Goblins vs Gnomes Trailer
Goblins vs Gnomes Gameplay
New Gameboard
The expansion features a new mechanical themed board.
New Card Pack
A new card pack will be purchasable in the shop for the same price as expert packs. It will only contain cards from the new expansion. This card pack will also be the only card pack which drops in arenas.
Gnome Card Back?
If you look at the key art for Goblins vs Gnomes, you will see that the Gnome has some gnomish looking card backs. The Goblin is using the goblin card back which is the November season reward. The gnome card back may appear in the game as the reward for a future ranked gameplay season.
Hearthstone: Fireside Chat Panel
The Goblins vs Gnomes expansion will be released during December 2014. It will contain 120 new cards.
Quote from Blizzard
- Ben Brode is on the stage and is giving us info on stats.
- The worst card in the game is Magma Rager, only winning 29% of the games its in
- Angry Chicken is not awful!
- 556 Defender of Argus are played for each Angry Chicken played.
- 56% chance to win if you draw a Baron Geddon!
- Control Warrior has a higher chance to win the more cards you draw.
- Average of two attempts to kill a Normal boss in Naxxramas.
- Some players took up to 65 attempts to beat Kel'Thuzad on Heroic. Heroic boss kills on average took 9 kills.
- Ben is now talking about skill and randomness in different games.
- Being a better problem solver will win you more games.
- Hearthstone is great because it creates stories for players.
Goblins vs Gnomes Expansion
- Eric Dodds is now on stage to talk about Goblins vs Gnomes!
- The stars of the show are going to be the crazy inventions that the Goblins and Gnomes create.
- They wanted to do more this time around for Hearthstone content.
- Do more for the multiplayer aspect of Hearthstone. Naxxramas was a solo player experience which rewarded you with cards, now you get to play against other players to get your cards (gold for packs)
- Naxxramas was a very serious place, grim even, so it's time for some fun with Goblins and Gnomes.
- Naxxramas was a geographical location, but Goblins and Gnomes are from all over Azeroth.
- They wanted to make an expansion that players would be passionate about; Even if it was you being passionate about wanting to destroy them!
- Goblins love their bombs. They're causing trouble for everyone.
- Madder Bomber is excited about blowing up yourself.
- Gnomes aren't as dangerous as goblins, but they love to experiment.
- Gnomish Experimenter has a chance to really backfire.
- The new board is both Goblin and Gnome themed.
- It's got lots of crazy stuff thanks to the art team, so get clicking.
- The real stars of the expansion are the Mechanical Minions. Mechanicals have a Mech race and there's interaction between them.
- Spider Tank is the most basic Mechanical unit. No effects, just stats.
- Mechwarper will allow you to summon in all the mechs.
- Classes are getting mechs too. Upgraded Repair Bot is a priest specific mechanical minion.
- Harvest Golem has always dreamed of being a mech, so now he's a mech!
- Other old cards will also become Mech.
- Mechanical Giant! Clockwork Giant is another minion in the Giant series. Giants effects are modified by different board conditions.
- Everyone gets weapons! Well, kind of. Blingtron 3000 gives you an your opponent weapon, which will be golden.
- The team isn't ready to give every class their own base weapons.
- They wanted to add cards which would "pilot" mechs. On death, they summon random minions!
- Piloted Shredder, Piloted Sky Golem, and Sneed's Old Shredder are these new piloted minions.
- Ragnaros the Firelord could easily pop out of Sneed's Old Shredder, and if he does, he will parachute out!
- Tinkering, aka Spare Parts. Spare Parts are pieces of mechs which have fallen off.
- There are 7 Spare Parts in total.
- Whirling Blades - Give a minion +1 attack. (1 mana)
- Armor Plating - Give a minion +1 attack. (1 mana)
- Reversing Switch - Swap a minion's Attack and Health. (1 mana)
- Goblin vs Gnome packs costs the same as expert packs, both gold and real money.
- Cards from the expansion can be disenchanted and crafted with Arcane Dust.
Spectator Mode
- Yong Woo is now on the stage to talk about Spectator Mode.
- Spectator mode will release with the new expansion.
- You can spectate by clicking the spectate button on your friends list when people are in the game.
- Spectator mode puts you into the view of your friend. It looks just like in-game.
- Spectators can hover over all elements independent of the player being spectated.
- As a player, you can see who is watching you playing, and how many people are watching you.
- You can make your games invite only for spectating, to keep people out.
- You can spectate two players at the same time for Tournament broadcasting through one client.
Arena Panel Recap
Spectator Mode
Quote from BlizzardAlongside Goblins vs Gnomes, we’re introducing Spectator mode so you and your friends can observe each others’ explosive battles, fiery strategies, and hard-won victories. If someone on your friends list is playing and has allowed spectators (enabled by default), you can jump into your pal’s game and watch right away!
Hearthstone World Championship
If you're into Hearthstone eSports, the World Championship is currently going on at BlizzCon!

Posted Nov 10, 2014 (Naxx Launch)The word "random" is used waaaaaaaaay too often on these cards. People don't play TCG's to see what crazy shit might happen. They play them to calculate what is very probable to happen. This expansion is like throwing darts in the dark and seeing who wins.

Posted Nov 8, 2014 (Naxx Launch)I'm not a fan of too many of these ones due to the RNG, but they look really cool. Like how we now have our 3 mana yeti. It's also coming out sooner than I thought it would, I figured late winter/early spring, so that's sweet.

Posted Nov 8, 2014 (Naxx Launch)V07Tron seems like a strictly better al'akir. Id gladly trade divine shield for +1 attack, +3 toughness, and +2 attacks per turn.
EDIT: Woops, missed the fact that its conditionally summoned by another card.

Posted Nov 9, 2014 (Naxx Launch)I know what you mean. One month feels like a year away. If I play today, all I'll be thinking about is how differently I'll be playing when I can get my hands on new cards.

Posted Nov 8, 2014 (Naxx Launch)Questions: 1) Mimiron's Head : It says if you HAVE at least 3 mechs...does this mean on board, in hand, or either?
2) Tinkertown Technician : If you CONTROL a mech...does this mean on board, in hand, or either?
Thanks a lot!

Posted Nov 8, 2014 (Naxx Launch)I agree with "control" probably means on board, but "having", to me, sounds like either on board or in hand...i dunno tho
