I just want to throw out there that Blizzard has explicitly said, many times, that Tyrande would be available again. That's why Tyrande returning was such a big announcement, because they were finally making good on their promise.
She has never been a Twitch exclusive; at best she was a timed exclusive for Twitch, and there was no reason to believe otherwise.
Oh my gosh everybody just chill it is only a cosmetic and it means absolutely nothing.
Write a post as a long as you want but you cannot ignore the simple fact that the skin means nothing, I really don't see any reason for you to be this angry as to quit Hearthstone entirely, simply because blizzard didn't give you something special for having started playing the game sooner.
Congrats to all the winners! I hope you get the cards you want!
BTW, this Giveaway was a great Idea!
I visit this Site almost daily, but I never had discussions or contributed anything. Just got the News and Netdecked a bit. But when I read about the Giveaway, I thought : Hey, maybe I should start to engage with the Community a bit more, could be fun (Also, FREE STUFF!!).
And it was really cool actually! Didn't win the big One, but guess what: Still worth it! To see everyone's Reaction, hear their Opinions/Ideas and talking about possible Decks was awesome!
So, yeah thx for the Opportunity Mods and everyone else! :D
Somehow I had managed to forget to do Chromatic Egg, probably had ended up skipping over that post on accident when I went through and voted on a bunch of them at once.
As a side note, has anyone else been having problems with the site leaving off periods from the end of a lot of their comments? Not sure if it’s because I’m on mobile or because there were so many more people posting, but through most of the reveal period my posts would often be missing the last key I typed on them for whatever reason. Only a few of them actually kept them on
it surely is a letdown when you pay for something and later on everyone gets it for free.
To be fair no one paid for Tyrande: it was a gift included in Amazon Prime, so if you happened to have it (and let's be honest: you don't have Amazon Prime for a HS skin) then you could have claimed it. Moreover, even if you suggest to make her available in the same conditions, now you can have a free month of Prime, so it's just easier to give her away for free.
But I really want to make this clear: Tyrande was a gift limited to some countries and no one directly paid for her.
On the other hand (just so you get the situation I'll use the example you wrote in your comment), Lazul was a skin tied with an 80 $ bundle which was limited in time, so giving her away for free would be unfair; but I wouldn't see anything wrong if they just put her in the new store for the usual price, maybe after a few expansions though
1) I really can't understand how you can't understand those are same.
2) You can't obtain if you don't have a credit card and free-trial membership.
3) Also, I know other guys in my friendlist who lives in those countries and normally don't use Twitch prime but got it just because of Tyrande skin.
4) I am just saying that the way how Blizzard did is wrong for people who obtained this skin before. Make it available to all but make its hero power non-golden for example, that's a way.
5) There are so much ways to make it available as making people who owns the skin happy but Blizzard did this in wrong way again.
1) I can't understand it because they're not the same. We can say that you even cheated ("I just used a VPN and fake address to be able to obtain Tyrande") and it costed you because you wanted that skin so much, but I'm not here to talk about people's behaviors, whether correct or not. Let's just talk about the facts. This event came in a certain time and (again, unless you want to do some shady shit) in certain places: in order to get Tyrande, you had to be an HS player (for example, Twitch Prime gives you so many gifts for games I couldn't care less), you had to live in a certain country and you had to have Amazon Prime (or being in a free trial). This is nothing but a discriminatory promotion (yeah, it's a word that doesn't fit this subject at all, but I hope you got the point), which penalized players, let's say, from Greece that were playing the game at the time and even had a Prime sub. It was clear that who thought this event didn't figure out Tyrande would have got so much success. That's why, when making a promotion, now Blizz tends to lock skins behind a paywall, so that no one will claim them afterwards (see the Thunder King).
On the other hand, Lazul (with Rastakhan, Neltharion, Elise and so on) are obtainable only if you pay loads of money: there's no other way around, since they're not part of a promotion with a partner. You want them? Take your wallet and give it to Blizz. In this case you spent your money for that sole purpose and so people shouldn't get those skins for free. Will they return in the future? Maybe, but only behind a paywall, which is how things should be.
Tyrande being a gift coming from a partnership means that, with her, you even got a month of Amazon Prime (which was the ultimate goal of the promotion after all). If you paid for something that even at that time could have been free just because you wanted it no matter what (shady shit) then it's normal that now you're butthurt. I'd be too. But that's not Blizzard's fault.
2) we are almost in 2020, c'mon man do you really want to hit me with that argument? You don't have access to a credit card (yours, your parents',...) but you can play HS? C'mon maaaan
3) People doing shady things doesn't make them less shady.
4) So you want like different skins for a single skin? Did I get it right? Cause if it's so it's fucking dumb.
5) Does that mean that Blizz should make people that will obtain the skin in one or two days less happy just to make those who got it before happier? It's a fucking GIF in a game bro, calm down. You want to be exclusive at other people's sake, which I have to say is pretty sad, if not pathetic.
Congrats to our winners! I tried to get one of those bundles, but alas I'll have to settle for two titles that cannot purchased. Who was the winner here? lol :D
1. Subjective. OP wants to show his veterancy, Blizzard provided it. OP is still complaining.
2. #1
3. And not everyone wants to abuse a flawed system or were even aware of that flaw. This time everyone can obtain it legitimately but of course there's a bunch of entitled people who need to feel superior to others with a bloody cosmetic.
Btw, Blizzard can do small change by switching (mirroring) Tyrande. Old account will have blue one and all accounts will have green one. Everyone is happy.
Fair enough, warning people against buying Blizzard’s content is a valid reason, especially if they did lie on the marketing. I still think there’s no positive side in changing the skin because of it; the way I see it, the argument you’re making is still valid if the HP wasn’t golden. You’re still getting tricked into spending money for practically the same product.
I agree that the “limited time” argument makes sense here, since the advertising of a limited time offer would possibly persuade you to buy something you maybe wouldn’t have bought immediately. But it still doesn’t make sense on the card back example you gave at the start of the thread.
Yeah, card back example isn't same but looking like, true that.

I figured you would get a kick from having an exclusive title that only 20 other people have.

Honestly, this title means more than packs.
I've checked twice all of the threads of cards. I am more addicted to this kind of achievements more than valuable ones. :)

you better use the packs to build face hunter or else I'm sueing.
