What then is the purpose of in-game chat? Social interaction? Do you need to talk card strat, deck strat when all of that can be done outside of the game?

@Rubinlibelle-2843

For example what if I wanted to play some friendly games now? Going through my friends list aksing “hey, do you want to play?”, “hey, do you want to play?”, “hey, do you want to play?” until I find someone? I certainly won’t do that anymore. I use the Reddit Discord because that’s way better for finding people that actually want to play some friendly games instead of like Ranked or whatever.

I guess you have Discord. But it would be nicer if already implemented into the game client itself. (Just like a deck tracker for that matter.)

@euryleia-1781

What do you envision that could bring to the table to worth the effort going into developing this new feature?

Yeah, it might not be worth it. But maybe they will make eventually something like this:

Tables, A Way To Play Hearthstone With Your Own Rules. (Gamemode Concept)

https:// outof.cards/forums/hearthstone/hearthstone-general/2665-tables-a-way-to-play-hearthstone-with-your-own-rules This is a concept for a way to play Hearthstone with your own rules, such as Tournament Mode, Endless Adventure, 2V2 (Two Headed Ogre), Tables of Time, and My Table. Please read and spread the word, Team 5 WILL put at least one of these modes into the game if we stay vocal about it. Feedback is appreciated.

And for that it would be very good if we had something like a lobby for such custom game modes.

But until then I agree. It’s probably not worth it. (And that sucks.)

@euryleia-1781

And whatever you envision, do you imagine the abuses that could come from it? Would we need moderators?

This game is so streamlined as of now. Do you think bringing in a new Chat team is worth all of the anger, raging people feel when they’ve been slighted? This forum is full of thin-skin gamers. I expect the game itself will have even more people easily offended at the smallest things, and that’s without courting the trolls.

Why is this always such a big concern? You shouldn’t force it upon people and make everything optional. Even now if you accept a friend request you can get “abused” (but you really shouldn’t be offended at such things anyways). But just in case and of course if the other is too annoying with spamming whatever you can just either not accept the friend request in the first place or de-friend them. And the same should apply to such “guilds” (or however one might call it). If really necessary they could even put a warning up.
