Discussion with Matt Place
See transcript below (rough transcript of the conversation)
* How did the three family concept come about?
* How did the multi-class cards concept come about?
* Are there plans to continue with the multi-class cards in future expansions or will this likely be limited to this one.
* Are there any game mechanics with this expansion that you would like to talk about that isn’t being talked about? (i.e. Buffing minions in your hand)
* With the release of Mean Streets, will we see Priest getting stronger?
* Have you put more thought into how a player can interact with their opponent when it’s not their turn, such as Counterspell or Loetheb?
* Will the Heroic Tavern Brawl be a one-time thing? Repeating every so often? A permanent fixture?
* Are there plans to add more cards with the mechanic like Kazakus, that create custom minions or spells?
* Tell us how it went down when the idea for creating custom cards came about. Did everyone react super excited or were they shaking their heads?
* What is the timeline from idea to play testing? When you get the card to where it’s balanced and likely to remain in its form?
* What cards or mechanics are you hoping players will be most excited about?
* What is your favorite way to have fun in Hearthstone?

Transcript:
Vastidious: My biggest question that has come from this whole expansion is, How did this whole 3 family concept come about in the first place. This is totally unique and different from anything you’ve done in the past.
Matt Place: It was a big challenge because we were creating so much new content with these families, a lot of new legendary characters, we took Gadgetzan and revamped the setting and turned it from a small little town from the MMO to this bustling city full of crime. which was a ton of fun but also a lot of work. A lot of our focus was figuring out, what does it mean to the player. It kind of came from a mechanical and story angle on both of them to land on these three families. We initially started this like, wouldn’t it be cool to do a cops and robbers set? Then we more focused on the robbers. How many groups how many factions, how many crime families do we have? Maybe it’s 4? And then we realized that hey 3, divides perfectly into 9 classes. Then we can divide the turf for each family perfectly and now players when they choose their class, are able to sign up for one of the families. So that all worked out perfectly and it was a ton of fun to figure out.
