Fireside Gatherings Today - Enjoy Your Early Pack Openings!
As is custom there is the chance for everyone to open their Murder at Castle Nathria packs on starting Friday the 29th of July in The Fireside Gathering Early Pack Opening from 10am PT/ 1pm ET/ 19:00 CET/ 18:00 GMT. The Fireside Gathering for Murder at Castle Nathria will run until 10am PT/ 1pm ET/ 19:00 CET/ 18:00 GMT on Monday, August 1st!
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 or Game mode specific Packs (from Book of Mercenaries for instance or the Standard packs from Tavern Brawl) will NOT have cards from the new expansion yet. You will need to open those on Launch Day to get the Murder at Castle Nathria Cards from them.
- If you are looking for specific cards or want to know what you might be getting, use our Murder at Castle Nathria Card List to see the details!
- When you are done you can just leave or play the game as normal.
Quote from BlizzardPre-Release Weekend
You can open your Pre-Purchase packs early at a private pre-release Fireside Gathering the weekend before Murder at Castle Nathria goes live on August 2. Private pre-release Fireside Gatherings can take place between July 29 at 10 am (PT) and August 1 at 10 am (PT). In the event that you should open them in your pre-release packs, Murloc Holmes and Golden copies of Sire Denathrius will be eligible for full dust refunds until August 5, at 10am (PT).

haven't pre-ordered in a while and haven't this time as well, since I'm always disappointed in my money invested vs rewards. i still can't believe they're not more generous with the pity timer for legendaries as it definitely destroys the happiness people could feel with just a few more legendaries opened.
I'm not under the weather type of person but definitely remember feeling like shite on every expansion release when i open 100ish packs and get 2-3 legendary cards :(
There are people defending the new reward track. Saying the game is more generous than ever. But they forget that we now have 10 classes instead of 9. More cards to collect per expansion. We have 3 expansions instead of 2 per year, that's at least a 50% increase in spending. We also have 3 mini sets instead of 1, that's 6000 gold you don't save for packs. There is also the tavern pass. You don't need it in theory, but the difference in EXP is really significant. So no, I don't think this game is cheaper at all, it's probably at an all time high.
Out of 150 pack, 5 legendaries, none golden and only 12 epics, one golden. 5 golden packs had 4 commons and a rare each. The last 50 packs had one legendary and two epics, it felt like I was opening the same pack over and over and over… this was by far my worst opening, beating witchwood by two legendaries.
Lol, keep buying.
Happened to me once, learned my lesson. When you stop pre-ordering, you enjoy the game much more. You can still open 50+ packs per expansion, using gold from the pass, and you don't miss the pain of wasting $100.
Is the pity timer of 1 leg in first 10 pack not working...Cause i got 4 epics but no leg...rly wierd ?? anybody else has this
i opened 5 of my free packs and got a legendary. The lady legendary from paladin
Thats a good one
Same here , both bundels 4 legendarys ,….
Hah. Kicked you ass in suckiness. 72 packs, 2 normal legendaries. I defy anyone to outsuck me!
Edit: At 2/ 82 packs.
Wow that sucks. Sorry for ya mate
I highly recommend that people don't open their packs until they're level 43 on the rewards track since that will trim out some of the cards you can get duplicates of.
Also there's legendaries like Denathrius and Murlocholmes that you get for free.
Or if you're more daring I prefer to open them beforehand for a chance to get one of the reward track legendaries. Got Murloc Holmes this time, that's a legendary of my choice.
Yeah, if you happen to open the reward track legendaries you get to dust them for the full amount and the reward track cards are usually quickly duplicate capped anyway.
Might be good for f2p players though.
If you open more than ~60 packs, it really doesn't matter because at that amount, you'll get a full set of Rares naturally.
Getting Murloc Holmes or Golden Denathrius is good, because day 1, you get to dust them for a full refund. As a result, hitting these "bad" rolls is actually good - that's a Legendary of your choice!
71 Packs with 2 normal Legendaries and golden Kaeltas. My worst opening in years. :/
Btw I didnt have a Legi in my first 10 packs.
I had exactly the same result it was terrible
I’m going to try to out suck you. I’m at 1 legendary in 51 packs.
i cant open tell release day due to how standard packs work
Happy with my results.
From 5 golden packs and 85 normal packs I opened 1 golden legendary and 7 normal legendary cards.
