Didn't get my golden pack for 2 week, what the!!! I pressed the button and nothing happened

Why did I get nothing for Diamond Version of this card?

Last line of the blue post: "**Players who previously received the Golden Harth Stonebrew will instead receive 1000 Runestones as an automatic grant to your account no later than August 28, 2024."

Guess I am waiting until August 21st to open any standard packs.

They don't deserve your energy by writing essays

Just don't login, that's their biggest punishment

You are not going to find me complaining about Free stuff.

But I don't know how other 10 years Celebrations are in other games, cause I don't know any other game at service that is 10 years old and still running, but is not too impressive. I wish it was more like...an Event, you know? Not even free packs, cause at this point stadistically speaking a Free Pack means around 100 Arcane Dust to me.

But I don't know, what if they buff the old most iconic HS cards and they bring them to Standard for free for a limited amount of time. Or something that involves the "history of the game" somehow. Signature cards for classic Legendaries, updates on the core game systems, like changing the Arcane Dust system for something that actually is worth using. I don't know, or even a way in game to see the full art of the cards. Something more meaningful.

And I think that Harth Stonebrew and 11 exclusive and pretty solid cards was a really good celebration gift, but I don't think only that could hold a "whole year celebration".  Even a year long adventure like Book of Mercenaries. Something.

A non-disenchantable cosmetic and three packs.
Watch out, you might give away too much.

Don’t forget, it’s a legendary that they have already had the diamond version in the shop. It may even out the value if it directly screws over the whales.

Remember when there were any ingame things on prime?

Currently there is one promo left for Lost Ark. Otherwise free random games and games through Luna.

 Thats because amazon canceled all the contracts with the developers. They want to focus on the games again. They announced it way back in 2023 already.

I support this step on one side, on the other side it was useful to quickly decide which games not to play, since it was the who is who of the micro transaction hell games.

The bare minimum would be not giving you anything.

Blizzard doesn't owe you anything because you haven't been enjoying the meta this week. 

I often see comments along the lines of "Blizz could give players free golden legendaries and they'd complain and say they deserve more."

Turns out that's not hyperbole huh. 

 Guys, i found the blizzard account in disguise.

Sorry let me get on board. 

One!? Just one golden legendary, one golden pack and two standard packs!? 

Blizzard really thinks that will make up for the insult of giving us that just one measly legendary and a new card for every class earlier this year!?

What do they take us for? We deserve so much more. 

The previous gift wasn’t big enough and now these 4 new gifts are far too small to make up for the earlier gifts being insufficient. 

My reaction to these new gifts is anger. 

Bro stop digging yourself even deeper. They are not offering a legendary, just a cosmetic change to a card everyone owns. 

Sure, they're offering a cosmetic upgrade to a card we already have. 

And it's not disenchantable, so personally I'd have preferred a random epic or even just a pack. I imagine I'll never see my golden Harth unless I'm clicking past it in my collection. At least I could use the dust.

It's also literally a golden legendary. If you filter your collection by golden legendaries you'll probably find you've got one more. 

That's why I called it that. 

This 'throw-away' is definitely Blizzard's attempt to bide time while they quickly work out how to un-f*ck the meta.

Also interesting how the card is not automatically added to your account, instead you need to enter the store to claim it…

Blizzard is definitely hoping for some impulse buys, as you stroll through the electronic isles of their shop, noticing all the alluring shinny bundles and overpriced packs.

Credit to their marketing team… I bet few of them were let off.

Not wanting to sound ungrateful, but remember when there were free random legendaries from prime gaming?

 yeah i remember those too, then they changed em to free epics and some standard packs. now they completely gone on the prime gaming

Amazon cut alot of the partners it was working with on prime gaming, that is not blizzards fault or was there decision , guessing it was not profitable for amazon

Typical neo-Blizzard way of apologising for a botched 10 year anniversary - the bare minimum, too little, and too late.
