No Free Packs on TGT Launch
Unlike the Goblins vs Gnomes launch event, we won't be getting any free card packs this time around Daxxarri confirmed earlier today on Twitter. We didn't believe that we'd be getting any free packs since there was no indication of this in the recent client patch, but it's worth pointing out.
Quote from DaxxarriAre we getting free TGT packs on launch like with GvG?
Nope. Not too late to pre-order for a discount on a bunch of TGT packs though--if you haven't already.
Fel Reaver Bug Fixed
A bug with Fel Reaver and Gnomish Experimenter which prevented you from seeing what cards they had drawn or discarded has been fixed.
Quote from Yong WooAre the changes to Fel Reaver & Experimenter (not showing the cards) intended?
Negative. We are looking into it.
So this is probably gonna be in the game for at least 8 more months?
I recommend you go try it now. :)

I intended to buy packs on Monday , not anymore. Now I'm gonna play as my friends, without spending any dollar in this game. Blizzard shows once again it isn't different from other companies (such as EA and Ubisoft ) , always looking for a higher profit. Now i'm gonna spent those $50 in a PS4 game or something.
Hearthstone players: Nerf patron warrior and face hunter , Nerf Dr. Boom, give us tournament mode, death knight and monk heroes (+demon hunter now), free packs and an arena run maybe at TGT launch?
Blizzard:
Pretty much this. I desperately want a Darion Mograin Death Might hero, but ever since they blew it off for "balance reasons" (OK, that's the same thing as expansions though...). I refuse to spend money in game, and this kind of thing only reinforces my refusal to support them. I even stick to running face hunter and patron warrior in the mean time when I do grind dailies for gold, what's the incentive not to?
Blizzard should lower the cost of classic packs.
if they would do so - insta buy 60
if they would do so what is the reason to buy any others?
do you mean buying them for disenchanting ?
in longer term all you care about is dust, so yes ofc
i still miss some good classic legendaries.
maybe i would get some, otherwise dust of course.
but yeah, probably would make the other packs not worth buying anymore.
what the hell is wrong with you?
not your business what i spend money on and how much
Why are people complaining that they're not getting free packs? Don't be annoyed at Blizzard for not giving you free stuff, be thankful of Blizzard's generousity to give you free stuff for GvG. They didn't have to do that.
No, they didn't have to do that...unless they need a playerbase of course. You don't go fishing without a bait....
Can't we hit that down vote button more than once ? God ! if hearthpwn sells that option i'll be thankful for hearthpwn's generousity to give us that opportunity and i can buy it instead of carpacks
thats why you buy bait, nothings free people dont do things and put work in for free either
After 150$+ I think I wont spend anymore on HS.
Hope that makes Blizzard happy!
Oops... just checked, more like after 280$+ I spent haha
50$ and you get 10 extra card packs? HA! not spending a dime... and as a F2P i'm really disappointed the average gold from quests has been lowered :(
be greatful you can play for free people expect to have a company put in hours and months of work in to a game just to not make any money off the game.. nothings free people dont do things in life for free.
How has average gold been lowered ? 3 wins was 40gold ... now 3 wins with a class is 50gold
3 packs would change everything, what a loss.
Didn't even realize people were expecting Blizzard to give away three free packs again. It's as if any action Blizzard takes becomes analyzed by pattern seekers as some message written in the stars.
