Hearthstone Feedback Survey Details
Blizzard starting sending out emails this evening with a link to a feedback survey for players in the Hearthstone beta test to complete. The survey was what you would normally expect out of a beta test survey, but there were some questions that really stood out.
Desired Features
There was a question on the survey collecting data on which of the following features players would be "excited about Blizzard adding to Hearthstone". Note that these are all things that have been suggested to the Hearthstone team either at least a million times, and they're just trying to get an idea of what they really need to focus on first. *cough* spectator mode *cough*
- Chat channels beyond the emotes.
- "Observer" mode, allowing you to view live battles.
- A "play again" option after a battle has concluded.
- Additional, in-depth tutorials.
- Recorded replay of your last match.
- The ability to reorder cards in your hand.
- Raids (cooperative play vs a single, powerful boss).
- More in-depth display of achievements and statistics.
- Set up multiple profiles within one Hearthstone account.
- Ability to replay the tutorial.
- Friends list tie-in with social media.
- Paid tournaments.
Future Paid Content
There was also a question on the survey asking beta tested how interested they would be in paying for the following forms of content.
- New themed battle boards.
- New card sets.
- Additional deck slots.
- New card back artwork.
- Additional in-game emotes.
- New art for each hero class.

Golden Arena Cards?
We've been looking into this - it's a cool idea to have your Golden cards show up in Arena if you've been lucky or diligent enough to acquire them. We've been looking ways to make golden cards feel more meaningful. (Besides the fact that they have totally awesome animations!)
NA & EU Beta Opt-In Waves
Both North America and Europe received an opt-in wave for Hearthstone today. Congratulations to everyone who got in!
A wave of beta opt-in invites for the European region went out this morning and should now have concluded.
A wave of beta opt-in invites for the North American region just went out and should conclude within the next 30 minutes.
As always, please be sure to check your spam folders and Promotions tabs, as these emails have a tendency to be caught in those folders.
Hi.
Sorry, im later, but i want to play Hearthstone.
Thank u guys.
Answer: A Paladin White Whinny :3
Beta please!
For those aesthetic things I couldn't care less.
But charging for more deck slots would be a terrible move imo...
So i think a way to get cards out side of spending money is a good idea, however giving cards that come in a booster pack sort of makes a level bonus pointless. if you want to make a real level bonus then make it a bonus. don't make it a hard way to get the same thing the rich guy can get by paying for it. level bonus to upgrade the cards you already have is a good idea though. it would be nice though if blizz would make a game where the only point is to play the game. not spend a bunch of money. The game in general looks like a blast to play. the nice thing is that you can jump on play a game and leave. you don't have to spend days and days playing to get anywhere. a beta key would be awesome too. all my friends are playing and i'm quite envious
Hearthstone is wicked. gotta get that beta. can't wait to play.
is the waffle today?
I desire a key!
I am planning to purchase lots of packs with IRL money once I finally get a key. I can't wait to play a weapon-centric warrior deck!
Do you have any beta key for me? :)
key for me?!
I would love a key, i've been signed up on 2 accounts since before september, and tomorrow i'm getting surgery, then the day after is my birthday lol, but it isn't major, (i know it sounds like i'm trying to make them feel bad but it's true) so yeah, it would be amazing if i could get a key. thanks!
I would love a Beta key please, I'm 100% certain I won't get one.. but I'm out of options. Blizzard doesn't won't send me one.. even though I've been applied for one since the beginning ... and people who apply for one yesterday get it within a day. Trying to get one of twitter from a little event from BlizzradCS, but no luck. I'm desperate. Might as well try here.. so yes, please send a key my way. I'll actually PLAY the game and not just touch it once then hardly play it after.
key please
