Yong Woo: Easier to get Wild Cards, Deckslots, Promotional Heroes Coming Back
Yong Woo hosted a Korean Hearthstone Q&A on Twitch and InvenGlobal translated the stream. Below is a recap of things of interest from their translation.
Quote from Yong Woo
- The majority of players do not use 18 deck slots. Yong would rather see importing and exporting of lists to solve the deckslot issue.
- One designer is focusing on figuring out a way to allow players to more easily get wild cards they're missing.
- Some promotional heroes and card backs should be coming back during the Year of the Mammoth.
- There are no current plans to give end of month rewards for both formats; they don't want to force players to play both modes.
- The bug where Hearthstone cuts off music you are playing is something they want to fix but requires an engine upgrade which takes a lot of time and effort and as such is not currently high on the priority list.
What's the problem with the deck slots? And can someone tell me what import/exporting decks is?
Import/exporting decks means, I believe, that there are 3rd party apps that lets you download deck lists from sites (Hearthpwn being one I believe), Then transfering it into an empty deck slot in your collection. Like copy/paste a deck list to and from your collection
Eternal has that feature. You can export decks per click into the clipboard and you will get a list like:
4 Oni Ronin (Set1 #13)
3 Pyroknight (Set1 #16)
2 Suffocate (Set1 #251)
4 Torch (Set1 #8)
3 Argenport Instigator (Set1 #268)
4 Kaleb's Favor (Set0 #3)
4 Vara's Favor (Set0 #35)
2 Cabal Countess (Set1 #506)
4 Champion of Chaos (Set1 #402)
2 Deathstrike (Set1 #290)
4 Impending Doom (Set1 #286)
2 Centaur Raidleader (Set1 #50)
4 Obliterate (Set1 #48)
4 Umbren Reaper (Set1 #299)
9 Fire Sigil (Set1 #1)
8 Shadow Sigil (Set1 #249)
4 Seat of Chaos (Set0 #60)
4 Stonescar Banner (Set1 #419)
Then you can just copy the list and click import on another client and you get a complete deck no matter if you have all the cards or not.
I hope they will make a charity related card back
I use all 18 slots, have to remove decks all the time because I don't have any free slots.
I do play both standard and wild though unlike a lot of people that only play one mode.
Same here. They should just make folders for each class imo. For example, you click shaman standard and it brings up like 9 standard shaman decks, etc. Then you could still have 18 slots (standard/wild for each class) but have far more than 18 decks.

Of course they don't want to hand out rewards for both formats for it meaning more dust / cards for the players and thus esulting in less $$$ for the company.
Seriously, cut the bullcrap with these pretextual responses already.
I personally know f2p player who plays constructed only in standard (but mostly plays arena) and still hates these rewards because he feels obligated to grind ladder each month for them. Because missing golden epics (which cost like legendaries) is kinda painful.
Yes. And complaining about rewards still makes more sense than about 90% complains on this forum.
At least there is a vague point. If you don't want to play constructed but still climb 5 rank for reward, you feel bad for it. If you don't climb and miss "free" reward (though in fact it's not free because it costs you some time, and time is money) you also feel bad. There is no logic but that's how some people feel.
In WoW at the start of Mists of Pandaria there was a huge outcry about Blizzard forcing people to do dailies (there was vast amount of dailies, especially compared to the previous expansion). In fact there wasn't much point in grinding them (especially for casual players) but people still grinded and cried about it on forums.
this may be an unpopular opinion but I don't want card backs to come back I like the idea you can show how long you have been playing the game just with what card back you are using I know this means nothing about skill but its a nice little thing you can do.
for, example I use the Halloween 2014 card back
Unless they just mean card backs from events like they did with the Christmas card back then that is fine a bit unfortunate then making new card backs but still ok in my book

please dont take away the 18 slots... i would even like more
That's what he's replying to. They'd rather make deck list import/export (which would be useful for everyone) than add in more slots that most people won't use.
Does Q&A means something else for the Korean language?
Cause i see what the Q's are,but i see no answers. Maybe Yong Woo should became a politician,he sais some general things,without answering the questions.
Is that easy to get a job from Blizzard?
Oopss.. I'm the minority... Somehow 18 deck slots are not enough (just nice) for me.... Cheers...
Seriously? Does this really take more than 10 seconds of thought? Make their craft cost 50% what it is today. Next.
