Enjoying the Special Hearthstone Events? They Won't Stop Here!
We've begun to cool off from Ragnaros' Midsummer Fire Festival with Ahune's arrival this week. According to Iksar, they aren't done here and we'll be seeing more special events in the future. These events have been in the works for some time.
Over a year ago, a dedicated team was created for Brawls, Fireside Gatherings, and the special events we're now experiencing. It looks like we're finally getting to see the fruits of their labor.
Quote from IksarHSGlad you like them. In the last year and a half or so we dedicated a team to what we call live-content that includes brawls, fireside gatherings, events like these, and a bunch of other cool stuff. I've been excited for these two events to go live for awhile now and I know they have a bunch of other things in store for the future you all will enjoy. Thanks for the feedback!
How did Gwent encourage them to create this team over a year ago?
Eh, just more people with a hate-boner for Blizzard and Hearthstone. It's a sign the game is doing well, that you have it's detractors whining and mewling around for years after they supposedly left, making sure nobody forgets about them.
World of Warcraft has been riding that tear-wave for over a decade. It's nice to know that HS has it's own anti-cheerleaders.
I always wished that they would create a way to get free tickets to the arena. It's a great way to promote arena and get people some experience in there, which can be daunting and expensive to learn. Wish these free tickets happened every week and wasn't part of an event, but that's probably asking for a lot. Arena is an underused game mode in Hearthstone.
Want to keep the player base happy and involved? Keep stuff like this coming! As a more casual player, I've always stayed away from Arena, so the free run was a blast. Now give us an event where we can earn a random class legendary!
Gwent-mi-lady.
And what is wrong or strange about that? Having strong competition is always good for the customer.
These events brought me back to Hearthstone from Elder Scrolls: Legends. Mission accomplished, keep it up Blizzard!
Gwent is probably the best thing that has happened to Hearthstone.
competition in general. Without competition there just wasn't any economical impulse for them to improve the game
Ah, yes. You are absolutely right.
they predicted gwent release over a year ago PogChamp
no they just saw about a year and a half ago that other online ccgs were popular and giving people free stuff was part of where they excelled, so hearthstone started trying to make that happen, slowly at first since blizzard is greedy but after a few such things at small scale went well, blizzard probably let up and said go for it, and then they had to start making these cool things but before that they probably were told to get something out as fast as they could which is where the free single copy of a terrible epic idea came in. I will never play gwent though, because all of the competitors to hearthstone bore me after a while, and gwent has literally nothing new, so why even try.
These events are the best thing that happened in Hearthstone maybe since it's launch. Keep up the good work.
I'd like to see adventure-style missions exactly created for events like these. Brawl is more than fine for sure but gimme that Ahune as a Boss!
I love these events. They bring something new and fresh to the game.
Warcraft universe has so much unique and interesting holidays and events it would be such a treat to see some of them implimented int heir own way to Hearthstone.
I am looking forward to Hallow's End, Darkmoon Fair (if it won't be implimented as an expansion later), maybe an Invasion event, wow had few of these, and of course Brewfest.
I play dota 2 and it is kind of hilarious what holiday things dota stole from wow but changed just enough that it is not copyrighted.
With a double gold you get lets say 50 gold a day, 350 gold a week. With free arena run you will guaranteed to get 2 packs (Ungoro for playing and Kinghts for quest) worth 200 gold and possible other rewards. You may get more than from the double gold festival, depends on your skill.
