Hearthstone?! (Blizzard online card game) - Page 19 - Hearthstone -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Finally ran into trump in arena. Thought the game was pretty even until he did 19 damage in one turn with two lower damage minions on the board. It was pretty sick.

He's a sneaky bastard. Always seems like he's way behind but he just goes for board control until he gets enough mana and cards to destroy you.

Plus it helped that he had two eviscerates in his hand (one that was top decked).

Speaking of rogues, I played the coin into defias combo and my opponent instantly conceded. In arena. I backed up my chair and put both my hands up.

Saw coin+defias turn 1 followed by backstab+defias turn 2 when watching kripps stream recently. Rogue very balanced.

Like others have said, they ought to just make the coin a button you press instead of a card in your hand.

So I got access to an account with Hearthstone on it until Tuesday. Time to hearthstone. The next 36 hours will probably be the only time I play hearthstone.

I let my WoW subs lapse and haven't played in a few months. Does that affect my chance for a Hearthstone invite?

Ran into Kripp in Arena and beat him. 3 truesilvers, 3 hammers, and 2 blessings helped.

TL.DR - don't expect a beta invite for at least a month.

Back in March they said the game would be released "soon" and they specified "soon" as in what most people would consider soon not what Blizzard considers soon. Sounds like it it is not actually going to be anytime soon though.

I can't find the official Blizzard release but you can still find multiple quotes from sites like this:

Quote:

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft will launch on Windows and Mac, and it will be available later on iPad. As for a release date, the studio said it will launch "not Blizzard soon, but [in real life] soon." A beta — which players can sign up for at the game's official website — will be available this summer, and Blizzard plans to release the game in 2013.

That was what was announced on or around March 22nd. I did not take that to mean closed beta but open beta in the summer, and the game pretty much being released by now or very soon. Hopefully they still hit 2013.

they meant the closed beta.

For the whole release I think theyre aiming about december.

Maybe all of november for the open beta. that would be my guess from everything I've read.

Seems pretty ******ed to allow unlimited streaming of a game that's several months from release. Will just piss people off. Would make more sense to allow streaming when they're about 1 month from open beta if it's to create hype.
