Is there any information about the usual firesite gathering this weekend? Usually you can set up an event Friday-Sunday before the expansion comes out, will it with this time?

Can someone confirm if this is happening to them too? Whenever I try to play it pops up the prompt to pay money or gold or exit except it doesn't make it fully to the screen. It stays blurred in the background. All I can do is exit. 

I've noticed that some non-article things are shown on the main page, but not on the game specific sub-page. The Stormwind Launch Countdown aswell as the "81 Card revealed" and "Dreamhack Beyond" Banners are some current examples of this.

I would appreciate it if you could also add these und future things to the /hearthstone page since that's the page I actually bookmarked.

Hello there

Does anyone know how those two will Interact?

Could i put C'thun in my deck and still enter Shadowform with Benedictus at the start of the game? Because if C'thun happens before him not all my spells are Shadow Anymore and therefor he will not grant me Shadowform right?

Which one proccs first?

I could not find It Reported anywhere else so I thought about making a post about It.

So I was checking my Barranca achivements (as I just finished one) and noticed some of them still had Chest around them. It seems like all Golden Cards given through the battlepass can be obtained vía achivements since last patch.

Even Golden Shadowhunter Voljin is invluded

These requieres owning the original Card, But I feel this is great for the long term! 

This rewards are still undustable. Will try to finish one of them to get a duplicate and see what happens.

It seems that Diamond Samuro Will still be a tavern pass exclusive though.

Hi guys, I saw a notification that in 5 days Duels would be rotating cards, should I leave a Heroic Duels run with 2 loses so I get a free ticket like in arena?

After the latest patch I'm unable to play on my Amazon Fire tablet.  I uninstalled/reinstalled and I can play when selecting the "I'm new" button but when I select "Log in" it goes back the opening hearthstone screen and freezes.  I saw a thread on the tech support forums of people saying they had the same issues and also made a post there.  Has anyone else experienced this or somehow found a work around?  Thanks for any help.

Thoughts?

We're in the middle of the last Weekly Card Design Competition of Season 3 and I'd like to discuss how all you awesome people feel about these competitions in general as well as your suggestions for changes. Since everybody and their mother will try out the shiny new Stormwind cards next week, I think waiting for Season 3 to end before giving Shadows & friends something to ponder wouldn't work very well.

So here are my two cents:

The WCDC has become a constant part of my weekly schedule, I think I haven't missed one of them since we got started on OOC. I'm super grateful for Shadows and all other members of the staff for creating this space on the site that encourages creativity, engagement with likeminded people and an opportunity to earn internet fame points. You are awesome!

The little grain of salt I've tasted this season came with the finalists votings. Participation goes down in that second voting phase and I really don't agree with people dishing out 1 star votes for perfectly cool cards just to push their favorite contestant. I admit both of these issues are very hard to overcome, but I have a few ideas I'd like to discuss with everybody who cares to do so:

1) Expand the rating system

I think it was DestroyerR who first used a fixed system of categories for their feedback posts in the discussion threads and maybe that's a good idea to help people rate cards a bit more objectively. I'd suggest a 5 star rating in three categories for every submitted card: Flavor, Balance and Execution (= no spelling mistakes, no watermark issues, ...). The average of these ratings would result in the voting person's overall rating for that card (there are arguments for and against showing that overall rating to the voter, but I don't want to go too far down this road without knowing if it's technically possible and what y'all think about the general idea). This idea should also reduce the number of ties since the final rating of a card would be the average of an average.

2) Cut the Finalists Voting

I get that the Finalists Voting adds some flavor and excitement to the competition, it's a little nod of appreciation to people who got close to winning. The decrease in participation in these votes compared to the first voting stage just isn't worth it though imho. The more people are voting, the more valid is the result of the vote.

3) Rewards & Leaderboards

While I'm very proud to wear my avatar border, it would be cool to dish out more rewards for doing well in the competitions. I'm thinking of site currency, forum titels, stuff like that - most importantly, these shouldn't be given to the winners exclusively, but to a to be determined number of runners up as well. Last but not least, why not add seasonal and eternal Leaderboards to the site, based on a system that rewards points for wins and runner up placements (win = 10 points, second place = 5 points, third = 4, ... whatever).

Well, those are my ideas, now I'd be curious what you think about them and I'd be happy to see some suggestions of your own :-)

Really hoping this falls on the right eyes (again). How many years has HS been around? Why, can someone tell me, can we not craft decks with the new cards in them BEFORE the expansion launches????

It is so frustrating to have it land and there you are scrambling to put something together when you just want to PLAY with the cards you spent good money on??

The tragedy of course is how much enjoyment is being lost in this week leading up where it would be so much fun to get the deck building out of the way, pruning and reexamining it, then when it releases all you'd have to do is craft the cards you didn't get and be ready to go!!

Why do they continually sabotage their game with these silly super obvious oversights?

NOTE: I'm well aware you can do this on outside sites and import it but it doesn't have the same charm and is a pain in the ass to navigate.

I'm hoping this falls on the right eyes. I really hate how reveal season works. Dropping 80 cards on us like this really stinks. I for one really enjoy the slow drip of cards because it gives me something really exciting to watch during meals and enjoy hearing each streamers take on them.

When it's all dumped like this it takes all of the magic out of it. It's a bunch of new cards that hit the brain as less special because there's too much coming at it too fast

I would prefer it greatly being released evenly e.g. 4 cards a day over the course of a month. This would add to the fun of the anticipation and the spectacle of talking about cards leading up to the actual release 

Why do they sabotage their game like this?
