Buy Tea, Get 600 Card Packs or Khadgar - Taiwan Gets a Hearthstone Promotion
This news comes to us from jknows26 on reddit.
Oh Khadgar you fool, you've done it again and gotten yourself trapped in a regional promotion! Blizzard is running a promo in Taiwan where you can purchase tea, obtain points, and redeem those points for Blizzard goodness. Hearthstone players have a couple of options.
- 500 Points - 1 Card Pack
- 2500 Points - Khadgar Hero
- Additional chance to win a grand prize of 600 card packs
You can check out the webpage they have up for the promotion over on GoBlizzard.tw. All the tea cartons have Hearthstone art on them, check them out below!
Loot Codes
It should also be noted that it states that codes can only be redeemed on "Asian" servers. For players outside of Taiwan, obtaining a code from someone within the country should be able to unlock the Hero for you on that region. The codes won't work for Europe or Americas though, so don't get your hopes up that this is a way to obtain Khadgar if he is missing from your collection. Buy at your own risk!
Historically Speaking
It has been 5 months since we last saw Khadgar popup. Back in February, Khadgar was available in China for a Heroes of the Storm promotion which required players to win 5 games. There is no word on whether we'll see Khadgar come back in a promotion targetted towards a Western audience. Every promotion last year targetted the East with China seeing him twice and South Korea once.
Wish the EU region could participate in events such as this....then again I see myself buying 12 rolls of cheese or something, for no reason
I hope they will make something like this in other region as well
Actually, accurate and relaxed. Thanks for waiting!
But I assume you are the forum's local troll? If not, you could have fooled me! I'll bite.
The prejudice here, is that people who do not live in the required area are denied access Khadgar. Whether or not I am entitled to own a Khadgar is of no concern to the terminology. I do not claim to have a right to Khadgar; that is a fabrication of your own design.
While the word prejudice is these days mostly used as a negative term, it is actually any preconceived opinion, act or feeling, either favorable or unfavorable.
So Blizzard decided beforehand that only Taiwanese people should have access to this promotion; the discrimination here is between Taiwanese and not-Taiwanese. Case closed, thanks for listening, have a nice day.
Chance of 600 packs*
click baiting cunt
When is EU getting a promotion like this? Never? Alright, thanks Blizzard.
I have no idea what you're talking about or what your point is. If you're a fan of Hearthstone and you go into a shop and see a carton of sweet tea / green tea on a shelf with Hearthstone art on it that says "GET A CHANCE TO WIN 600 PACKS OR KHADGAR MAGE HERO!" would you not buy it? Do you not like sweet tea or what? I mean sure, maybe then you wouldn't but I can't think of anybody I know who straight up despises the taste of store bought tea.
My bet is that they are thinking as long as HS is doing good there is no need to give us useful idiots stuff. So they'll wait until they release a really objectively boring and shitty expac and then start the promotion to keep us playing. Asia is just too competitive in card games so they have to go the extra mile to stay afloat. Here in Europe or in the Americas, HS is easily the top card game.
shame on you blizzard :P
The code does work for Europe's and America's server!
No, they dont
again asian region... ssly
Only a few European countries were able to get it
And Europe still can't get Tyrande and Khadgar,at east most of the countries in Europe. Like,why???
I can't remember how, but I got both. There were guides how to get them.
some time ago you could buy khadgar in a promotion for wwf, lasted about a week. And Tyrande was a twitch prime promotion, which i couldnt do because my bank card isnt suited for amazon. But even if it was i probably wouldnt make an account just for that.
I've captured the situation with a haiku:
The Tea in Taiwan
May Come With Hearthstone Prizes
But no Tea for You!
Hearthstone aside, I kinda want to have some of those tea cartons.
40 USD for Khadgar on ebay! almost same price as preorder for new expansion.
Why blizz allows such shenanigans?
Once again, EU didn't get anything except pack price increases, thanks bli$$ard
That's cool.
Did you pay 40USD?
imo, Tyrande promotion was "fair":
It required twitch prime amazon account, which is easy to create and use. Even if you can't there was a lot cheap codes on ebay.
Promo lasted more than a month, enough to acquire.
Khadgar promo was unfair:
It lasted only 10 days only for ios. I made a huge misplay by having a break during april 2016, silly me(
