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 is worth to open packs early? What if i open free legendary or tavern pass one?
Varian - the tavern pass one - is showing as recently modified and changed dust amount for DE in the collection, so he'll be fine. Prestor - who is free upon release - isn't showing as such for me, so presumably you can't get her from packs in non-golden.
I thoroughly enjoyed those 2 measily Legendaries (of shit tier to boot) in my 60 packs, thanks Blizzard! ❤️
Your pity timer should be in good shape. A few more packs will net your third.

From 145 packs, I opened 7 from regular packs (1 every 20) and 1 one from the golden packs. It's average. 8 legendaries not counting the 4 free ones I'll be getting. It's meh, but oh well. Chances of me getting any legendary I want from the 4 free is... unlikely, to say the least. But hey, all the golden epics, duplicates and golden legendaries will help me get what I want, so I'm not really complaining.
Average results indeed. I don't understand why others complain. Got both pre-orders and already received all none epic/legs from first 50 packs. Altogether 10 legendary cards (2 of which golden) and 117/135. Very good deal for me it was.
I only got 6 this time personally, probably the worst luck I've had with an expansion so far. I still have like 8k gold saved up though, and with the free legendaries (4 from the pre-orders and 4 from the rewards track) it should still be enough to get just about everything I need.
packs started off slow and unlucky , barely any epics , even lower then normal goldens, thru 60 packs then the last 25 picked it up and i got 2 golden legos ( Variann and Lost in the Park )
Golden Varian? That's absurdly good. Should be 3200 dust right there.
Golden varian
Human form of octasari
Both dh (cast all fel guy golden)
Boner
Both rogue
The handbuff paladin guy
85 packs. Has to be my best luck yet. Even more so since varian will probably be a redo. And thic Boi is great.
145 packs and he obtained 7 which is 1:20 packs for a legendary. He wasn’t lucky or unlucky he was average. I will screenshot my legendary openings out of 400 packs next Tuesday and you can see the actual numbers in terms of when a legendary appears and how many packs are between each one. When I open 400 packs I average a legendary every 13-14 packs. The best luck I ever had was witchwood when I had a legendary every 11.6 packs but I opened 425 that expansion. Needless to say I’ll have every card as usual with that many packs.
nine, not seven, count the legendaries I listed in my previous post
Sam for me dude, six legos one golden
I got both Varian and darkbishop in my packs, anyone know if I can get full dust for these as they both have diamond versions?
There have been refunds for mankrik and Samuro in the past, so I think yes
I think it only goes for Varian and Lady Prestor (the level one freebies) - Dark Bishop doesn't count, b/c you actually need him (before the mini set) to get the diamond version of him
Ah ok thanks, happy to get one lot of full dust back! I hope so at least....
Just varian
Varian is the only card showing in the collection as recently modified, so that's the only one you'll get full dust from.
