The Hearthstone Team Has Borkers and Kittehs - January 2019
In an important update this afternoon, the Hearthstone team has released the January 2019 edition of the Hearthstone Pupdate.
Quote from BlizzardA lot of magic, machinations, and memeing go on behind closed doors at the Hearthstone development team. An assistant (or several) is often required. So without further ado, meet the good boys and girls of the Hearthstone development team!
Administrative
Kippen is Organized since he is on the Administrative team! If you need proof of that, just look at how neatly he keeps his tail tucked in when he’s lying down.
Production
Toby helps wrangle the team up and keep them in line so production moves like clockwork. He’s also really good at math.
Art
Mini Golden Retriever Harley helps with the art outsourcing when necessary. Otherwise, he is busy with the most important task of the day: napping.
Mishu brings a different perspective to things since she’s a cat, and that’s helpful for projects that she and Harley collaborate on. She also wants you to remember that out of all the cats in Hearthstone, she is Best Cat.
Business
Gary works on Hearthstone business things. Don’t let the fluff fool you—he is one shrewd businessdog.
Design
Leela lives far from the office and only comes in for special projects with the design team. Leela staunchly believes that there’s no such thing as a bad idea, which is why she continues to insist on a “Beg for Treats” emote option.
Engineering
When it comes to Hearthstone, this dog might lose a little, but he Wins-a-Ton. Keeping everyone company in the Engineering department, Winston’s latest project is discovering how to automate behind-the-ear scratches.
Business Intelligence
With the perfect name to match his shining disposition, Sunny brightens our days with his keen insights into all things business intelligence.
Quality Assurance
Nimbus can usually be found hard at work testing the game in the QA department. Gary and Nimbus have a long-standing friendly rivalry over who is the better cloud.
These are just some of the pets who support Hearthstone behind the scenes! Want to see more Hearthstone pupdates? Let us know on Twitter or Facebook!
Awwwwww ! :)
New playable heroes maybe? Each one summon/interact with a pet?
9 Pets 9 Hero powers ?
Dunno, but I prefer more mature expansion themes tbh.
Didn't spot that before... OK, tin foil hat time. Next expansion will feature a new type of card: 'Pets'. You heard it here first.
not falling for this trick
I love that one is named Winston. I like Nimbus!
Also laughed to myself when I imagined the Diablo dev guy from Blizzcon saying "Do you guys not have pets!?" As a response to wtf is this, why are you posting this?
Ок. Dog bias, buff cats.
Yes
That's an update!
This is so cringy and puerile even for my cat.
Are they trying to stop me paying for this game?
Guys, it’s still too early to start hyping the next expansion but we really should post something.....
*eyeballs picture of Mr. Gooddoggy on his desk*
They didn't need to post this garbage, and I didn't need to type this comment either. But they did, and so I did.
So... what does this "news" mean for us?
no
Whoever owns Winston should be fired
I love dogs and own one,but one question..
Who the fuck cares?
I CARE ABOUT THOSE DOGS!
that's a lie, i don't. i have no idea why they posted this. its stupid
Brent does.
And than hearthpwn repost it, because it is important hearthstone news...
Not the worst, but many of them are annoying as f...k! ;)
Anyone with photo editing skills could render this in 5 minutes on their break, I'm not too concerned about these guys "wasting resources" for this post. I thought it was fun, cute and harmless.
