Khadgar Returns as a Heroes of the Storm Promotional Reward.. in China
I bet you got really excited there for a second!
Khadgar, the alternate Mage hero that was introduced just over a year ago through an iOS World Wildlife Fund promotion has returned! That is of course assuming you're playing on the right server but hey, at least it doesn't require owning an Apple device!
This is the second alternate Hero that has returned in a fresh promotion, the first being Tyrande back in January for Southeast Asia.
Obtaining Khadgar
This time around, Khadgar is only available to players in China via a promotion for another Blizzard title, Heroes of the Storm.
Khadgar will be given out for free to players in China that win 5 games in Heroes of the Storm with a friend. This promotion will last one month and will run from June 30 until July 31.
Original Availability
Khadgar was originally not available in China during the promotion in April 2016, so this is the first time the region will get to play as him. It was stated at that time he would show up after the promotion ended for players on that server at a time and method yet to be determined.
Khadgar's Return Worldwide?
We don't know if this promotion is going to be extended to any other regions right now, but it certainly would be nice! Back in our original post for Khadgar, we asked everyone if they thought Blizzard should release more Heroes on only one platform. In a totally surprising response, almost 85% of the 73,197 respondents said no.
Now we ask, should Khadgar make his return?
Green?
It's not easy bein green when your not.... dont be racist....hes green on the inside.
For all you kids about to go to marketing school, learn this: offering all you clients the same opportunities is bad, what you have to do is select some countries that will eventually get something extra and some that will never get anything someone else isn't getting.
That's how you make your clients around the world know just how much you value them, you selectively treat some of them like shit.
Blizz should make it a 'for sale' hero in China, for charity, like they did here. That would be fair.
Already have it :3 nice $5 bucks spended!
Fck off! :>
What about new players who want an opportunity to obtain Khadgar? New players may want to purchase him too if he is not free, which logically speaking he would not be in the event that he reappears.
An item's exclusivity is a measure of its rarity and value, so it's natural that those who bought Khadgar earlier wouldn't like for a free release such that everyone would have it. Then again, if Blizzard did offer him once more, he would likely not be free as he is in China as that voids the exclusivity aspect and also loses out on potential revenue. New players, Blizzard, the WWF (or another good cause) and those with regrets are then all winners.
Personally I'd rather pay $5.00 for the hero than have to waste my time with playing Heroes of the Derp.
And I'd personally would rather play HotS for about 30-40min than waste 5$ for a skin
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Personally I'd rather play Heroes of the Storm than play Hearthstone when I have the time. I don't need a HS hero or Overwatch skin to motivate me.
Always feeling better after getting a few bitches with stitches :)
You're being very optimistic on game time. On average games can take 30 to 40 minutes. I value my time over money.
They they have either fixed matchmaking or you are playing LOL/DOTA. I've had very few matches go up to 40 minutes and I've been playing since beta. League is between 30-40 and DOTA is like 40+. If you think a HOTS match is long than mobas aren't for you.
Assuming that Tyrande and Lyadrin appeared on all HS servers accounts - this will bring Khadgar to all servers accounts too, so its a good news.
Also i playing Hots and can say that winning 5 games with (random) friend against lowest level bots is a 30-min deal.
Since it was not available in the previous promotion, I'm cool with China getting Khadgar. I don't want him to return worldwide because it was for charity, a good cause. It would only be fair to return as a charity event, again.
It was available for charity on iOS devices, afaik. It would cool to open it for all platforms including PC and Android.
Ok, so blizz made a promotion of app store in which you were able to buy this skin EXCLUSIVELY and later on they make it obtainable ? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THEM? Why did I spent my 7 bucks to buy this "exclusive" shit when they offer it later again? Thats fucng oxymoron goin on here.
It was for charity.
I know omg, but it was said it is going to be exclusive!
I don't know if you know how to read, but it's said in the article that Kadghar wasn't available in China during the promotion event in April 2016 so what's wrong with giving them the opportunity to get him? Stop crying like a baby and learn how to read ffs.
