Alpha Patch #1 - Achievements, Card Changes, Strings
Update: All card tooltips have been fixed and you should now see the right cards. Let us know if you are encountering any issues.
New Card Frames
Just over a week ago, Blizzard announced that we would be seeing new card frames that "make each class more visually distinctive at first (and second!) glance". Beta Patch 1 introducedHere's all the old frames beside the new ones. Note: The Mage and Rogue cards kept the same portrait border but the quality of the card has increased.
Druid
Hunter
Mage
Paladin
Priest
Rogue
Shaman
Warlock
Warrior
Minion Sound Effects - Attack, Death, Play
Sound effects have been added to thirty-seven minion cards. Each card has a sound for when it attacks, dies, and comes into play.
Paladin Ability Sound Effects
Sound effects were also added to half of the paladin ability cards.
You know I only now realised that Minions have an ovaloid border and abilities a square one. /slowpoke xD
Not sure if I approve of breaking the traditional class colours like they did. I mean if Warrior gets a red background what are they going to do for DK's? DK = red. Going to be rather confusing for new players that come from WoW.
Clearly we're never going to see DKs implemented. It's a little strange seeing Paladins with yellow borders.. pink was visually unique enough already just needed a bit more hue. It's only alpha though so maybe we'll see it change once again.
Hunter, paladin and warrior card changes are really good. And also yay for that trademark murloc grrl :D
