I assume the rewards are cumulative? That is, if I go from Bronze 10 to Silver 3, I get the rewards for Bronze 5, Silver 10, and Silver 5 (totalling 3 standard Rare cards and one card pack)? That's what I'd assume but it isn't clear to me.
Are the cards golden? Pity if they aren't, I like the golden cards and looked forward to getting a few every month...
Has to be - otherwise the rewards wouldn't make sense. i.e. Silver 10 = Legend
Better to not open packs right now until the duplicate protection is in place.
Great for rares but especially epics as we all hate that feeling when you need like 10 epics from a set but just get your 3/4/5th of an epic you don't want at all.
They didn't touch on their expansion their paid adventure strategy as far as I know (or I missed it). I'd like to know so I can budget for it.
I don't know which announcement this is in the announcement of announcement chain - I can maybe win a Hearthstone game sometimes but not keep track of such things. (I think I need a deck tracker and announcement tracker).
But good news! Let's hope it's a good stream that's fun to watch.
But even if it isn't I know OOC will give us the lowdown!
I really can't reinforce how important it is that you, Blizzard, prevent players from meeting up.
This. Once again Flux you and I are in total agreement about sensible measured precautions relating to this virus. There's just no need for these physical gatherings right now for an online card game.
Hopefully those in charge agree. Plenty of ways around this to still provide a pre launch experience as you said.
I wish they would just tell us what they are going to do. Like cool that’s staying dead but why don’t you just... tell us what’s getting unnerfed instead
Totally agree. Let's get some proper info about what's going to be happening
Good job, man! That feels good and you will feel that way for a couple more weeks. Enjoy it!
I hit Legend for the first time in January... and then again in February. TBH, I was kind of disappointed because of the second time in a consecutive month. :-/
Btw I heard that it's much easier to hit legend in Wild (where I did myself also).
Thanks mate (and everyone else I've not specifically thanked)! Feels good and wanted to mark the occasion so I can come back and read this post some point in the future to relive the feeling.
Emailled my gf at 5 in the morning with the screenshot - she was asleep upstairs and this morning said "you should have come and woken me up!". Yeah I don't think that would have gone well for me :P :P
Could be easier in Wild maybe - hit Rank 2 a few times in standard but I wasn't trying then and even though I had half the month left played on different accounts/formats.
Am f2p and playing in Wild at least means I don't lose half my collection each year and crafting investments more worthwhile (usually). When standard gets boring play Wild, tired of Wild play standard!
Big CG man! I bet that felt awesome! It is funny how when you make legend, you're first a pretty high rank cause most Legend players already doing goofy stuff so they deranked heavilly :D
Thanks!
Actually I looked me up on the Blizzard ladder web page, and there were only 125 players in EU Wild Legend at the time, so yes I AM TOP #100 LEGEND!!!!!! Wow! Oh, but there's only 125 people and some of them are probably playing meme decks for fun. Ah :(
lol still sounds good if you don't know the context though :) :)
Sure mate - there's a more standard list that runs the ritualist instead of Hecklebots and Aya instead of a Spellkin. That might be better for this works for me.
Dreamed of making this thread, but after 4 years of playing didn't think it would ever happen. It's a bit self congratulatory but I hope this one time that's ok.
Was rank 13 wild starting last season and managed to get to Rank 1 for the first time ever.
This month I decided it was time to properly try - I'd just play up to 10 games each night until the season was over or I hit legend for the first time, and earn that card back (which I won't use because I don't actually like it lol).
I used my version of Dragon Jade Druid which I really like. My 4 year old Druid isn't even level 60 so it's fair to say I'm not an expert Druid player:)
Had 82% winrate - 27-6
Even better Rank 1 final boss emoted Well Played so I added him (I give kudos to anyone who emotes WP on a loss) and we had a great chat after. Explained first time legend situation and he was really kind and we kinda of shared it together :P Props to him.
Anyway, rambled enough so just to say if you are trying to do the same, there's lots of advice out there. But you can do it if you play, practice and a bit of good RNG helps too :)
I wonder how this will work FIRST reset. We still get star multiplier from old system rank placement?
Has to be - otherwise the rewards wouldn't make sense. i.e. Silver 10 = Legend
I wonder if existing heroes and cards get new voicelines relating to Illian.
Neferian needs one :)
And Tyrande and Malfurion surely :)
I actually agree with you on this.

I feel you!
Blizzard still ignoring my nerf Ramming Speed campaign (not that I have 5 copies of it or anything, err ok I do).
Thanks man (and everyone else with kind words :) )
I love these weekend articles :)
Usually don't have all the cards but it gives me ideas - glad we have rank floors these days :P
You are now my official announcement of announcement tracker my friend :)

As long as we can all enjoy card reveal timers for at least a little while - favorite part of pre expansion for me!
Cheers mate :)
Sounds like I will need an umbrella and a flashlight.
There's a fair few guides on legend in general - e.g.:
https://hearthstone-decks.net/legend-in-hearthstone/
Also a number of streamers play ultra cheap budget decks that are legend viable. Oldguardian is my favourite.
