Thanks for your reply and research, Frosty. Now I can be a little calm, since I´ve spend all my gold on new packs. It didn´t cross my mind to save at least 1500 gold for a potential preorder skin return, until I´ve spent it all. Now I´m slowly hoarding back, hoping to have enough till KT returns to the shop. My only fear now is that I´ll miss the deal in shop, since it´s so stealthed and quickly gone - just like I´ve missed Skullbearer Illidan by one day :/ An article or a little reminder for the new skins in shop would be much appreciated :D
I´m still waiting for the OG Kel'Thuzad hero to be purchasable again in shop. It´s two years now since he´s been available in Bundle and bringing him back this expansion would make sense imo, but since they´re offering this new version Kel'Thuzad, the Inevitable, I´m starting to doubt it. What do you guys think? Is it possible/realistic they would bring him back anytime soon, or we would likely need to wait a year or so longer?
The first two were from the free packs. Other than that I got diamond Murloc Holmes from paid RT and The Countess as the lvl 20 reward, which, along with other two free legendaries (Prince Renathal and Sire Denathrius), puts me to 12 total. I´m missing only 5 epics from the set. This is one of my best pack openings afaik. I got both mage legendaries, which I wanted, so I was pretty lucky I guess.
How about you? Did you manage to get what you wanted? Happy with results? If you haven´t opened yet, good luck!
So today I´ve hit lvl 240 (just as I´ve expected) and that means my end of this RT. It´s the lowest yet (by 10 lvls or so), but I didn´t really like the meta lately. I´ve hoarded 10 free MaCN packs and 10k gold, so I´m very excited to open 110 packs in the evening. I also have an Arena run opened and managed to save three Weeklies and Dailies, so I´m more than ready to go :) I bought the pass before and plan to buy it again.
Anyway, thank you all for contributing to this thread, I won´t be doing another one (already did two in a row, so I need a little pause :D), so feel free to make a new one once the expansion starts. Hopefully see you all there! Good luck with your todays/tomorrows pack opening and hope we´ll all enjoy new expansion! Cheers ♡
I´m at lvl 220 and slowly reaching the end of current RT, might reach lvl 240 and keep my next Weeklies and three Dailies for the new one. My XP achievement count stopped at 96% done, and most likely will stay that way, since it no longer grands XP and I´m missing last two required minions to complete it all - Bottomfeeder and Kotori Lightblade. I´m sooo excited to do the new achievements, hopefully will open most of the required cards. Currently I´m sitting on 9k+ coins so I should be able to open around 100 packs at the launch which feels great (time to start praying to RNG Gods). With mercs I´ve maxed another one, so I´m at round 20 done. Looking forward to the new C´thun event, I hope I´ll be able to get that sweeet diamond version.
Anyway, fingers crossed for all of you still trying to push forward and get as much levels/gold as you can before the next expansion. Good luck! :)
I remember debating if I needed to spend gold on Alleria.
And did you? 😉
Seriously now, I don´t understand their logic behind puting few skins now and then to the shop for gold for a week or so and if you miss it, you won´t be able to purchace it again. Even more so where there is absolutely no notification that a new skin is available in the shop, only bundles for money. Why can´t they let older skins be available to buy with gold anytime, just like cardbacks, once they offered them for gold in shop?
Yeah, mine stopped at 80%. I even logged in 10 minutes early and went on to do some work. Came back later to see that they have changed the stream, so the drops weren´t active for me. I quickly refreshed the stream but didn´t have much time left anymore. They could´ve left the stream open at least for an hour.. Ah well :/
I´m at lvl 200 right now (with full log) with 95% SC achievements done (thankfully they´ve finally fixed the Immolate one), expecting to end the season more or less around lvl 230, which would be my lowest yet - my previous end levels were 250+. I´ve missed a couple Ranked Weeklies (not feel like playing these past weeks), and haven´t had a friend quest for a half a year now, so there´s that. I´ve maxed another merc, so I´m at 19 now, with 25 hoarded merc packs. My gold count is at 8,3k which is nice I guess, getting ready/excited for the new expansion. I even left an Arena run opened just in case, heh. Let´s goooo :D
Yesterday I´ve hit lvl 180 and I´m at 80% XP achievements done, hoping to finish most of them before they remove the XPs from it. Too bad the Warlock one We DID start the Fire is broken after the recent patch, along with it´s Herald of Shadows not counting towards the neutrals Harold Who? achievement. I really hope they will fix it in time, but I honestly doubt it. As for mercenaries, I´m happy that I was able to finish the Yogg-Saron event this time to receive it´s Diamond version, yay! It´s my second Diamond mercenary (first was Leeeeroyyy Jenkins :D). Other than that, I´ve maxed out another merc, so I´m at 18 total now.
So, we´re like a month before the new expansion, how are you happy/unhappy with your climb this RT season? Do you expect to finish higher or lower than before? Do you plan to finish the achievements until they are still rewarding XPs, not stressing about it or have you already finished them? Anyway, wish you a good climb and a lots of gold, so we can enjoy the new expansion to the fullest :) Have fun all!
