Frequently asked questions regarding Descent of Dragons expansion...
[Q] -> Can you play multiple Sidequests at the same time?
[A] -> You can have 2 in your deck, but like secrets, while one is active you can’t play the second copy of it.
[Q] -> Does Questing Explorer work with Sidequests?
[A] -> Yes.
[Q] -> Can Sidequests be generated by other cards (Magic Trick for example)?
[A] -> Yes, since Sidequests are more broadly completeable by nearly any deck of their class, they can be generated/Discovered.
[Q] -> Can Deathwing, Mad Aspect clear newly reborned or resurrected minions? (eg. If opponent has Restless Mummy on board, can he also clear the reborned copy?)
[A] -> He’ll attack all minions that were on the board when he was played, he won’t attack things that were created by their Deathrattles/Reborn.
[Q] -> If we are playing the Nozdormu the Timeless at 4 mana, are we going to get 6 mana 0 mana or 10 mana to spare?
[A] -> Nozdormu the Timeless *sets* both players to 10 max mana, doesn’t change your current available mana amount. If you’re at 4/4 and play it, then you’re at 0/10. If you’re at 7/7 and play it, then you’re at 3/10.
[Q] -> Is the Virtual Ticket legendary also counted into the expansion legendaries pool? So are we going to get only 4 more neutral ones?
[A] -> Yes there only 4 more Neutral Legendaries.
[Q] -> Are we going to also get golden Galakronds for free or are we supposed to craft them?
[A] -> No, Golden Galakronds are only craftable and disenchantable.
[Q] -> The EVIL classes will contain 3 legendaries this time?
[A] -> Yes.
[Q] -> The total number of cards in this expansion will be 140 this time, right?
[A] -> Yes.
[Q] -> Will Galakronds show up in packs?
[A] -> No, they won't.
[Q] -> Will the free 5 Galakronds be disenchantable?
[A] -> No, they won't.
[Q] -> What will happen after the 90 days period for the free Galakrond copies? Can we open them in packs after?
[A] -> They won’t show up in packs, they work like C’Thun. After the 90 days if you own a Descent of Dragons pack and you head to the pack opening screen you’ll get them.
[Q] -> Does anyone know if non-golden Sathrovarr will be given to everybody?
[A] -> Non-golden Sathrovarr will be given to everyone free!
[Q] -> Any news about Tyrande?
[A] -> We are still planning on giving it away free this year.
[Q] -> Will Hearthstone Battlegrounds have a cost/prize structure similar to arena? I also saw "points" being awarded to the player, will it have it's own ladder format?
[A] -> There is no cost but It has It's own MMR and matchmaking.
Editor notes: If you want to check out the source yourself, feel free to click on the "Q or A" word for a specific part. Also, be aware that some of the questions and answers were smoothed out to improve the reading experience.
Will this expansion be last one ? They said on announcing article that "...Now, it’s time for this epic story to reach its conclusion."
When will we obtain the New Warrior hero? Isn't it like any other pre order, that you get it instantly?
Wait a second, everyone is talking about the tyrande thing, but no one is talking about the 3 class legendary thing?
I thought that i didn't understood smtg, they can complety screw them selfes, only 5 neutrasl and 3 leg per class ? this game can bury it self-
Really, no one asked about achievements? First thing, outside of tournaments mode, that should be added.
Battlegrounds free == no rewards == no incentive to play
By that logic, what's your incentive for playing Hearthstone at all then?
Some people like to grind for gold. Why? Because it gives some sort of addicting progression that goes on and on and ON. Basically in a nutshell, people like to work towards something whether it be rank or more packs to get more cards to get better ranks. I mean if there is ranked Battlegrounds that would be worth it on its own
Hmm side quests make questing explorer better.... And side quest better
I believe that they should do 2 year period exclusive for skins. If someone preorder he should have skin and feel special about that skin for 2 years, he should know when he preorder (if he preorder just for skin) that it won't be a waste like it would be if they decide to bring them back "tomorrow" for cheaper money , after 2 years skin should be in shop for price of 10$ (which is standard skin price) whenever skin was for free or not (similar how games are getting cheaper over time). If you want to have it, you can buy it. This way Blizzard will have profit and players that didn't want to spend 80$+ on stupid packs will feel happy. I have Tyrande and i don't have a single problem with other players getting one. We are as a community in not so great time when it comes to Blizzard and Hearthstone, instead of being miser we should embrace and if possible work to raise moral of our community and by doing this from both team 5 (as someone who would implement this) and us (as someone who will widely accept this) we could actually do that.
It probably wasn't cheating though, everyone who had Twitch Prime got her for free, and everyone who didn't could get a free 7 day trial. Only people in countries where Amazon Prime wasn't available couldn't get her. Everyone else got the skin for free...
For next Q&A ask about the gold rewards, in the past blizzard said that 100 gold/ 10 gold per 3 victories feels like a low reward, not enough, and after that sentence, they never pronnounced another word about the topic.
Edit: Btw
[Q] -> Can Sidequests be generated by other cards (Magic Trick for example)?
[A] -> Yes, since Sidequests are more broadly completeable by nearly any deck of their class, they can be generated/Discovered.
i think this is horrible, unless sidequest end being strong cards, but for what we saw recently, the first impression is that those doesn't look very good at all, so, could be a indirect nerf for some card generators. Like the mentioned magic trick or shimmerfly in hunter.
It cant be any worse than back when Glacial mysteries was in standard and every mage had to deal with it being one of their discover options.
yes, but, this time it would be that but for 4 classes, not only mage, as much cool as the toxic reinforcements art could be, the card by itself looks weak like the mage one.
We have a lot of useless cards in the spell pool anyway. But actually mostly you would generate sidequest of your class, which should be more or less doable, so it wouldn't be the most useless spell I think.
The Mage sidequest is pretty good value. Slow but value. The hunter one is crap (except if smorc hunter is a thing).
We havent seen the other quests as well so, hold on to that statement.
Value? Are you trying to sell your account or something?
I'm a little bit sad about this one, because I'm owning Tyrande for a long time, and with that time Tyrande skin got some value, but now It'll lose everything as everyone will have it.
I have Khadgar and Tyrande and if they will give them both away but dont give chance to get pre order heros that ll be unfair. They should make hero rotation in shop or something.
for people like you this world its a f*u*cking trash...
instead of beign happy for what you ve got, you feel sad for what others have... you are the worst kind of person
