ALL Wild Hearthstone Sets are Returning
Old card sets are returning for purchase once more! Finally, newer players can play through the awesome Naxxramas and Blackrock Mountain adventures and experience Mechs en masse!
- Sets will be purchasable through the Battle.net website, not the in-game store.
- Likely only real life currency and not gold as the Battle.net website doesn't allow for gold purchases at this time.
- This will be extra awesome with the guaranteed no dupe Legendaries.
The sets that will be returning are:
- Curse of Naxxramas
- Goblins vs Gnomes
- Blackrock Mountain
- The Grand Tournament
- The League of Explorers
This announcement breaks an hour before the Hearthstone Wild Open begins.
Quote from BlizzardIf you yearn to return to the Wild, we have some good news for you!
In the coming weeks, ALL Wild sets—including Expansions and Adventures—will once again become available for purchase* on the Blizzard Shop at https://battle.net/shop/product/game/hearthstone!
The Wild calls to some. Maybe it’s the limitless potential of building a deck with any card at all. Perhaps it’s the allure of truly disgusting combos that were never meant to be. Some have never experienced Kel’thuzad’s legendary snark first-hand, or felt the searing heat of Blackrock Mountain (♪ a Hearthstone Adventure ♫)!
Whatever calls to you, get a taste of it by catching the Hearthstone Wild Open this weekend! Brush up on those survival skills by watching some of Wild’s finest players square off in the first official Wild tournament!
The quarterfinals begin today, July 1 at 10:00 a.m. PDT. Catch the semifinals and finals tomorrow, July 2, also starting at 10:00 a.m. PDT.
Watch the Wild action unfold on the official Hearthstone Twitch channel.
*Products will be available for purchase at regular price.
don't call it a comeback
...said Knock You Outtt!
Very nice to see that they decided to bring back the sets. Would have been nice to get the packs with gold at a discounted rate since they are wild but oh well. Hopefully the pricing cash wise is lower than normal but we will have to wait and see.
I don't get why they retired the adventures in the first place, they're a ton of solo content that new players can experience, but nope, not allowed.
I think the concept of Making Wild Great Again is lost on a lot of you. Wild has been getting a lot of support, as it should be. Blizzard sees that people really enjoy playing that format. Tavern Brawl is almost entirely dependent upon having cards from Wild in order to play half the time.
It's not a greedy move, but a necessary one. You guys should really think with your heads before you go sputtering off about what you feel is valid. Stop trashing them, for fuck sake. At least they make at attempt to keep the game operating. What have you done with your life in the past week that you're such a great person that you can just shit talk the devs at every turn? Cut them some slack, or fuck off.
Why remove them from the store in the first place, it wasn't even long ago? If the decision was a mistake then just reverse it, fine, we'd all be really pleased. But no, they have to go on an alternative store for money only.
While I understand the concept of just keeping things in the store instead of removing items, you have to keep in mind that a lot of people want a lighter version of mobile. Having more in the client could make everything heavier, make things take longer to load, animations being choppy, and the game taking up more space on your phone's storage. That's just one thing they were able to do for mobile players. I don't know why else they'd do it that's justifiable, but that's a big reason I can imagine they'd cite for removing items in the first place.
Getting real tired on Blizz's bait a switch marketing tactics...
Packs prices are up, volatile currencies...hey guys, massive sale now on packs!
Whole sets are rotated out, we don't want people getting confused, there is 'too much' content in our game, standard is the answer, they'll be gone forever, so stock up....hey guys, wild packs are back! no gold, sweet sweet cash only.
Here's an idea, stop trying to squeeze us like you want blood from a stone and no more fucking lazy bait and switch. As someone that works in marketing I know a low and deliberately planned blow when I see it.
For someone in marketing, it's odd that you have no idea what "bait and switch" means.
It's hard to even tell what you're mad about, honestly. If you bought packs when you thought you wouldn't be able to get them anymore, you still have them. It's not like they're going to be cheaper now than they were back then. But if you love Wild so much, shouldn't you be happy that you are able to get more?
Maybe ... just maybe ... they are making the packs available because Wild is more popular now, and people have been asking them to do this ever since the Year of the Kraken. How astonishing and greedy for a company to listen to its customers and sell them a thing they want to buy!
Will we ever be able to buy old monthly cardbacks or get new alternative hero skins to buy? I feel like Hearthstone shop is so empty all the time.. i don't remember the last time I actually went there.
Given how furious most of these thoughtless posters are, they would be crazy to fulfill your request and allow you to buy cardbacks. Most of these "fans" of the game seem to think charging money for anything in Hearthstone is a crime against humanity, so thank them for the fact that we can't have nice things.
So finally Naxx is out!
What if you bought them originally but dusted the cards and you want to buy them again?
Since you already bought the adventure, I doubt you'd be able to buy it again. If you want the cards you dusted back, you'll have to craft them.
Yeah, I bet you are right. Don't build deck while you are drunk or you'll end up dusting cards you didn't want to lol.
They will squeeze every penny in ur wallet lul
