It has way more potential then the midsummer one..from 14 days double gold you'd get realistically around 1400-1800 gold depending on quests..half that you would have gotten anyway from normal quests..so around 700-900 more gold for 14 days.
With the free run + the free win each time I went 8-3 entered again 12-1 and then 8-3 again 3 in goro packs and 850 gold reward in a single day...and this event last for 3 weeks. I just love it
I draft on the low side and am not that great at Arena (Or the game in period you might say I play for fun, not for the win).
Either way it's a bad combination. Even on good drafts (Pyros, Kazakus, Rhonin mage deck that was way above average) I still only got 8 wins.
I'd rather have double gold To be honest The brawl is pretty cool though, love the artwork target dummy ragnaros. Ahune is right by me. I actually do like Arena, I just suck at it, LoL. So yeah the brawls pretty fine by me.
I'd rather have double gold. I dont know why but I suck at arena, averaging around 3-5 wins. Wait, scratch that, I do know why, bcos I have only played like 7~ish arena runs. Anyone has tips on how to get better?
The double gold fire festival was fun, but I wasn't really lucky rolling 120+ gold quest rewards. The frost festival gives me incentive to do more arena and get better at it, so I like it more. If you constantly got 120+ gold quests last festival I can see why you prefer that.
Party pooper :P Try it out, u might start to like it :)
I don't even like Arena, so yeah I'd rather have double gold as well. Double gold gives me more stuff to use it with. I could buy more packs, by Adventure wings I don't have yet, and who can forget MORE ARENA RUNS?! All this event is doing is one free Arena every week and a quest to get Frozen Throne card packs, while Fire Festival awarded you double gold when questing.
There is nothing going on in the frost festival. I get the privilege of gambling the gold I have saved for KFT? No thanks. Far worse than the fire festival and feels like a way to try draining gold from the community. Notice that these big events that require gold gambling always happens before an expansion. That is not a coincidence.
Props for not being another dry ass stale heroic brawl I guess.

Arena doesn't drain that much gold from the system. The gold it does remove, it converts to packs and dust. Actually with the 1 free win the average rewards might net more value than 150 gold (Heroic Brawl in contrast gives only about 6xx in average rewards).

When I began playing a lot of arena I drafted with tools..gave me a good idea what cards are generally considered good and why.
Then I played a lot of arena games together with a friend of mine while we were hanging out..we took us time to analyze every possible course of action and how the opponent could/ would react including worst possible random events..

I totally get that arena isnt for everyone and it has a steep learning curve at the beginning, but when u get to it, its quite fun and even profitable.
If u need gold for adventures or u want to save for KFT packs, then i suggest u this: play only your free tickets and get the rewards. Play the free tickets also on other servers (Americas, Asia, Europe - whichever aint your main), where u can switch your acc for free and then comeback to your main server again. This way, u have completely free of charge arena experiences, where u can gain more understanding of what should u do and how to draft a deck. U can even do quests like once in 3 days in a bulk and play arenas there from time to time, just to practice. Ofc it will take time investment and will basically net u nothing but play experience. But if u do have the time and want to try to get into arena, this is the best way to do it with minimum gold investment ;-)
Also quite important note, if u pick a class, that performs poorly in arena (like warrior, shaman or warlock for example), then yeah, your experience with a free run will not be very good and someone who doesnt play arena often to know this will just get discouraged by the run and think that all arena is shit.
I believe it was bad timing for this festival, ironically while ladder is actually not too bad, arena is a mess of which the supposedly 70 million large playerbase now have free tickets to witness themselves
70%+ games are against Mages. Warriors and Druids are extinct.
Discover discover discover another discover with the discover.
Had they done this during Gadgetzan, when the pendulum had swung the other way with ladder being awful but arenas being decent, it would have served as an effective promotion to get new players into the arena scene.
Well for anyone who does not perform horribly in arena this event is great. I normally avg 5.x wins. With the free win and the bad arena players who do their free run, Im running infinite :D
Prefer to save my gold for the next expansion, prob they where better of swapping the 2 events around.
I feel a lot of people like me try to save there gold for packs instead of spending it on arena to get some older cards and change of losing some gold.
Also i would have prefered better arena awards instead of a free win for the frost festival, a free win is nothing compared to double gold.
The arena awards are kind of shitty for higher wins and making the gold prizes double in arena would have been a must better idea to promote arena.

After that I got a lot better on arena
Ungoro pack dosent have the same value as the new expansion pack imo.
You are already an arena player. Starting with 1 win for three weeks is something you like. But most will do only the free run.
