Forbidden Library - Limited Time Event!
Blizzard just made a surprise announcement for a HUGE new event, as well as some new permanent additions to the game. Read (or watch) everything they shared!
Quote from BlizzardDeep beneath the campus grounds lies the cobweb-ridden inner sanctum of Scholomance Academy, where Headmaster Kel’Thuzad has sealed away many a leather-bound chronicle and magical “experiment” gone awry. With powerful forces of dark magic in proximity, only brave (foolish?) souls dare meddle in the midst of this Forbidden Library!
The Forbidden Library is a limited-time event with new content unlocking weekly!
September 8 – Battlegrounds Parties, New Heroes, and More!
We’re excited to announce that starting September 8, you’ll be able to queue Battlegrounds with up to 7 friends! If you want to play a Private game, simply queue with 5 or more players—if you want to play Ranked, queue with 4 or fewer!
We’ll also be mixing things up with the introduction of Lord Barov, Jandice Barov, and Forest Warden Omu to the Hero Pool, and adding Micro Mummy as a Tier 1 minion! Read the patch notes for details.
September 15 – Hearthstone Book of Heroes, Jaina
After some light dusting, crack open the first installment of Hearthstone Book of Heroes to follow Jaina Proudmoore’s journey from scholar to mighty Mage! Hearthstone Book of Heroes will bring fresh and free single player content over the course of the next 12 months, until the stories for all 10 core Heroes have been told. Defeating all 8 bosses in this linear adventure will reward 1 Mage Pack, containing only Mage cards from Standard!
September 23 – Reap the Heroic Brawliseum Rewards!
You’ve done the homework, but are you ready to put your Scholomance lessons to the test? For 1000 Gold or $9.99, you can enter a competitive Tavern Brawl using cards from your own collection with big rewards! Based on how successful your run is, you could win Dust, Gold, Card Packs, and even Golden Legendary cards! Brawl until you’ve lost 3 or won 12!
Okay, hol' up. What do you mean "Limited Time Event"? Are you saying the solo adventure is gonna get removed eventually? Or maybe the battlegrounds heroes? If so, why?
Well, in Teamfight Tactics there has always been such an option and it has never been a problem. I mean, even if you play with a friend you won't be able to always draw against them. I think we will have to wait and see for ourselves, but I don't think it will be a big problem.
Young Jaina looks really nice. Too bad I got Khadgar and Kel’thuzad so I won’t use that portrait
People will exploit the bg invite system. 3 players will simply throw the game for the fourth to become rank 1.
tbh, I don't really care - the game is more fun at the lower MMR anyway
It clearly says PRIVATE GAME. It's exactly as a private 1v1. It doesn't affect your ratings.
So we are getting 1 Standard Mage Pack for free (if you count just card collection stuff).
I mean it's better than nothing, but still thougth it would be more from a 3 week event! :(
4 people can basically team up to play ranked BG ... the collusion will be real.
now players that que with 1-4 will get in same games so the 4 players can just fuck the rest of the bg up with talking how to chage minons so you lose 0 hp/ level up faster
1000 gold for a ticket, holy fk dude why am i still playing blizzard games they are legit the worst, slowly but surely scamming players or forcing them to pay for everything
It's a returning brawl and I remember from the last time, that really no matter what score you get, you will always at least get these coins back. Well, obviously unless they changed it.
Edit: Ok they actually changed.... well that sucks.
You know you don't have to do it right? It's entirely optional for those who want a high stakes competitive mode with big rewards. The entry could be a million gold and it wouldn't matter, if it's not your thing just don't do it.
Its higher risk this time. But defintely better rewards.
Yea, we dont have to do this. Yet we can complain how activision blizzard has become so greedy and lazy.
Will it replace standard battleground? Or there will be still option for solo battleground?
I would like to have that Jaina skin VERY MUCH
I'm guessing we're getting "younger" versions of the core heroes as skins over the next 12 months? As well as packs for that specific class in the bundle?
From what I understand, every month or so there will be the "adventure" of one hero from each class, - except DH, because they did it already - and completing it will give a pack for that hero's class. I guess the same goes for the skins being available.
I think you are right. You can get 5 additional class packs if you purchase the bundle. I think it's a good idea as some people only play a few classes. I mostly play mage so I'm glad it's first.
I have no idea how a younger Illidan is gonna work since younger Illidan wasn’t a demon hunter
