Tyrande, oh where oh where: Cont'd

Blizzard you fools, why couldn’t I just chose to have Tyrande rather than the new hero in the new bundle? Now I will not buy at all out of spite. Good job.

I’ve been following this thread for a long time now. The old one even, I followed that for months. Didn’t really say anything because it seemed like everything I thought was already being said, but maybe we need more voices.

The fact that promises have been made time and time again about the release of this hero is ridiculous. The deflection and inability to answer and acknowledge a simple question is pure baloney. To look at a large mass of people and wave them off, people the contribute tons of money and promote your product (of course by playing, spending money, and talking with others about it), is bad customer service and bad attention to your fan base. The fact that Blizzard has fallen so far as to not give a clear and dedicated baffles me.

If it is really so difficult to release Tyrande, explain it. Tell the crowd about any deal with Twitch or whatever else may be going on. Even give a simple brief version of the whole story, I’ll accept that. The fan base will accept that.

But whatever this is? The ignoring, the stubbornness to just give this issue any time of day? That’s how you lose loyal players, that how the company loses more and more money, and that’s how you struggle to keep going. The fact that something so simple and small just can’t be given any time of day is just ugh

I can’t.

I grew up playing WoW, I have so many amazing memories playing Blizzard games with my father. I’m kinda a Blizzard fan girl because of it, I just tend to really enjoy almost all games they’ve put a hand into. But this complete lack of customer service over something that could be resolved or helped so easily really has me wondering why I keep playing Hearthstone and many of their other games. If this is how the people at Hearthstone are going to treat my concerns and my questions, what is there to tell me others at the company will treat me any better?

I’m disappointed.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. The fact that this thread has more replies and views than any other thread in the community discussion forum, and yet still does not have a single blizz reply is baffling to say the least.

Adding an unknown Troll priestess will do nothing to distract me from the fact that Tyrande, the most important, and prominent priest in Warcraft lore, is not available to anyone who wants to play as her in Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. Anduin is still the most insufferable base hero. Sadly, priest is my favorite class to play.

Thanks for this; So many of us can relate. The whole reason I joined the forums was to add my story to the countless others who all echo the same sentiment.

Blizz : Here. Have something you neither want nor asked for, for a 100$

Whoever thought that this was going to work needs to be replaced.

It honestly seems like any type of communication slowly started to faded once a lot of people left. In your quoted posts, we have direct answers from the team. They leave, we get some kinda peace making from Jesse. Until any communication on the topic or attempt to work it out just ceases. I think that’s what has me so riled up. I can sit back a little and wait for something to happen as long as I have updates and an idea of what’s happening/going on. But sitting here in the dark feeling ignored and pushed aside is just horrid. Where did that communication go? And why would anyone decide that was the right course of action?

Having looked at videos previewing Madame Lazul (the new Priest hero), I can safely say she is lacklustre compared to Tyrande in basically every way (aside from her hero power animation).

Blizzard giving us a mediocre Priest hero isn’t going to silence us and at this point the lack of communication is insulting.

Still missing the lovely High Priestess of Elune…but at least I don’t have to deal with the pretty boy anymore. Of course if Tyrande becomes available in my region (never offered here) she will become an automatic selection for priest.

2 and a half year, empty promises, left or fired staff… Tyrande in a locked vault, and the key of the vault is engulfed in molten lava.
I honestly hard to find words to describe my dissatisfaction. As a loyal customer, I am ignored. Cheaters still enjoy Tyrande all around the world, and Blizzard has not have a word on it.

On one of many Polish Hearthstone groups, somebody was boasting about how they lied to the staff that their location has to be a bug and they got Tyrande. I felt awful.

Each to their own.
I personally think Madame Lazul is one of the best heroes they’ve released so far. Up there with Maiev and Nemsy.
While Anduin and Tyrande is both at the bottom. But its mostly because of their Warcraft lore and not Hearthstone related.

Can someone just ask someone at Team 5, yes or no, will Tyrande come back for players in the NA and EU regions, instead of dodging the question or giving a vague answer. Just say yes or no, instead of leaving us hanging since before Un’Goro’s release.

Just one question. Why?

1 Like

They’ve answered this one: yes. The problem is, the timing is so open ended it could be between now and the heat death of the universe. This and the other items from the “year of the mammoth” promise, especially the ones that they had 100% control over (I don’t buy they surrendered control of their IP for one second), such as card backs etc show they just aren’t serious about keeping their word.

It’s like a kid telling you they’ll clean their room…they just didn’t say when.

That’s why we’re two years and counting on this, and all’s we’ve gotten is stonewalling, radio silence when their own timetable for bringing stuff back didn’t happen, and a bunch of innuendo about shadowy behind the scenes stuff.

…all for a two year old hero skin promotion. Keep in mind, this level of secrecy is generally reserved for next gen console releases and government level work. Because they generally come right out and say “can’t discuss this due to an NDA.” But having an NDA about NDAs…is reserved for the kind of stuff I mentioned above. Not two year old promotions that have been brought back multiple times in other locations.

There’s no more goodwill to be gained from the community by re-releasing her after all this time…

That’s not true. Finally keeping their word (even years later) would show that at least they at least have the decency to finally make good on their promises. And that they aren’t going to keep discriminating against most of their global playerbase, all their virtue signaling about being “inclusive” to the contrary.

i’ve played this game ever since the first expansion and i still love the game dearly. I mostly play priest and i was so hyped when i saw Tyrande was anounced, but then i found out i wouldn’t be able to get her due to the country I live in. I stayed hopefull that they would maybe put her in the shop after the twitch promotion so i didn’t fake my adress and stuff just to get her. but still even now after so many years there is no sign of her. I’m so dissapointed by this special promotion to get her. Blizz please just put her in the shop or put her in a bundle that costs $100 because i would pay for that but not for some troll priest.

I would be grateful if they release her even now, I don’t care how much time it need, but making her available again would show that they were making something behind the scene to solve the problems.

What the community HATE is their decision to IGNORE THIS THREAD ON PURPOSE AND GIVE US NO INFO.

Like someone else said, if there are true problems blocking her release TELL YOUR COMMUNITY, we will understand and patiently wait for the moment you solve the problem.

If you keep ignoring us Blizzard, what the community will think is that you don’t care about your paying customers but only about milking every single penny you can.

The company I once knew used to make memorials of passed away person as a tribute for they passion in YOUR games, and now you don’t even listen to a good group of person who only want to play their fav, hero because the only thing that matter is to mik 80€ from them.

More time passes and more I lose faith in the company I used to love so much, it makes me truly sad.