Thanks for this article Flux* (just kidding, thanks Aesan ♡). I was just peacefully eating my dinner enjoying this article and by seeing this sentence:
Quote From Aesan
It's curious* that the very first ranked season was dubbed such, and yet here we are 8 years later
I almost choked myself. OMG, is it really that long I´m playing this game? No way, I thought, but yeah, here I am 8 years later indeed XD I feel old now lol.
My all time precious cardback is Pandaria, although I didn´t earn it myself, I joined the game in the first season but didn´t have a clue about cardbacks back then, so it was the only one I missed since. I was sooo glad when they made it buyable with gold :)
Yeah, I managed to watch hour and half yesterday and another two today, and I´ve received one pack. I will try to watch tomorrow to complete the second one.
I´ve hit lvl 150 (with TP) and 1200 levels total in Tavern Regular achievement at the same time, so I could choose my seventh tier two hero Transcendence Anduin. As for Mercenaries, I got stuck on the 9th Y'Shaarj task with pirates Tag Team. I haven´t unlocked the second task for Edwin, Defias Kingpin, so I didn´t stand a chance. On the bright side, thanks to free packs from other tasks I´m missing only 4 new mercs, one rare and three Legendaries, which is cool (and I´ve finaly got enough coins to craft Deathwing). I´ve maxed out another two mercs, so I´m at 17 total. With that out of the way, I can finally focus on completing the SC XP achievements, and even finishing some of the old ones (I´ve crafted Lightforged Cariel just for the achievement and DE-d her for full dust after completion lol). Other than that, I´m just doing my quests, play one Brawl a week for pack and that´s it for me these days.
Hey all, how´s it going? For me, after two another weeks I´m at lvl 130. With XP achievements, I´m only at 70% done, not much progress here, since I´m focusing on doing the new Y'Shaarj Mercenaries Event. This time I´m stuck on Task 8 You're a Kid Now, it seems impossible to complete with my beloved Nature team, so I´ll wait for our precious Avalon for a guide with some good comp tips :) (EDIT: I see the guide is up and ready, I will look at it later, thanks, Avalon!) I´d hate to give up again on the Diamond Y'Shaarj, but seeing the other two tasks, I´m not sure if I´ll be able to finish it all. We´ll see. Right now I´m missing 7 of the new mercenaries, 4 epics and 3 Legendaries and have maxed out another two (15 total). All new normal bounties are done, but I won´t do Heroic ones now, because I want to start to focus on completing XP achievements again. Anyway, good luck all with anything you´re doing/trying to achieve :)
As expected, I´ve hit lvl 100 at the end of the week, choosing Garrosh of Might as my 6th RT hero. The new XP achievements has sent me back to 60% done (down from 80%), but since I´ve bought the mini set with gold (getting a nice coin thanks to that), it shouldn´t be a problem. At least I hope so, as I haven´t seen them yet, praying there´s no Oh my Yogg! difficulty this time :P As for mercenaries, I´ve hoarded 19 free packs from tasks, so I´m more than ready to get most of the new ones right away, even more so when I found out that there is free golden Tyreal mercenary in the shop! Yay!
@Avalon, thanks for the guide, I do have Balinda, but haven´t seen any comp including her? I´ve tried murlocs, dragons, humans, orcs, even nature comps, but to no luck :/ I think it´s mainly because I´m missing many of the required equipments locked behind heroic bosses. Ah well, never mind, maybe next time.. At least I have chicken! :D
GL with the new set and hopefully fresh meta? HF all and don´t forget to share! :)
I´m at lvl 95, hoping to hit lvl 100 at the end of this week. My XP achievement count is at 80% done, didn´t really work on it, since I was focusing on Mercenaries these days. Still missing Deathwing (350/500), but it´s the only one I don´t own by now. Another two are maxed out, so it puts me at number 13 total. As for the N´Zoth event, I´m forever stuck at Murlocs in the Valley. I can get all the way up to the Rotimer no problem, only to get one shooted in the boss battle. I´m thinking about giving up, tho I really like the Diamond N'Zoth. Just like I gave up with the Chi-Ji event, can´t have them all I guess :P
Again, thanks all for contributing to this thread :) Good luck!
I woke up to an email from Twitch: PlayHearthstone is live: Get your rave claws on! Happening now with Twitch Drops!
I´ve logged in only to find out there are no drops active. Came here, but no mention of drops either. Now I´m confused. Are there supposed to be drops for this stream or not 🤔

Hey all, since this is the second day of the new expansion, most of us probably opened their packs and I wonder how did it go for you?
I was able to open 120 packs (13 free + 107 w/gold) and get 8 non-golden legendaries:
Kryxis the Voracious
Kael'thas Sinstrider
The Stonewright
Kel'Thuzad, the Inevitable
Lady Darkvein
Artificer Xy'mox
Theotar, the Mad Duke
Orion, Mansion Manager
The first two were from the free packs.

@NebuchadnezzarHS Grats mate! You did it again. WP :)
Shhh, just don´t tell Flux 😉
Heh, cool idea, I had fun making this, thanks! It´s my first ever custom made card, so please be kind :D
