Quote from BlizzardIn the year of the Mammoth, you embarked on many memorable quests! You explored steamy jungles in search of primordial mysteries in Journey to Un’goro. You embraced the deadly power of the Lich King in Knights of the Frozen Throne. You delved deep into trap-infested tunnels to loot incredible treasures in Kobolds & Catacombs. Now, one last legendary quest remains in the Year of the Mammoth, and the rewards are beyond your wildest dreams!
Introducing the Quest for Packs Sweepstakes!
Everybody loves opening Hearthstone card packs. . . . How would you like a chance to open 3,000 of them?
To celebrate the amazing adventures we had together in the Year of the Mammoth, starting at 17:00 GMT on February 1 and up until 17:00 GMT on February 14, each daily Quest* you complete during the Quest for Packs grants you one entry for a chance to win 3,000 Hearthstone card packs, the Lich King’s helm, and more!

So having 3 quest by the time it starts give no advantage

Posted Feb 2, 2018 (Kobolds Patch)Having 3 quests actually is an advantage, as it gives you more possibilities when you roll for new quests (x). Then you can scrap the 40g quests. And you can’t stock up quests during the 14 days (if you want max chance in lottery), so you need them in advance.

Posted Feb 2, 2018 (Kobolds Patch)I might miss something here but how exactly do they handle the 1-entry-per-day-thing?
Lets say the event kicked of in February 1st at 18 pm local time (germany). So if I clear a daily quest at 18:01 pm (and see the ingame banner) I'm fine, first entry.
Now, do I have to wait until February 2nd 18:01 pm to finish the second entry quest? If so, how do achieve 14 entries? The Event finishes on February 14th 18 pm local time, up until then I will only have 13 entries.
Where did I brainfart?

Posted Feb 2, 2018 (Kobolds Patch)The Day in Germany starts at 0:00, so we have on the first and last day less time to do the quest.

do I have to to do ONLY one EACH day to be able to get all 14 entries to count ?? for example: if I do two in space of 10mins, I will loose d second one ?
so I can't do three quests every three days, it will count as one entry ??

Posted Feb 2, 2018 (Kobolds Patch)anyone understand what the uk tax implications would be for the lucky winner?
would be unfortunate (and admittedly hilarious) if the grand prize came with a £600 customs charge for example, and that sort of thing isnt out of the question given blizz’s aggressive t+c and the UK’s taxes on anything coming over from the US.

Posted Feb 1, 2018 (Kobolds Patch)again, there aren't 70 millons, a lot of those acounts are just deadth or forgotten extra accounts that people made for x reason, and, tons of players are out of chances because of country restriction, so you have more chances thatn you think, good luck dude

Posted Feb 1, 2018 (Kobolds Patch)We need something consistent
Like one guy will get 3k packs
That will take like 3 days to open
And others will get nothing
They better made 1000 people get 100 packs or something
3k is overkill

Posted Feb 1, 2018 (Kobolds Patch)Exactly. HS had 70 million playerbase by May 2017. I bet it is even bigger now. The chance of you being one of 51001 rewarded players is roughly about 0,1% (I did the maths). Even if we change 70M to 7M it's still only 1%.
I don't know if Blizzard planned it well because they want to hype everyone about it and most players will get nothing anyways. Still, would be great to even hear about someone getting these 3k packs.
