No Naxxramas This Week
We now have official confirmation that Naxxramas will not be released this week. Go back to your normal sleeping schedules!
Quote from @Hearthstone_ESThe plan is still to Curse of Naxxramas out in July, but not this week ;-)
Deck Spotlight: Black and Blue Warrior
In today's Deck Spotlight we're taking a look at Blackacre's Black and Blue Control Warrior! Black and Blue has been Blackacre's friend on his road to Legend this season and it may be yours too. This Control Warrior deck is a bit different than your normal control warrior deck as Blackacre feels the old style has been pushed too far out of the meta. The deck was built with Miracle Rogue in mind while keeping the strengths of the warrior class overall. Clocking in at 5640 Arcane Dust, Black and blue is almost half the crafting cost of the old style of control warrior; So you should definitely give it a shot!
Check out the deck below and the full deck guide over here to start the execution!

Naxxramas Blues
Quote from BlizzardI would like to ask, does Blizzard have any plans about changing some cards in the current meta that have been overlypowerful after the release of Naxx
No current plans to change any cards, but we will be keeping an eye on things as time goes on. - Zeriyah (Source)Has there been any official explanation of how Naxx cards will be integrated into arenas?
Naxxramas cards from each Naxxramas wing will show up in Arena as soon as that wing is released. - Aratil (Source)We generally don't announce a release date for the announcement of a release date.
Yeah, I get that, but for WoW we got a release date for 5.4 three weeks before it released. For Naxx it's going to be what, 2 weeks notice at maximum if we get a release date by Thursday and Naxx comes on the 31st? Maybe 1 week or less?
Please keep in mind this is our first Adventure for Hearthstone. As Aratil mentioned earlier this week, we've still got some back-end work to do. That means timelines might have to shift around, which isn't great (for any of us), but it is necessary. We'd prefer to let you guys know of a specific release date when we have a reasonable degree of confidence that it won't need to change. - Zeriyah (Source)
Firstly, they never mentioned any rewards other than cards & the card back for clearing heroic mode.
Secondly and more importantly, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to charge people gold for entering a wing only to reward them with gold for clearing it.
This is the same as saying that Arena awards shouldn't be gold because it costs gold to enter... Oh wait the award for Arena can be gold! Your hero will get xp that's one thing we know.
No it doesn't. There are plenty of achievements that have a one time gold reward.
Still a lot of unrevealed Naxx cards. They could have a massive impact on the meta game. So nothing to worry about the current meta game at the moment ^^
"the plan is still to release Curse of Naxxramas out in July, but not this year ;-)"
That last post by Zeriyah is a little disheartening. It makes me feel like they're starting to put their hand on the backdoor, getting ready to say, "Well we thought we were on track for a July release, but it didn't happen. Sorry guys."
I know that a) he's not saying that yet and b) it's their game and if they feel it needs to be delayed then it does.
So far, I've felt very confident that they'd hit their mark in July but with just over 2 weeks and no release date announced I'm starting to get a little worried.
Hopefully, it's for nothing and they get it out and we all love it. But they are making me nervous.
I'm starting to lose more and more hope of actually playing this game for years to come (like I planned). I'm sure the adventures will be really fun when they actually come out but the game just seems like it's turning into a phone app game to me where you just kind of play it for a couple of mins when you get bored.
I'm still playing the game a lot atm and wanting to have a lot of hope for the game but idk anymore (at least getting my 100 gold a day from grinding if not playing more games).
My rant for the month : P
Well, every adventure coming forth is supposedly going to be MUCH quicker than this.
My next problem is going to be Set 2, which I expect to get announced around PAXPrime or BlizzCon.
Unless they plan to do a second Adventure beforehand.
I know it's their first adventure and they should get a little slack on time for making it I agree. I just don't like all the little "teasers" they do through the community that makes me annoyed more then anything else not the actual delaying.
I'm sure their future adventures will come out a lot faster (at least I hope). I just pray they don't try to do anything special when they release the actual sets. Who knows how long that would take then 1-3 years lol.
Next week is SDCC, are they planning to release it before or during?
Or do they plan on using SDCC to go 'OMG CURSE' and we don't get it until after they're back?
Very disappointing.
Does Blizzard normally do anything at SDCC?
Its dependable? I know there is a panel with Metzen about Blizzard Merch and Licensed products.
Legendary Pictures is going to show off the Warcraft film, probably.
They have a decent sized booth, I think.
It probably won't get in the way of release, but you never know what happens.
It will come out eventually and when it does.... i'll still be ready......maybe with some time on the weekend..... I get a month to get the first wing for free so that saves me 700g.... so no complaint there!
Naxxramas looks like an april fool's prank.
