Those are our two spotlight slots that appear on all pages regardless of the type of content you're on. They are there to help promote important stuff.
The blank space is an ad slot that is empty due to you having premium. It is a known issue that needs to be handled!
I put Luna in brackets so the community better understands the connection.
She stated in her original post that her name would remain bloodyface "for now". Not sure if that means that we'll see Luna use her real-life name in the future or a new tag, but I did want to make sure we had our bases covered on the most important event in the year - there's a very good chance she wins (and earns me some sweet packs).
We've been in contact with our vid provider and they've adjusted the player so that it now properly has the close button. You'll notice it is now on the left side of the screen as well on mobile to the button should be touchable now.
We've been working on making the video experience better and a deployment has gone out with some tweaks. Unfortunately, there is also a misconfiguration on the provider's end that is cached so right now there is an obnoxious bar at the bottom of the screen. This is not supposed to look like this!
Thanks for the continued feedback, it is greatly appreciated and I promise you that we'll get this experience right. All the various devices and browsers make it absolutely fun to deal with.
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to do smaller one-time support payments on the site. Taking them month-by-month over Paypal directly would eat into the payments with the fees. Patreon lets us avoid this somewhat since they charge much smaller fees overall.
With that said, you can become a Patron and then cancel the recurring billing on it once your Premium rewards arrive on the site as they'll be valid for 30 days. Just make sure you hookup your Out of Cards account to Patreon before doing so to make sure it goes through. That is accessible in account management under social connections.
We might have a better way to accommodate this next year when we do a refresh of the Premium program. I haven't worked out all the details on that specifically though.
For record's sake, this was up and available during the majority of reveal season. Every news article linked to this under the Tavern Crawl banner. We just made a final push of its existence to make sure people finished up anything they were missing.
Blizzard will always remain at fault for refusing to document how the reward pass worked and not talking about how much XP we could expect from events. They failed to paint the full picture, it was like one of those botched Spanish restorations, and because of that, the community went wild.
They knew it was going to be datamined with everything being client-side. They would be fools to think otherwise after having the game datamined for the past 7 years.
I just wish places would have better controlled and directed the outrage. A lot of it was just senseless bashing without any constructive discussion. Even some pillars of the community failed to do the right thing and approach it from a constructive POV, furthering the outrage. I get it though, outrage gets clicks. Outrage makes you important.
I'm more disappointed in the community for acting the way they did (reddit mainly). It will always take time for a large company to go through the processes to make an announcement, and that's after they figure out what to do. The silence definitely sucked, even a "we're still working out the details" would have been nice, but we knew they weren't going to let this be the failure of the game.
I'd still really like to see a bonus chunk of XP for completing your weekly brawl as a further incentive for people to dive into the mode for a couple of games a week, but this is 100% a step in the right direction. Reward consistency is so key to making it feel like a good experience and they've hit the nail on the head by not only reducing XP required but also by putting more gains into the system.
I'm assuming we'll continue to see Landmarks added since Riot likes the card type. Also, this one is Rare over the usual Epic that Landmarks have been so it seems like there may be a rare and epic for each region at some point.
Thanks for the report, Evilgnomey. These have all been flagged correctly and once cache clears, they will be in the deckbuilder.
I'm not sure how long "waiting for a while" is, but in the future, if you see any issues, please bring them to our immediate attention! Stuff can sometimes slip through the cracks and no one on the team is aware and we certainly won't bite =D.
The ads will auto-play but are supposed to do so muted. It's good to hear they are muted now for you. If anyone else has any issues with sound automatically playing from them, please reach out!
The right-side close button is, unfortunately, not configurable.
Okay, it looks like on the recent thread page specifically, there's an overflow with the content which is why the x can't be touched without the horizontal scroll - will make sure we get this fixed. If there are other pages you see this happening on, please do provide URLs so we can see what's going on.
To be clear, the video ad unit should never play sounds unless you specifically interact with it. Is there a specific ad you've seen that is doing it or is it something you've seen on all pages? I haven't had any auto-sound appear during testing and seeing it live, though I do know this is an issue with some other providers.
And for the images, they don't embed because that isn't a direct link to the image. Image hosts nowadays don't give you a direct link but rather a page link that has the image embedded on the page. This can't work on our image embeds because it would be embedding an entire web page as an image which isn't possible. You can typically long-press said image to retrieve the "image address" and use that to embed it here, though links are just as fine too. You're looking for an image extension (png, jpg, jpeg, gif) at the end of an image's URL to confirm that it is a direct link to the image file itself that will embed.
Slysssa changed the scheduled time on the video. Updated the post with the new times (3 hours earlier than previously stated)

Thanks for the continued feedback everyone!
Thanks for the support!
The PayPal payments are all manually verified. Got you hooked up and a PM was sent (though you've probably seen that by now).
Hey all,
We've been working on making the video experience better and a deployment has gone out with some tweaks. Unfortunately, there is also a misconfiguration on the provider's end that is cached so right now there is an obnoxious bar at the bottom of the screen. This is not supposed to look like this!

That's been fixed! Thanks

We also did this for Scholomance!
Nope!

Thanks for the report; This has been fixed! The pages will uncache themselves in a while.

FWIW they've used that art for Choose Your Champion for years now :D

Which version of chrome are you using? (Or other web browser)
Could you show me a screenshot of what you're seeing?
Thanks
It's a known issue. It happen when a post is made in a thread but deleted from the public eye.
