Unbelievable how horrible this revelation is...

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Yey, I wanna play Warcraft with cards!

...NOPE.

 

[Talavaj]

This is either their most brilliant April fools' joke ever or their lamest idea ever.

 

[rcshaggy]

I really fell ashamed sometimes to be liking Blizzard's games sometimes.
Diablo III was a waste of money, but I did love World of Warcraft and Starcraft a bit now.

 

[I3lackDeath]

It's not the idea I dislike, but that obvious feel of marketing.
There's no other reason behind this merchandise.

Blizzard Entertainment's artists mostly do a great job with designs and execution,
and that's what I respect (and admire sometimes), regardless of the circumstances, but they fail to translate their ideas properly on several occasions.
Example: I really loved Diablo 3' story, as generic as it was.
First, I have only watched the cutscenes (no actual gameplay at all), and it felt just like it was supposed to: genuine.
However, once I watched some walkthroughs, I realized that the story was transmitted in such a stiff and apathetic way (lacking interaction and minor cutscenes, mostly).
I partially understood most people's disappointment with the game.
Things started to feel very clinical.

In my very opinion that happens because BLIZZARD is losing reputation. We have a new WoW per year, a suckingballs Diablo 3 and this Heart of the Swarm thing (I don't play Starcraft so I can't judge it). BLIZZARD is trying to lure players with games so he it stays on top. Alright, WoW, diablo and starcraft might do the trick a bit, BUT A CARD GAME!!!???! ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!!????!!

Finally a game playable in the Ipad that doesn't suck still tho i would prefer it for consoles fuck Ipad

 

[Vengeancekael]

I'm kinda excited for this though and it's free to play, so trying it out shouldn't be too hard.

I'd rather break all my fingers.

warcraft universe died after warcraft 3

this.

The artwork of the game is nice though. Maybe i will try it, but i doubt i will pay any money for it.

I watched the video and well, I am not interest even the slightest. It looks so unimportant that it may be April fool's. But what do you expect from Blizzard? It's high time you accepted that Warcraft lore, Blizz decided to continue from RTS to MMORPG aka WoW. There will be no going back to RTS, no War4, maybe future games will have a reference to Warcraft lore but it all remains in WoW.

 

[neo_sluf]

Hmmmm....let see if this game will MORE ENJOYABLE that Yu-Gi-Oh...

 

[Lordkoon]

Wait until monthly contests and 'arena rating' is introduced; then comes the item shop...unlockable cards and stuff like this... we all know Blizzard too well.

Just read through the FAQ and tadaaam

CardGame LOOT lol

We do plan to test the in-game store during the beta test, and players will be able to purchase card packs using their Battle.net Balance or other Battle.net-supported payment methods

Each pack comes with five random cards. Your chance to receive a particular card depends on its rarity: common (white), rare (blue), epic (purple), or legendary (orange)

 

[Garfield1337]

What's with all the hate? The game looks cool.

 

[Bboy Moose]

Hmmmm....let see if this game will MORE ENJOYABLE that Yu-Gi-Oh...

I'm pretty sure it won't be

We can't judge it really though by now

 

[trolman]

pay to win much?

 

[Whitewolf8]

This sums up my thoughts quite nicely.

...Well, that first part at least.

 

[saphiree]

Is this guy for real..?

 

[ldragogode297]

Do any of you know there's already a WoW card game? It wasnt too bad actually, your all pretty much overreacting.

To be honest, the presentation of material seems rather off-tone and dry

 

[Ragon.Slear]

This is great for who like card game
I hope its like Adventure Time Card Wars....

 

[Linaze]

The cheerful art style looks rather appealing, and a fantasy card game could possibly be fun to play, if only for a while. I assume I will play it upon release, considering it is free and all. Something tells me it won't quite be the hit MTG was, though. We'll have to wait and see.

 

[Linaze]

Thoughts?

 

[PROXY]

I Really LOVED the original TCG of wow. It's very fun to play and similar to Magic. Sadly there were nearly no other people in my area that played it too, so I gave it up. I'm so excited to see this happen

ʃ Open Beta
Hearthstone has entered Open Beta! Everyone can now try out the game at www.playhearthstone.com

 

[Razosh]

Shouldn't this be posted on the general gaming forum or the WoW forum since this game is based on characters from World of WarCraft. I like that you've posted this topic and it's a great game but this is not where i expected to find it. I thought this forum was for anything related to the WarCraft series and this game itself is not an official part in that series.
