Jaina Proudmoore Tutorial Voiceovers, Fireside Chat #2

Twisting Nether Board Effect, Fireside Update, Hero Voiceover Recap

Blizzard held the 2013 Fansite Mixer today at their headquarters in Irvine, California. We spoke with the Hearthstone developers during a Q&A session and have some things to share with you.

There is a tutorial that uses Jaina as the player's hero. After the tutorial, players will start out with Jaina as their main deck.

More decks (classes) will be unlocked as they play Jaina and the other heroes.

Players will be given daily quests that they can complete to earn rewards.

A concede option is available for players who want to forfeit a duel.

There will be some cross promotion with World of Warcraft. The "mtg genre" is a genre that hasn't gotten the love it deserves.

The game will be fully localized in different regions.

Devs want to put in stuff the community think is right for the game (Examples: 2v2, Spectator mode)

There is interest in supporting a Hearthstone esport based on how the community wants to see it.

Aside from being free to play, the game is a small download which makes getting into it easy.

Possibility of cosmetic options for microtransactions.

Pushing for players to play multiplayer instead of single player. Daily quests to defeat opponents will help.

In-game card searching will be filtered by keywords

Dev team consists of mixed levels of TCG experience.
