Heyyyyyy new KT hero very nice. Just waiting for the day we get a real alternate rogue hero with so many good lore characters out there because Maiev was pretty lackluster.
Golden packs are so rare, with no expectation to get enough of them to hit any pity timers, that we made them completely independent rolls, every time.
Doesn't that mean that we have a 50/50 chance to pull a golden legendary if we open the 5 golden packs before any other pack from this expansion? You could even gamble a bit and open 2 or 3 regular packs first to further increase your chances.
So far the difference what you get between the premium and normal pack (80+ Hero VS 50) was not big enough. It would make sense if they spice it up a bit.
Really happy to see the addition of gold packs; I'm a collector and would love this option. Crafting a golden legendary just isn't as satisfying as seeing it burst free from its leathery casing.
I really hope this is just another free addition to make Hearthstone's pre-orders that much more appealing.
My big question though is will we get to purchase golden packs now? It would be really cool if they let us buy a bundle of them or just leaving them open to buy completely. They would have to be more expensive, but having premium options would be amazing for those that love building decks with them.
My collection got messed up again. It looks like whenever I do a JSON import, it's highly likely to add the cards in my collection, instead of replacing my current collection with the results of the import. The result is, if I had a single copy of an epic card in my collection, then when I do the JSON import, it inaccurately shows me as having two copies of that card.
Is this a known issue? Should I make a separate report?
Yes, that is how it works, it ADDS all the cards from JSON import, you need to import only once and then manually change your collection on the site with any future changes. We know, its pretty bad, but thats how it works for now. We are working on a better implementation.
I just want to clear things up. This was never the intention of the feature. Bulk importing is supposed to calculate card differences but there's some funky logic that isn't up to par. Better implementation of it all is the end goal.
I used to love the vanilla version, I love the atmosphere of all the early wow dungeons. They've toned them down and made them shorter nowadays but the longer versions were just epic to me back in the day.
If the leaks are true then I'll be excited for this expansion.
yep, 2 for each would be cool. And like in MSoG we could choose quest line at the start of the expansion. Or maybe even choose course leg who will randomly drop (i m pretty sure, not, but would be cool).
Also food for thought - your comment got downvoted almost as much as mine. I guess raising awareness to issues that are controversial (for some reason?) aren't well accepted here either.
I'm sorry, I might have missed the part when I forced you to read my comment. I apologize for that. You are quite welcome to report my comment if it upsets you so much.
I assure you those suffering from racism and discrimination can't separate it as it's part of their everyday lives, but by all means, feel free to ignore them, me, or anything you feel is not worthy of your attention.
I always like to see new custom expansions, especialy those that fit with Warcraft lore.
Firstly, good job so far the theme fits HS quite well.
As for the minor issues, apart from those already mentioned (Except the Legendary names - I have to mention this as I play HS because of iconic legendaries that fill up the lore of my decks and I am always sad to see something like [Hearthstone Card (Boogeymonster) Not Found] or Blackhowl Gunspire to waste a precious legendary slot) my only other small problem is in the Keyword's name. Stamina, in my opinion is not intuitive enough, there should be other words that capture it better (something like outlast/survive or whatever).
As for the cards I, too am against using another Alex, but the Jade Serpent Yu'lon might fit your effect quite well.
Also Aggresive Meditation is quite weak, in my opinion, if you compare it to Blessing of Might.
As you are in Pandaria you should mention its other iconic races - Mogu, Jinyu, Hozen, Grummle and so on. I do know that finding art for them is rather a challenge. Maybe this site has something you can use: http://www.blizz-art.com/tag/300/serpent-nuage/
That said, well done and keep the cards coming.
I was also thinking about posting my custom set, but with the expansion reveal today I think I'll wait a little.
Thanks again for writing this piece of lore. Maybe we will see a new tribe around Undead/Scourge, if that is indeed the next exp.
WoW has so many lore chapters - the HS team has material for so many years ahead. They just need to be creative transforming them into cards. The foundation is there.
I'm back, what did I miss?
Welcome back, we missed you dearly
Enjoy the story, it's quite fun, not dreary

No pity timer on golden packs, and golden packs don't change the main pack's pity timer, so no.
I've corrected the article about the pity timer stuff.

You are correct, Celestalon had confirmed this a couple of months ago on Twitter.

Golden classic packs do not have a pity timer. Fix this.

Not only that, depending on the pricing, it could be a superior way to buy dust.

Looks cool to me. The big question is if they'll adjust the price with the addition of the 5 golden packs to the usual bundle.
REQUEST: Please reset my Hearthstone card collection?
