So go buy some Amazon Coins at a discount to get cheaper packs! You can save your coins for the launch or spend them on older packs now. Be sure to visit our guide to learn more about Amazon Coins.
It's already confirmed that some of the mission bosses wll come back as legendary cards. So we can hope
Perhaps it will be Paladin's Death Knight hero card?
If that's true then I am just going to craft it golden the second I log into after the expansion hits. But there's also a chance that we get him as a paladin hero skin after beating the Lich King with all 9 classes
No, they show death knight versions of all 9 heroes at the end of the trailer. Uther included. Also Uther turning into Arthas doesn't make sense. If Arthas will be a card, he'll likely be a neutral legendary. OR: they did mention that you get a hero card when you beat ICC, which makes me think that there will be a "Lich King" neutral hero card because there always has to be a Lich King.
Am I the only one who is super disappointed? I love hearthstone and have invested so much time and money into it over the years. I loved all 4 solo adventures and from what I recall it went packs-adventure-packs-adventure repeat but now it seems like we only get packs and we cant buy the £20 adventure and unlock all the cards as we complete it. I dont have a lot of money anymore or not as much as I had so I cant invest into all of these new card packs and get the cards needed to climb and have fun. I have plenty for GvG GTG and WOTLG but these newer expansions are getting on my nerves as the cards I have are being rotated out and I cant enjoy the game I once loved. I know you get rewarded for playing these missions but it is still going to cost an arm and a leg to get every card :/
Hope im not the only one who feels like they are being forced to stop playing due to not having hundreds and hundreds of pounds to spend on new cards
Yea, I guess its easier for Blizzard to make money from Heroic tb, which "everybody loves to play". Making two legs for each class two expansions in a row (as well as making two expansions in a row) is really dump
One option is to plaz wild with all those cards you have, or just try to save a good ammount of gold for each expansion. With 50 packs you can get at least 2 legendaries for each new set. Just grind 5k gold, and buy the preorder each time and I think you can be fine.
Well i think you're exaggerating a bit, besides the current midsummer festival that's giving double coins, blizzard has been most forthcoming in its last updates, handing out dust for the legendaries that have been demoted to the hall of fame, or giving us c'thun. By the time this expansion comes out i will have so much coin to spend for a good start, as will many a f2p player and which i have been except for most of the adventures that came out. Being good with your coin will get you a long way too , as even a good arena player will have provide a decent advantage. What i don't get is that i see many people complaining about a series that hasn't even come out or proven itself. But you don't need to spend hundreds of pounds, euro's or any other coin to be decent at this game and that's a fact. #kappa
Save gold
There's still gonna be an adventure tied into this expansion. Also the single player content will be free going forward. You're still getting adventures, and you're getting them for free. Blizzard said it was a pretty bad idea to release an expansion that was only ~40 cards because that usually didn't effect the meta at all. Also they admitted that it was a ludicrous amount of gold to get them for F2P players. So they decided to just release 3 full expansions a year, and have single player content for each. Journey to Un'goro was the last one that would have no single player content. There is no benefit to having the old system over this new one as the player gets the long end of the stick.
I dunno, I kinda think you can save more money without adventures. I've only spent about $50 to $75 on Hearthstone since the beta, and most of that money was on adventures. I only spent money on packs one time, before I figured it wasn't really worth it if I would be playing enough to craft the cards I was missing. The adventures were different because even though you could buy them with gold, most people don't have that much gold just sitting in reserve. So they kinda pushed for the impulse purchase, because if you waited long enough to save up all the gold it would take to unlock all the wings... Well sometimes, with some people, the next expansion could be out by then or the meta could have completely changed.
This way at least we can craft the cards we want, instead of them being locked to an adventure wing. Who knows, maybe at the end of the day, the adventures did actually prevent people from spending as much money as they would with just expansions only, which could be a big reason why Blizzard changed it. From my perspective though, I feel less pressure to spend real money now that the adventures are gone (and I haven't spent any real money since the last one). To me, that illustrates that adventures made me want to spend real money more than just these expansion releases.
You rang?
are they gonna reveal any cards before 24th of july?
Officially no. But some leaks may be around the corner.
in ungoro some streamrs revealed cards i was wondring if they are going to do that again
They surely will, but those stream reveals were still official. So until the 24th, we won't be seeing any cards revealed by Blizzard or high-level streamers.
