I have absolutely no problem with that. Selling cosmetics which have no impact on the game for money is good way to keep the game F2P.
it doesn't reduce the f2p problem, they sell skins (they don't even bother to make money off new ones, they make money off previous work lol) yes but they also sell cards
what f2p problem?
I collect everything Hearthstone related and I´ve been waiting a long time for Blizz to make some of the old cardbacks available again <3<3<3
why didn't you get them back in the days if you're a collector?
Why should anyone know? Its like physical cardgame. People use sleeves but noone cares really what sleeves others use.
The cardbacks are all made as rewards participating a certain season, buying bundle, completing an adventure etc. Comparing that to sleeves makes no sense imo, as they are just protecting your cards imo. If a special collector's edition sleeve was rewarded for taking part in an event or buying bundles at the ALPHA start of the game, I am pretty sure bringing that would rise some eybrows.
Cupcake was my first cardback. Seeing it in the shop is oddly nostalgic.
I seriously hope nobody falls for this cheap cashgrab.
They have dilluted the value of card backs too much already. Nobody knows what even half of them mean.
you would make a horrible father......do yourself a favor and don't be one. $2.99 is worth more to you than making your kid happy and to hear them say thanks dad is just...puke.
He merely stated his opinion, don't be toxic mate. We need criticism for the game as well as give credit where it's due.
"He merely stated his opinion"
He said he would beat his kid if it asked for $3 to buy something he/she likes...
I have it, is it so old ? oh well yes, since beta many years came and go, I think I am old. How old is the card again ?
Thank you Blizzard. Glad they are trying to reward players that still currently play (new and old).
What’s the oldest card back you have? Mines December 2014.
The monthly seasonal card backs, I have a complete collection. Given our usual audience on the site I doubt I'm alone in that either.
It's not that hard to log in at least once a month and get 5 wins or there about, even if the meta is stale and you are not that interested in ranked play.
If I'm honest, the older card backs are not graphically as complex and nice as the newer ones. I often rock the Pandaria one from the first ever ranked season, but it's kinda low res compared to like the card back you get this month (Faerie Tail) for instance.
Still, gotta represent the old school. :D
This has been my favorite cardback since I got it. Glad newer players can get it but still sad it's not as unique anymore! I love being able to tell how long a player has been playing based on their cardback.
Imagine if they put all card backs in the shop for purchase and bound these to card mechanics:
5 mana 3/3: If you are using the cupcake card back release 3 cakes at random enemies.
Not that I am giving them ideas...
When was this released ??
Ranked Season 13 (April 2015)... First one I ever obtained :C
