Hearthstone's Lunar New Year event is back and is now using the new in-game events system! This time around the event has a focus on Battlegrounds.
The event runs from January 17 through January 31, 2023.
The only rewards during this event are for Battlegrounds.
These can be completed one time each and will appear in order after you complete each one.
These are randomly given to you and you can get one per day during the event. Each one gives you 100 Event XP.

I like that this one only offers BG rewards, so I can ignore it (I don't play BG at all).
Here's my question, though: I feel like during past events like this one, you get either gems or XP after a game. Is that correct? Has anyone paid more attention to this than I have? If this is the case, then it sucks that I'm being given gems I can't use instead of XP I can use.
Ok, so I started paying attention. After each game (any mode), you get EITHER gems for this event OR reward track XP. I am PISSED. They are essentially taking away my XP, which I want, and giving me event gems, which I DON'T.
EDIT: Sometimes you actually get both, but I definitely had a few games where I got ONLY some gems and not any XP. I checked my XP counter between each match.
Im not getting the either or situation though. Its xp and gems, not that I pay much attention to the gems anyway. Far as I know, you get both. Wouldn't make any sense to take one away and Im sure reddit would be in flames if xp is taken away.
Sometimes when games are too short you dont see the xp ticking. That's my only explanation as to why you dont see it.

Like I said, I actually checked my XP counter in between a bunch of games, and there were several games where I earned some gems and no XP. The more it happens, the angrier I'm getting. I don't know why other people aren't enraged about this. Imagine if they started awarding Mercenaries coins instead of rewards track XP after regular Hearthstone games? People who don't play Mercenaries (which I think is most people) would flip out!
This is probably going to be a bit controversial but I'm just generally curious.
Seeing as the Lunar new year is mainly marketed towards eastern countries, would blizzard remove the event in the future seeing as Blizzard games are getting removed from China soon?
Chinese people generally celebrate this day even if they're not in or born in china. In any case, its just used as a reason to give out stuff.
Yea but now with the new Scamiseum we know Blizzard is still greedy for money. Lets hope they keep these events in future
I don't play BG's either unless i have to like in last event. Which is very disturbing.
Being forced to play something you don't like to earn the pack. Besides that BG's get enough attention already,
How about seperating it from Hearthstone..
I don't play battlegrounds, and not interested to pick it up.
But man, I'll have to download that 4gb update anyway right blizz? Just give them that separate client server already.
This event is a bit weird because its completely BG related instead of being a mishmash of both. I guess that frees me up to completely ignore it.
Battlegrounds is a very popular mode, so it is nice those players to get an event just for them.
