Fireside Gatherings Live - Enjoy Your Early Pack Openings!
Even though this reveal season has been difficult and there has been little fanfare about events we have come to expect, like Theorycrafting Streams and such, one of the other usual events is now live: The Fireside Gathering Early Pack Opening!
A way for you to already open your packs you have pre-ordered and get a look at your new collection. You are limited to packs you got from the pre-order bundles, and you cannot get extra packs with gold. That will have to wait until the actual launch.
So how does this work?
- Go to: https://firesidegatherings.com/en-us/create
- This is the official Blizzard site for creating Fireside Gatherings.
- On this page create a Fireside Gathering at your location and at a time at least 1 hour into the future.
- You can only create a Fireside Gathering for yourself, and only you can attend yours. NO public Fireside Gatherings yet due to Covid 19.
- Once the time for your personal Fireside Gathering arrives, just log in to your Region with the packs, and you will automatically be taken to the Fireside Gathering section that is now active.
- You can stay in the section and use the Fireside Gathering specific Brawls and games, OR if you want to open your packs, just return to your main screen and go to the Pack Opening section of the game.
- Open Packs! As many or as few as you want. Be aware though, Class specific Packs (from Book of Heroes for instance) will NOT have cards from the new expansion yet. You will need to open those on Launch Day to get the United in Stormwind Cards from them.
- If you are looking for specific cards or want to know what you might be getting, use our United in Stormwind Card List to see the details!
- When you are done you can just leave or play the game as normal.
- We do not know until what time and date the Fireside Gathering will run, but usually it runs until Monday Morning. There's no guarantees though in these crazy times!
It would be nice if you could purchase packs with gold and open them early, but I don't mind Blizzard making a business decision here. Is there any point to having a fireside gathering as a f2p player?
Free ones are not available yet.
The cards have been in duels for a few days now.
My legendaries were:
Final Showdown
Defend the Dwarven District
Rise to the Occasion
Highlord Fordragon
Seek Guidance
Find the Imposter
Golden Maestra of the Masquerade
Golden Auctioneer Jaxon
Varian, King of Stormwind
9 legendaries from both bundles
Including the « free » ones? That’s not much, sorry man.
What are you talking about? Those are 9 legendaries in total from both bundle packs opened, without counting free ones
If you cont properly, from 140 packs, 9 legendaries came, so I got a legendary every 15,5 pack, which is nice I think
Damn I opened 60 packs and got only 3 legendaries :( . Tho the Warlock and Hunter quest are quite nice, also got that DH Jace guy so i'll probs be dusting that later on
I got 10 legies no golden and 30 epics with 2 goldens. Not good but also not bad. :)
You didn’t mention if it included the free ones or not.
And if you want to count « properly », it’s closer to 16,25 since you get one from the first 10 packs.
Average in 2 bundle is 7 if lucky more
I noticed a mage player using UID card (ignite) in the first round of a Duels run. I thought the cards would only be available in buckets, and not to create decks?
It can be discovery too.
So they say no public gatherings, can my roommates join in on mine? Or are the gatherings completely closed off to anyone else playing?
I believe that anyone on the same WI-FI connection can play with you. IDK my way around VPNS and such but I'm sure that if you're next to each other it should be easy.
Can i buy packs and open them during a fireside gathering?
nope only preorder
I didn't get anything good off my 1 Twitch drop pack but I got the Persistant Peddler so I'm ok with it!
After I open the pack, I cannot start any rank game. Anyone same?
Maybe re-start the game?
I only opened 1 pack (for the screenshot in the article) but I could play a Ranked Game no problem, no delays or anything. Fireside Gathering is still active too.
