Finally! Been waiting for the Protoss card back for months
Well it´s time to give blizzard more monies i guess
Can someone tell me size of patch? Becouse my show 1.3 gb but my download speed is bugged. So i dont know is this size bug too.
size is ok
If I buy only the first wing do I get Explorer's Hat and Forgotten Torch?
yes
I think you'll get it at launch day, even if you don't buy anything.
I don't quite understand it... Do you only get the hat and torch when you buy the adventure trough the shop (thus only when buying it with real money) or also when you buy the wings individually at the solo adventures screen (thus with gold)?
In case of option A: Behold, the first step to Hearthsone actually becoming pay2win.
Anyone seen an update go live on iPad? It's not currently showing up for me.
Nothing here for now, only in PC
If you get Torch and Hat when purchasing now, are they also available in arena already?
I don't think so. I guess they will be avaliable after the launch.
Expansion is so huge in size(~1.5GB)
Any engine update or just contents??
Those cards gives for pre purchasing is a bad sign.....Even if you will get them later. Cosmetic card back - yes, this - no.
And then your fears turn out to be unfounded because buying LoE early was a glitch anyway
what does this mean that we dont get 2 cards if we dont bay the exp this must be a joke right=
Everyone who buys the adventure, regardless of how or when, gets these. All explorers need a Hat and Torch.
buy the first wing with gold or money and you will get them
Not sure why those bosses were worth keeping secret... Oh well.
Can't wait to type 'i like golden animation' on all the card pages! lol
