Hearthstone Wild Packs Have Returned to the Shop
Wild sets have returned to the Hearthstone shop this afternoon, but only on the Battle.net website!
- Sets will be purchasable through the Battle.net website, not the in-game store.
- Only real life currency can be spent and not gold as the Battle.net website doesn't allow for gold purchases at this time.
These are the sets you can buy once again:
- Curse of Naxxramas [View our Guide]
- Goblins vs Gnomes [View our Guide]
- Blackrock Mountain [View our Guide]
- The Grand Tournament [View our Guide]
- The League of Explorers [View our Guide]
So if you want to pickup content any of these sets, and you can foot the bill, go go go!
Card Pack Changes Live!
More exciting news! The previously announced card pack changes are now live! If you want some more information, we have a complete rundown of the changes here.
- You will no longer receive duplicate Legendary cards.
- You will receive a guaranteed Legendary within the first 10 card packs opened of a new set.
- The Starter Pack Legendary follows the non-dupe rule too!
Excited? We are!
Blog Post
Quote from BlizzardIn our previous blog, we mentioned that we wanted to improve your card pack opening experience by removing the possibility of opening a duplicate Legendary until you own all Legendary cards of a given set. We also touched on the other card pack improvement of never being able to open more than two copies of a single card in a single pack. Both changes were slated to go live with the official launch of Knights of the Frozen Throne in August.
We have some good news! All card pack changes that were mentioned in this blog are NOW LIVE! We decided to have this feature go live as soon as possible so you could continue to flesh out your collection before Knights of the Frozen Throne goes live.

At least I won't get any more duplicates ( I got 3 x the caverns below :( , im f2p btw ) in the future, so thanks anyways blizzard, keep up with the good work like this that will benefit new players.
Nice, but what about pity timer bug?
So the 10-packs-legendary only counts for sets from Frozen Throne onwards, right?
If you hadn't opened GvG for example,it works too. I think.
it applies to any set that you have not previously opened any packs from. so for most players, from Frozen Throne onward, yes. for newer players, it could be many past sets as well.
Do we know when Blizzard will give us compensation for the pity timer bug?
Did sb try it in EU? Wanna be sure :D
It says "Battle.net store doesn't allow gold purchases »at this time«". Does that mean they will enable it during this promotion or they are just reminding us it's a standard thing?
And they're being sold at full price, despite the fact that these sets are old. Does depreciation not exist for Blizzard?
And why do we have to pay for card packs of the expansions? Why can't we just buy the full expansion set instead?
What kind of comment is this??? For u to buy the whole expansion blizzard would probably charge $300. Why would they do it any different than other standard sets (where you have to buy card packs.)
if they discounted old packs you could essentially buy dust at a reduced rate, unless they reduced the dust from disenchanting old sets. but then standard-only players would complain every time a rotation comes around and they get a pittance for the cards they dust. so there's no perfect way to do it, the fact that they're back at all is a positive change that's been a long time coming
You want to know why it's real life currency only?
Guys yous hould really do a value guide on what to Unlock for people, like first 2 wings of Naxx for Loatheb, and First wing of Brm for Emperor as the standard neutrals most usable cards instead of linking them to possibly outdated guides, like for example the 4th wing of blackrock is not necessary to craft because imp gang boss and flamewaker are better off crafted with dust, and same ggoes for the 4th winx of naxx because of the raritys of mad scientist and deathlord.
In the future will it be possible to buy these packs / adventures with gold?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAH
It may be shocking but some people actually play wild and if you're low on cards or weren't around for one of these sets its way better value to buy packs.
also if you have never opened any packs previously you are guaranteed a legendary on the first ten packs. so...its pretty nice for new players.
Just make it purchasable again with in-game gold Blizzard..
Awesome, i will still wait for KoFT to open my packs though.
