In Hearthstone, five cards are being adjusted to interact differently with the game. We will reveal what changes.
From time to time, Blizzard adjusts various cards in Hearthstone to ensure balance in the game and create a fair battlefield. However, this time Blizzard plans changes to address something entirely different: lore and consistency. Various minions do not belong to the correct category, making them inconsistent with the Warcraft story. This will now be changed.
These Hearthstone cards will receive new types
Molten Giant and Mountain Giant will become Elementals. Both giants represent elemental forces in Warcraft, which is why Blizzard is now upgrading them to Elementals.
Witchwood Nymph will become a Demon. The Witchwood Nymph is a female Satyr and thus a Night Elf who became a Demon. From now on, the Nymph will be classified as a Demon, allowing for new interactions with various Warlock cards.
North Sea Kraken will become a Beast. The same applies to the North Sea Kraken. This beast dwells in the oceans and has always been a Beast in World of Warcraft. This will also be the case in Hearthstone.
Jungle Moonkin is no longer a Beast. Conversely, Blizzard is taking a different approach with the Jungle Moonkin. This will no longer be a Beast. The reasoning is that Moonkin in Warcraft are humanoid, thinking beings with culture and do not qualify as Beasts, despite their “wild” appearance.
Witchwood Grizzly gets a new look. Lastly, the appearance of the Witchwood Grizzly is being changed. It will no longer have a spectral form, but an actual body made of flesh and blood. This should make it clear why the Grizzly is considered a true Beast.
No Arcane Dust will be compensated. As these changes are only minor adjustments in terms of lore and consistency, according to Blizzard, no Arcane Dust will be offered as compensation. The cards will retain their basic power, but now a few additional interactions will be possible.
By the way, there is still no exact date for the changes. They are expected to come “with the next major patch.”
What do you think about these changes? A good thing to achieve more clarity and consistency in Hearthstone? Or were the adjustments unnecessary?
