You seriously choose your friends based on phone brand they use? Man, you need treatment. I am Apple fanboy by your standards, but I was more than happy to use my coworker's Android phone to get my free pack. And he did not have any problem with my iPhone and iPad to get the same. You could have easier life without prejudice of yours.
I enjoy the irony of this comment while blizzard is choosing their customers for this content based on the phone brand they use. Funny; I guess they need treatment.
I don't remember mentioning friends, that's all you. If you it makes you feel any better i am medicated for anxiety and generally prefer to isolate myself from others if i have the option. I tend to only communicate with others that share similar interests and coincidentally i can not think of anyone i consider a "friend" that purchases or uses apple products.
I don't care what other people use, that is their preference. I do not look down upon apple customers or treat them any differently. I just don't like the brand, products or practices and i prefer to be a "friend" with people who share specific common interests. In no way do i intend to be rude or hateful towards such people; there is no excuse for such a thing. I don't have to be friends with everybody, or anybody.
I don't need people playing doctor and diagnosing my mental state through comments. Honestly i feel like your comment is much more legitimately prejudice. My life is easier with the least possible amount of personal interaction. I don't really appreciate the judgmental attitude based on how i "choose my friends". There's nothing wrong with that. If you like to be friends with everyone that's great, im happy for you. I don't have that sort of tolerance. I also do not like borrowing or using other people's devices. I don't want the responsibility or liability if something goes wrong in that short period of time. That's cool if you and your buddy share devices, not my thing. I shouldn't have to, and i certainly am not going to just for Khadgar. I will be searching for a work-around for this and if it doesn't work out then i will have to accept that blizzard doesn't want me to have the hero.
Best thing about the emote. The guy sounds very close to the narrator from "The Stanley Parable". Really friggin awesome voice actor. Just a detached BM master.
Hopeful this gets rolled out to other platform soon. I hope that they raise a good amount for the charity.
So Samsung owners having free packs and free card back is fine, but Apple owners having PAID portrait is wrong. Strange.
LOL at everyone raging about iOS exclusive. Its a visual item for charity and there was a partnership between 3 large company's to make it happen. I find it very hard to believe that every post in here from someone saying they would have bought it if they could that they know absolutely no one in their life that owns an iOS device. Its a simple "hey buddy I want to do something for charity, you mind if I borrow your iPad for 5 minutes?'. But realistically, I'd venture to guess that more people are upset that they cannot get the shiny new toy than are actually upset about not being able to donate since you can easily go to wwf.com and donate any amount you want.
The BM sass with these emotes..... lol
"We want to raise as much money as possible for charity!" Limit purchases to only one type of device... Seriously wtf. I'm more upset about this charitable pretence than the actual hero limitation. If it was just them saying "Hey! We partnered with Apple and made an exclusive for their devices!" I wouldn't be happy but I could understand why they would do that and respect it from a business standpoint (not really), but to try an mask it behind false noble pretences is just disgusting. Shame on you Blizzard.
So, not only must I find an I phone owner that will let me install a fairly big program on their device, but also a way to buy the actual shit hero because in my country (Greece) we can't use credit cards due to capital controls and Battle Net Balance doesnt work with iOS. Great.
There are Apple Cards ρε σύ
And what is the cheapest one? Hope I won't have too much money wasted in someone else's device.
Are you sure you still can't pay by credit card on iTunes from Greece? I thought this problem was last summer and would be long gone by now.
Sadly videogames are still a no-go (and many other categories). I had to do the pre-purchase for Old Gods via battle net balance card, which I bought in Public. I still have leftover balance but it seems I cant use it for Khadgar...
Apple and the WWF seem to be teaming up not just with HS but with other app developers as well, my phone got lit up with app updates most which talk about the team up and some type of bonus content. Likely if Google did the same they would have gotten this portrait as well. My guess is Android will receive the portrait a few weeks or so after this is done(when the promo finishes). And no...im not an Apple fanboy...I flip-flop my phones between iPhone and Android(Nexus, Galaxy, etc) every other new release because I get tired of both OS's after a while.
So you basically have to give ~600 euros for some iOS device to Apple(i don't know the actual prices so ignore me if i'm wrong there) so they can let you donate for saving the Earth or whatever. Even the guys from teleshopping sound more convincing...
I don't have anything against charity...but a third mage hero ? seriously ? why not a new shaman hero, or rather a druid, if it's about wild life and such...would seam much more appropriate
We are not. We just want to help WWF with our devices :)
ROFL egotistical? Perhaps people want to help and don't own an apple device? Get off your high horse.
Interesting...
