I can understand the lack of communication by Blizzard about these twitch drops because of all the current events and such.
However.. such a short timeframe (which in Europe is also at night btw), with no previous notice, AND a requirement of 2 + 4 hours??? I mean....
I won't lose my sleep over 2 missed free packs but still I find all this quite disrespectful for the players.
Thank you for this reminder Flux ♡ I would´ve missed it. Watched the first two hours, then went to sleep, woke up at 3am to claim my second pack and closed the stream. Two extra packs are never a bad thing. Cheers! :D
The drops count stopping? Is there anymore drops scheduled? I haven't got any. Last time I look was 61% and gone.
It stops at 11am gmt+8 if Im not mistaken.
Either that or twitch froze, or did something you weren't aware of. Its a rather long stream so checking once a while might be a better plan than turn on and forget.
Alright, after looking at the new cards and watching a few streamers, here's a short view on the quests and new cards in general;
- Quest decks seem bad. A lot of them complete around turn 7 in general, and as expected many of the rewards aren't exactly worth their weight. The only quests that have impressed me is druid, rogue, mage, warrior, and hunter.
- Mage fire spells are strong enough for you to just continue playing spell mage, with or without the quest. My initial concerns of mage not being able to complete this because fire spells are pretty bad is extinguished by nearly all spells in this expansion being fire spells, and all of them are good. The quest allows you to nearly always win against control decks because Ignite is broken as hell. But in most scenarios you'd just easily do without it.
- Druid quest will thrive if your opponent is burn or aggro. Basically you play as ramp druid with Cenarion Ward at the top end, and you curve into this along with the quest. The quest and reward aren't the real deal, they just allow you to live past the early game. I personally think any midrange or control deck will beat this handily
- Rogue does rogue things. The quest is fine but rogue again suffers from the lack of health and useful taunts. Could be that the SI decks are just too slow, but refinement can easily change things. If you do get the reward, its fairly scary for your opponent because nog-gen fog generator and fizzflash distractor can easily turn the game around.
- Warrior is the real aggro class next turn around. But I suspect it fits into midrange better, because skipping turn 1 for an aggro deck is pretty much a no-no.
- Hunter quest allows you to somewhat play raza priest in standard. But because hunters cant heal, this one gets dumped on by aggro and burn, like really badly. Unless you can find some way to stabilize or play big taunts, there's just no way you'd win those matches because the quest really forces you to play cards that don't really protect your face.
- The other quests? Priest can easily win without the quest funnily enough. Shaman has a lot of strong cards, but nothing beats just playing Doomhammer and winning. By the time you get the reward you'd likely have no cards so its really not doing anything. Quest paladin needs refinement, Im not giving up on this yet, but you wouldn't be be playing quest pally because midrange handbuff would be the real deal. Dhunter quest is laughable. Nuff said.
- Best deck in my opinion would be midrange handbuff paladin. Seen Kibler's stream with this deck. Its basically the same sermon midrange deck with plenty of taunts except you snowball really fast because Alliance Bannerman is broken. The only way you lose is through burn, and even then I'm not 100% sure.
- Didn't get to see much of shadow priest, or Bolner Hammerbeak. Sad.
- My take is that top of the mountain will likely be shaman, druid, paladin.
wow nice twitch drops ... so streamer go offline at 94% at my second pack so why when i watching other it goes from 1% ? like really ? it was not like this so you tell me i need to watch 4 more hours ? :D
I don't think that's usually the case. Maybe it takes some time for it to properly catch up?
does anybody know when we can open packs early via fireside gathering?
Should be late Friday!
In the past, it used to be whenever the cards were added to the game. Last expansion that changed and with the lack of communication, the answer has become: "who the hell knows?"
6 hours? That's a record...
I honestly thought it was a mistake, but its pretty clearly the rules on the Twitch Drops page.
Meh, I mean who actually watches anyway
