It’s an item that we will be able to get this week as part of the Hearthstone Anniversary Celebration.
It’s description is:
Use: Place a Hearthstone Game Table and play a worthy opponent! (20 Min Cooldown)
I am REALLY, REALLY curious as to whether this will actually allow you to play Hearthstone from inside WoW, or if it is just a description.
This appears to be a completely separate item from the Hearthstone Board toy that already exists, which just summons a Hearthstone Board, plays the HS theme music, and then allows you to flip the table, on a 3 minute cooldown.
I remember Everquest 2 having full integration with Legends of Norrath, with playable game tables in all of the Major Capital Cities, where two players could sit down, and it would literally open a special version of the Legends of Norrath client, and allow you to play against one another directly, and then return you to your exact spot in EQ2 once you were finished. It was one of the coolest things I had experienced in a MMO at that point in time, and one of my favorite features in EQ2.
I’m very curious as to whether Blizzard has figured out how to make something that cool work in WoW.
Not well thought out that there is only one table and/or no cue. I enjoy this game very much and have been playing since just after Vanilla started. Sadly, I’m disappointed with this event already!
I have been seeing other tables pop up where the stools say "insert player name here"s minion, so I think the table might actually work for this event, at least in the circle near the primary table.
