Yes they are just goldenstandard card packs, nothing exclusive at all...
Im gonna feed the troll.
Exclusive means you cannot get these via any other means than with cash. This isnt the case. You can craft almost any card as golden. Exclusive is the Tavern pass and the heros they attach to those that can ONLY be gotten through purchase of the pass.
I get it - maybe you arent a native speaker of the English language but dont be stubborn. This offer is not exclusive and it's not Blizz greed. Greed would be upping the price of the next expansion bundle across the board. This deal here is TOTALLY optional to one's collection.
Yes, they pointed out just for 1 legendary. They also said this deal was a good deal. Your response to not give them any greedy ideas could have been for either point OP made. I took it as an attack on the actual deal of legendary + 5 packs.
Ive lost interest and time in this discussion so whatever else you are saying...I cant be bothered. Have a good day.
I don't recall using any heavy words such as that, merely pointing out the fact. There were people who got it for $7 and more who would've bought it for that price, but not for $10. So discounts do matter, and Hearthstone is pretty bad at offering them even for dated cosmetics. The steep pricing of most deals is its own separate subject, and it also depends on your location (certain regions get really hurt by extremely unfavorable Euro/Dollar conversions).
The people that got it for $7 got it during the pricing mistake, right? It wasnt a discount....it was an error on Blizz's part. Did they take away their purchase? I didnt hear it. People just got in when it was their advantage. We all know the price it should have been. HS IS bad at offering discounts on old content - agreed. Region to region costs have never been apples and oranges since the dawn of time.
Point Im trying to make is OP pointed out how $5 wasnt such a bad deal and here you are chiming in that it's all about them being greedy and testing the waters with something like this. If you dont like it, move along. You go and think they Blizzard upped the cost of something they thought was priced too low....when in fact, it was a pricing error. It was just 2 poor thoughts that caused me to hit the reply button and say what I did.
Btw, your first sentence says you pointed out fact when you actually didnt - 1 was an opinion and the other was an err'ed statement.
Am I being too harsh on a random person? Perhaps I could have sugar coated things.....but the truth hurts sometimes. Feel the sting, learn, and move on.
Either you and I both got lucky or this is more typical than it looks. I also got 3 legendaries from the freebie and 2 from the 5 packs - 1 being golden. And, to boot, I got an epic as well. Best $5 spent in HS evar
No, no, don't give them ideas to get more greedy when they happen to come up with something that isn't terribly overpriced once in a while. :P I don't suppose this would happen here or people might riot, but they went back and increased the cost of old Alleria's hero skin after the initial offer had lower cash price.
They said that was a pricing error and fixed it. If you wanna call it conspiracy, so be it. Eventually, you need to take things at face value. Second guessing everything in the world that doesnt really matter is exhausting.
You now get 2 packs every weekend for Grandmasters on YouTube. Considering we used to only get 1-2 special events like this one per expansion where we had drops, I can't say that Blizzard is stingy anymore.
I believe it was 2 opening weekend, 2 finals weekend, and then 2 total....somewhere in between for a maximum of 6 across however many weekends it is. 2 every week woulda been nice.
This just reinforces the idea that women are weak and fragile and incapable of doing anything by themselves. I fail to understand how artificial representation made for political reasons will change anyone's mind. If you want to be respected you need to change yourself first and foremost. Don't cry and whine, don't ask to change the entire world, so it would be more comfortable for you. This is not what a mature and capable person does.
This is just pathetic. Worthless virtue signaling.
I get where you are coming from but I think it's less about putting a "weak and fragile" gender into the spotlight. It's about putting an equal into the spotlight who has never had or had less time under it because of their gender.
This is HS - a digital game. It's not physical in the typical sense. Nobody is suggesting putting women into the NFL just because...or combining the ATP and WTA tennis tours together just because....or allowing co-ed track and field events just because. In a physically demanding sport, gender does matter. I follow tennis which is why I mentioned the ATP and WTA. Have you seen what kind of serve the men have on tour and how the women respond to it when they are on the receiving end? Many times, they are lucky to get a racquet on the ball. This is fact - search YT. In HS, if there were no camera, no mic, and all you had to go by were a player's moves....you couldnt tell the difference between a male vs a female of equal skill.
