*The Felfire Festival of Music and VENGEANCE does not promise anything. The Felfire Festival of Music and VENGEANCE will not be held responsible in the event of untimely hearing loss.
so just to split hairs, the solo adventure countdown was the countdown to the countdown. at least no announcement of the announcement?
Now these are some serious rewards lol... :)
When is the next expansion coming? Late July? Is it August?
Second expansion of the year is usually early to mid August
it always the first week of august
After that announcement video, am I the only one who thinks they should make a Ragnaros the Felfirelord?
Thank goodness I quit hearthstone
Then please do us all a favour and stop whining about the game too.
Ontopic; Looking forward to the event! It looks pretty awesome and looks like there's a lot of content I'll be enjoying. I love Battlegrounds, Singeplayer Adventures and Tavern Brawls so this looks perfect for me!
"The Felfire Festival of Music and VENGEANCE promises* to be the greatest show on . . . what’s left of this planet!"
Pretty darn accurate statement by Blizzard. I couldn't agree more.
"*The Felfire Festival of Music and VENGEANCE does not promise anything."
This literally couldn't be more accurate
well, at least the adventure is free. a couple 1000 gold saved, good
the rest i don't care about. pirates can f themselves
Okay, that was pretty cool.
Well, at least it's free. I think it's kinda sorry to give a golden version of a legendary they already gave us though. It's not like I can use two of them. I'd rather just have a classic pack. Lol. (I'm not stoked by golden cards, can you tell?)
dafuk, you do realize that they are literally just giving us ANY legendary that we want?
They gave us Kael'thas first, and then give us golden Kael'thas now.
You can literally disenchant the golden one without feeling guilty and craft any legendary card that you want.
Unless they make it not possible to disenchant (I don't think so, because it is the prize of an adventure like the league of explorer), this is better than a random legendary
hmmm Just checked the collection, I was thinking that Sathrovarr (the 9 mana legendary from AoD that they gave us) could be disenchanted. But it is not.
Now I'm not that sure, but one can hope.
The regular Kael can’t be disenchanted. The other adventure cards had to be paid for, but this adventure is free. It still could be disenchantable, but I wouldn’t bet.
it can be disentchanted once it rotates.
Oh Solem got his first apperence. Maybe first time for a Wild player?
The lack of new cards is kind of disappointing, it ensures the meta will remain the same despite the event. Also not much in the way of free rewards.
We expect that the next adventures there will be no new cards. Blizzard must put the batteries.
