Why is there no classic mode? It's the only good mode?

Why is there no classic mode?

They removed it, duh.

By the way, breaking news :turtle: : Naxx has been released.

With that saidā€¦

Itā€™s the only good mode?

Well, it was one of, yes.

Well, there have been plenty of topics and discussions, for example: Introducing Hearthstoneā€™s New Mode: Twist! - #35 by SparkyElf-2852.

Nope. Thatā€™s what some forum geniuses, who were thinking that they were thinking (surely they were capable of it), were thinking :grinning: , but yes:


As for the actual reason for the Classic mode, sadly, being discontinued, Iā€™m gonna leave a link to this intevriew with the developers:

In particular:

Sadly, Hearthstone has decided to get rid of Classic and replace it with Twist.

Hearthstone is doing this for two major reasons. First, like the Mercenaries mode Hearthstone introduced in the same patch, Classic simply isnā€™t popular anymore. ā€œUltimately, Classic is a static format. No new cards are added to it, the meta doesnā€™t change, and there are no new balance adjustments,ā€ London said, ā€œbecause of the static nature to it, engagement waned over time.ā€ Though it had an initial spike in popularity, interest dropped quickly.

The second reason is that, with many cards being updated for modern Hearthstone, some cards act differently in Classic. London said, "One of our commitments for Twist is that weā€™re hoping there will only be one version of each card across all the formats.ā€ Now that Classic is gone, players wonā€™t have to memorize two copies of certain cards.

That bit about ā€˜the same patchā€™ (as Mercs) by the author of the article is a bit weird, but otherwise, thatā€™s apparently it.
