Tyrande, oh where oh where: Cont'd

Some international Hearthstone news:
Recently there is a Hearthstone promotion in mainland China that allows you to earn 6 golden packs by playing Candy Crush Saga.

I am astounded. I have never ever seen such a generous promotion done by Bli$$ard - probably the second best promo after Tyrande in Hearthstone.

Meanwhile, other Asian and SEA countries don’t get this promotion, neither do NA or EU.

However, an unofficial source suggested that there would be more HS promos with other games until the end of the year.

Still two and a half months to go… There is a small drop of hope

To say nothing of every other country that got intentionally excluded from the first Tyrande promotion…one of the reasons the first thread and this one exists in the first place.

It’s troubling that this is yet another major promotion done over there while other countries are left by the wayside. I suppose that isn’t entirely accurate, as many people have taken the time to post about the fact that team 5/actiblizz have adjusted the currency conversion rates against the customer so they reap the maximum benefits from the transaction, effectively pricing people out of the game. Unlike other companies (e.g. steam) who take the hit on the currency conversion so they keep the playing field (no pun intended) as fair as possible so as not to exclude people.

Especially for a company like actiblizz, who enjoys going on about how “inclusive” they are…they sure do ignore a large amount of their global playerbase.

Friendly reminder that Team 5 has 72 days left to deliver on their Tyrande promise. I’m starting to doubt the chances she’s coming back, considering we haven’t heard anything about Tyrande in 6 months.

The deadline hasn’t been reached yet, though I can’t blame you for doubting. An official update would be nice.

Blizzard said it will be the biggest Blizzcon ever. I wonder if there is a chance of Tyrande comming back

Blizzcon would be the time, I really hope it’s not a different portrait. If it is they’ll nerf her like Jaina

If she’s coming back, she’s going to be locked behind a 80$ bundle because, you know, why not.

They can’t lock her behind a preorder bundle since what would be the point for people who already have her. If Tyrande is coming back, she has to be free of charge.

Yup. Otherwise it would be pretty unfair

Those who already have her can have their accounts locked until they pay 80$ :grinning:

I really hoped for Tyrande announcement today. Oh well…

Seriously where is she? Blizzcon was the time to announce her coming back. The only way I still see her coming back before the end of the year is through some holiday after Descent of Dragons launch in December. Please don’t let this be another lie.

Edit: Good news! Mike Donais just confirmed again on Reddit Tyrande will be back before the end of the year.

Screen capped that one. Not letting that vanish into the ether.

Giving it away free. Trust, but verify…but cautiously optimistic point increased by 1.

I cannot post the screenshot of this right now, but there is now evidence of her being promised once more. They have 2 months, though.

You mean the Reddit post, or was there another confirmation of her return?
