Worse than Venomous Scorpid IMO, at least the beast has poison and can trade with a minion. Unless it works with C'Thun, the Shattered but I doubt it does.
Well, that was a real different story! Enli is a great dude and a very good BG player by the way. I might not have won the lobby, but the contents of the free pack I opened was: 1 legendary + 1 epic + 3 commons. Feeling like a winner, definitely worth the wait ^_^
Ok, you have convinced me to give it another shot. I just hope it will not be another disappointment and waste of time, but I feel encouraged this time around!
Totally agree with the waste of time comment, feels like a scam indeed. They did not even manage to enter me in a single private BG game to collect a free pack. I feel cheated, a little bit.
I will definitely get the new Tavern Pass, but I will skip the 2 Battlegrounds portraits limited bundles. Bummer, because up till now I have all the collectible cosmetics (except for a few exclusive cardbacks).
Reasons FOR buying:
I am a completionist (gotta catch em all, so shut up and take my money!)
Reason AGAINST buying:
I cannot keep up with the huge influx of cosmetics (would become another money sink)
I do not play Battlegrounds all that often (might as well be a different game altogether)
Except for the bartender portraits, there is no guarantee the new hero portraits will be offered frequently enough for you to see them anyways (some of the hero portraits are overwhelmingly cute though)
My personal opinion would be sad because I will not reach the end of the rewards track. It just sounds better in my mind to claim I completed such a feat.
However, I am happy for the bigger grinders out there, because they can still collect as much gold as before per rewards track.
Because it requires a considerable amount of playtime to reach the end of the rewards track. I have done it for the first track just to figure out if I could achieve it, but I had to increase my playtime by a factor of 3 at least. This time I will reach level 350 with less playtime, which means I should be able to hit the end of the third track with similar playtime.
Wow, now the Elemental package receives healing also. I guess Elemental Shaman will stick around for at least another expansion, which I like though!
They might as well add Taunt to this card. No way this card does not get removed asap.
Perfect addition to Pirate warrior in Standard. In Wild it is too slow and does not add more value to the perfect builds out there.
Bad card for constructed, but value card for Arena or Duels. Somehow I feel the art does not fit well into HS though.
Decent but also underwhelming, there are plenty of better Pirate options out there. OK when discovered I guess.
Auto include in the new Shadow Priest archetype. I will definitely take this weapon for a spin on launch day.
Funny how the hosts of the Angry Chicken podcast could remenisce about this card and hearing their experiences in the past in WoW. Loved that episode.
More Silence for Priest and discoverable by Wandmaker too. Priest will be hated by even more players now (if that was possible).
Chillwind Yeti on steroids, this goes into every elemental deck out there. 5/5 stars

Great advice, Aesan... kudos to you! 😁

I tried twice with Bemmie:
In both cases I waited around for at least half an hour and the ultimate result was the same -> no BG game played and thus no free pack.
By the way, unrelated but I ran into you in the game and you directed me to Bemmie ^_^

Just my 2 cents.

Just visit all the small halls around the big lobby and you should be able to reach level 5 in less than 15 minutes or so.

I just had my bowl of ramen, itadakimasu!
I am at level 5 and I still get the cooldown message even though it has been 2 days since I last claimed my 1 and only free pack (sigh)
Also, the game does not remember my level. Every time I enter the game I start at level 0 again. Almost seems like Groundhog Day.
