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. :)

Surely giving 3 packs would force players to buy 3 less packs with money, right?
Oh, and if they at least said "sorry, guys, but no free packs" instead of $hey, f***ck you, it's not too late to give us money$ much less people would be mad. I personally couldn't care less about packs because I recently started playing arena, but Bli$$ard's attitude to their playerbase in the last few years troubles me.
"Nope. Not too late to pre-order for a discount on a bunch of TGT packs though--if you haven't already."
probably had an erection about the amount of good boy points he is going to get for pushing that statement.
tgt is just all around depressing...
- lower average gold value for daily quests.
- random arena pack
- boring new board
- tons of useless cards
- 50 bucks paywall for the tgt cardback
- no launch celebration packs
- no early tgt arena celebration
- "august" really meant end of august
- blatant powercreep with several cards
- no arena class balancing
Fel Reaver bug started as I started using the deck tracker, I was actually woried it was an issue caused by the tracker (haven't tried turning it off to check, neither checked if other people had the issue). What a relief it was justa bug and that it's fixed now :)
Disappointed at the fact that the only way to get "free packs" is to spend $50. It's BRM again where blizzard didn't give out the first wing for free. It's cool though; not angry just disappointed.
