They should announce the expansion on July 24th, and keep announcing some cards every day until realese on mid august.... a perfect balance between the aproaches
I'd almost prefer that to this here some cards, now wait two weeks before we talk about kkthx
This. I'm not saying they should dilute their reveal, I'm just criticizing their 2 weeks of absolute silence because of an announcement made too soon.
TOO SOON BEN BRODE, YOU ANNOUNCED THE EXPANSION TOO SOON
I don't like this no cards for a whole month strategy, but I also disliked the one card-a-day strategy.
I think we need a middle ground, where they reveal like few cards on the first announcment and then let's say 8-14 cards each week until we have 1/2 of all cards revealed and then the rest half of cards on the big reveal, the one we are waiting for now.
That's a good idea.
I guess they shouldn't have announced any cards at all to prevent the void of these 2 weeks.
Blizzard used to announce 1 or 2 cards each day between the initial expansion announcement and the final stream. For me (and I guess that also for many others, let's see what the poll results are), it was the chance to get everyday's piece of hype and theorycraft, trying to infer the strategies and meta decks, etc.
Now, however, we get 5 cards announced (including 2 Arena-type-fillers) and a brand new mechanic, followed by plain nothing-at-all for at least 2 weeks. Ben Brode and his team seem to think it is better this way, although I don't see any open poll / question asked to the community, hence this thread.
