But that's not the only tool in the shed. It has been used every year since - twice this year, even. The Hearthstone team is so committed to this idealogical evergreen set that the Hall of Fame had to be introduced in the first place. Some cards that 'help identify the strengths and weaknesses' of a class are so core, that it takes rigorous, powerful expansion mechanics like Genn Greymane and Baku the Mooneater's for those evergreen cards not to be included. Meanwhile, as seasoned Hearthstone players will know, the evergreen set keeps being a problem in Standard. Of course, if such a player eventually wanted to invest in Standard again, having a Basic and Classic set available there means they'll have to invest less to catch up compared to the Basic and Classic set being Wild-only. They go to Wild, where the collection they knew and loved is still fully available.
HEARTHSTONE NEW CARDS FULL
I'll have to admit that I don't have access to full data like Blizzard does, but when looking around me I've noticed that players who've taken a break from actively playing Hearthstone don't go to Standard. Though as we know, reality is often disappointing. The Core Hounds, the Goldshire Footmans."
"The true evergreen set consists of cards outright unplayable already. A great idea in theory, as it would allow players who left the game and returned a year later to still have a chunk of their collection available for Standard play. The Basic and Classic sets in Hearthstone will be in the Standard format forever, if it's up to Blizzard, thus will always be available to use for players. You see, Blizzard has set their minds on something most veteran Hearhstone players have either opposed since the beginning or started opposing over the years: an evergreen set. I don't want them to have immediate impact on the meta. As a matter of fact, I think some of these effects are still a bit too flashy. These cards aren't very inspiring of inspired. If your first thought while glancing over these cards is "eh, not too exciting to be honest" then I have to agree with you. To refresh the mind, here are the cards that'll be nestling themselves in the Basic and Classic set soon: Let's say that broadly speaking class identities were laid out with the "hole-filling cards" designed accordingly. The post overlooks some clear examples contradicting the developers' statements Shamans, for example are supposed to be weak at card generation, but a quick browse through the collection will have you run into Hagatha the Witch, Krag'wa the Frog. This gave the developers a good chance to take a good look at each class' identity and re-establish what a certain class is good and weak at. "I don't want the new cards to have immediate impact on the meta.
Some gaps have been there for a while, like those of Ragnaros and Sylvanas, others have only just been created, like the gaps of Naturalize and Divine Favor. The icing on the cake came this week, when Blizzard announced a mid-expansion Hall of Fame rotation of Vanish and Mind Blast, and 10 brand new cards that will fill the holes in the Basic and Classic sets left by the other Hall of Fame rotations. One week a handful of cards get nerfed, the next week a total of 18 other cards received buffs and a new legendary is added in a special event. To Team 5's credit, the content flow of card changes in Hearthstone has never been better than it has been this expansion. But even the latest adventure, the Dalaran Heist, "the biggest Solo Adventure Hearthstone has seen yet" got repetitive disappointingly quickly when I came across the same enemies in all five wings. Sure, the single player content Blizzard has added is a nice addition, a distraction to change the pace every now and then. In Hearthstone and all other card games the biggest buzz is, unsurprisingly, generated when new cards arrive. Even without adding guns CS:GO rotates maps, changes guns' cost and damage values. In MOBAs small tweaks keep the game in what seems to be a perpetually changing state. Gamers latched to a game of their liking love nothing more than seeing support of the developer to keep the game vibrant and alive, omitting an eventual 'death' once content flow stops and the game grows stale. Content updates get game communities buzzing - a tale as old as games themselves.
