Innkeeper Voiceovers
Like the Announcer, the Innkeeper is a non-player character that players will interact with several times during their game sessions. The Innkeeper welcomes players back to the game after they've logged in, lets you know when a friend has challenged them to a duel, and more!

Posted Jul 8, 2013 (Beta Patch 3388)"you've earned enough expert packs for this week" I'm trying to figure out what that actually means :D

Posted Jul 8, 2013 (Beta Patch 3388)Quite possibly a remnant from before they changed expert packs over to gold. Or maybe you still get some expert packs just by playing. Who knows, hopefully we'll learn more this week.

Posted Jul 7, 2013 (Beta Patch 3388)Yeah there was a lot of surprising information in here. I guess I just never fully understood the award system, and I just assumed we would be getting Gold or booster packs, but from some of those sound bites it sounds like we'll be unlocking individual expert cards as well, win or lose. Also confirms a hard cap on packs per week from rewards. I'm not too sure what to make of this though, being that they said they were moving towards a universal currency of Gold for everything. Some of these could be outdated.

Posted Jul 8, 2013 (Beta Patch 3388)Yep, we need to take the audio with a grain of salt since we haven't had an update in a while. Still interesting nonetheless!

Posted Jul 7, 2013 (Beta Patch 3388)What's this? I think I caught a tidbit about asynchronous play in that voiceover. "Your friend has challenged you...you can take a turn, even if your friend isn't around." That's awesome!
Seems that the "weekly tournament" is in fact just the medals systems though, not a standard tournament like a lot of us hoped for. We'll see.
