Winter Veil is Coming! New Card Back, Bundle Deal, Free Packs Through Quest
Winter Veil has hit the asian Hearthstone servers and will soon be out in Europe and the Americas. We heard about the holiday again in the Rastakhan's Rumble patch notes.
- Winter Veil Returns on December 18.
- There is a new card back that will be rewarded via a suspected tavern brawl.
- A new quest gives you 4 Boomsday packs for simply playing 100 cards in play mode.
- A bundle is available that gives you 30 packs for 20 bucks.
- You should be able to wish other heroes a Happy Feast of Winter Veil with an emote.
- Orgrimmar and Stormwind game boards will become snowy.
We'll let you know if anything fun pops up that we don't yet know about.
Winter Veil Wonder Bundle
Blizzard has introduced a bundle into the store as well that will cost $20 USD or 20 EUR. In contained 30 card packs, six each of the 5 expansions prior to Rastakhan's Rumble. Seriously though, why is it so difficult to include some of the new expansion packs? At least we're not Heroes of the Storm and essentially had our game cancelled this holiday season.
New Card Back
Previous Winter Veil
We first saw Winter Veil three years ago in 2015. It brought a new card back through the Gift Exchange Tavern Brawl which in turn brought forth complaints about the reward not being a free pack. Fast forward to 2016 and instead of complaints about a card back, there were complaints because we had no brawl at all for the holiday season! It was instead was brought back in February 2017.
Last year in 2017 we had a new brawl, Wacky Waxy Winter Veil which was themed for Kobolds & Catacombs, the expansion that had just launched. No card back reward though, instead we received 3 Frozen Throne card packs. Going back to a card back reward, and a new one at that, is a nice change!
This concluded a brief history of Winter Veil in Hearthstone.
30 Packs 3 Legendaries Grumble, Worldshaker , Boommaster Flark , Hagatha the Witch they seem to have boosted the chances to get a legendary for these packs maybe so we buy more *puts on tin foil hat*
Craft Shudderwock Shaman!
I didn't want to but I might have to. The RNG gods have spoken
Wow, nice bundle. I got 5 Legendaries (2 golden ones) from the 30 packs (2 Un Goro, 1 Kobolds, 2 Boomsday) and addotinally got 1 Legendary from the 4 free packs. Super lucky! Thats 6 Legendaries in 34 packs.
With the RR release, i got 3 Legendaries in 107 packs...I guess, it was just about Time ;)
Hearthstone is at least 50% luck - in opening packs and in playing the game itself.
not that i like free stuff but... why boombsday packs?
boobsday lol
Because they know you already want those. They don't think they need to make an offer for it. Of course, they are wrong. I'd happily spend around 40$ per expansion if I would actually get what I want from them. But spending that and getting mostly pack fillers is "hell no!"
Congrats you matched the level of idiocy prevalent.
Who’s downvoting this!?
I saw it coming but I couldn't resist, only one legendary for me :-(
Same here. Had to buy via EU shop.
Yeeeyyy it is what we need Bli$$ard!!!! No nerfs or patches to fix the meta!!!! Thank you small indie company for caring so much in getting $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ but not caring for the state of your game. That's why your Hots 2.0 is so fucking vivid and competitive!!!!
Y CAN'T I BUY CARDS WITH FOODSTAMPS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
What should be nerfed? The meta is refining, but no deck feels oppressive at all at the moment.
Free Pek!! PogChamp
Card packs for rotating expansions?
Do you mean rotating after ~1,5 year? Then yes.
it granted me some cards i rly needed but felt salty to craft
3 of them rotates out in april ;) They didn't even include the latest expansion. It's just like vendors in rlf shops trying to sell leftovers for good price before expiring.
People are selling 40 latest expansion packs for 30 bucks thanks to amazon coins. You can also do the same and only get packs for expansion which will not rotate. But I guess if someone has money to spend then whatever. Such people can afford anything anyway.
As a Wild player, I'm happy with these "leftovers". Year of the Mammoth sets are incredibly powerful.
