Next expansion guesses

#1

Okay, this is a bit early.
But, the next expansion shall soon be upon us!
What do you think it’ll focus on?
What do you WANT it to focus on?

So far, each expansion brings a new mechanic.
Shim’Zar brought Battle Pets.
RotB Blood Surge.

Now, now, what will it be next? What could it be? Surely there has to be something that hasn’t been done yet!

I have been analysing the new Minions’ look and, I have no idea what they have in common.
Probably nothing.
If it wasn’t for the fact most are Neutral.

So, what could CPG be planning?
Well I hope it’s good anyway.

PS

[details=Summary]Here is my wish list, you devs better take note or I’ll come see you and give you a slap each!
-Egg support
-Grow support
-Board interaction
-Less RNG please, there isn’t a lot but, less RNG please
-No more OP as hell cards
-Please consider buffing cards
-Send me a Duelyst tee-shirt please
-More lore, get the writer to write more damn it, pay him/her more, kidnap him, whatever really
-While you’re at it please kidnap raqyee

What was I talking about already?[/details]

Tl;dr- new faction with a new expansion.
Ik this is going to be a longshot, but a guy can hope right? But I would love to see a new faction tied in with a new expansion! There have been a lot of ideas, most specifically the Scholar faction (How Would you Design this ‘Scholar Faction?’ not the original but a good source of information for it) has piqued my interest the most. I feel like if a faction were to be added then a new expansion can easily help with that as new cards can be released for the other factions to help show potential ways to deal with a new faction. Some problems I see here would be an overwhelming amount of content being added in one update, or simply imbalances with all the new content. If something like this happens it would potentially be messed up since only so much testing can be done. That and new factions probably won’t happen anytime soon :stuck_out_tongue:
That’s just my two cents.

Dervish Support and Zirix being able to place his BBS Iron Dervishes

As much as I would like this, CPs reluctance to buff cards makes this unlikely. Releasing a card that’s strong and then nerfing it seems more likely, despite what I’d like to see.

I would love to see a new faction, but I don’t believe even for a second that it’s going to happen. At least not this soon anyhow.

I think it’d be pretty cool to see each faction receive a second faction specific keyword. Again, I’m not getting my hopes up about this one.

I honestly don’t think this expansion is going to have a specific theme. I do hope that the new cards are designed with synergy in mind. I love cards that are just slightly weak or on par when alone but powerful when combined with one or two others with beneficial synergistic abilities.

I bet it’ll be neat.

I would love an expansion that had more in terms of the lore. I mean seriously, there’s some pretty interesting stuff happening in the background of all this, isn’t there?

personally, im hoping for more tile types like shadow creep
ghost seraphim making “frost tiles” that reduce movement speed or turn minions that walk on it into walls
or feralu making “lava tiles” that are like neutral shadow creep that damages both sides
and tahr looks like a charger that reverts altered tiles back to normal when it walks over them
maybe grimes just isnt damaged by them? not sure about that one.

To be fair, I think we’d be in a lot more trouble if you said “Eh, I bet it’s gonna suck.”[quote=“vorcton, post:2, topic:8300”]

While it would be nice, I think Hearthstone had the right idea. No sense adding more classes when the ones you already have need to be balanced first.

#10

Yeah, and don’t get me wrong, I love the variety that we have already! Just thought it’d be nice. This is a little off topic, but what about new generals? 2 per faction is nice, but certain factions do have the opportunity to expand outside the two generals. Back on topic, @oranos that would be nice! I love shadow creep and it sucks how only Abyssian has them (though I main Abyssian :smile:). Sadly though, Abyssian wouldn’t have any unique aspect to them (outside of swarm) if other factions got shadow creep-esque utility…sure Abyssian IS the queen of shadow creep, it just wouldn’t be as special :confused:

#11

Hopefully some Sajj support. Maybe a minion/artifact that heals general equal to damage dealt? (Now that I think about, that artifact plus zephyr/bbs would be REALLY good in certain situations. Maybe enough to make her viable if the mana cost is low enough. Might submit in the next card suggestions thread.)

Edit: That card would be viable on its own with a low mana cost. In fact, it would probably be a staple in sajj decks.

#12

Shadow creep has a whole archetype built around it. Adding minimal tile generation that isnt as useful as shadow creep, but could still swing games if played right, would be awesome.

For example the new cards would not be able to create tiles as freely as shadow nova or use them to end games like juggernaught or obliterate, but more like ooz but with ice or healy tiles

#13

But there is one every 3 months

#14

Wow, I musta been drunk when I wrote that. I meant to say faction, lol…

#15

I’ll be happy with just a bunch of archetype support, including for Neutral ones (Arcanyst, Replace etc).

#16

I’d like to see:

  • a 3rd (and 4th?) General per faction
  • a new Keyword per new General
  • archetype-support
  • more board, less out of hand damage
  • Eggs

Because some people like to see another faction:
I don’t need this tbh. I’d rather see more Generals then more factions. Six factions is enough diversity I think and refining them is more important for me then having more of them.

Let’s hope the devs prove him wrong.

Enough with the quote changing outside the meme thread. Not cool to put your words in someone else’s mouth.
