Game Mode ID Coming to Hearthstone
A new feature is coming to Hearthstone in an upcoming patch called, at least internally, Game Mode ID.
Game Mode ID shows an icon beside your name, much like the rank emblems you see on the ladder today, but are specific to each game mode. Arena, Tavern Brawl, Adventures, and Casual will all be getting unique icons, and some will have extra functionality.
- Arena icon displays your current win count and below it, you can see how many losses you have on the current run.
- Tavern Brawl icon lets you mouseover it to view the rules of the current brawl.
- Adventure icon uses an icon from the adventure. No functionality was described.
- Casual icons look pretty.
This news was brought to us by a video released by the @PlayHearthstone twitter account.

Yeah. In order for these to be quests there would need to be a system where you only received these if you fulfilled the requirements.
like: owning elise, having all 9 classes, owning 5 legendaries, owning 10 inspire minions, etc
I like it, if not anything else the screenshots will tell more than they used to.
more cosmetics is good... we love cosmetics... :)
I wonder what that "Challenge" modes are, it sounds prettttty good!
It's playing versus a friend, nothing new.
SeemsGood
And of course they should also show the current number of Midiclorians in your blood at the moment :P
On mobile it would be great to see how do I proceed with the 3wins/10gold thing.
Its aesthetically pleasing has some implication no down side, nuff said.
That video was hilarious, Ben's way too good at unrehearsed vlog/streams.
The very last picture made me dream a little.
If you get to see WHICH tavern brawl your friend is playing, does that mean there will be a time when you can choose a tavern brawl ?? Does that mean there will be a new mode that contains all tavern brawls and we'd be able to choose the ones we like ??
A simple picture perhaps, but one can ask many questions about it.
It simply makes the rules of each week's brawl easily accessible while the game is being played.
About time we got a loss counter for arena. Also, that Brawl icon that gives you the rules will definitely come in handy.
they should also allow spectating when friends draft their arena deck, maybe even with you as a spectator choosing from the 3 cards and that choice appearing to your friend as "battlenet name" suggest you pick X card, or as a poll % under the cards if there were many friends spectating , which i think could help less experienced arena players
It's nice to have those inside information of what's coming.
You might want to figure out what sarcasm is.
Thats pretty cool.
Why not?
If it gets rid of that disconnect problem, this better come soon!
What I wonder is, will spectators see win-loss ratio on arena ?
