I swear there's a guy in Team 5 that's in charge of making up shitty names

Ben: "hey Jack, I need a name for a new Hearthstone original character."

Jack: "tell me about the character."

Ben: "Well, he's a druid, and h.."

Jack: "Dipsy Druidwaggle."

Ben: "you're the best."

Brode already confirmed during last Blizzcon that Druid will be getting this skin

Someone in the audience asked him about exactly this Hamuul Runetotem guy, and Brode made remarks making it rather obvious that this was likely their choice, and confirmed that a Druid skin is coming as the next one in line, regardless.

But you only get it by adopting a Tavern cat, of which 10,000 were released into the wild weeks ago. You then scan your cat in the Battlenet app to unlock Dipsy and 2 Grand Tournament card packs.

All jokes aside, Nemsy really fits into the game's theme quite nicely.

Ennbeard ยท 42 points ยท Posted at 18:57:36 on January 29, 2018 ยท (Permalink)

I like Nemsy, but largely because Warlock is one of those classes that really lacks notable reps, outside of Gul'dan and Cho'Gall (and, arguably, the Eredar lords KJ and Archi-poo). Yes, Medivh shows you can have a hero AND a card, but I think the ONiK Medivh is a little... different character-wise. I feel Kil'Jaeden and Archimonde are likely suited as Cards, not heroes, and Cho'Gall already is.

But I also think a balance needs to be struck. I'm certain that Team 5 is aware of the demand for Hamuul, as it is another nod to actual Warcraft lore, AND gives us a Tauren hero.

Chased him across the world and all the way to Outland when he was released, got captured, was freed, took him down, jailed his corpse out of spite, tries to stage a coup against Malfurion and Tyrande, frees the Demon Hunters, works with Illidan (begrudgingly) when he comes back from the dead and has not-at-all-sexual-tension-filled banter with him.

They were fun and all that it just wasn't my aesthetic. I liked it but I also didn't, aha. MoP was when they started doing stuff that made the world feel more real, such as making flying enemies slightly higher off the ground, at least tree height, when not aggro'd, and all of that attention to detail like that was really cool. But I wouldn't spend a year or two in pandaria, broken shore, Argus, outland or draenor, ever again. You could catch me anywhere in EK, Kali, Northrend though.

I really don't get why new players would be confused nor why it would be a problem. New players won't even know what totem does in the game, or what a druid even is. If they have experiences playing WoW or any games that has Taurens in it, they would know that Runetotem is a druid character. Putting everything aside, even if they get confused, I don't see any negative outcome that might lead from it.

Honestly, I'm willing to give a pass to Nemsy because there's not that many iconic non-Orc Warlocks in WoW...

I mean, Kanrethad Ebonlocke is probably the biggest one ? And he's far from being as iconic as Hamuul or Maraad.

They realise that people who want to play a game like hearthstone and are previously WoW players is a market they've already fully tapped into, where as casuals, females, and young people who TYPICALLY enjoy the "cute" league of legends style of art is something they can draw more from still.

Everything in the game is Warcraft related and the devs already said they don't plan on adding stuff from outside the Warcraft universe. And even before removing the title there was stuff like GvG,TGT and LoE which introduced original characters. The title change had literally no impact on the direction of the game.

Tbh I think the best would be if druid got cenarius or illidan as an alternate hero. Yes I know they are cards already, but lore wise they relate to both malfurian and tryande so well. The interactions you could make would be cool too.

Also this let's these 2 epic characters get some representation in this game, cuz let's face it their cards are not the most optimal

jallerinika ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 18:09:26 on January 29, 2018 ยท (Permalink)

I think Illidan would be a really bad idea, mainly because in the lore, Malfurion and him get taught druidism by Cenarius, and Illidan calls it crap before abandoning that training and embracing the ways of the arcane.

Cenarius sounds cool and all, but he's literally a demigod and visually looks a lot like night elves.

Oh please no. We have enough cows in the game as it is, no need to play as one.

Not like he's notable or interesting in any case, he's just a generic cow druid that the Tauren HAD to have. No personality, no heroics, just "moooo". Might as well have Ormuk be a rogue hero.
