Arthas is Your Lich King! Knights of the Frozen Throne Missions Information Roundup
We're seeing some information trickle out about the upcoming Expansion's Mission/Adventure content! Check out everything from this weekend so far down below.
- The Lich King will be manned by Arthas, not Bolvar.
- Some bosses or villians you fight during the Missions will also be featured in collectible cards.
- Missions will be harder than usual, but not every fight will be on the same level as Heroic bosses were.
- The prologue will see you fight with a pre-made deck.
- You'll see 2 wings with 6 bosses total after the Prologue. The Lich King is then in the third and final wing.
- The final battle against The Lich King will be different based on which class you choose to play.
- If you defeat The Lich King with all 9 classes, you will receive a special reward.
- They haven't meme'd up The Lich King. He's cold and cruel just like in Warcraft.

Quote from Ben BrodeHow hard will Ice Crown Citadel "adventure" be compared with old adventures? E.g normal is 0% and Heroic is 100%. 25% 50%? 75%?
Depends on the mission. Should be more of a challenge than old normal.
But not as hard as heroic?
Not for most of the fights. (Source)
Will the Lich King in Hearthstone be Bolvar or Arthas?

One free pack per wing they say. 3 wings = 3 packs :/
Maybe i'm missing something :x
We might get additional packs upon logging in though
In all likelihood, there'll be log in rewards or extra quests for packs as well, not just the 3 packs from the adventure. This is just the only thing we've gotten confirmation on right now
Glad to hear that.
Arthas' death in wow was already a petty meme, compared with how the character was built since wc3.
"Some bosses or villians you fight during the Missions will also be featured in collectible cards."
I really hope that Sindragosa will be a card.
but we already have a frost dragon card from tgt
Wtf are you even talking about.
I don't know what you are smoking mate,but i do know that whatever it is,i want it too :D

But What does that even mean? There hasn't BEEN a "usual" difficulty across adventure-like content. And it's not like there has only been a little variation; There's been A LOT. Is it going to be harder than Karazhan? I hope so because that was all ridiculously easy. Harder than Naxx or BRM? I hope not, some of that stuff was ridiculous. League of explorers difficulty seems like the in-between to me. Difficult, but nothing so stupidly hard like some of the ones from BRM especially (and I'm mostly talking about the heroic versions, by the way).
Normally there's a bug or technicality you could take advantage of to win the fights. Hopefully this time they're going to fix all of that to actually make it a challenge.
Karazhan unfortunately was still a complete cakewalk without bugs or exploits, but a less buggy experience is still good. obviously.
why wouldn't it?
I wish Arthas was available as a hero portrait. I would've loved to have him as an alternate Warrior portrait.
He might become a paladin hero (but his human version and not the deathknight one just like medivh became the mage hero.
"They haven't meme'd up The Lich King. He's cold and cruel just like in Warcraft."
Phew.
Inb4 cold and cruel means he doesn't say thank you at the end of the match if you beat him.
