Got the Amazon deal, preordered the packs and got 1000 coins back. Nice. Might save them for launch but since I'm saving up gold and I have over 10,000 dust, I might just open random packs for fun. lol

Edit: Never mind. Will use it all on Arena runs for more gold.

Does anyone know of a good android emulator to use for this kind of thing? I have a basic Kindle Fire, and Hearthstone runs like shit on it, but it used to be enough to be able to get into the shop and spend coins. Right now I've spent about an hour and a half on the phone with Amazon and now Blizzard trying to get things figured out as I currently can't complete any purchases in Hearthstone on my old-ass Kindle. I tried emulating Android through DuOS, but it won't let me log in to my Amazon account from within the emulator for some reason, so I was wondering if anyone had any good experiences with something else.

I use VMware Player. There is a free version of that. Also VirtualBox should work for you. There are tutorials on x86android.org or whatever the site is.

Genymotion is what I'm using.

 

[Dahbomb]

Have we already discussed the synergy with Majordomo and these hero power buffs? You could feasibly fire off 10 Rag hero powers on a single turn with coldarra Drake and maiden of the lake. Could be fun to try out.

Yea good luck trying to pull that off.

 

[Parshias7]

Yea good luck trying to pull that off.

I look forward to the Trolden video.

 

[johnsmith]

Yea good luck trying to pull that off.

Can't wait for it to happen against Reynad. Probably with the help of unstable portal or some other extreme rng.

 

[crazygambit]

Genymotion is what I'm using.

I used that too, to get the 4 packs and card back promotion. Just know it doesn't work on Windows 8. It really fucked me up, before I realized I had another Win7 laptop around.

Did you turn on intel vision/amd equivelant in bios that is why it didn't work for me at first.

 

[Skux]

Funny that the first good cards we see since the reveal have nothing to do with Inspire lol

These are gonna be awesome in aggro Paladin, Priest, and absolutely ridiculous in Flamewaker Mage.

 

[Parshias7]

Is there anyone I can watch for the spectate quest? I'm Parshias#1599 on NA server.

 

[ZealousD]

Probably not Flamewaker Mage. Mage doesn't have buff cards except for spare parts, really.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

I don't see the 2 new 3 drop legendary cards being used in tempo mage. They don't have a single targeted class spell buff so why would they run this card? For spare parts only? I seriously doubt they'll free up a slot for such a conditional usage imo, assuming they even have the space.

 

[Haunted]

Just logged in to finish my Spellmaster daily.

See the new Unstable Portal brawl.

 

[crazygambit]

Did you turn on intel vision/amd equivelant in bios that is why it didn't work for me at first.

I couldn't figure it out. After it locked installing a second time I gave up and went to the Win7 machine.

So did you get it to work there?

 

[CoolOff]

Golden Mage got. 3 down, 6 to go.

Closest now is Priest with 296/500. ;_;

 

[Rockyrock]

these random brawls are pretty horrendous IMO.

only good one was the summoner one.

 

[Majine]

Trump is going to show a new card on his stream, at 5 PM Pacific.

 

[CoolOff]

Rip EU ;_;

It's probably shit.

 

[crazygambit]

So did you get it to work there?

Yes, it was pretty easy, worked like a charm.

 

[toddhunter]

It works fine on windows 8

Dat streamer privelege.

 

[Rapstah]

It'd be funny if the exclusive Trump card is a bad card.

 

[CoolOff]

It's probably full of value i.e. Good Enough for Arena™.

 

[Yoshichan]

Two things,

1: NEW OT HYPE!

2: Same ol' fucking Tavern Brawl, LAWL!

 

[Majine]

2: Same ol' fucking Tavern Brawl, LAWL!

They fucked up. Update your client.

 

[Santiako]

What do you guys think the 2/4 1 mana legendary's drawback is going to be? It has to be huge for that cost.

 

[G.ZZZ]

Seems a defensive card.

Guess game

Shield Bearer 3
Deathrattle: a random minion u control gain taunt
3/4

 

[Magnus]

Blizzard is nailing the drip reveals on these new cards. Keeping hype UP. I really appreciate that they're all funneling nicely into this GAF thread. Haha. I suppose there's Hearthpwn's page, too.

Also, XE says:

49.99 USD = 64.7454 CAD

So the $57.99 on the CDN app store for pre-ordering TGT seems like a discount all of a sudden....lol

 

[Yoshichan]

For someone who did Nef vs Rag today, do we get both pack rewards?

 

[G.ZZZ]

Can't play minions seems reasonable.

 

[Santiako]

Nope

 

[Magnus]

I don't understand this.

Isn't the inspire ability on that card a pro, in that you can use it to trade for two low health minions, return it to your hand, and get it out fresh again a turn later?

I get that hero powers often help wipe a Magma Rager out fast, but returning the Coliseum Manager to one's hand still might be a pro if it's taken some damage or something.

 

[Haunted]

New legendaries revealed

what the fuck are they wearing

I thought Blizzard wanted to move away from the whole women = sluts thing they got called out on in World of Warcraft.

 

[Haly]

Guess they were too lazy to redo these designs.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

what the fuck are they wearing

They're Val'kyr. Pretty much Valkryies. They are more ethereal in game though.

 

[Fersis]

Dat streamer privelege.

Whitelisted Illuminati Trump

 

[Ashodin]

Eydis is kinda ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[JesseZao]

Maybe the 1 mana legendary drawback is:
Never in opening hand.

 

[Professor Lich]

what the fuck are they wearing

I thought Blizzard wanted to move away from the whole women = sluts thing they got called out on in World of Warcraft.

I guess they figure the while ghost thing would stop people from getting turned on.

Granted, it's the poses that they're in really. But hey, at least it's not Silver Hand Regent!

 

[Santiako]

Maybe the 1 mana legendary drawback is:
Never in opening hand.

That'd be an interesting design. I'm thinking it will be something that makes it unplayable like the next minion of your opponent costs 0 or something like that.

 

[ZealousD]

Eydis is kinda ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Eydis is better versus aggro because you can hit two targets. You can possibly pop a Shredder then kill what comes out. She's faster than Fjola.

Fjola better against control because it has greater single target damage and they can't ping shields as easily.

 

[Ashodin]

I was talking about the art but ok

 

[Cat Party]

Yea good luck trying to pull that off.

Worth trying out, though.

 

[ZealousD]

I get that hero powers often help wipe a Magma Rager out fast, but returning the Coliseum Manager to one's hand still might be a pro if it's taken some damage or something.

I think the joke is that the comic author thinks the card is worse than Magma Rager, so Magma Rager is happy there's a card worse than him.

Basically the author under estimates a vanilla 2/5 and doesn't account for the few cases where the text is a pro.

 

[Insaniac]

I love brawl man. Mage plays Deathwing on me, and I think I'm screwed. Next unstable portal I get Deathwing.

"I'm sorry"

 

[Haunted]

Yeah these RNG brawls have merit.

A lot of fun cards you usually don't see because they're not viable, levelling the playing field between beginners and people with full collections... it's good stuff, even if RNGesus hasn't really been kind to me so far. Goddamn Mage just Portal'd out an Antonidas.

I mean, c'mon.

 

[Dahbomb]

Yeah that card is nowhere near as bad as Magma Rider. The author is missing out on the potential of the card.

The only potential that Magma Rider has is if Blizzard puts my concept of Dankgoblin into the game which is like a reverse Hobgoblin that buffs 1 health minion by +1/+3.

 

[Ashodin]

FUCKEN BRAWL DUDES

Druid vs Rogue

He gets out goddamn Patron

In Hand: Moonfire. NOPE
