Have you ever played a Demon Hunter in Hearthstone ? With a mod, it’s possible.
Since the launch of the card game, fans have been demanding that Blizzard finally implement the still missing classes in Hearthstone. All classes that came to the MMORPG after the base version of World of Warcraft are not available in the card game. Blizzard has repeatedly stated that they are currently not working on implementing the still missing classes – namely Monk, Death Knight, and Demon Hunter – in Hearthstone. Doing so would cause significant issues with the current relatively good balance of the game.
However, because fans are impatient and can often work faster on their own than the developers of major game studios, there are already some modifications and standalone programs that largely recreate Hearthstone and add new cards and classes.
You can tell in many places that the modification does not reach the quality of real Hearthstone. Especially animations and sounds leave much to be desired, and minor bugs can also be found repeatedly. A small impression of the possibilities is shown in this video:
Blizzard itself does not support such modifications. However, as you do not have to log in with a Battle.net account in this case, users are likely not at risk of punishment – but the creators of such modifications certainly are, as they are likely committing several copyright violations.
Nevertheless, it is exciting to see what could be done with a class like the Demon Hunter and new mechanics. The creativity of the community knows few bounds.
