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!
Do the arena tickets accumulate? As in if I don't play this week I will have 2 tickets for next?
You better ask this question to the Blizzard Support directly - here you can only get some assumptions
It seems that the quests do, as long as you leave two spaces open
Let's have an event like this for each WoW Holiday! Plus whatever else they can come up with!
Am I greedy? Hmm... maybe... but sometimes greed is good ;)
It would barely be a minute
I'm glad blizzard is doing these events. It actually motivated me to log onto HS every day. I can't wait to do arena runs in skype these upcoming weeks
what? arena runs on skype?
Bring back double gold quests!
Yes, the double gold quests were great. The new events are nice but more gold buys more card packs ;)
Or just give double gold permanently, to be on par with earnings in other FTP CCG's. I play two other card games and can easily earn enough for a pack a day with just one daily quest. This game takes double that.
Totally agree, it's nice to get access to a game mode some people might not otherwise get to play.
i would dig something like play 10/win 5 arena games win a ticket as a quest
I'm waiting for the Heart Festival.
No, earth and air festivals next. :P
Glad to hear there is more to come.
Things like this help spice the game up when it gets stale between sets.
If Arena play has spiked as a result of this event (I mean people spending coins and real money, not just the free roll), they should strongly consider a free run each time Heroic TB hits. Having to shell out a significant amount of money or coins will definitely deter many, but if you have someone get a free run and win 7 or 8 games they normally wouldn't have, I bet they'd feel more inclined to try again.
yeah because the number of people who are not great at the game playing these modes increases when there is one free run and some bad players get super lucky, a large number of mid-high level players that would otherwise avoid the heroic tavern brawl would try it and do super well, and then a number of the people who did well would try again, that would probably get more people playing it than if they did not give a free run, even after the free run, and then a smaller but similar effect would happen where the pool of players would decrease to be better players each cycle and by the end it would be back to the normal number of people who play on the first day normally. Blizzard gets more money, community gets free stuff, heroic tavern brawl becomes a real interesting community thing instead of a weirdly elitist the best players do it and the rest of us are saving for the next expansion.
Personally I never even considered to leave HS for GWENT or any other "rival" but I am happy to collect free fruits after many other player did.
Thanks GWENT !
