Silly RDU. Didn't he know that this song was written about Amaz and Ragnaros:

I dont understand "Hearthstone will be down for maintenance in the Americas on July 22 from 12:00 AM PDT until 8:00 AM PDT." will it go down at 00:00 (21 to 22) and be back at 8:00 (22)?
so 16 hours to start update and 24 hours to naxx release?
That should be right, yes.
Granted, I wouldn't get too excited about the 8 AM time. Technology has a way of making those estimates go way longer than you expected.
Also, a bunch of people will be trying to log in at once and hammer on the new content, so who knows if the servers will stay up.
Now this coming week is the week of the weeks, Naxx release hell yeah!
Hopefully Naxx will be available to play after the downtime. Hopefully we'll get some patch notes on Monday. Brode's stated that there are a number of textual changes to current cards, and I'd like to see what they are.
Can't wait
I feel bad for RDU haha, Amaz pulled off some crazy shenanigans with that luck of his.
"Elvish Archer"....what?!
What is the up with the maintaince? July 22th from 12:00 AM PDT until 8:00 AM PDT. I hope it is shorter.
Well, they're rolling out Naxxramas, so it'll definitely be longer than usual. Hopefully they'll give us the full spoiler to look at while we wait :)
If Blizz doesn't I can assure you that HearthPwn datamining team will get you the good stuff once Blizz releases the client for download :D
I won't complain either way :D
Amaz, King of Topdecks.
anybody stating that this game is NOT all about rng should watch those top 5 plays of the week. in no other card game i played such plays were EVER possible and if else was done it got restricted, reworked, banned, errated or anything that broke that special combo and on top there is a silly amount of cheap mass removal in this game its almost a pain in the ass to play against/around it. i admit, this game is new, but NO NEW CARD IN ALMOST A YEAR is a slap in the face to the playerbase. in 2 days we are getting 30 new cards. in any other tcg new sets are published almost ever 3-4 months with a range of 60-300 new cards.... for example yugioh as almost 6k different cards and is 10 years old. with this 30 card pace hearthstone will take alomst 200 years to reach this milestone....

Amaz with that sniper Rag =D
Hopefully more Naxx card spoilers tomorrow, So excited! Just two days...
Naxxramas in 2 days! Mr. Bigglesworth I am coming!
Poor Mr. Bigs.
I still hope we get a card for him :)

No with "Deathrattle: Give Kel'thuzad +5/+5"
