Winter Veil is Coming! New Card Back, Bundle Deal, Free Packs Through Quest
Winter Veil has hit the asian Hearthstone servers and will soon be out in Europe and the Americas. We heard about the holiday again in the Rastakhan's Rumble patch notes.
- Winter Veil Returns on December 18.
- There is a new card back that will be rewarded via a suspected tavern brawl.
- A new quest gives you 4 Boomsday packs for simply playing 100 cards in play mode.
- A bundle is available that gives you 30 packs for 20 bucks.
- You should be able to wish other heroes a Happy Feast of Winter Veil with an emote.
- Orgrimmar and Stormwind game boards will become snowy.
We'll let you know if anything fun pops up that we don't yet know about.
Winter Veil Wonder Bundle
Blizzard has introduced a bundle into the store as well that will cost $20 USD or 20 EUR. In contained 30 card packs, six each of the 5 expansions prior to Rastakhan's Rumble. Seriously though, why is it so difficult to include some of the new expansion packs? At least we're not Heroes of the Storm and essentially had our game cancelled this holiday season.
New Card Back
Previous Winter Veil
We first saw Winter Veil three years ago in 2015. It brought a new card back through the Gift Exchange Tavern Brawl which in turn brought forth complaints about the reward not being a free pack. Fast forward to 2016 and instead of complaints about a card back, there were complaints because we had no brawl at all for the holiday season! It was instead was brought back in February 2017.
Last year in 2017 we had a new brawl, Wacky Waxy Winter Veil which was themed for Kobolds & Catacombs, the expansion that had just launched. No card back reward though, instead we received 3 Frozen Throne card packs. Going back to a card back reward, and a new one at that, is a nice change!
This concluded a brief history of Winter Veil in Hearthstone.
It's still a good deal.
I spoke about free Boomsday packs and they rotating after 1,5 year.
What you will do with you money is up to you and doesn't make any sense to comment obvious thing how the standard year works.
I wonder at people getting mad at the bundle. Just, don't buy it if you don't like it?
Btw, it's a great deal for those who want to switch to Wild: it'll be much more expensive to catch up with the Wild meta via dust, after next Rotation.
I can understand the frustration, but you can choose, you're losing nothing here.
3 legys and 1 golden legy thx for the bundle
And then....
... you woke up!
I know 'savage' is a sort of meme these days but how was HoS canceled? I thought Diablo was...
HotS recently had a bunch of their developers moved to other projects, and there won't be any more officially sponsored tournaments for it, so with that Blizzard has essentially acknowledged that it's a dying game
Couldn't you have warned a little earlier? Like, a week ago or something? Because of that I missed a quest (I keep them at 2 and refresh the 3rd every day).
Same thing happened to me either. Bah
lazy Blizz needs to implement a special quest slot or something. its pathetic after 5 years no new anything really. guess that's what they get for being so greedy, plummeting stock and people abandoning ship.
look, i dig that blizz is trying to utilize bundles to encourage other sets besides whatever is newest.
But they need to know better. Like, 18 of these packs rotate from standard in a few months, why do i want them at such a "meh" discount?
If anything they should stick to 10/10/10 of the 3 latest sets.
Only 12 and in 4 months. I think is a great deal.
6 of ungoro, 6 of knights, and 6 of kobolds, all of which rotate in 4/few (same diff) months = 18
12 is the packs that stay for another year, so cool that you think its great, I don't.
We have been asking constantly for years for them to offer 'deals' to get older packs cheaper. And when they do apparently that's still bad.
I literally start the comment with "I dig that blizz is trying to promote older sets" im just saying can they promote them before half of those promoted sets rotate into a mode that is going down faster than the votes on apparently any comment about it.
But go off i guess.
why do some people forget that there r players who play wild ? :/
dust is dust... works both for Wild and Standard.
It would be nice to have a 4th quest slot for this extra eventquests. I don't know how often a quest got overwritten by this.
Yeah, free packs are always nice, thanks blizz.
Always money that's all blizzard cares about. They'd make more money if they did not try to suck every last dime out of their players but no businesses care about their customers. So why should blizzard be any different. Look how they screwed the heros of the storm players.
They tried it, they gave it a good go, it didn't really make an impact in the MOBA market. They can't be expected to go on supporting it forever.
Also you have a really unhealthy view about 'business' in general. Maybe unsubscribe from Occupy Democrats and expand your world view a little.