Also, I believe the lack of women all these years is due to the HS Community Manager and this uprising is years in the making.
I dont care if you wear a skirt, come from the Himalayas, missing 2 legs and an arm. If you can play and are entertaining, I want to see you.
Remember, this is an invitational. The people in it didn’t win their place through pure skill. Blizzard chose them as part of a strategy to grow and guide the community. Those choices have unconsciously favored white men for years, and the cumulative effect is that people like Regis make a successful career while equally deserving women have not. The best way to address this is to make a point of giving women the chances that they previously missed.
Honestly, I think a lot of this inequality is due to their Community Manager and I fault him for this. This mini-explosion has been years in the making if you ask me.
Im just weird I guess. Im not actually looking at the diamond card and critiquing the art of the borders. I just see it from a bird's eye POV and think it's shiny and unique. Golds can be crafted, opened, or just given as part of a bundle. For a diamond, you either had to pony up $20 or collect all of the legendaries which, funny enough, probably also means you had to pony up money as well.
So to me, which is harder? Getting a golden legendary or a diamond?
I was part of the Zalae thread recently and probably didnt help the conversation thread since I was going back and forth with someone I didnt agree with. This was yesterday and I see now that the thread's comments are now hidden. However, Im unable to see the comment replies I got - 1 being Flux himself.
I agree regarding the thread being made hidden from comments. I dont agree that if we got a response, we can no longer see it at all.
What I would like to see is maybe the full comment if you hover over the link of the thread title under Site Notifications. This would bypass rare situations where a thread is locked but also would allow us to avoid having to click and reload the thread.
Bonus - I would love to know what Flux replied back to me with. I care less about the other person that replied.
I get it - you want facts. You want something hard and tangible to sink your teeth into and not pixy dust and smoke. Fact of the matter is statistically, the numbers are not favorable for women in situations of abuse. Also realize that this has happened before within esports or just the online community and how many were actually false alarms? Boy that cried wolf?
Yes, it's still technically wrong to judge a guy unconvicted of his crime, especially without hearing his side. You arent wrong in your stance. At this point, the evidence weighs heavily against him though. We dont know what Blizzard knows but the fact they suspended him is a big deal IMO.
While I may be wrong to judge against him....I'll take my chances on this one and take my leap of faith.
....and wtf is with your language? "Jesus dude"? really? What are you? A college frat boy with nothing respectful to say? It's called a discussion on an online forum.
While I understand where OP was coming from with the more neutral stance....the site, and maybe I have it wrong here, isnt supposed to be the CNN/NBC/ABC of TCGs for news reporting. After this article went up, I checked another site and no article - just a slight Edit to mention what happened. Another site didnt even mention it. A third site just stated the basics that he was banned and a new spot opened up for someone else. You actually went the mile and gave us more information.
I had never considered an AI ladder and now I wants. No more waiting for slow people, people BM'ing you, or just the usual "people gotta think" delay. Games will be so fast. Ofc, I say this now but part of getting better is not playing bad players....or AI. Still....
Dont be so narrow. There have been plenty of cards where what you said was said about them and all it took was support thrown their way and they become 1-2 tier. Have faith in the team.
For posterity sake - the achievement is under:
Gameplay --> Barrens expansion --> Neutral
Neutral is the last section so scroll passed all the classes and look for the achievement with the "???" in the name
Im gonna feed the troll.

It's actually frightening how casually you are taking this all in. The offense is really serious and happens quite a bit.
I thought it was well played. =)

Just resubbed to you on Twitch Prime btw. =)

Hang on. Is this why my wins counter jumped up on a few heroes? What exactly happened here because I havent seen any mention of this until your post
--EDIT: according to reddit, looks like the extra wins came from some Arena games I had played that finally counted.
Way to completely ignore what I said.
