Comments
I"m really looking forward to this after reading through it!
I'm slightly disappointed in the Adventure. Last year there was talks of changing how Adventures were done and we got Galakrond's Awakening which was great. I don't mind spending gold/$ on specific cards. Reverting back to the free ones with a card back seems kinda dull to me. Maybe it's due to COVID-19, but I just wish there was a more robust Adventure here after all their talk of changing how they were being made.
No mention of any Arena rotation.. Does anybody know when that comes?
Probably in the patch notes when the patch arrives, we might see today.
Hi guys, I am really interested to catch today's discussion stream.
I figured out 8am - 10am PT would be 5pm-7pm in central Europe. Could anyone please confirm my math is correct here?
thanks in advance :)
I've watched the trailer a bunch of times and I can only say this:
Now this is how you make a SUPER VILLAIN PRESENTATION.
Free adventure? Thanks, Blizz.
Shout out to Educated_Collins. His laugh is infectious! One of the best BG streamers.
AND THEN, IN WEEK 3, ARANNA STARSEEKER THREW MECHA-JARAXXUS OFF THE CHAINSAW DOME AND PLUMMETED 16 FEET THROUGH AN ANNOUNCER'S TABLE! *airhorns*
This announcement video listens like the Powerthirst ad, and it is great. I feel a sudden craving for a World of Warcraft themed rehash of the John Cena prank call video. "Hello, ma'am, are you a supporter of the Rusted Legion?"
The trailer holycrap that's hilarious
Anyone know if we need to clear space for legendary quests or something like that?
I’d assume it’s gonna be the same as it’s always been, with the legendary quest replacing one of your normal ones if you don’t have space for it that day
Yes we will.
Goddamn, that Trailer was fucking awesome!
Oh, will not be able to get this hero. Such a shame... It looks so cool!
WOO finally a song! Also, Jaina had Rakinishu's hero power in the trailer for the burndown Rexxar had Barkeye's and Illidan had something. looks like we're getting adventure boss hero powers added into the mix for this burndown.
Burning Wit Pet Training Spreading the Curse all seem to be the hero powers they had
New hero bundle... I like :D
Yay for finally releasing new information!
Boo for having to wait another week longer! lol
I absolutely loved that trailer and the whole mad max/heavy metal rock band vibes of the rusted legion. Super excited for the next phases of HS!
No PvP content outside autobattler...
