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!
Yeah, their evil plan that you get 10-20 gold less per day so they can milk the sh-t out of your wallet #Kappa
d3zmond: That's true, but there's huge difference between getting less gold and that being a problem (which is correct) and conspiracy theorist flooding the board with"Blizzard's maniacal plan" by shortening them with like ~70 gold per week (getting 60*7 or more in a week is not really realistic). This sh-t is just ridicoulos.
Yeah, the quest feature bugged and this has a lot to do with the fact that they are trying to renew it. They shown it with the Play a friend quest, the do a quest with a friend week and they even said at the launch of Whispers that they are definitely working on a new, better (so maybe less win-centric) quest system.
wahhh there are so many bugs in the game but here's 1 i notice and doesn't even really effect me all that much WAAAAHHHH
Bringing all card backs? NO! Thats absolutely idiotic to take away something that was supposed to be limited and giving it to everyone.
Imagine in World of Warcraft they would start selling Black Qiraji Battle Tank (mount from Ahn'Qiraj opening). Imagine what people who have this mount would feel.
I get your point about the battle tank, but I think I would feel like... ha, I earned mine just by playing. These suckers are having to pay for theirs. Joke's on them.
Although if (and still a big IF at this point) they decide to make old card backs available, I hope you still earn them through play. Like each month, if you get to rank 20 you choose either the new card back or any old season card back. I would pick up the cupcakes in a heartbeat. I started ladder play the next month and missed it. Maybe Blizzcon card backs have to be purchased, if they are available at all.
would you actually be upset if you saw someone with the same card back that literally the only person that can see that you're using it is the person you're playing against????
You are reaching too much. The day before the launch 3 people in my friendlist and myself got the 80 gold quest.
Computer says no.
who cares about dat cake?? we need answers. which we don't get!
I came here because of the cake
nice conspiracy
no, pls don't make old card backs available, the panda back is special to players who have been playing HS for a long time (and others too)
I have my scarab lord title in WOW and the black AQ battle tank and what makes them so great is that THEY WERE NEVER AVAILABLE AGAIN once AQ event stopped!! if everyone had them they would be just kinda average, but this way they are the best ground mount and title in the game
lets face it, the panda card back is okay but no-one would really use it if it weren't 'special' or 'exclusive' or whatever
please, just don't
