I'll be very pissed if the promotion is something silly like playing 3 matches of hearthstone in an ipad or some other restricted crap. I'm fine with playing other games though, as long as it's not Overwatch.
You can emulate an ipad (or other devices) on your PC, I really doubt it but if that's the case it will be easy peasy.
I think this new hero will involve money cause the other free/promotional heros didn't came with a cardback and Tyrande does, just like the other 3 payed ones. I could be wrong though...
Uh, no you can't. Apple stuff is sealed pretty tight. I looked into it when the Khagdar thing was happening and there was just no way to do it. Sucks, because it's one less thing that I won't ever be able to collect 100%.
"I am almost out of card."
Looks like Blizzard is gonna need a lesson from Niantic.
Tyrande unlocked by winning a game with priest
Kappa
winning a game that moves you from Rank 1 to Legend.
Whenever new Heroes were added in the past, they could be unlocked within a day or two. So I hope we don't have to wait long for news on Tyrande Whisperwind.
I only wish that the promotion isn't paid
The skin looks awesome :) GJ Toast for prediction :P
Request: Does anyone has a non-gif HD or Full-HD image of tyrande?
Made the mistake of opening on my computer, now I am locked out of the mobile app until the update goes live for Android, great...
Thanks for update blizzard! Just lost tournament because my opponent updated game and i have slow internet! Perfect timing!
I never played WOW and the only things I know about Tyrande is that she's Malfurion's "girlfriend" and she has a White Tiger companion,also I don't even like playing Priest but both the skin and the card back are so gorgeous that I'll gladly have Blizzard shower with my money to get them.... Hopefully it won't be necessary....
She is a Warcraft 3 major character, in WoW she's just another NPC that does nothing (sadly)
It's actually a heartbreaking story.
Malfurion Stormrage is the husband of Tyrande Whisperwind.
Illidan Stormrage is brother-in-law. However, he also loves Tyrande Whisperwind. He often tried to excite her with his magic, but she was never impressed. To Illidan, powerful magic meant nearly everything. To Tyrande, it meant so little, and there was one-night elf she had known her whole life that didn't lust after power: Malfurion.
With his broken heart, Illidan simply left. He journeyed alone to Zin-Azshari, leaving his previous life behind. His exterior soon began to match the darkness within him. His eyes were burned out and replaced by orbs of mystic fire – a gift from Sargeras. His skin became covered in arcane tattoos. He was transformed.
Malfurion was outraged at his brother for committing such treachery. Seeing no other choice, he ordered Illidan to be imprisoned deep below Hyjal.
For 10,000 years, Illidan was locked away in a lightless prison. :( Malfurion would visit him sometimes, and attempt to pull him away from the magic that consumed him, but his efforts were unsuccessful. In the end, it was Tyrande who set him free.
After thousands of years, Illidan’s love for her was undampened. He helped them to defeat the Legion. Illidan led a force of night elves into Felwood to hunt down the Legion. While there, he learned about the power of the Skull of Gul’dan and decided to seek out the demonic artifact. To Illidan, more power meant defeating the Legion. More power meant redeeming himself in the eyes of Tyrande.
Upon finding the skull, he claimed the power as his own – but at a steep price. Illidan was transformed into a demon, with large horns sprouting from his head and giant wings extending from his back. Illidan used his new form to defeat dreadlord Tichondrius and his forces, but his victory was not celebrated by all.
Tyrande and Malfurion turned away from Illidan. Malfurion claimed that his brother traded his soul for power, and he banished him from the forests. Illidan was hurt, and he immediately left the night elf lands, as his brother demanded.
Even after such abandonment, Illidan’s love for Tyrande did not lessen. :(
In a confrontation on the Broken Isles, Malfurion and Tyrande’s forces faced Illidan’s. In an attempt to protect her, Illidan ensnared her and warned her against interfering. <3 It was here that Tyrande revealed to Illidan why she had chosen his brother over him.
"Raw power is no substitute for true strength, Illidan. That is why I chose your brother over you."
After the encounter, Illidan escaped to Lordaeron, and attempted to destroy Icecrown with the Eye of Sargeras. However, he was interrupted by Malfurion, who informed him that Tyrande was dead. Truly heartbroken, Illidan mourned the loss of the woman he loved – until learning from Prince Kael’thas that Tyrande might still be alive. :(
Illidan begged Malfurion to allow him to assist in finding Tyrande. It was he who found her under heavy attack from the undead.
After being passed over for his twin brother, suffering 10,000 years of imprisonment, and being rejected by the one he loved most, Illidan delivered Tyrande safely to Malfurion. She was astonished by his actions and truly taken aback by his loyalty. Malfurion told Illidan he was free to go, as long as he never threatened the night elves again. Illidan agreed, and immediately fled to Outland. He doubted he’d ever see his brother or the love of his life ever again.
Though separated, time continued to pass for Illidan, Tyrande, and Malfurion. Illidan faced off against Arthas, created an army of demon hunters, and was ultimately defeated by Maiev Shadowsong, the very one who guarded his prison for thousands of years. At the end of it all, Illidan’s corpse was brought to the Vault of the Wardens on the Broken Isles.
In World of Warcraft: Legion, Felsong and Gul'dan retrieve Illidan’s body, and Gul'dan releases Illidan’s soul into the Twisting Nether. It is within the Nether that Illidan reveals to the remaining demon hunters that they must rejoin their cause to defeat the Burning Legion. He then states that the Illlidari will not be able to contact him again.
Now, he flees his demon pursuers in the Twisting Nether, far away from Tyrande. But it’s safe to say that the high priestess is always, and will always be, in his thoughts.
"Whatever I may be - whatever I may become in this world - know that I will always look out for you, Tyrande."
PS: Her cub's name is Ash'alah.
Thanks that was very insightful... That last sentence really got me... Now I certainly like Illidan way more than before and I also want the skin more than before... XD
Now that portrait better be accessible for every player blizzard!
Oh, finally priest hero and it's ok for me. Best ll be Draenei, but i don't know who it will be, and Tyrande is a good charecter. Now, pls not special promotion for apple devices or something like that
This comment will get upvotes for no reasons. Oh wait.. I'll show myself out.
Why don't I have this or the option to update yet?>
