Blizzcon 2013 - Hearthstone In-Game Goodies
You may recall a few weeks ago when Blizzard announced that Blizzcon virtual ticket sales were starting and that we could expect an in-game goody for Hearthstone. We now have more information regarding what ticket holders will receive thanks to a post on the Warcraft Facebook Page.
From the information in this image, it looks like we will be receiving a Blizzcon 2013 Legendary Minion of some sort. It is currently unknown if this card will be obtainable in-game through crafting as a normal version much like how the normal Gelbin Mekkatorque can be crafted, but the golden version is a limited time offer for those purchasing through the Hearthstone store during beta.
Other rewards follow the structure that we are used to seeing from Blizzard regarding promotional goodies:
- Diablo III: Limited edition banner Pattern, Sigil, Shape, and Accent - Mark of Death.
- Starcraft II: A limited edition portrait and decal - Tearin' Stiches & Stitches' Hook.
- World of Warcraft: A limited edition murloc battle-pet - The Murkalot!
The Diablo rewards are already available in-game if you've purchased your virtual ticket. The Hearthstone, WoW, and SC2 goodies all require a client patch.
Be sure to join us on the forums and let us know what you think the card will be.
Imho that yellow colour seems to indicate a golden version of a ?NEW? minion or something like that; it will be like Mekkartoque, so no problem if it's a strong card.
Just fewer golden cards for no-buyers.
$39.99 for a virtual ticket? Um....I'm gonna go ahead and pass on this one.
The virtual ticket is pretty awesome. It's a ton of content over two days, but it is pretty pricey. I wouldn't get it if you only wanted the rewards, but I find all of the panels and competitions to be really entertaining.
Prolly a fun card but not a powerfull card as it would not be fair for others that didn't bough ticket.
This.
WHAT COULD IT BE?! WHAT COULD IT BE?!
I allready have the virtual ticket, so I'm getting it either way, but DAMN, unkown minion, that's going to be awesome. Although, if you look at how useful Gelbin is...
That murloc crusader looks sweet :) I like the golden card idea as well, but I doubt it'll be that strong.
