TAC400 Super Squad Roundtable!
Almost 7 1/2 years of TAC & Hearthstone:
- When did we get on board with the game?/What did we think when we first saw the game?
- Favorite/least favorite meta?
- For Celestalon: Design philosophy - generally talk about how it's changed over time. What it was like when you joined the team/where it is now.
- Biggest challenge in designing HS years in? How do you keep things fresh?
- May we see some mechanics revisited or revamped like Joust.
- Game modes: We had 2 (arena and constructed) and now we have a bunch. How many is too many?
- For Celestalon: How do you balance all the cards and demands of so many communities/player bases?
- Personal favorite HS moment? Could be in-game (ex: winning with Rod of Roasting) or outside of the game (ex: BlizzCon, esports, community events).
- When/how did TAC come on your radar?
Looking forward:
- Stoked for mini sets?
- How about the upcoming BG update?
- What would you like to see in Hearthstone's future? (Yes, it's okay to dig deep into your favorite mode: BG for Slysssa, Standard for Hat/Vigil, trolling Joce with DH for Celestalon)
- For Celestalon - Putting Zeph to bed: Since Zeph is rotating and is basically Celestalon's baby, final thoughts. Did he work, did he do what you hoped for, any changes or things you wish you'd done differently, will we see something like him again?
