Update: The livestream is now over, but you can check out the Video on Demand above! The final game is very much worth sticking around for, really captures the excitement of
Hearthstone. We hope to see more of these in future!
If you're as excited about
Hearthstone as we are here at WoW Insider, you'll want to check out the above stream, as
Hearthstone Fireside Duels go live on
Twitch.tv. Lead Designer Eric Dodds and designer and Shoutcaster Ben Brode, who is fast becoming the voice of Hearthstone, are sitting down to several duels, as well as answering viewer questions on Twitch and
Twitter.
The duels so far have shown off the mage, shaman, warrior, paladin, warlock and druid, but it's possible that we'll get to see some of the other heroes in action today, as well as the minion cards. It's also a great chance to get more into the game's mechanics, and develop more understanding, thanks to the live nature of the duels, and the Q&A. Community Manager Phenteo is also on hand in the Twitch chatroom to field viewer questions.
The one question they don't seem that keen to answer just yet is this: does this mean a beta is impending? It seems fairly certain that
Hearthstone will be at Blizzcon, at the latest, but who knows, it seems quite likely that there might even be a beta at Gamescom, given that Blizzard unveiled the
Mists trailer there last year. What do you think?
