Dean Ayala, Hearthstone’s lead designer, continues with his practice of weekly Q&A sessions on Twitter, where the community asks him all kinds of questions related to Hearthstone’s past, present and future.<\/p>\n

He has been pretty open with answers, and during some of his previous sessions we’ve found out some really interesting details, for example, that a new playable class will probably be added at some point.<\/a><\/p>\n

And while his latest session didn’t give us something as big as a confirmation of a new class, there was still some quite interesting titbits of information in Ayala’s answers.<\/p>\n

Battlegrounds plans<\/h3>\n

When it comes to Battlegrounds, which is by far the most popular Hearthstone mode of playing the game over the last year and a half, Ayala revealed several interesting things we can expect to get in the future.<\/p>\n

He confirmed that the team is currently working on adding cosmetics to Battlegrounds.<\/p>\n

While he didn’t reveal what kind of cosmetic will that be, he explained that they had already “wrote a bunch of art descriptions things” which will then be sent to artists, but he added that it will take a while before being fully implemented into the game.<\/p>\n

Dean also said that they want to add Battlegrounds ranks in friend lists for those players who predominately play Battlegrounds, but they need to see if it’s feasible to do and that he needs to do “research to know what art\/UI\/engineering cost it is”.<\/p>\n

When it comes to hero rotation, he said that they will continue to add and remove heroes from the pool of currently available heroes, and noted that Queen Wagtoggle and Hooktusk will be added back into the pool at some point.<\/p>\n

Achievements, old adventures, cosmetics, and other future plans<\/h3>\n

Since the introduction of the Achievements system, fans have been asking for achievements to be added for the old adventures as well.<\/p>\n

And while Blizzard confirmed that they will not add achievements for old expansions, Ayala stated that they do have plans for adding achievements for old adventures like Curse of Naxxramas and One Night in Karazhan.<\/p>\n
