Simple changes to make hs twice as fun

Hey everyone,

this is my first post on the blizzard forums and I am looking forward to meeting some new friends and players on blizzard games!

My name is Graham and I have been with blizzard as an OG 2006 started playing WoW, basically #HARDCORE VETERAN
To the point…

So I eventually tried out new blizzard games overwatch and the most powerful feature I think you developers could add is the customization (simple of course with the

hearthstone vibes

) something as simple as choosing voice lines for each emote. In my opinion the voice lines are very off of what they are meant to say. “evil draws close” dh saying hello for example. I think without barely any effort on the developer side you guys could implement some kind of new customization features for standard/wild. I love where mercenaries is going and the art and all together the game type has a more luxurious swanky feel to it. I really hope this can be considered as I mostly love hearthstone for the customization aspect of it and how creative you can be with the cards. I would definitely LOVE to see more portraits available, on the store and maybe for gold.

Summary:

portrait emote alternatives or replacements (also maybe add an lol emote)
more portraits and overall user friendly ways to really bring the feel of each game to a new level.

Put as much quality on graphics to standard/wild like mercenaries
possible new features like titles or badges or some kind of trophy to keep for dominating a season. I love getting titles on wow and something like "Darkmoon Gladiator “playername” would be epic!

board customization choices, like maps or something to make it feel like wow arenas or something like battlegrounds does on hs.

honestly battlegrounds on hearthstone has exactly what I’m suggesting, and there is an insane amount of cosmetic and custom experiences to work with. Imagine standard with effect customizations such as the battlegrounds party effect or battlegrounds ice effect with lich king, and so on.

I understand that battlegrounds is higher amount of players, but the competitive strategizing in standard/wild has a more competitive feel to me.

I think I’ve made my point, but I, as a huge supporter and long time player of blizzard games think that each game mode should be just as good as any other game mode in the game.

Anyways thanks for checking this out and have a fantastic day fellas :love_you_gesture: :metal:

I’d love an option to purchase more voice lines. Maybe even have voice lines as a reward. Great idea.

I love the idea, but everything is so expensive already. Considering what we already pay…some of this should be baseline add ins for value. Considering the bilions they take in every year, they can afford it.

I agree although I love when they add rare items for buy/or 1500 gold to save money.
I think if we had more opportunities to use gold OR money, that could bring a lot of hype and maybe even increase player base. The game right now is heavily relied on real money to customize and even have 1 deck without buying a mini pack or card packs. Either way, it would be a step in the right direction with REAL money to buy new customization features such as voice line customization or more hero’s to choose from, kind of like in battlegrounds, I see soooo many things that would be amazing to have in standard modes.

They would have to increase the opportunities for gold first for that part. As for the money part…I think going too far that way might lead to a HoTS situation.

It’s not the lack of customization that is leading to a player slump (there’s plenty of options right now they could bring into the shop for gold, as they promised in the past ot do), it’s the state of the game, as a quick trip around the whole forums will show them, if they ever really looked here.

It’s fine to do new stuff with money at the start for those who have it, but they have fallen short for offering gold (both in making it and for good options for spending it) in the new system.

It’s a company after all. Their not in the business to give things away for free. I hear you though. I too think the prices for cards is kind of expensive.

I think since traditional hearthstone standard is the main bracket for e-sports tournaments there should definitely be more options of customization, for example simply choosing or voting on a map (board) and a few more interactive features, sometimes when I play against someone I just want to press the lol button but it ends up being some random quote lol.
I made this thread to hopefully get blizzards attention. I mean these suggestions, (money wise) could improve their profit by millions if that’s what the aim is, although many say they are being greedy, I think it is just a successful set of games. Anyone else think adding voice line alternatives or even simpler… some kind of fx like the finisher moves in BG’s.

At the same time adding them back in the shop for gold later means the people who bought them for money already paid for them, and the company already isn’t giving something away at that point. But they are clearly heading way too far in the opposite direction, as diablow payportal shows.

diablow payportal makes the ea lootboxes look like charity work by comparison.
