Is Mecha Jaraxxus available for sale seperatly because I don't have 80 Bucks for this many packs
Hm does it make sense to save the Play a friend quest until the midsummer starts so you get 320 gold in one turn or play dices and hope you'll get it again once the midsummer starts? What do you guys think?
Unfortunately Blizz didn't say anything about the starting day.
In the past midsummer festival it worked like that, i see no reason to it not working that way this time arround.
I myself im keeping those quests for the festival.
If i buy both bundles, i got doble golden legendary ?
Yesss
Why in beta? the game has long passed this stage my friend. But I agree, the cost for those two bundles is waaaay overpriced. Id rather save the money and buy Ravnica's Display for MTG
Nice! I bought both pre-orders!
Cant wait to hit the ladder with all the freshly made decks that Hearthpwn will provide for me!!
where is the patch analysis hearthpwn way :)
I am having the same problem, whenever I play all the portraits are white
For those unhappy about the new skin being stuck behind a paywall, I suggest you follow these instructions for "Home Brew Mecha Jaraxxus"
1) Build a Warlock Deck with Jaraxxus in it.
2) Play the deck from step 1, and survive long enough to cast Jaraxxus.
3) Cast Jaraxxus!
4) Using a metallic silver permanent marker, "update" Jaraxxus to include his mechanical parts. You'll need to draw right on your screen.
5) Open your speaker and physically damage the internal components. If done correctly, this will cause the sound to be garbled and mech-like. You may need to try this on several sets of speakers or several different devices to get the desired effect.
6) Enjoy your Home Brew Mecha-Jaraxxus without giving Blizzard 80 dollars!
7) Bonus: To play as HBMJ again, simply repeat step 2 and 3!
8) Double Bonus: All of your other Heroes will be able to enjoy the permanently added mechanical upgrades and the new mech-like sound from now on!
i don´t think that a machine can be a demon.
It's a skin not a card.
Just buy the both pre-orders to get all cards!
This is what this patch did to me:

lel get baited by ea games you now have to pay 372.66 to play with textures again
when does the fire festival start? i would hate to lose 50-60 gold because i dont know when i need to have all 3 quests.
They allow you to buy more packs for discounted price plus bonus golden legendary -> Heathstone is getting more expensive.
Please tell me what kind of logic is this
You know that was a promotion right? Before that it was way higher, thats why blizzard never gives promotions, you lower you'r standards everyone starts crying after.
You can't pay, leave, you don't like the game? Leave.
More important here, when is the festival dates?
good logic b/c its baiting u to spend more money by discounted the completely ridiculous prices to slightly less but still completely ridiculous prices.
its hard to love this game and be someone who wants to have a chance at winning.
This price is pretty consistent with the cost of previous bundles, typically 50 for 50. Or you can pay 70 for 80 and a hero portrait (which the other purchasable portraits are 10)
