I was really keen to purchase the bundle this time around. Having always been a F2P player. I thought Ok this time i'll spend the $50-60 and buy the bundle.
I logged in to the shop to pre purchase the 80 packs with free priest hero skin. Only to find that due to the falling Australian Dollar, it's going to cost $109,95 AUD to pre purchase.
Now, i'm sorry, but thats far too expensive!, Thats more than most brand new games retail for. Most top end games cost $80-100AUD but this is only an expansion I feel that price it a bit over the top?
I would agree that Heartstone is rather expensive. The pre-order of 80 packs is $100 here, whereas a AAA game would cost about $50-70 here. The problem imo is that if you played since beta, maximing gold you don't really need to buy packs, but if you are just starting you can't remain competitive (or you can make a single tier 1 deck, but then you get bored fast or your tier 1 deck soon becomes tier 2-4).
I think for dropping $100 every 4 months, you should unlock the full set.
HS is a CCG, and the first C is pretty important - it doesn't really make a lot of sense to compare a collectable game to a non-collectable game, since the folks that play CCGs find about as much value in simply collecting as they do in actually playing the game.
As far as the price goes - even if you spend $100 three times each year, it's less than a dollar a day over the course of the year. If HS isn't your main game, or you don't think you'll be playing HS a year or two from now, it might not be worth it. Otherwise, I've met pack-a-day smokers at Fireside Gatherings who complain about the price of HS - I live in Toronto, where that other "hobby" costs about $13 a day. It's all a matter of perspective, I suppose . . .
Just add 200 friends on your friends list and let them give u 80 gold quests I average over 1k a week just doing dailies and friends quests

It's pretty funny cuz i read these posts and laugh! lul it's like this game is pretty easy to keep up and easy to manage and arrange ... just be patient chill out and everything just comes easily i dunno why people complaining that it's hard to f2p or hard to keep up ... pretty easy on my end....... i even tell u how i do it LOL but u know the average amount of players that will listen? <1% lol
how to do that though? vpn? can you buy it for existing account in eu? if you gonna need to make a new game account, that kinda defeats the purpose of this.
Has anyone tried it through VPN? Because if I try it from either Brasil or Mexico, it is redirected to the EU battlenet shop (I am not using any VPN service right now)
It's a bit rough. I look at it like gambling. You might spend $100 and get absolute rubbish (or not quite what you want). I know I bought both packs with Boomsday and absolutely cleaned up. Did the same with Rastakhan and got barely any legends/epics. I then went and spent another 100 or so for bugger all extra quality cards (still got less stuff than what my launch Boomsday gave me). Buying in bulk does pump up your dust quite a lot, so there is that.
If you've got a decent job, just do a few hours O/T to cover it. I'm between gigs right now, so unsure if I'll be pre-ordering this time. As I said, look at it like gambling. I know I've got mates that pour a lot more than that down the pokies. Think of it as a similar thing. You could end up smiling and having a load of fun, or you might curse thinking it was an absolute waste of cash. In a worst case scenario, think of the dust.
Also, if you're on Android, grab Google Opinion Rewards. It'll throw you ridiculously simple surveys from time to time, and will knock a few bucks off each pre-release.
No, that table is from Boomsday. I crowdsouced my own table for RR and made a guide on how to abuse the system. My table isn't up to date either, but it should be closer. I wasn't planning on doing the work (hosting the thread & updating the new prices) this expansion since I already purchased through Russia
But if people are interested and provide me with new data, I could try to keep the thread up to date and answer any questions. There's no reason the method won't work now. The only issue that could come up would be Blizzard adding a few more countries to the region lock list
I don't think this price chart is up to date. In Brazil the overall price for card packs got lower, perhaps changes have occurred in other countries too. On a side note, if you're a F2P and you're happy enough as it is I don't recommend to buy any bundle. It's really a downward spiral, at least it was for me – "Well, since I already spent money in this game I better not throw it away" etc...

Ironic. It could recycle others, but not itself.

just buy it from another region
Those prices are up to date? :O
I always buy from us.shop.battle.net because it's cheaper than eu.shop.battle.net, but how do I go about to buy from Argentina?
how to do that though? vpn? can you buy it for existing account in eu? if you gonna need to make a new game account, that kinda defeats the purpose of this.
Has anyone tried it through VPN? Because if I try it from either Brasil or Mexico, it is redirected to the EU battlenet shop (I am not using any VPN service right now)
And how do you want us to do that.
it's based where your account is registered.
