After the end of the hearthstone new version of the anchor trial, everyone should also have a preliminary impression of the new version, and the design team also opened a Q&A activity again, several designers answered the player's questions, supplemented the design of the new version, and also shared some of the new version of the development process, let's take a look!
Landmark card
The new version introduced a new card type: landmarks, for how to evaluate the landmark, or have to try to know, but the birth of the landmark can be said to be more tortuous, before Iksar also mentioned in the Twitter Q&A, as early as the idea of designing landmark cards in the barren land, Otranch launched the target location spell as an alternative, and the Landmark Card in Nastia Castle was officially debuted, in the early design, the landmark card needed to occupy two entourage slots, and a entourage needed to be inserted in the landmark to take effect , the companion will drop the landmark durability after death, a bit of a sense of occupying the terrain, but because it is too complicated, and it requires the companion to occupy to take effect and is not very easy to use, it eventually abandoned this version of the design.
At present, it has been determined that the landmark card must be permanent, although it will not be launched frequently in the future, but it is still possible to see one or two in a version, and I don't know whether the landmark card is good or not. Speaking of residency, Iksar's attitude towards tradable card residency was more positive before, but in this Q&A, the design team's response was a bit vague, and said that we are also considering other mechanisms that can be resident, is it said that we have found a better option?
Note that
Not only the landmark card, the design of the injection energy has also been modified in many versions, the name has also been changed from "heart energy hunger" to the current short name, according to the design team, the original name of the injection mechanism is called heart energy, is a mechanism similar to the red crystal, there are some followers to produce heart energy, there are some followers to consume heart energy, see this mechanism everyone is not a familiar feeling, this is not the boar man in the tavern wargames, even the blood gem color is red. Later, it was also because of the small difference and the complexity of the mechanism that it was overturned.
In fact, speaking of red crystal, as early as the Gargieson version, there was a rumor to launch the red crystal mechanism, until Kazakus appeared again, and there was a saying to produce red crystal, I don't know when it really came out. The final design of the note card can be seen that the Hearthstone team wants to return Hearthstone to the rhythm of the entourage exchange, but whether this idea can be realized is really difficult to say, and it can only be experienced after the new version is launched.
Skeleton law and relic blindness
Skeleton method and relic blind is the new version of the original routine, almost version of the limited routine, the future version is unlikely to strengthen, for this deck, the design team said that each version will try to achieve a balance in the wild and limited routine, even if this routine does not reach the expected ideal form, there are follow-up mini series can make up for the reinforcement, of course, in the introduction of the limited system at the same time can not forget the reinforcement of the traditional routine, so the skeleton method and the holy relic blind such components are not particularly much. For this point The breeze is still very emotional, want to achieve balance is still very difficult, has been to strengthen the traditional routine will be said fried cold rice, out of the limited routine will be sprayed after will not be strengthened, for example, the breeze will see some people say that the shaman is evolved, totem, fish people turn to come, no novelty, but when the ice is out, there are still many people spraying.
Light cast deck
The light casting deck is an unpopular routine of the paladin, the effect requires that there are no neutral cards in the card library, because the original card name has the word "light casting", so it is called the light casting card, the design team said that the current pure professional card deck is intended to be a knight feature, there is no idea of a similar routine for other classes, but it does not rule out the possibility of subsequent changes, such as the designer feels that the druid and the warlock are very suitable. Incidentally, the comment area mentioned the spell hunting of that year, in a sense, it is also a pure professional card group, but the original spell hunting is to cooperate with the Jiba system, which is a neutral card.
with World of Warcraft
As we all know, Hearthstone has now removed the subtitle of The Legend of Warcraft Heroes, but this does not mean that Hearthstone has completely got rid of World of Warcraft, at least from the current point of view, Hearthstone has not yet come out of the theme of completely detached from the World of Warcraft world view, of course, occasionally will be the World of Warcraft magic reform, such as the Sunshine Psychic Academy, Hearthstone team said, Blizzard has a team specifically responsible for coordinating the background story, Hearthstone will often consult them about the world of Warcraft background story, For example, when I was a mercenary warrior, I consulted about Mavi's hair color settings when I was young.
Speaking of World of Warcraft, there is a more special orange card in this new version: Draka, Draca in the setting of World of Warcraft, was a brave warrior before death, entered the Shadow Realm after death, joined Madrauxas to become a thief, this is a card that is particularly suitable for dual occupations, but unfortunately this version does not have a related design, so finally gave the thief, Iksar mentioned before that he wanted to return the dual-class mechanism, I don't know if Draka can come up with another version.
And Hearthstone's magic attributes, so that many things that can't be seen in the World of Warcraft can be displayed in Hearthstone, for example, in the new version of the Pass skin, Tyrand actually became a Grian of the Promotion Fortress, but in fact, Tyrand, as the God of War on the Moon and Night, even if he enters the Shadow Realm in the future, most of them are also going to the Blazing Blue Fairy Field. This gives players a lot of room to imagine, and even some players ask if they can come up with other covenant versions of Denasius the Great, designer Cora said that although there is no such plan, the Blazing Blue Fairy Wild version of Denasius the Great is really cool.
When it comes to skins, some players have said that whether they can produce points is not Nemshi's skin, and Celestalon said that there will be some warlock skins that are not Nemxi in the future, but they still have to live with this dwarf for a while. To tell the truth, the new version of the pass skin belongs to Nemxi's crotch, looks like a big head sister, and this is already two consecutive versions of Nemxi's skin is very ugly, obviously people are a very cute Lolita.
Tavern wargames
In addition to the new version of the player is more concerned about the content of the ladder, but also very concerned about the update of the tavern wargames, from the anchor trial release of the news, the achievement of more robber king Wagel information, means that the new version will launch such a new hero, designer Celestalon said that the new version of the tavern wargames will have some changes, but also include some new things, but the main update of the tavern wargames, or get the first big version update patch.
Finally, by the way, this time Hearthstone officially designed a script for "The Unsolved Case of Nastia Fort", and invited the famous anchors of the extranet and even team members of Team5 to perform, although in the end it was not really staged as Qingfeng imagined (but a web-connected poetry recitation...). But it's also very interesting, it seems that the Hearthstone team is still very concerned about the new version, very much looking forward to the new version officially launched, and can't wait to play it.
