Tracking More Than 500 Wins? Coming Soon to a Hearthstone Near You
Over the years, community members have been asking if we could have Hearthstone track more than 500 wins per hero. It turns out that this will finally be coming to the game, with the limit being increased to unlimited. TRACK ALL THE WINS!
Quote from Ben BrodeWhy do you not allow players to track ranked wins past 500?
Makes it less powerful of a motivator if we add more rewards at 1k. But we decided not to do that, so we are going to add this soon.
There is no cap. Seems like my tweet may have been misinterpreted. (Source)
Adding a reward for doing a thing creates 'extrinsic motivation' do it. If I offered you X for doing Y, and you want X, you might consider doing Y.
If we offer you more rewards for reaching 1000 ranked wins, but you already have 1000 ranked wins, we aren't motivating you do anything. Our options were to cap you at 500, then unleash new rewards at 1k, giving 500 wins of progress towards a new reward, or just letting you count up from 500 now, and not adding rewards at 1k. We decided to go with latter.
I want to point out that I think adding more cosmetic rewards is generally cool. I just don't think 1000 ranked wins is a better place to put them than say, level 70, or in Ranked Chest rewards. (Source)
While im not a stats whore, i'd really like to know how many wins i have for each class. And no I dont really care about the rewards so don't reset our win counts, thanks.
to be honest, i lost all motivation playing this game when I got to 9/9 golden hero, since getting to legend is kind of boring after defeating the same deck 150 time every season.
This assumes that HS is a game were a skill difference exists in top level play, which is wrong.
Therer are thousands of people playing the game equally well, the only factors that matter are famousness and the time spent with playing
I have well over 6500 wins in ranked. 6/9 classes golden. It would be nice to see how many wins i have with the classes that are already golden. Dont care if it take another 500 wins to get next reward.
Leave everything as it is. Got 500 wins woohoo, got the golden hero end of story
It is nice to know there is a conclusion at some point.
I have ALL golden heroes and I dont want to have to reach to a new limit.
I dont want to farm wins, that kind of gameplay destroys the game and I am ashamed to admit it, I have farmed at low levels...
stop this madness!!
We need more achievements.This isnt enough
Blizzard thinking for the past expansion: let's not give players almost anything free so they have to buy more stuff from us. Let's nerf the 'pity timer' so they'll have to pay at least 100$ to play this "F2P" game. What's next?
I think a community goal, every month maybe, would be a good adittion. A lot of games are doing that and it's a cool engagement motive. Like "community goal: destroy 1mi minions". Also, you could direct the whole community for some especific way of playing for some time, like if the meta is all Pirates for too long, make a goal of Beast, for exemple. Idk, just putting in my 2 cents.
hahaha me too, but I have only 60+ win with the rogue
I don't have 500 wins even with a single class, because I enjoy playing arena more than ladder... FeelsBadMan
Instead, how about a halfway reward at 250 wins to motivate more players to push ladder?
1. They could make rewards similar to "The Elder Scrolls: Legends". You getting good amount of rewards playing 20 levels storyline and extra rewards on level-ups: more gold, packs, cards, "dust". There are many titles could be obtain by many ways (
2. Containers with random stuff (like "Overwatch" and "Heroes of storm 2.0"). It can be old cardbacks, cards, legendary rewards skins or smth new we never seen before...
And i want to choose play golden / non-golden hero.
I would love to play naxx. It's my favorite adventure because of the cards and bosses. I also think gvg is my favorite expansion. Either that or ungoro. I think purchasing wild packs is a great idea
Why not just raise the 500 cap for now ? we all love rewards but we didn't ask for them, why do we allways have to wait so long for simple features ??
Yeah, they wouldn't want to introduce the '2,147,483,647' wins bug (win 2,147,483,648 is displayed as -1) or the '4,294,967,296' wins bug (win 4,294,967,297 is displayed as 0). Don't even get started on the potential for rendering issues related to unanticipated number of digits needed to display the wins. Perhaps they should employ a 'long long' so that these issues wouldn't occur until someone got 18,446,744,073,709,551,617 wins - only real hardcore players could ever get that many.
I'm pretty sure even bots wouldn't get that many is they ran pirate warrior 24/7
It can be old cardbacks we never obtain other ways
and if i have them?..
This! Have a unique card back for each class (and then maybe even a special one if you reach like 1k wins with all or something?)
BTW.....I have EVERY back except the all golden, and that's cause I'm not going to fly and enter a tourney in China just for a back...........................
