Blizzard Adding a Battle Pass to Hearthstone? Survey Highlights Alternate Art for The Coin, New Hero Skins, Paid Leveling Rewards

it was never mentioned that those wouldnt be possible to disenchant, only the golden legendary couldnt be disenchanted. in addition the duplication rules will likely apply to those cards aswell

Yeah, I stand by what I said, this whole thing would be terrible for the game.

you may dislike it, but for the average player its a big boost

If you say so, I don’t see it.

Theres a f2p pass too… whats the issue ? I swear people like you are so greedy.

But under the current system, playing once every three days to clear quests would net you, on average, 6600 gold (55g average quest reward x ~120 days between expansions). That is over 50% more gold than the 3990 gold you get from the free pass, and that’s if you max out XP. I’m not seeing how this pack is an improvement over that.

So instead of saving up gold and getting a solid number of packs day one I now at most save 4k gold (I’m assuming it’s not going to be as easy as logging in for 20 minutes every day like it is now) and have to grind the entire expansion to get the packs I would otherwise get instantly? And on top of that a good chunk of those packs are not even the new ones. Looks kinda terrible to be honest.

the gold difference accounts for 26 packs, in addition to the gold you can get 32 packs, 2 epics (honestly not amazing but people keep whining about not getting golden epics anymore), 2 legendaries which adds quite a lot to f2p players with current pity timer

I sure would hope that maxing out a battle pass would give you better rewards than playing once every three days. But if the amount of gameplay required to max out a battle pass is too high, then the end result is that most players will lose out on resources.

Again, if the battle pass benefits from a time investment equivalent to clearing quests every three days aren’t comparable to 6600 gold, then the battle pass is not a great deal for most players.

Calling me names eh.

I shall call you a poor kid who can’t even afford 30 bucks every 4 months.

Pathetic. Just quit this game already

You obviously can’t read either.

The free battle pass as proposed is currently roughly equivalent to 7190 gold + 2 Epics & Legendaries if you hit level 100.

You will still get daily quests, but instead of gold they’ll reward you with xp. And the 10 gold/3 wins seems to be changed to “play games in any mode for xp”, which seems to indicate that you’ll get xp for Battlegrounds, Arena and Single Player games in addition to Casual and Ranked games. You’ll probably get a massively reduced amount of xp for Single Player games, but the wording does suggest you’ll still get some xp.

With the cap on xp/week being claimed to be around 9000, I would hope you could get 7000 xp/week on a more casual basis. If you manage to average 7000 xp/week for 16 weeks, you’ll end up at level 82, which means 3220 gold + 11 packs from old expansions + 16 packs from current expansion or roughly 5920 gold along with 2 Epics and 2 Legendaries.

Yeah, it definitely seems like the quality of the battle pass hinges a lot on how fast XP is earned. Hopefully the introduction of the battle pass will make earning things better, or at least not any worse than it currently is.

this the only part i dont like about this
cash only legendaries is a terrible idea

A rough maximum of experience earned per week is stated to be 9000.

and you need 147000 EXP for 100 level

[49500 exp for level 50]

147000 / 9000 = 17 week

17 week > 4 months.

Lol Hearthstone copying LoR?

Still Hearthstone needs a progress mode and Battle pass sounds like a good way to do it IF AND ONLY IF DONE CORRECTLY. If for ex gold quests leave and battlepass rewards are the only thing staying than this would simply push away the casual players and keep the more grinding and paying ones.

it’s not because those 32 packs are for that expansion and a previous one. When I save up gold it’s to buy packs for the NEW expansion. The one that you would be starting at level 1 of the battle pass. So you are losing lots of packs for the new one.
