Beta Day One Recap
It was an incredibly exciting and hectic day with the Closed Beta Test beginning yesterday, so what better than a recap? (Don't say Beta Keys, we have a Beta Key Giveaway for that!)
Game Systems Previews
We've got some videos of the in-game systems now that Beta is out. The pack opening is extra exciting!
Store - Purchasing Cards
Pack Opener - Opening 7 Card Packs
Collection Manager
Deck Builder
The Arena - Building a Deck
Crafting
Quest Log
Blue Posts
There weren't too many important Blues last night, aside from posts we previously covered, but, be sure to check out our Blue Tracker which has all the new Battle.Net Hearthstone forums added for the ultimate in Blue Posts.
Quest Progression Clarification
Originally posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)Conceding a game still gives progress towards the "Complete x Play mode games" quests. Pretty sure that is not intended.Completing a game in Play mode is different from Winning a game in Play mode.
Battle.Net Friends Missing
Originally posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)Hearthstone is hosted on our PTR servers. You will only see friends you have from WoW, D3, and SC2 PTRs. Unfortunately, this also means you will have to rebuild your friends list.
When we go live, it will pull your full friends list from our retail servers.
Hope that helps!

Posted Aug 17, 2013 (Beta Patch 3664)Nice collection of information, thanks.
For those that didn't see Noxious stream yesterday, he had a donation that allowed him to buy and open 80 (yes, that's EIGHTY) packs. Worth watching just for how excited he gets when something interesting pops up :D link - http://www.twitch.tv/noxious_hs/c/2764882
A big thumbs up to Nox for the stream, a lot of useful information and strategy tips there. A very knowledgeable player and his love of Hearthstone is as infectious as it is entertaining!

Posted Aug 17, 2013 (Beta Patch 3664)I tuned out of the stream for bed (EU here) while he was waiting for the donations to add up to buy a 40 pack. When I checked today, I saw a video for the 80 pack open and thought he'd been lucky enough to get more donations than expected, never even expected there to be another 40 lol. Didn't find the 40 video until later. If nothing else, it certainly looks like pack opening is more fun to do in bulk.
