DUDE!! I can't complain! I paid $4.99 and i ended up with 3 Legendaries of which i only owned 1 and 1 golden and 2 epic i did not have...totally worth the cost. I am pretty damn pumped!
You can buy the virtual ticket, then.
Same goodies and watch blizzcon from your couch
I like all the stuff TBH...Play all these games every day (except SC...Hate RTS games .. :P ) The card back is a lil boring compared to the past two years though, a lil Fireside back looking IMO. I buy the V-Tik each year, 90% for the convenience, 10% for the goodies. I live 10 mins away from Blizzard Corp. Offices (Wife works around the corner from their 'Fortress')....Yet I prefer the V-tik over going to Blizzcon. I go to all the Thursday night parties......but it's so much better to watch every thing from home. I make a LAN party out of it, wife and kids leave for the weekend and the boys and I stream BlizzCon on two flat screens and party down. Just a little advice/info for people that my be bummed they couldn't get a ticket.... :)
Yeah....There is nothing like BEING THERE for sure...yet after going once, I find it much nicer and peaceful to watch from home. Heck I even got a hotel room the one time so I wouldn't have to make the 25 minute ride home at night. But it's so much easier to watch from home.....
1) Get to see any and all panels I want to
2) SO MUCH EASIER to grab a bite to eat when ya need to
3) SO MUCH EASIER to use the restroom when ya need to ... :P
4) Get to game all weekend with friends while still ALMOST being at BlizzCon...............
...I'm 43 years old now ( been a gamer since the 70's :P ), and I find it much more convenient just to watch from home now ... :/
The only thing I wish I was there for is meetiing all the cool people and new friends, and seeing the live show/band play at the closing.
I like the cardback, not sure how I feel about that bastion skin though.
Cardback looks insane! really looking forward for it!
Why do you have so many downvotes? I mean... is just your opinion. Really people?
Thats a pretty boring Bastion skin.
Well I see that Overwatch was Overlooked apparently... They did models for the murloc pets and Diablo (kind of) for for WoW and D3 respectively, but Overwatch gets a fairly "meh" looking repaint for one of the heroes...? And to boot it's one of the heroes that's dead if they're seen typically. Why not Tracer, whom is basically the mascot of Overwatch?
Or genji.....
When will we receive these goodies after or before blizzcon?
Usually not before. I think last year you got them right after blizzcon opened?
I'm fine with the cardback, but bastion???? Why??? He is one of the worst heroes in the game
Can't we just have a store for card backs like portraits? We don't want to spend 50€ (idk the real price) for a virtual ticket "just" to get a card back.
Plus a lot of players are missing the ones from old seasons and would like to get them.
Too bad. Allowing everyone to get them makes the efforts of those who diligently collected them all worthless.
I got the virtual ticket, but i didnt only do it for the carfd back, i did it becuz now i can watch blizzcon at home etc. lol
Hmmm, I like the card back. To each their own.
I like the card back ... ._. Pls no down vote
