*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.
Must... Resist... The impulse to buy the bundle just for the skin even if I absolutely dislike DH and I miss just a few bad legendaries from AoO.
For one time I actually liked the promo video. Cant wait to farm some packs in brawl!
this is the effect of the (feared) competition from Riot's Runeterra. Glad to see it
You see it. We need new cards to refresh the meta.
I don't understand why streamers get early access to the content, and it's supposed to be fun for us to see the entire adventure spoiled early?
This doesn't make any sense to me. No idea why anyone would want to tune in.
Looks like a fun event! Blizz is really doing some work
I think there is an adventure first released with story and then there is a deckbuilding challenge thing after that?
I like it, but there is people that doenst care at all if it isnt standar/wild constructed
I mean new content in standard mode. New cards to refresh the meta.
I really like adventures but after completing it you go back to normal mode. It feels boring to play the same meta every 4 months.
You get new cards at least three times a year, go work for Blizzard and complain about the amount of work you'd be doing to get more cards out.
People who settle for anything. That is why we must demand more, this type of conformist people does not help anything. If they want to continue cheating you, it's your problem.
I am disappointed because there is no deckbuilding content.
I mean new content in standard mode. There are no new cards.
No new cards = boring game. at least we have wild to enjoy some cool things going
I don't want to wait two months to play a new meta
It was not what I expected but I'm satisfied. it's something.
That Southsea Strongarm is THICC
So no new cards, only pirates in battlegrounds, arrrrrgggg.
So not the story of Illidan from his perspective? A joke story around Aranna Starseeker and Mecha Jaraxxus instead?
