Was Five Weeks of Naxxramas Too Long?

It has been a little over fiveweeks since the first wing of Naxxramas has launched which also means each wing is now open to the public. The Curse of Naxxramas is a great first expansion pack for Hearthstone.

I loved the roll out of Naxx (other than the purchasing issues) and felt that 5 weeks game me anough time to enjoy all the wings and new cards each week before the next wing opening! This was a fantastic way to distribute new cards!

I feel like 5 cards a week was plenty. If you are dumping too many cards into the card pool each week then the meta will never settle and it will make it much harder to climb ranks. With 5 cards a week, the meta would settle 1-2 days later and you would get a decent amount of time to enjoy the new meta before it was ripped apart again. If you were added something like 15 cards a week then the meta may not settle by the time the next installment comes out, and a meta in constant shift would be frustrating. Deck builders would find it frustrating because they couldn’t tailor their decks for the meta, and players would find it frustrating because it would be hard to anticipate their opponent’s plays.

TL;DR
I think 5 cards a week was plenty.

I liked the slow rollout a lot. It added to the excitement, I think, and made sure we had a chance to play with ALL the new cards, not just the couple we thought would be the highlights. I enjoy the smaller, more focused card pool of HS, so I felt like the release was great. Just enough to keep things interesting every week.
