Hearthstone will focus more on story in the future. We will reveal how the developers are trying to achieve this and what else is planned in this article.
On Twitch, the developers of Hearthstone spoke again about the future of the game and answered some questions from fans. It was mostly about the Arena, the surprises of Un’Goro, and the story opportunities that were left behind. We have compiled the most important statements for you.
Regarding the story of expansions, fans can be excited. From now on, every upcoming addon will feature missions that are included for free.
The Streets of Gadgetzan are seen in this context as a “missed opportunity” and improvements are promised. However, it is still unclear to what extent these tasks will be carried out. It can be doubted whether the developers aim for the scale of an adventure. Ben Brode is definitely “over the moon” – but he generally is.
Many players, however, are skeptical since adventures were removed from the release plan. The accusation is that “Blizzard only wants money now, so there are only cards” – the free missions will have to withstand this criticism.
Evil Beast will be rarer in the Arena
The Evil Beast will be “passively” nerfed in the Arena. Especially in Druid decks, when played with Ramp, the opponent can often pack it in right away. For this reason, they want to reduce the “drop chance” of the Evil Beast in the Arena by a whopping 50%. This should make those unfair moments rarer.
However, the biggest surprise for the developers was that The Journey to Un’goro is so well balanced. Usually, after several weeks, some seemingly unbeatable decks emerge, but this time there is no trace of these candidates. Almost all classes are being played a lot, and for each class, there are two or even three archetypes that are used.
All statements from the interview can be found as usual in our sources.
