We will eventually but not in the next couple months because we can't re-use any of the dragons in the game except Sleepy.

In the mean time we plan to keep adding new heroes and balancing out the minion types so that there are larger variety of reasonable builds.

Amazing, he even wields the Scales of Justice!

It's weird how those tokens don't add up damage, when all other 1/1's do.

The plant tokens are bugged and will be fixed in a patch soon.

Tokens should all deal 1.

So like, general consensus, what's THE most insane gold minion? Probably some 6 star right?

Maybe Golden Brann Bronzebeard?

This is probably one of the rarest interactions in this game mode. Congrats on getting it.

Yeah we built this "just in case" any madman actually pulled it off.

Golden Zerus shifts through golden minions, it is pretty sweet. Like people said, it needs to be 3 in one turn, or you have unshifted zerus in play.

So what's going on with hearthstone lately? Games been excessively buggy, did the team get downsized or something?

Nope! Just launched an entirely new, major mode and that definitely can cause some issues on the backend. The team has been hard at work to fix all the bugs!

Hey, I played this week's tavern brawl until it got disabled, I have gotten 7 wins and 0 losses.

Now that there are 3 cards, not 4 and my deck is still there with 4 cards, I can't search for a match ; or edit my deck ; or claim any rewards ; I wish I was able to play right now.

Edit:

I just found out there is a button to retire in the tavern on mobile. It doesn't work.

And at this point you should payback the players for all those issues; good luck guys.

This is related to the note above, that says:

"NOTE: We have identified an issue in which some players may still be unable to play Tavern Brawl. The team is working to resolve this as soon as we can."

Sorry about that folks, we're trying to track down a fix ASAP.

Hey Folks,

 

As mentioned yesterday in this post, we came across some major issues that resulted in us needing to disable Tavern Brawl. Right now, we are re-enabling Tavern Brawl and have swapped it over to a new one, Top Three.

 

NOTE: We have identified an issue in which some players may still be unable to play Tavern Brawl. The team is working to resolve this as soon as we can.

 

In addition, this Tavern Brawl was something that players needed to buy into and offered rewards that some players have been unable to claim. This isn’t OK and we intend to make it right for players. Stay tuned for more details soon!

 

Cheers,
The Hearthstone Team

We playtested Sylvanas and Faceless and it was too busted!

We used to have a hero that made your left most minion poisonous (Putricide) so we passed over unstable ghoul. Now that he gives +10 attack (+20 in the future actually) we can include ghoul.

We are adding an existing Demon in December, bonus points if you can guess which one.

I'm a bit confused on MMR, I thought if you were top 4 you gained MMR but I lost MMR instead when I got 4th?

If the average MMR of the game is lower than yours (you got relatively easy opponents) then 4th place can cause an MMR loss. In these games you need top 3 to gain MMR.

As more people start climbing ranks this happens very rarely.

I doubt they are. Just an odd little placeholder, no?

These are not collectible cards, so if something looks like it has a low mana cost don't worry about it.

I literally downloaded this game on my phone because I have played AutoChess games before in my phone and they are fun but OMG, my phone has 4 GB of ram and I have had literally 7 or so turns that I can't finish over 3 games because animations take too much time!

I am a designer but I know the engineering team is working hard on phone improvements every patch. Some went in yesterday and I am pretty sure more will be in the next patch too.

Make a change so that people get more points for a win and for a loss.

That makes it sound like you get more points for losing (which I assume is outside top four). Which sometimes is natural if you're the lowest guy in a game given peoples range of MMR.

If so that's good. MMR needs to be more volatile than it is.

ok, I clarified thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for all the feedback on battlegrounds MMR and how it feels.

We sat with engineers and talked through how it works and decided on a change that will help with the issues.

We are going do 2 things. 1. Post explaining how it works. 2. Make a change so that people get more points for a win and lose more for a loss.

The future post will go into more details on this.

Thanks for the polite, clear feedback - it really helped us know what to look for and how to address it.

Not sure, Open Beta doesn't have an end date currently.
