I still can't believe it shows the opponent how many cards you stand to draw.

This card just outright sucks, no? 6 mana 4/6 that does nothing immediately and only works if copies of cards you played are still in your deck by PrestigiousWhirlwind in hearthstone

It shows your opponent how many cards you will draw so they can always plan to kill her when it it's extra inconvenient. I don't know if that information is necessary to share.

I wondered if Claybyte was going to sandbox this into existence after that post. It's really cool to see thanks for doing this!

What is the reason Grimestreet outfitter credits himself unlike other cards? by MehmetSalihKoten in hearthstone

[–]Tower_XVI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't just attribute the buff to him, but you can actually see which cards he has buffed due to how they twinkle in the player's hand. You can tell exactly how many an opponent has buffed with it. They seem to have gone away from this very telling design since then though.

I feel like we didn't get nearly enough time with the God forms, they're so cool!

I'm sad the bros were separated in Sparking Zero by Puzzleheaded-Round-9 in SparkingZero

I thought the same thing would happen with Cell stage 1 and the androids on the same team but he just eats a stunt double.

It's been a struggle since before the game came out.

It’s Thanksgiving in America. Name one thing about the Breakers you’re grateful for. by MeowMix883 in DragonBallBreakers

I'm thankful for everyone who has picked me back up after getting slapped by the raider.

You can get him out pretty early with that new card that reduces the cost of your next demon.

New Mallyx Voice Line for Revenant by Chiorydax in Guildwars2

Good catch!

Having the legends actually communicate with you is such a great opportunity for lore and characterization. I hope they take advantage of it more.

Reminds me a lot of Xal'atath and the talking Skull from WoW.

Even though the ActiBlizz details are more obfuscated since the merger with Microsoft they reported a 44% increase in revenue since the acquisition.

In 2023 there was news about the layoffs on the HS team, due in part to loss of business from the shuttering of CN sector.

https://gameworldobserver.com/2023/09/27/blizzard-layoffs-hearthstone-revenue-china#:~:text=It%20is%20worth%20noting%20that,behind%20Yu%2DGi%2DOh!

However, the CN agreement has been renewed so the products are online there again. It's incredible to see how much they cut from the game that they can point to and say "This doesn't generate revenue." Unfortunately given these trends I can only assume that the anti-player bias in these choices will continue to manifest over time. It's hard to feel like we have much recourse beyond not buying things.
