing the same for other adventures and expansions. For blackrock mountain I'd suggest the legendary to be emperor thaurissan, as it saw/sees the most play compared to other legendaries from that adventure.
- Perhaps also have 1 diamond common, diamond rare and diamond epic given out for free when you respectively own all commons, rares or epics of an expansion (maybe also for adventures)? That way you give additional goals for players to collect all the cards in an expansion, plus it enlarges the total number of diamond cards which can be collected.
- Maybe also consider diamond heroes in the future, for example when a player has 1500 wins with a class? As time goes on more and more players will have 1500+ wins with a class they mainly play, so some additional reward would be cool imo. Instead of it being forced like golden heroes I think it should be added as an option between gold and diamond as not everyone may be a fan of them.
Another suggestion (unrelated to diamond cards) I have is to add the toggle favorite option for heroes and coins too instead of just for card backs. I love this feature for card backs but I'd love to also use it for my heroes in particular as I'm already on an average of 5 heroes per class. I hope I gave you some interesting ideas!
Love the game, pretty much 100% collector suporter. Please try selecting minions that probably will everlast (like what you did with loatheb) instead of niche cards that might never see too much play.
Also a nice fix to arshbishop benedictus plat not doing anything to the hero power would be great!
Diamond cards look like frozen minions, and animation will get old, original golden is timeless. Thats my opinion. I dont like design of diamond cards.
Which is pointless because after the nerf he sucks.
Refund policy is indeed in my opinion the major topic if we are talking about purchasable diamond cards.
Will Blizzard refund the money if they will nerf the diamond card acquired with a purchase?
Have the people received the refund in money, after the nerf, that purchased Drek'Thar in diamond?
Without a refund policy, there is no way in which diamond cards are interesting. It's just a way to piss people off. Because if I buy a diamond card, they nerf it, and it sucks, and they don't give me my money back, I get pissed off.

* Throws money at you*
Does this sound dev like (* Throws money at you*).
Hard to take a dev who talks like this serious. Just my opinion.
Tbf this thread was posted a couple days before the patch announcement and that was worded as "the announcement of the announcement" so it's almost as if the PR team had words with Devs and said "let's act more like the consumers and take the mick out of ourselves a bit, seem a bit more on their level and relatable". And his comment was made just hours before Hearthstones official Twitter made a very similar self aware joke. To me it actually makes this seem more legit
I think diamond cards should be limited to about 2-3% of all cards ,having an optimal deck with only diamond version of cards (seems like a bad idee, you got golden cards for that if you want to do it)
.It should be a limited number of cards .Would help if they were key/playable cards (so you don't feel bad when drawing/playing them), and if the cards were neutral so you could actually put them in a multiple decks (and there wouldn't be a bias towards any classes)
That being said they should interact or do something more animation wise then a golden version. If the only change is a cards outline/boarder so it looks cool-er then i don't see any point ... and soon we can print emerald cards and others.
Edited:Sure there are people that buy something to show off, but that gets boring quickly. Listening to your fav music ,or whatching your fav movie does not. Thats why i suggest something to do with interaction/animation wise
Hi Ben, thank you for the post, really appreciate it. Honestly, I really don't like this animated cards. I have a more traditional taste -- I prefer the more traditional look. Hearthstone is one of the few card games, that is look like a real card game -- not a bunch of fantasy images with numbers on it.
I just wanted to ask you that please be respectful to the well proven, good old classic roots. Hearthstone cards don't need more unnecessary bells and whistles that take away that loved traditional fantasy card appearance.
I have a suggestion for you: There's a bunch of mercenaries diamond cards like Deathwing that are also playable ladder cards. Why not put these diamond cards in the game? I'd imagine it would be pretty easy to program and new art wouldn't have to be made. Also, there's a lot of cool alternative mercenaries arts for playable standard cards, can we get those selectable?
On a side note: I really wish most of the diamonds weren't directly tied to owning all the legendaries of a set and instead were linked to some sort of test of skill or ridiculous achievement. Like a diamond lorewalker cho for giving your opponent 200 cards or something

Could actually be super cool! In the end, I don't care if you have collected 25 legends, but if you actually killed the opponent with OH my Yogg, I'll pay that diamond some respect!
Diamond cards should generate diamond things, right now I don't see that, it feels half-assed (sorry) Benedictus should give diamond hero power, Jandice should spawn diamond minions and Sivara should give diamond spells
its alot of work, but again, you value these cards @ 30 bucks each, then they should be worth the rarity and price tag, right now they dont feel like it

"It is a lot of work", it seems a funny statement to me. I mean, It is an animation in a frame already made, always the same.
There is no way that €25 is a reasonable price. You can buy a full game Triple A game with this price of 2 diamond cards. That's a lot of work, when you have to develop a full game.
Blizz should works on how to stop its bleeding instead of thinking about how to scam people.

Increase the price of Diamond cards to $100.

Let's keep this thread on topic please. We have done our due dilligence and that should be good enough.
Just give feedback on Diamond Cards and help make the future of these cards better/cooler/more interesting.
If you see a bad post on the forum use the report function under it, so I or someone else of the moderation team can take care of it!
They are great but for sure soon you will do 20 every month for only 20USD for each.
If any will cost only real money I will stop to collect them.

Thanks!
they are nice but not worth anywhere near 30$ to anyone who has to feed a family and pay mortage

want a ultimate crazy idea with +99% meta breaker?
goat of ultimate power 1/3 common card
battlecry DRAW A DIAMOND CARD so yes you can drawDrek'Thar on turn 1

Oh so you are the dude who milks peoples money for skins by using and abusing predatory tactics. Nice to meet you. Fuck diamond cards. Byyyyye
Hi Mr. Dev. I wrote a private message to you. Please write back if you can.
There should be a reward each month, where you can choose 1 card and upgrade it for free. Of course that card will be bound and cannot disenchant.
Top 100 legend, upgrade 1 golden legend to diamond. For legend rank, upgrade 1 legend card to golden. At Diamond 5, upgrade an epic card...
That will be hype, not just pack and some rare cards.
