Its just me that sees the bog creeper flipping us? LOL
( I think that's the proper term to show us the middle finger?)
He is either way...in one way or another.
Bog creeper is the new hero skin? Nice
I've definitely wanted a new Warlock hero, and a gnome hero, for a long time, but what? An Undead hero was also in very high demand, and I don't see any reason the second Warlock hero can't be an Undead. There's a reasonably "famous" one, too, I just can't remember the name.
And making it Fireside exclusive is really annoying. My local area has none, and the closest options are still whole day commitments.
Nemsy-what?
Who the heck is that?
Nice. I can't even find a gathering anywhere close to me. RIP.
over 30 miles to travel to get this hero. they must be off their rockers.
I love warlock as well and would love this, but travelling 30+ miles seems a bit crazy.
I don't care about the new hero character, but none of this makes sense. Blizzard is money hungry, we all know this. Why do something like this when you could make far more just selling it in the shop for $5? i might even buy one, the Fireside thing isn't going to happen for me.
Stunts like this aren't encouraging people to stick around, especially when Blizz probably needs them to. Are they just that out of touch with their player base?
It's almost like... they're not just money hungry in the first place, but actually trying to create unique experiences for people. Isn't that a much more likely explanation than the idea that they're just irrational economic actors who don't understand that giving things away makes less money than selling them? This is not difficult to reason out.
I'd make it to where if you attend a gathering you get 2 free packs. You have to go to one of their "official" ones and stay on their network for an hour.
Or have a tournament format at these gatherings and the winners get progressively better prizes. But everyone gets at least something for showing up.
People are annoyed because most players cannot get to a fireside gathering. I am an adult living in DFW texas and the closest gatherings to me are either in tyler, san antonio or houston which are all 2 - 5 hours away from where I am. DFW by the way is the 4th largest metroplex in the nation, and there isn't anything close by to even attend. So lets say everyone did drive to their "nearest" one... it would be so full you would not even get to play. There needs to be a better incentive for people to "create" tavern brawls, and a bigger incentive for people to "attend" one. This is a great step because at least it is some incentive, if I understand now there are 3 incentives for people to attend (this hero, a cardback, and the special brawls). There is an incentive for people to host with some swag. NOW, my argument is that there are not incentives to "host" and certainly still not enough to attend. The biggest incentive to attend is one nearby and on a day that is not a weekend so that you can attend and not upset the wife or family that you are out playing video games on a friday night. So how to fix the ability to attend is basically just make sure more exist, which is incentives to host. I think the big problem is that most businesses that would cater to this sort of thing would be comic book / collectible card stores and these places don't have an interest to host this event because the event would mean less people buying magic or pokemon cards or whatever. So the next best place to host is a coffee shop, but this has a problem too in that most people going to coffee shops are not hearthstone players they are teens hanging out, adults doing some work away from teh family, and college kids doing homework... I don't really know what the solution is, but it is just my take on the problem. I'm sure if enough incentives start to pile up, more events will happen... and then most of us will "consider" potentially attending one if it's only 20 minutes down the street. For those of you in far flung countries or rural america, i think you will forever be doomed to not attend one.
The solution is: look up local community gathering spaces that have wi-fi available and plan one! They've had them at the library in my town, cost little or no money. Blizzard has done quite a lot to empower people to plan these events. The WORST case scenario is only like five people show up... and you still all get the cardback, and soon the new Warlock hero.
I agree people need to do this. I cannot myself as I have a very busy job in corporate america where I work long hours and have family obligations on the weekend and evenings. Hearthstone kind of fills the gaps for an hour at a time... planning one would require being around for 5 or 6 hours for a hearthstone only themed event. Maybe if nothing ever pops up I'd consider it, but i'd end up putting other obligations on the back burner like my career and family development.
Great, this'll be the only Warlock skin we'll get for ages, and it's a completely made up Hearthstone character. Seriously, gimme an actual Warlock from the lore like Cho'gall or Ner'Zhul, hell I'd even take something like Willfred Fizzlebang. Just someone recognizable. Priests have Anduin Wrynn and Tyrande Whisperwind, Hunters have Rexxar and Alleria Windrunner, Mages get Jaina Proudmoore, Medivh and Khadgar, but you're gonna give Warlocks Gul'dan and who-even-cares? Like, at least Rogue's first hero was someone who was big in the lore. This just feels dumb and kinda lazy.
I don't hope that what's going to happen for Warlock is going to happen for Druid as well.
Lord Jaraxxus , though not an official hero, just a legendary
There's just no Fireside Gatherings in my country, and I don't like this skin anyway, so I'll pass. Just waiting to see the emotes, but I'm still passing.
EDIT : And she's eating apples ! A warlock, eating apples !
Eh, they're good enough for shinigami.
Hero looks terrible but that doesn't excuse you entitled windowlickers to write paragraph upon paragraph about how you're incapable of arranging a FSG for yourself and two [!] friends.
