At first, I totally disagreed with you and thought you were being pissy for no reason, but when you frame it that way it makes a lot of sense. I still l don't think it is that big of a deal though.
Though I am curious, when do you believe the responsibility of knowing what is factual and what is not fall onto the consumer/individual?
I found their tweet rather innocent and benevolent.
Wouldn't go so far to call it misinformation. I mean if we can't have jokes about "non important" stuff such as video games - what are we even doing?
Blizzard have fucked up so much that it become characteristic by this point.. But I wouldn't scold them for a seemingly bad joke.
You sound pretty upset and I don't blame ya. Feels like society is getting more and more broken due to social media. The dangerous precedent that just happened with Twitter is a huge reminder of that. We can already see it fall apart in a matter of days, and it's only going to get worse.
I am sure money has a big part to do with it, but I really don't think there is any malicious intent when making a new class OP. It would be so lame if the new class was actually unplayable and everyone stuck with what was good in the last expansion.
Deficiency? No, everything here is working as intended. We don't have a collectible version of Frostmourne in the database yet so it isn't going to show up via BBCode. BBCode prefers the collectible version and then it'll default to whatever is highest cost, followed by the oldest id in the database.
I can't believe they actually turned a token into a card lol, TBF it is a good token to be given the privilege. Kind of weak in faster meta, but insane value in slow games. I am still jumping into standard mode so I am not sure what big value minions are there, but imagine stealing your opponents Lich King??? This is like three mindcontrols in one card.
You have to understand that there are very different audiences in games.
First, you have your ultra hardcore players that are dialed in to the point where they don't miss a thing, they know everything there is to know about the game, and they are ultimately super passionate even when they stop playing.
Then you have your casual player who goes "oh I love game" and they login to play for a few days when new content comes out and then maybe randomly a few more times before another set, and that's that.
Misinformation like this doesn't harm the first kind of player, but it harms the second.
Imagine a scenario where a second player sees that tweet, thinks Death Knight is super overpowered. There is a chance they buy products based on what they see. A product that Blizzard ultimately will refuse to refund because card packs aren't eligible for refunds (though they have done this in rare circumstances for unopened packs). I'd also be willing to bet some people might not even bother with coming back to the game if they see another hero class getting OP stuff, but this probably wouldn't be that many people.
So you're 100% right, this is a non-issue for 10%, maybe 15% of the playerbase. The overwhelming majority of players in any game though aren't hardcore about it and misinformation is bad.
Underwhelming but then not all DK cards can be bonkers.
Question: Is Frost Mourne sentient? Does the weapon know itself? Meaning, if I equip it, kill three minions, then reequip it with Hoard Pillager and kill another three, will the second one summon six?
This might be the same underlying issue but there's a /marvel-snap.rss linked from it too which doesn't appear to have a corresponding route (it renders the normal index page).
Blizzard taints their card reveal seasons with asinine bullshit and it makes no sense. We're already getting cards with the wrong stats, old cards mixed in with new (they addressed this saying well some people might not have seen the other cards), and the countdowns all being wrong because Blizzard doesn't understand how timezones work.
There are so many other ways they can hype stuff up. Putting out old cards masquerading as new ones isn't it.
Twitter was great when there were people talking about random topics and chronological news. You'd go and see what going on in #Warcraft or such and maybe have a conversation with randos. Now? Political cesspool, regurgitated spam, and with Twitter not even showing you everything you follow, what's the point?
I totally understand why the landscape changed, people learned to more effectively monetize the platform, but damn I miss the old days.
Man, I'd be annoyed if I cracked Frostmourne in a card pack. Super late game (unless DK has some strong weapons cheating that we haven't seen) - you're likely to only get the full value (3 cards with middling attack and health) on around turn 9. Doesn't seem worth it to me unless somehow the game slows wayyyyy down.
No need to point out deficiency of your website =P
I was hoping it would find the correct one by name but had to pick up the id... Though I suppose the collectible one would get preferred anyway so it would break later so if is better anyway
Gotta love cheap & effective legendaries; this one has great combo potential and flexibility, allowing you to hand buff the heck out of her before the payout! 10/10

Maybe Blizzard wants to break away from Twitter before shit really hits the fan.
I honestely hate Twitter, it is even worse than meta.
Twitter is being used as a 140-token of truth, science is being reduced to 140 tokens.
Just use it for fun and not to discuss politics or announce news.

Just let them have some fun. If you think they are actually going to have a card that gives 100 armor, that's almost fully on you.
