Hearthstone Patch 8834: Heroes of the Storm Rewards
A new Hearthstone build has made its way to Blizzard's servers and includes the card back that we previously found in the Heroes client.
Heroes of the Storm Card Back
A new card back has been added which is rewarded from the quest "Hero of the Storm". It is obtained by hitting level 12 in Heroes of the Storm. Check out our animated preview of this card below (requires an updated browser)
Heroes Mount Quest
The quest "Easy Rider" has been added to the game which rewards you with an in-game mount in Heroes of the Storm for winning 100 games in Hearthstone's play mode. Checkout a video of the mount in action below.

BUG FIXES

- [Tablet] Tablet versions of the game should now be able to purchase multiple packs at a time with gold.
- Fixed various graphical, sound, and UI issues.
100 games in hearthstone to unlock the card mount means itws most likely overall level
Player level.
so can we start grinding hero level 12 or its too early ?
Will the lvl grind transfer to live or it will reset after beta ends?
nope no RESET will occur in HoTS.unlike Hearthstone.
Actually HotS already had resets. it just wont reset again.
Can't wait to get the card back :(
since i downloaded the new patch today on my ipad, the game doesnt work. it goes to the startup screen then half a second later exits out of hearthstone. Anyone else having this problem?
Damn, I was level 11 when I stopped playing HOTS for a while.
Time to grind but that card back makes it so worth it.
EDIT: Level 12, we made it
Does this mean the card is limited time only?
Calling it an "event" could also refer to HotS being just over 2 weeks from general release.
Personally, I love it, even more than the Ninja cardback. I'm also at level 10 in HotS, so it shouldn't take long to get it.
ok, I'll have a Diablo III card back now, please.
*installs heros of the storm for the first time*
*Prepares to play new genre of game fro first time*
be sure to buy the stim packs for bonus xp it takes awhile to lvl
Not for Level 12. This should go in a few days. Buying a stimpak because of it is it not worth.
Also: at the release there will be a +100% or +200% exp buff for the start, so buying a stimpak does not really matter.
it took me awhile cause im a casual and dont play all day / everyday... also he's gonna start playing now so alot of good that Release - bonus XP will do him now EleGiggle
what does ez life have to do with it?
play more games. we all at around 4k on HS baby. kisses and hugs. mo thugs.
He means to say that he will acquire both the card back and mount ez-ly because he has already met the requirements.
HoTS CARD BACK??
Signed up for beta just for this card back. how often do they accept beta applications? Will I have enough time to get to rank 12?
Open Beta will be starting soon so don't worry too much. I believe the card back is suppose to be out June 2nd Blizzard Time.
