[Interview] Enjoy the Journey of King Rich, the 'Hearthstone' expansion pack

[ Moon Byung-soo] The next expansion pack of the popular card game 'Hearthstone' will be released on December 7th.

The Rich King's march features the evil hero 'Rich King' Arthur Genesis, who played in the Warcraft worldview, and you can see the new job 'Knight of Death' and 203 new cards.

The article of Death, which is added as the 11th job of Hearthstone, holds 'grilled dash' as a hero ability and uses blood, cold and fraudulent magic. The new minions 'Undead' and the new keyword 'Manage' will emerge to enjoy the fun of the new deck.

In addition, the entire 'frozen throne knights' cards are temporarily incorporated into regular warfare until the launch of the Rich King's march, and anyone can use it for free as a key set.

Blizzard set up an online interview for the Rich King's march, which is about to be released next month. Chad nun Big Senior Game Designer and Korea George Senior Game Designer attended. The following is the full text of the question and answer.

It is a new job that is added after a devil hunter. What was the most important thing in developing an article of death?

When I first planned the article of death, I wanted to melt the fantasy of Arthur and the articles of death in the entire World of Warcraft. I wanted to tell the story surrounded by them. I wanted to make a new gameplay that is fun and exciting and enjoyed in a variety of ways.

The knight of death summons a dash 1/1 minute who dies at the end of the turn with hero power. The rushed minions have been a keyword that have been cautious in recent years.

(Chad Neo Big) I experimented with various ideas internally regarding the hero ability of the death of death, and it was a good idea to show a 1/1 ghoul that dies at the end of the turn. This keyword has been modified with a rush. It is true that there are many things to consider with a rush, but this part is balanced through the other cards of the article of death.

The story of 'Demon Hunter', which was very powerful among many players, is talked about. Is the article of death adjusted by proper balance?

I think that the knight balancing of death internally is well held. I think you can meet players in a good balance at the time of launch. It was true. From the experience, the developers were able to learn a lot, and when preparing for this article, there was a know-how about what is needed when creating a new job.

The rune system, which can specialize the deck with large minor-oriented blood runes, direct cold runes, and token-oriented negative runes. It has been found to be able to unify runes and combine, for example, how is there a difference from the concept cards of existing jobs, such as the totem and evolution of the shaman?

(Chad Neo Big) Run System is very excited. I think the rune system is a flower of the article of death. It is equipped with three blood runes to create defensive decks and utilizes fraudulent runes to play minions. It is also possible to think that the biggest difference is that the depth of choice is diverse in preparation for other job group concept cards. You will have fun.

If other jobs such as priests and thieves steal a card with runes, can the priest or thief can't use the card at all? Or are you stealing the cards with runes when you originally steal? A similar question, can you get a card with runes when you use 'discovery' ability, other than the knight of death?

(Chad Neo Big) Now, the occupational group that can play the opponent's card using some jobs and some job crowds is played normally regardless of the rune. You can find any card regardless of the rune slot on the deck. Some cards need to have a knight resource of death, and this is not possible by other occupational groups such as thief.

As the concept of the article of death through runes is clearly determined, it will be difficult to support three concepts in each expansion pack, or it will be difficult to add new concepts?

(Korea Giorgio) Developers have also been a problem. The goal is to make each occupational group play and experience new decks so that each expansion pack can enjoy the new type as much as possible. In the case of death articles 3, 3 It was the same as the dog concept and three subclasses, so I thought it would be difficult to add new decks for each expansion pack. It's hard to add it, so I'll have a certain goal and try to add a career for death.

In the past, there were a lot of expectations for the addition of death, and some previous expansion packs were the motifs of 'Ice Crowned Citadel' and 'Knights of Death'. I wonder why I came to me as a new job now.

(Chad You Big) I am pleased with the development team because I can show the article of death as a new job in this expansion pack. The king sent me a big love: not only the Warcraft worldview, but also the most distinctive character of the Blizzard franchise. I was wondering if it would be good to do it, and I decided to save the king of Rich.

If you have enough MANA, it seems to be the side of the meta direction slower given the mandrel keyword, which is effective. What kind of play did you expect through manager?

(Korea Giorgi) The play type added by Managua is often a style that has often been added in the past. The player is a play style that makes a decision. You can play or decide yourself when you are powerful.

The expansion packs of the frozen throne will be re-edited regularly until the launch of the Rich King's advance. It seems to be a very unprecedented attempt, but can you expect this temporary addition?

I am personally happy to hear that the decks of the frozen throne were reorganized. The knights of the frozen throne were the expansion packs that the players loved the most and I also enjoyed it immediately after the launch. I am very happy to be able to do it. I think that the introduction of past expansion packs in this way opens up the possibility of various events.

I wonder how the rune system is applied in the arena. When you play the article of Death in the Arena, does the player start the rune first and then choose a card?

(Chad Neo Big) It's interesting to play the articles of death in the arena. Only the cards that my deck can support. The rune of the deck is determined depending on whether you choose to choose. For example, when you select a cold rune-run card at the first pick, my deck is automatically mounted with cold runes, and in the next pick, you can't choose a card with a blood rune or negative rune.

There were many players who missed the absence of adventure mode in this expansion pack. The conflict between Blood Elf and Scourge has been predicted. Do you have any plans for adventure mode?

(Chad You Big) Hearthstone players love one-person EVE content, but the development team is also enjoying the development of one-person EVE content. I think it will showcase a variety of content. A new one-person adventure is waiting for you. A prologue is ready to follow the story of Arthur Genesis. You can enjoy the journey of being reborn as the king of death and the end of the death of death and the end of the country.
