New Features Coming to Hearthstone - Quest with Friends & Deck List Importing
Soon you're going to be able to import and export decks from Hearthstone, and more importantly, complete quests by playing games with your friends! Golden cards will also now stack with normal ones on your deck lists.
- We will support the deck list features here on HearthPwn.
- According to Daxxarri, the upcoming patch will not remove the 500 cap on class wins. That's still further out.
- Ben Brode clarified that the collection itself will still show separate goldens and normals. The new tech is only for deck lists.
Quote from BlizzardHearthstone’s upcoming update has a lot of cool stuff in it, but we wanted to call special attention to a couple of features that we’re particularly excited about. We think you’ll like them too!
Friends Forever
When the new Hearthstone update arrives, you’ll be able to complete quests in Friendly Challenges! Just issue a Friendly Challenge to someone on your Friends list and rack up credit for nearly any quest you can receive.
Last year, the Friendly Feud allowed players to complete quests when they played with a friend. You gave us a ton of positive feedback about that event, and a lot of you asked us to have Friendly Feuds more often. We thought that was a good idea, so we took it a step further!
There are some minor caveats. For example, any quests that can’t be completed as part of a Friendly Challenge aren’t eligible, such as those that require you to play vs The Innkeeper or watch a match. Most everything else is fair game though, so now you’ll have a reason to make friends with a recent opponent that isn’t just to send them a compliment.
Sharing is Caring
You’ll soon be able to easily copy and share decklists with Deck Importing! No more screen shotting decklists, or staring at a web page as you carefully build a deck, card by card. Trying—and sharing—a new decklist will be as simple as copy and paste!
Here’s how it works:
If your deck is already full, when you select the Hero portrait at the top of a deck in your collection, you’ll see a Copy button*. Press that button and your decklist will be copied to your clipboard. If you paste your decklist into a text document, it will look like this:
See that conveniently highlighted ‘code’ near the bottom? That code also works on its own, making it easier to share a decklist with friends in chat or social media.
Importing a decklist is easy. When you go to create the new deck, Hearthstone will “know” when you’ve got a valid decklist on your clipboard, so you’ll be asked if you’d like to create a new deck with the one you’ve got copied. Then you can watch your new deck be built before your eyes. You can also import decklists to Tavern Brawls!
Don’t have all the cards a deck requires? No worries! In that case, it works just like a deck recipe. Any cards you don’t already own will appear insubstantial and you can select them for suggested replacements. You might also notice that your golden and non-golden cards now stack in decklists too!
Deck Importing is great for finding and sharing new decks, but it’s also helpful for managing your library of decks. Save the code for decklists you rarely use, and when you’re ready to play one again, just copy and import it.
The new update including these features will arrive in the coming weeks. We’re super excited about them, and we can’t wait to hear what you think!
I am Nobody.
Actually a lot of people asked for this. And is it really so bad to have to wait 5 minutes every 2 months for nice extra features?
Once you see it you can't unsee it
"so now you’ll have a reason to make friends with a recent opponent that isn’t just to send them a compliment."
Yeah :))) My recent opponents always telling me compliments when ask to add them :)
You get the joke, captain Obvious. Let me add you to send some compliments.
When they complain about netdecking but Innkeeper already can import decks.
nice. I don't care too much about the deck-copy, as I almost always make my own decks, but I very much like the quest-a-friend thing!
Now, the real question is who tf puts silverback patriarch in their druid deck
Ben Bode - this is how HS is meant to be played.
Ok, but serously this game has so potential, you can implement a lot of things like new basic hero frame at 1000 wins or REALLY difficult "quests" to get the old season card back even a new quest log would be appriciated. I love this game and i think the developers are doing a great job and this article is a step in the right direction.
Yo dawg, I heard you like netdecking.
That's cool. I hope you can actually send a deck list directly via ingame chat. Currently, there's no way to copy and paste from chat. That's why I have to open the blizzard launcher whenever someone sends me a link.
so we can just copy-pasta decks from this site and others without spending time to add every card on it, looks interesting.
how about if you miss some cards? will work just to add the cards you have and the missing ones to be replaced with what you want?
Finally! But do anyone else remember seeing a post about the golden and non-golden cards stack before on Reddit? Think I have seen it but I ain't sure
netdecking is serious business :)
"Hearthstone’s upcoming update has a lot of cool stuff in it, but we wanted to call special attention to a couple of features that we’re particularly excited about." HYPE!
I'm satisfied
I'm so excited that they finally added an option to import/export decklists! Something that I think is pretty important to a virtual card game.
Thanks, blizzard! you just made netdecking 10x easier!
