Hearthstone Price Changes Coming to Europe
Hearthstone goodies are about to get more expensive in Europe to "align with local and regional market conditions". These new prices go live on the 22 of March, before the new expansion goes live in April. We're assuming there will be no change to the current Un'Goro pre-order purchase and recommend getting in on that while you can.

I'm not sure about the after the standard rotation, but according to the the latest VS report Dragon Priest is T1 at the moment.
Because they're not getting the same amount of money from it anymore. GBP and € are currently worth a fair bit less than before brexit (when converted to dollars).
I mean I agree, packs are too expensive, but raising prices due to volatile currency is a thing in every single international market.
It's not like they decide prices on a whim anyway. € to $ conversion was often 1:1 anyway. Now Blizz pulls this bullshit as well.
Or that it is now costing Blizzard 50% more to print their virtual cards in the UK...
EU FeelsBadMan
adjust based on local price ? Joke. They just convert all equal to us dollar price.
my country 4.5= 1USD. So 2 pack is around 13.5 . Really expensive.
only china get discounted price based on Chinese Yen. 2.99 Yen 2 packs. Wtf, very unfair.
Why doesn't this affect heroic brawl? I feel like it's too cheap...raise the price to 20€ plz.... :^)
I want in Polish 40pack for 500PLN you can do it blizzard
So now they're making the game even more expensive, first 3 expansions a year, and now the packs, you were already going to buy more of if you aren't f2p, are becoming more expensive too. Because they don't earn enough already.
This needs to be sticky.
GET THIS MAN TO THE TOP.
We don't have cents. It's eighter 3 or 2,95 .
We don't have 2,99 prices.
funny how they thought it was better to make it 3 instead of 2.95, never seen such a greedy game
Well, I was going to buy more packs, now I won't. In fact I would have bought many more packs in the past if they weren't so god damned expensive...
I mean you can look at it this way, I'm willing to spend X amount of money per year on the game. When Blizzard increases the pricing I'm still going to spend the same amount, but get less packs. If Blizzard drops the pricing I'm also still going to spend the same amount, but get more packs. Changing the pricing doesn't affect Blizzard, but it affects me, and at one point I will decide that it's too much and just go completely F2P, and then Blizzard will get nothing...
The only logical reason for setting pack prices high is to prevent people from getting all the cards they need too cheaply, at which point they won't want to buy packs anymore. That would sort of make sense, if not for the fact that they are now releasing 3 expansions per year so the demand will actually go up, not down.
Conclusion: Greeeeeeeeed...
thats the point; i even think they would sell more and make more profit if they would lower the price. i mean it doesnt cost them anything, its a digital item. it would appeal much more people.... for myself, i would have bought probably more packs in the past with a lower price.
like 30% off; would've increased my order around 50%?
This change is probably less due to greed and more due to the falling foreign currency exchange rates compared to the US Dollar in certain regions of the world.
I was thinking how to manage this change, however, since I'm playing Hearthstone I have been spending less money in beer or other drinks, so I think I will do the same. I mean, I could sacrifice other habits/entertainment in order to have fun.
The thing is if I am really having fun playing (and losing) against no-brain decks (aggro, pirates, etc). I think I will give Blizzard a last opportunity with Un'Goro and see what we are having in return. I really hope it works because I really like the game.
