Hearthstone teases Halloween-themed event with ‘changes’ for Standard

Blizzard has shared its future plans for Hearthstone, including an exciting change to Standard, new avatars for the class, and other tweaks. In addition, the game will have many new events, the first of which will begin in the next few weeks. The event will feature “Dungeon Run-inspired Tavern Brawls, dual-class Arena, Legendary quest rewards, and some meta changes. While not specifying, Blizzard said it will “share more at the spooky event on October 4…”

Additionally, 23 of the most popular and powerful game-changing cards in Hearthstone history, including Ragnaros the Firelord and N’Zoth the Corruptor, will temporarily leave Wild to return to Standard.

“To make sure everyone can participate in this mix-meta event, we’re giving away these free copies (these copies cannot be crafted or disenchant), so players can join right away.” Blizzard said.

Blizzard has confirmed on Reddit that these cards only return during the event, and at the end they will return to the way they were. About the new class avatars: You’ll need to win 1000 battles for each class to get them. The good news is that the number of wins before the update also counts towards the total, so you may get some classes before the game is updated.

Card search terms have also been updated, including misspellings and simplified names of “nasty” cards, for example, SN1P-SN4P will show up in search if you type “snip” or “snap” “. The new search feature will only detect a few cards in advance, but they will be added “if needed”, and languages ​​other than English will also be supported.

In the long term, Blizzard plans to remove less popular daily quests, add new ones, and change the requirements to make them quicker and easier to complete. Daily quests are divided into two “buckets”, Easy (50 Gold) and Slightly Hard (60 Gold), and when you “reroll” difficult quests will always turn into easy quests to ensure players can complete quests with ease. daily, if that’s what you want. “We love Murloc and Pirate just like everyone else, but you should have the choice to complete those missions or not,” Blizzard said.

The update date for the daily quest has not been revealed, but details of the changes to the Standard, including the list of 23 cards returning to Standard will be announced on October 4.
