What's on Your Hearthstone Wishlist for Next Year?
Hearthstone Game Designer, August Dean Ayala, took to Twitter yesterday to ask the community what they'd like to see from the game next year.
So HearthPwnians, what stuff do you want to see from the game next year? Personally, I'd love to see more of the developer insights series that Ben Brode started and I won't even be picky about who you put on.
Overwatch's Game Director, Jeff Kaplan, does pretty regular updates for that community and they're filled with insight. Talk to us about some upcoming content, even if its vague. Provide us with interesting stats here and there - don't be afraid to release stuff like that. Or hey, I know this sounds crazy, but maybe you guys could even use that blog for updates that aren't guacboi.
Quote from @IksarHSWhat's on your Hearthstone wishlist for 2017?
Dear August Dean Ayala,
I would like to see Tavern Brawls that are themed to the hearthstone zodiac calendar. I would love to see 2-3 times a year a Tavern Brawl that is called a Blue Moon Tavern Brawl. This Tavern Brawl would allow only a select bunch from wild and standard cards to be used to create decks. This could also be used for special side tournament events. This would use Tavern Brawl as a vehicle to shake up the meta for only a little time period of time and new decks would be forced into creation.
just one wish
Options in the settings - "Permanently disable opponents replicas"
That would be too confusing for new players.
More dust from disenchanting. 10 for commons and 25 for rares so that the enchant/disenchant ratio is the same across all rarities. Or decrease crafting cost of commons to 25 dust so common and rare cards are 5:1 and epic and legendary cards are 4:1.
Increase reward for winning 3 games to 20 gold, keep the same 100 gold per day cap for this.
More frequent discounts like the "welcome bundle" with the expansion featured in the bundle rotated weekly or monthly
A reason to keep playing Tavern Brawl after winning 1 game
The ability to get the alternate Priest hero again
EASIER WAY TO GET LEGEND!!!
Create a new tournament game mode; and I don't mean Heroic Tavern Brawl, which was nice but actually was a standard constructed arena -- we want actual tournaments.
Ideally you would have a tourney every few days, with a sign up (with an affordable cost, i.e. much less than 1k gold), swiss rounds and conquest matches -- or possibly alternate conquest with other modes, more inviting to new players. Prizes could be varried between bragging rights, card backs, gold, packs, or even earning HCT points. You could also have once a month a "championship" event for that month's top scoring players, and other types of end of the month events.
I think Spellweaver currently has this game mode built into the game, and it works pretty well.
It would be cool to have "standard arena", similar to what MTG has. I would love to be able to create a mech deck when there is a mech expansion, and a Jade deck when there is a Jade (duh!) expansion.
Also, I haven't played a single pirate warrior or shaman deck after the expansion, but I really don't like Reno Jackson. Please, don't move it to Standard, let's move on.
How many games have you played, bro? PW and Shaman aren't too bad, but they're still very common.
Best of 5s in ladder with a ban I hate ladder I've gone from playing everyday a ton to logging on to look at my decks and say I really am not having fun grinding this ladder and not really playing at all last few weeks feelssosobadman
aggro to not be #1. every. single. meta.
you right. i meant cancer
they're tagged cancer because blizzard prints unbalanced cards (or cards which synergize together to be unbalanced) which are put into those decks. think about how many cards in combo druid were nerfed. they printed thing from below and 4 mana 7/7 and look what just became tier 1. I don't care what's tier one or two, I just don't like it when it is tier one solely because of the power vested into one card, and the deck has several of those overpowered cards.
the 4 mana 7/7 was never run in midrange shaman, only aggro shaman and was almost never played with thing from below
Don't you love how flamewreathed faceless is never called by its name and is always just 4 mana 7/7?
Who needs a name when you have incredible stats?
Embrace a new rogue theme. Rogues are awesome assassins, not petty pickpockets!
1) No more broken-ass aggro cards
2) More Dragon Pally support please!
1. Rebalance of Classic set class cards. Basically try and make the base set of tools each class has more even in power level. I don't advocate buffing anything to the point of being overpowered, but cards like Savagery, Mind Games, Kidnapper, etc are just woefully bad in every situation. At least rework them to be more interesting/viable with where Hearthstone has gone since the beta.
2. More high stakes game modes. Heroic Brawl was fun, but they need to make it a separate thing so it doesn't take away the regular Tavern Brawl.
3. Rework Ranked mode so players aren't incentivized to play aggro decks since you can play more games faster and therefore rank up faster. Build in a way for control decks to gain stars at the same relative pace.
