In Blizzard’s free card game Hearthstone, the Naxxramas board can now also appear in regular play.
The board on which you play in Hearthstone is the favorite playground of all those gamers who like to indulge in their gaming and fiddling impulses while waiting for their opponent’s turn. So, guys and gals who will tear apart every beer mat in 742 individual pieces in the pub and take the wax candle for dessert.
There are catapults that can be fired, windows that open, some lanterns: It is a playground for anyone who considers procrastination not something improper, but rather a way of life!
With Naxxramas, the expansion, a new board came into play where you could dip the mouse cursor into some green goo at the edge to see what happens. Just what one does.
Previously, the Naxx board was only used in the boss fights against Kel’Thuzad’s minions. Thanks to a hotfix from Blizzard last night, it is now included in the usual rotation, meaning it can appear in the Arena or Play mode. At the moment, there’s some speculation about whether the board will only be used for October, in line with the spooky Hallow’s End festivities. However, the trend seems to be that it will stay permanently in the game.
This was a blunt response from Blizzard community manager Christina Simms, CM_Zeriyah, to a post on reddit: A player noticed the unusually green and undead playground they found themselves in.
Although this is not exactly the announced expansion with over 100 cards or the Android port, it is certainly a bit of variety. A lot will likely happen in Hearthstone around the Blizzcon at the beginning of November or shortly after. Announcements regarding the Android/iPhone port and the next expansion are expected.
