    We wanted to clarify some of these points, as it looks like some of them might have been lost in translation.

    - We are not currently working on death knight and monk heroes. We have heard a lot from the community on their desire to see these classes, but right now the focus is on getting the game ready for PC and iPad launch.

    - The first Adventure will not appear during the open beta. We will be releasing it later this year, after PC and iPad have launched.

    - We know the community is interested in Observer mode, but we haven’t been working on the Observer mode actively.

    - We are keeping an eye on feedback regarding the length of the seasons, but we haven’t determined whether or not we will be adjusting the duration yet.

    We appreciate everyone’s excitement about Hearthstone as we conclude our first week in the open beta!
