I know our favourite pastime on this subreddit is complaining, but we gotta hand it to the team: this new UI fucking SLAPS. There's still room for improvement (small fonts?) but I really think they achieved a good balance here. It looks sleek, modern, streamlined, no billion buttons on the left and right, I find it really easy to check what I want on Journal.

I've been jaded with HS for a very long time and (correctly) dreaded every new bloat and change, but this feels like a small correct step for Hearthstone as a product IMO. Am I the only one?

It is too random. I have made combos that allow me to infinitely clear their board for 4 mana and had the same against me. Some are just worse than the original minion. I say all this as an evolve player who thrives on randomness. They need to figure it out, especially if the minion pool expands.

I love Tamsin Roame as a character. I think she’s such a cool Hearthstone original character and I think that the lore we have for her so far is super interesting. I really hope Hearthstone will develop her character more, maybe exploring more of her relationship with Cariel. That’s the post, just wanted to share my love of Tamsin.

(I'm fully guilty of this too btw)

An assemble option during tavern brawl game.

My client is in Polish by the way

Saw a few posts this morning already gaining traction hating on it, which bummed me out. I think it’s completely harmless and because I know no WoW lore + like flavor text, I find it interesting. I like that it’s voice acted, too.

As for working towards a “reward” (grinding through the entire thing in a day and change) and being disappointed with the “prize” (a pack), that feels like it’s missing the point imo.

This isn’t an event quest to grind, it’s designed to be something passively being advanced while you’re interacting with the new expansion / cards over an extended period. It’s so unobtrusive and has such little impact on existing gameplay that I don’t get why it’d bother anyone so much just by existing alongside it. It’s more like “flavor text with a pack as a bonus”, not a “gauntlet with the only reward for your effort being a pack”. It wasn’t really advertised as the latter.

Just wanted to see if I was alone in this feeling. Of course none of us can really speak for the MILLIONS of HS players that do NOT use Reddit whatsoever, and whether or not it’s resonating with them. “My one college friend who plays Hearthstone doesn’t use Reddit and he thinks it’s lame” isn’t a big enough sample size lol. Anecdotally it’s unpopular here, at least.

This also isn’t to say that the feature can’t be iterated upon / made more robust / improved in different ways. This is its first time being in the game and it will surely be adjusted based on feedback + behind the scenes engagement numbers (what they really care about, not Reddit).

I don’t personally find it to be that lacking, but again more can always be added to it, and they’re probably inclined to; they invested resources into making a whole new UI for a feature that doesn’t directly generate money for Blizzard, which feels unheard of nowadays. Scrapping it entirely would make it a complete waste.

TLDR: I like the Journal and I hope they continue with it + stuff like it. The way I see it only adds to my existing Hearthstone experience (its implementation has removed nothing that was already existing in the game prior to the update; it isn’t intended to be a 1:1 replacement for solo adventures by any means, nor does it claim to be. Adventures have been dead for many years now, and they’ve shown no signs of wanting to directly replace them). And the “reward” isn’t intended to be an impressive “grand prize”, it’s a freebie to go with the story.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Assembled this handsome looking card draw. Would it work to infinite and beyond?

Relax. I already know. Can't wait for Evoker.
