Curse of Naxxramas Updates
Aratil has been giving some updates on Naxx on the official forums this past week:
It’s July 5th and pricing for Naxx has still not been announced. Aratil original stated that pricing would be announced on July 1st. Aratil posted earlier this week saying:
“Adventure Mode is a completely new thing for us; in fact, Hearthstone itself is still quite new. There are a lot of factors to consider when determining pricing and we want it to feel accessible to newer players as well as obtainable by players who do not wish to spend real money. This requires not only a lot of research on our part, but also a lot of back and forth on what could work and what won't. In fact, it took us a while to even determine that we wanted to separate the Curse of Naxxramas Adventure Mode into different wings”.
He continued to say that when he announced that Naxx pricing details would be revealed on July 1st he was unaware that there was still one more round of internal review going on regarding pricing.
Aratil also commented on Team 5’s current focus on the Naxx development:
“Our primary focus now is on bug fixing and getting the game ready for ship. The team has fixed over 200 bugs just in the last week alone, and new bugs continue to be discovered. After all of the identified bugs have been addressed, the game will still need to undergo several rounds of quality assurance tests to ensure that the game is ready.”
