Just a quick post to let everyone know that you can now link to cards from Hearthstone anywhere on the site. As a demonstration, just hover over the link below to see what I’m talking about, and check out this post by yours truly to see an example for how you might use it on the site. Enjoy! Angry Chicken To do this on the forums, all you need to type to do so is to type the name of the card and then link it to the card’s page on Hearthpwn.com.

Here’s a direct quote from Dayvie over on the Blizzard forums: We’ve listened to recent feedback and wanted to provide our thoughts on HotS balance since the last patch.1. At the top pro level, Terran looks to be slightly weaker than the other races, and we’d like to start testing possible changes.2. In terms of recent tournament wins, the three races are performing quite evenly.3. Protoss and Zerg both seem to be performing well at the top level in terms of tournament wins and overall performance.We’d like to be prepared with a general Terran buff while continuing to carefully evaluate Terran performance in both TvP and TvZ. We have some ideas for general Terran buffs that we’d love to get feedback on. Additionally, we’d love to hear feedback on other areas that could help Terran while also making the games more exciting to watch and play.Medivac Medivac harass has been getting weaker since the beginning of HotS due to players improving at defending against them. If we increase the strength of Medivacs, we’d not only help out Terran on both matchups, but also help provide even more action-packed games to watch. We wonder if buffing the unload speed or increasing the duration of the speed boost slightly would help in a positive way.Widow Mine Widow Mines are quite core in both TvP and TvZ. They’re also one of the most exciting units to watch and create lots of diverse moments depending on the players’ interaction with them within each engagement. We’re currently considering a slight increase to the splash radius of Widow Mines, which we believe could be a good direction...

I’ve pulled the trigger today on finishing the integration of the rest of the site with the forums. Now, assuming all goes well, all posts made here should show up as topics in the News category of the forums, and all comments made on this post here will show up as replies on the forums as well, and vice versa. Not only that, but there is now a single sign-on between the two. Register once and you’ll be able to log on to both. I’m not entirely sure what this means for people who already had an account on the site, but if you had an account on the new forums (new as of about two weeks ago), then you should be good to go. Please try this out by posting to some of the news both here and on the forums and let’s work out any glitches, even though I’m not really expecting any. 😛 Also expect further tweaks to the site’s overall design and style. The first tweak will be to find a better wallpaper -.- and then to play around with adding in a few other colors and eliminating some more of the ugly “grays” (like this text color for posts) left behind from the original themes before I ripped into them and replaced nearly everything. Just gotta catch the few stragglers left behind! P.S. Just wanted to mention again, thank Reminis for our new logo both on the site and...
