Kripparrian Could Have Killed Hearthstone.. By Disenchanting Dupes
Our friendly neighbourhood Ben Brode was out on a stroll this evening on reddit and let us in on an interesting bit of knowledge.
Kripparrian could have killed the Hearthstone servers!
How so? Apparently when you have as many cards to disenchant as Kripp, more on that in a moment, the servers simply would not have been able to handle it. Ben Brode says they're probably okay now though since TGT, when the engineers did some fun stuff with pixies and magic.
Quote from Ben BrodeThere was a point in time (pre-TGT?) when, if he had hit the button, he would have brought down Hearthstone.Thanks to the hard work of our engineers, we are probably ok now.
fingers crossed
Why Does Kripparrian Have So Many Dupes?
Kripparrian has amassed a crazy collection of duplicate cards on his quest to a full golden collection. He doesn't want to disenchant anything until he is able to craft them all in one go, and according to his updated spreadsheet, he's actually not that far off.
Reddit user drac72 predicts he needs to open around 700 more packs to get the needed dust, which is going to run Kripp somewhere around $600. Good luck Kripp!
Find Kripp on Twitch
You can tune in to his stream over at Twitch.tv/nl_kripp.
He himself said his average is 7 wins so yeah doing 12-1,12-0 is pretty common xD
Great title guys... (irony off)
Clickbait title..plz don't become Buzzfeed v2
A more realistic title would have been: "Kripp could have crashed HS servers".
Yours is way more clickbait. At least in the current title you actually have a better understanding of whats going on here, especially when paired with the front page description.
Next time we'll be sure to go with something like
"Kripparrian could have killed the Hearthstone servers and you won't believe why!"
"Is Kripparrian the one true god of Hearthstone? Blizzard hates him!"
Isnt "crashing hs servers" equal "crashing hs"?
Anyone who was confused by this headline is too stupid for ANY headline to make sense. There's no way a single player of a video game can permanently destroy that game.
I can't wait to see him actually push that damn button...
breaking news on this site: kriparrian does exist
And the crazy thing is he didn't pay for almost any of them. Amazon and arena wins gave him the vast majority.
This is so far from the truth. Recently, he said that he paid 3000 dollar for MSG packs, most of them were paid by his amazon sponsorship.
I have doubts about 3k. He didn't open that much. He opened around 1k packs himself and got 299, cause of bug apologies. No way that costs 3k dollars.
But still - he does sunk a chunk of money on the release of each expansion - I think, it was even more on WotOG, cause he had no sponsors that time. He buys packs to the point, he has all cards, except maybe few legs. So that's still much more, than any average player.
How do you spend 3000 dollars on 1000 packs?
Not exactly sure why I am downvoted and you are upvoted for agreeing with me? Amazon has paid for almost every cash transaction he has done in the game. With the most recent expansion amazon gave him over 1500$ for packs.
Tfw Kripp can almost afford every golden card in the game and I probably can't craft all the commons feelsbadman
Actually 600$ is not too much for him (from twitch subs)
because a big part of the people that watch him are interested in him finishing this. If he just drops the money and gets it over with he'll probably loses some viewers/sub because that wait is over. By stretching it out for as long as possible he'll make more money.
