Thanks for confirming that. My office computer is an 8 year old Core2Duo. Hearthstone would cause a meltdown if it could even run. Was there a big patch when you logged in to battlenet?

For all the foot-stamping temper tantrums and salty tears in this thread .. you know there would be even more screeching and crying if Blizzard did announce a release date further in advance, and then an unexpected problem forced them to postpone it.

That is why you can't have nice things. A decade or more of history of gamers behaving like toddlers.

anyone who cries about not knowing release dates is a whiny kid who doesnt know better so give them a break.  blizz consistently releases quality products, and i would rather have that at ANY time than something crappy right now.

I'm 27, hardly a whiny baby. I work a real job and have real deadlines and I keep them. Blizzard consistently plays this game of showing you a little bit of something and giving you no real indication of a release. I understand that some things can go wrong and take time to iron out, however, prior to telling everyone about the game and teasing it's release every day for the month of November they should make sure the game is ready to launch and give a real release date. Most other companies announce a product and give you a date for it's availability. Vaguely saying "sometime in December" is childish and unprofessional. If it's done, it's done and there should be a release date. If it's not done, don't tell everyone about it and tease it every day and have nothing to show for it in the end other than, "more coming soon"

in reference to the underlined portions:

1) And if you were the only person in the world who could create the content that you can, then missing deadlines would be tolerated.  im guessing there are other people in the world who could also accomplish your tasks

2) THEN DONT PLAY THEIR GAMES

im far from a blizzard fanboy, but i enjoy i almost everything they put out.  because of this, i have to play by their rules and i dont whine about it because it doesnt help anything.

Well, looks like 9th december is confirmed. Just think about it. We've seen two new legendaries revealed so far. So 7 legendaries are left. There are 7 days left until 9th december. Noticing a pattern? ;)

EDIT: Alright I take that back :p Release tomorrow HYPE

56 new cards released! 

do you gys reckon the "they are going to dump them all on us today and release tomorrow" will be valid?

My bet is that the release date (or hour) will be announced before midnight

is that a guess or reasoned thinking?

I might sound silly, but where can I find these 56 released cards? I looked on the wiki, and it only showed the legendaries as cards :/

either GvG facebook page or frontpage of hearthpwn.com

It is on December 9! finally

speculation is over

Ok...I think I can wait another week...
Maybe not. 

mine says 8th

8th is *perfect*.

As one of the most vocal critics I am really, really glad as to how Blizzard handled this.  I'd have preferred they made this announcement yesterday, but the important thing is they made the announcement and the timeframe is reasonable.  :)  Yay!
