One of the great things I love about hearthstone is its incredibly small internet usage (Usually less than 100kb per game) and even with a connection of only 10-20 kb/s you are still able to play the game well.
This last update with a size of a little over 1GB completely kills me... and before you say (just get a better inet connection nub) here my explanation. Im a tropical biologist working at a research station in the savannas of north eastern Ivory Coast, the next city is 200km away and with it electricity etc. Everything we get is through our own solar station and a small satelite dish for internet (via satelite... duh). This allows us a connection of roughly 100kb/s (with good weather) capped at 12 GB per month for the entire station, meaning that each person has roughly 40-60mb they can use per day... The TGT expansion was already pushing it but I managed to pull it off since it was still only a fraction of the size from this patch.
So WHY... WHY is this patch so incredibly large... Guess im gonna have to wait two month to install it when im back in germany... I needs my Hearthstone...
ps. answers like: "you want some cheese with your whine" are completely acceptable

While I think the port to tablets and phones was successful, at it's core it is still a PC game and sometimes I think Blizz forgets that apps and games on this format need to be smaller for a good portion of the player base.

Best whine thread ever! +1 At last an adult in here with serious concerns.
I don't get the size also... Maybe they are "preparing something for the future" and are adding parts of code.
Wouldn't surprise me. Next content release will 100% be announced at blizzcon, which isn't too far ahead. Blizzard tends to also put stuff in advance. I wouldn't expect anything until mid December.

I returned to this game much like how a recovering alcoholic can relapse.
I just wish that apps were more able to be optimized to specific devices where it would only download what was needed. Probably part of the size is that they have different images or bits for various screen sizes and devices.

That sucks dude, I feel sorry for ya. Sounds like someone is going on a 200km journey to get an update. You should make a blog about your journey and post it here to the website :)
The size probably comes from the upgrade of the game engine to Unity 5 (according to the news). But who knows.
Yeah after doing some research this seems to be the main reason (even though I have no Idear what it does). Its either that or the new animations for Rhonin and Co. now involve a kickass 4k 5minute cinematic trailer (but I guess I would have heard about that by now ^^).
And yes im seriously considering to do the 5 hour trip with the next shopping tour to Bondoukou (the next city) to download the patch overnight by draining the hotels internet, although the next trip will be at the earliest in 2-3 weeks >.<
ps. thanks for the cheese (ironically I could really use some since its really hard to get some over here...)

Why don't you get a friend to post you the apk , ipa or exe file. If they sent it today you should have it in two weeks or so. You can simply install it on your device then.

First of all: Yes this is purely a whine threat.

Sorry about that man. Not sure why it is so large, but updates to most games I play can be at least this large if not larger.
And I won't be too harsh on you - but dude, your situation is hardly typical. :)

Please insert Coin....
Hope they'd rework patch engine to not replace the full codebase each time they patch a mobile app. And the PC app, too. This pretty much hurts.
There is a lot of steak here...
you want some cheese with your whine
kidding ofc, sorry to hear that mate. :) maybe slip some of the "whine" to your other mates one night and download it all sneaky.
just get better internet nub

I'm having trouble connecting to the game :(
I think I need a little help..
After this patch, for first time ever, the game (especially the board) has become a lot darker, like a night filter has been added.
Before, a classic board : http://s1.postimg.org/5iq06a33h/Hearthstone_Screenshot_09_10_15_17_06_15.png
and now after the patch: http://s24.postimg.org/kfjc95ghf/Hearthstone_Screenshot_09_30_15_17_38_28.png
I'm playing on PC (windows) and I restarted the game, bnet and also the PC and nothing changed. There are no video options (based on luminosity or colours), so I don't know what to do.
Thanks for any advice
