This is a great idea! It lets people play BG without having to play standard, and it provides perks that are fun and interesting. 

That said, $20 per expansion is just ridiculous. That's the most pathetic cash grab I've ever seen from Blizx, and that's saying a lot. If you don't have the pass, you'll find it impossible to ladder since you have lower quitu heroes on average.

That's probably why Leeroy got HoF. But it still works well with charge and rush minions. Yeah, that's a real flexible legendary. Gonna see how many decks will try to get this in.

Nice to see that's its free. That's literally the first thing I saw and the best thing about the whole announcement.

At least we dont have to get the cards from classic packs. And with the new changes to how packs work we dont get duplicates neither. Good.

The announcement says that for the DoD season, if you have the pack perks, you'll get the new perks as well. But for the Outland season I can only interpret "players will no longer have to purchase card packs in order to unlock Battlegrounds Perks" as "players can no longer unlock Battlegrounds Perks by purchasing card packs." The inclusion of the Tavern Pass in the Mega Bundle seems to support this, as that would be redundant if packs unlocked perks.

I understand that they don't want to lose money on people playing nothing but Battlegrounds, but $20 every four months seems a bit much unless you're a huge Battlegrounds fan.

I'm not sure if this would slow you down a little bit at first for getting epics and legendaries. If you get any duplicate commons or rares, you can save the dust you get towards crafting an epic or legendary you want, but after this goes live you can only do that with a common or rare you don't want, until you have them all.

Or perhaps duplicate protection on epics makes up for it.

I was expecting a 5 minute song of vengeance and lost love. Oh well.

He asked about what we find exciting and I answered with my point of view.

I am not supposed to just agree with the excitement or shut up. It's a forum, you know...

Fair enough.

You and me both. One day, one day...

That's how it always worked

The anger is stemming from the lack of clarity about what perks - if any - will be available purely from purchasing packs.

If you can no longer get any perks from purchasing packs, this is a strict downgrade for anyone who doesn't only play Battlegrounds.

I just commented on one Article, and just a few Seconds later there's already Another! 

There ain't no Rest for the Wicked, huh?  ;)

I wonder how this will work FIRST reset.  We still get star multiplier from old system rank placement?

You don't get the perks with packs anymore if I understood correctly.

Quote From Anathemos

I assume the rewards are cumulative? That is, if I go from Bronze 10 to Silver 3, I get the rewards for Bronze 5, Silver 10, and Silver 5 (totalling 3 standard Rare cards and one card pack)? That's what I'd assume but it isn't clear to me.

Are the cards golden? Pity if they aren't, I like the golden cards and looked forward to getting a few every month...

Has to be - otherwise the rewards wouldn't make sense.  i.e. Silver 10 = Legend

Yogg is back!

I'm still in shock!! Although I never believed they would do that, I still kept my golden copy, just holding that tiny bit of hope they would eventually do it! AND THEY DID!!!

I'm so glad!!!

But, being pragmatic, all these changes won't make a difference in Wild... they are just too slow. I think maybe only Raiding Party may see some serious play.

Wrong. I play in low ranks (18-13) and play and see EVERY type of deck you can imagine. Do you actually play Wild? There are those Quest and Secret Mages etc but people try everything for fun. I can actually rank with Exodia Paladin...

People will absolutely try all those new oldies and have a lotta fun with them, you'll see. Call of the Wild in Reno or spell hunter, Emerald Stone in secret hunter, a renewed Razakus, Yogg druid, Odd warrior with Boom, tempo rogue with Raiding party etc etc. It's gonna be a blast!

That's what I hope. But again, being pragmatic, they won't make a difference in higher ranks.

Hot damn, time to slay me some demons then.

I'm interested to see where they'll be going with this Class. Like, most of the Cards and the HP seem very focused on Aggro/Tempo, but then you also have Things like their Huge Demons and that 5 Mana AoE that are made for the Late Game.

I personally would like DH to be a Midrange Class with Potential to go Control. 

Completely missed the chance of making him a prime card, with the canon lore and all.

First card would have been just a setback...

Finally, a new card for my deathrattle hunter deck. This card is insane with Necromechanic, Play Dead, and Terrorscale Stalker.

If I'm remembering correctly, people would advise that you don't disenchant a bad legendary to ensure you don't get it again. I guess it would be nearly impossible to take advantage of such a loophole with legendary cards.

Yes, it sounds like from that quote, that if you have all rares for example and you dust both copies of one that gets nerfed, you still have all the rares for the purposes of duplicate protection, and you won't have any better chance of getting that card than any other rare you have.

I don't even play Wild but the Raza unnerf has me concerned. I HATED playing against that. Maybe it will be fine with the global nerf to Holy Smite and other Priest changes.

Yes, the Initiate set will be given for free when you complete the story missions, alongside the Basic cards and the Hero itself.

Carnivorous Cube on steroids.

This is nuts for any DR class, chiefly Priest, Warlock, Hunter (mostly Wild), Rogue.

Actually, this is nuts period.

Wait, so all the demon hunter initiate cards are free?

why would they reset?
