    If we knew more, we'd have it up!

    For the price of some of them, it definitely doesn't feel very worth it which is what makes the daily deals so nice.

    Though, I do enjoy the simplicity of the card styles at the base level. There's some really cool other styles though on top of the basic ones for some cards which makes them really awesome.

    At the moment this is not possible but it is planned. Thanks!

    Yeah, that's the big issue. There isn't much reason to read that block of text in the shop if the blog conveyed seemingly accurate information.

    If anyone wants a refund, I can't imagine it would be hard to argue it. They definitely can refund Hearthstone stuff.

    You don't have a proper sample size. You were banned for telling us the forum was "full of fucking retardeds" so why are you still here?

    Since you're ban evading, this account is being permanently closed.

    Also, if you don't like the game, don't play it. If they're rigging stuff, just quit and stop wasting your life on it. I seriously can't understand the logic behind your actions. Please do yourself a favor and seek psychological help.

    Be kind, friend.

    Yeah, its a really interesting idea from Blizzard.

    For players that don't buy big bundles every expansion, buying a themed booster can really help them out with deckbuilding for the chosen class which is a huge positive. Even someone that does buy bundles, if you're missing a chunk of one classes cards, it would be beneficial to buy them through a targeted booster.

    This is definitely a "test the waters" type of thing, much like the original shop heroes. Those heroes didn't go over too well on the comment side of things (I don't know metrics on how many people really own the heroes) which is why I assume they didn't keep bringing them out. If they printed money we would have seen more of them.

    I really want to see more themed stuff though. The Year of the Dragon pack was a really cool idea and needs to continue. I'd love to see some value-oriented Wild boosters too. Give us a Wild booster for a certain era and give it to us for cheap.

    I hope we'll get more info on their plans for more packs like this when the big announcement hits. I can't see the Year of the Dragon and Mage pack being the only ones. Anything that improves accessibility is A+

    Unfortunately, it still wouldn't make sense for this limited of data to appear ahead of schedule.

    When a pre-order goes up, they have to patch the client. The client needs assets for the new set artwork, a music clip, and the packs themselves so they can actually make them show up. None of that is currently available which means it isn't just them flipping a switch. The few times they don't need to patch the client for a new product is when the product fully exists in the client. A good example of this would be a deal on a bunch of Hearthstone packs. Initially, they can sell that directly via Battle.net and the card packs would get added to your account "from outside the game" and then when they are ready to patch, they do so and it then can also appear in the in-game shop.

    I think this was purely a mistake on their end to include her text data. That's the only part of her that we have. They'd have to also patch the client to make her image appear, her audio, and all the other little bits of data cards use to be cards.

    Overall I think they have a bit of a crappy system for dealing with all that. It could definitely be made more efficient but I guess it isn't really that big of a deal.

    My suspicion is we'll hear something whenever the new year announcement comes out.

    Or, maybe some really messed up and she isn't due for a long time. I just wish there were some WoW NPCs with the name Celeste and were Mages so we could at least try and figure out any connection to the new year or expansion - if it even exists.

    100% certain it has nothing related to Khadgar. For them to release Khadgar in the store, it doesn't really require much effort on their part and certainly doesn't require new card data! 

    Celeste remains in the client with no new data in today's patch so we're still not certain what is up with her. It was one of the first things I looked into after we got up the initial articles

    Phone updates always come out later than the desktop ones. You'll probably have to wait a few hours at least before Apple and Google validate and get the update through.

    I don't think I could handle that much greatness!

    I agree though, daily login rewards would be incredibly awesome.

    We don't have one yet, though there's plans for that with the introduction of our Battlegrounds section coming in the future :D

    From my understanding of how Hearthstone works on the backend -

    They have multiple versions of the game available when new patches are about to hit. When you connect, you get routed to a pool based on your client version. This is due to mobile clients not getting updated as fast as desktop, but they can't just prevent them from playing.

    So, because of this, when a Tavern Brawl hits right before a patch is about to go out, they only activate the brawl on the new pool of connections and not the old one. Maybe some tech prevents it from being live on both the old version and about to release version, or maybe they just don't really care much. The moment we can patch our clients and login, we'll be able to play brawl right away.

    Edit: The comment I was responding to was deleted =(

    Nevermind, I do see this problem while logged out. Going to get a deploy out to fix it immediately. Thanks for the report!

    Can you give me an exact URL where you're seeing a greyed-out thread and the URL of that thread? Thanks!

    Considering they're actually generating interest, they're going to be kept for the time being. Lots of people don't log in to Arena every day so it is a good way to know if something is available you're interested in.

    One could say a lot of things posted on any site are zero value. You could very easily see the decks we spotlight by visiting a deck database. You could go right to Blizzard's blog if you want to see patch notes they post or follow all the developer Twitter accounts to see what they have to say.

    At the end of the day, we're covering news and if people are consuming it, its worth posting about!

    Google Drive is bad for file hosting. Use a site like imgur.com
