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!
does that mean we can unlock those heroes as portraits, or they just for a new game mode, please?
I have not seen these new games before, so not sure TBH. ha ha.
For those, and only those, who are interested to discover some heroes/minions/spells from the future game the "Book of Heroes" chapter 1 Jaina Proudmoore, feel free to check it on the forum.
Heroic brawl is wild or standard?
Oh no, how will you survive without those 5 free classic cards....? You lot are hilarious, you're like Scrooge Mcduck.
Get a job then and get off the bread line.
Any speculation on pricing for the Jaina hero? Currently being a completionist with every alternate hero released, but the prospect of 10 of them over the next 10 months could well be what makes me kick this particular habit.
Thats why they release them one at a time.
You... cant.... resist ;)
Three weeks event (!) and you can only get one pack for free.
I have concerns about the game mode they will plan in Phase 2.I hope they will not call this Battlegrounds option as a new game mode.
What a bad time to be a f2p player
Is there any chance that this card will become available at some point during this event? I've been trying to elicit some information from Blizz on Golden Transfer Student since the release of Scholomance, but to no avail.
Can't you just craft it?
I'd love to but no, it's uncraftable. I'm imagining it's probably going to be tied to some later event/promotion, but I haven't heard anything about it from Blizz. They did that with Kael'thas Sunstrider, but on his crafting screen it explained that it would be tied to a later promotion. Transfer Student's crafting screen says nothing.
We also will NOT get 1 classic Pack from Brawl, the one week when it'll be replaced by a Heroic Brawl.
So it's even worse than "one free pack" just 5 mage standard cards instead of 5 classic cards ))
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the first heroic brawl free? Concede 3 times if so and you got your pack.
You are wrong.
i seen kripp do it where there dont play minons and get free level up or keeping at a low life lost its fucking retarded that there let players cheat that way
they are having an #EVENT that is 99% paid
Exactly what I thought. And the price for the brawliseum is especially absurd!
Heroic Brawliseum is expensive because its a high risk high reward type mode. You have the potential to make an absurd level of money if you abuse it right.
All I see is "one free pack"
