Ben Brode on Bugged Quests, Mobile Performance, Old Card Backs
Hearthstone's Lead Designer, Ben Brode, has tweeted a few interesting things this weekend. Recap below!
Quote from Ben BrodeGetting reports of quests not dropping at the same probabilities as before. If true, in wasn't intended. We'll take a look. Sorry! (Source)
It is disappointing that you removed all the high reward quests from the game for Karazhans launch!
It's a bug. We are working on a fix. Sorry! (Source)Would you consider adding an option to increase performance on the mobile version of HS? Maybe limiting animations or something?
We are basically always working on making this better (Source)Is the Archmage's Apprentice card from Medivh vs Malchezzar meant to be a young Khadgar?
Perhaps (Source)Hey Ben, is there any chance we can get older card backs? I missed a few and I would really love to get them :/
Yeah it might be possible eventually (Source)Cant craft golden Mounted Raptor [This also applies to other golden cards that have their crafting requirements unlocked through achievements such as C'Thun]
We are hoping to fix this for the 6.1 patch. Sorry about that. (Source)
Bonus: Dalaran Flame Cake
While stalking the Brodester, we discovered quite the cake that @EltheLilo received last night. It is a replica of the Dalaran Flame card back. Happy Birthday!
Actually Blizzard does it every time with new adventure. Its just this time they messed up with probabilities or something and its too obvious.
Your tinfoil hat's on a little too tight, and for some reason people seem to believe you. Fucking loonies.
Whether its a "conspiracy" or just a bug, the fact remains. They messed around with probabilities of quests just before an expansion launch.
Either on purpose or by mistake, it doesn't actually matter which does it? The fact remains, they made it harder to get expansion wings and gold.
I would really like to know how much gold we all are losing every day, i mean all players combined. Guess it's a nice number and of course Blizzard didn't know about that bug (does anybody really believe that?), I mean how the f*ck can they accidentally change the probabilities of quests appearing or better said remove the chance of getting any quests other than the 40g ones and the 60g Braqwl quest? I even got the EXACT same ones in the EXACT same order on NA and Asia. This bug has to be the most important thing to fix for them now, everyone is losing so much possible gold!
And regarding old cardbacks, yeah I only began playing Hearthstone just right before GvG launched, so I would welcome that as I really dig the first few cardbacks. But all my hopes got crushed again when I read "... possible eventually." So MAYBE in 1-2 years...
This comment is gold.
I think Ben and the team are doing a good job under the circumstances and the things that fall through the cracks here and there like with this gold situation don't really matter in the grand scheme of things. Gaming types love to blow things out of proportion.
The fact That you make no mention of what he has work on and how he achieved those jobs makes you seem like a little boy who can't stand people he doesn't like having success.
You look for things of how they get there just to justify that you can't have the things you really want, so you need reasons to make what seems unfair to you make sense in your troubled and low steem mind, I get it and I am sad for you, seek help my friend.
Hope about fixing the mobile platform to decrease it's now 1.6gb imprint? No way it should be this large when the PC imprint is only 100mb larger, including all card texts, full interactive game boards, and more animations.
And I think performance of PC is not as good as old days, anyone thought same?
The only thing I want is fixing these bugs won't cause any new one(I'm too optimistic)

mr. brode you should give us packs, card backs and stuff. all right, it's settled then :3
old card backs!! HYPE!!!
I really hope quests get fixed soon, so many people are losing gold while they're trying to fix this.
