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)
I am not sure if adding more rewards for wins would be beneficial. I would like to see some other, parallel system, though.
Am I the only one who does not like this ?
I mean having got rid of that counter always felt very satisfying, like a sense of completion.
Awesome :D I'm really curious about all the number of wins. Hopefully this is only the beginning of the in-game stats review. Would love to see more detailed stats or some interesting facts about our accounts (like how many murlocs we played, how many spells casted, what is our win ratio etc.)
I'd like to see the amount of wins with each class in each game mode and Wild and Standard separately somewhere. Afaik my number of wins against Innkeeper could be anywhere between 100 and 500.
OMG. Please don't. Know it will show how much time i lost in my life playing priest
f2p btw
your dick must be 2 feet long
Ben i want platinum board for 1000 wins and dimond for 1500
ps and 1000 gold for 1000 wins
why? i like my interface clean, not interested in irrelevant numbers displayed under my hero...
I'd say the best solution is to make it optional, but they never do that.
I have 7 golden heroes, and I'm really curious to see how much I've actually played each of them. In particular, I want to be able to show off how much of a masochist I am with what will probably be 1k+ priest wins!!! (And yes, I got golden priest long before dragon priest was a deck)
don't you get them when you have 500 wins with that class?
How about the chance to get golden ETC if you hit 999,999 wins :p
I'm a fan of this. I've had golden priest for a while and miss the counter.
Even though i agree on platinum heroes would encourage farming, they should still implement it.
What would be neat would be something like 2K win with one class you get the same hero but it another badass pose. Would not be a new hero and would still reward those who stick to one class
Diamond/Rainbow-ish boarder colour at 1000 wins would be hype for me!
Why does it stop at 1000. Are you telling me a software company can't add a few more digits on their UI.
The post said "at least 1000" due to the wording not being concrete. Ben has clarified though that it will indeed be unlimited. Now just gotta wait for that patch.
