Way to simultaneously miss the point and be hypocritical. /golfclap
What point did I miss? Blizzard is making an easily accessible, free-to-play game. They even said themselves that it's out of their comfort zone since Hearthstone won't be on as big of a scale as their other games. So, it's a smaller, more casual game. People were expecting a big announcement. They didn't get that, so everyone gets all rage-y and whiny.
If you don't like the game, then fine. Don't like it. That's cool.
If you do like the game, then cool. Go enjoy it.
I personally think the game looks like a ton of fun. And I'll be excited for it's release.

They're not, but the whole artstyle and appearance is. Ever watched the "what is hearthstone?" video?

They have amazing design ideas, an intuitive yet hardcore skill- and itemsystem and gritty, dark graphics. Yet it lacks in one regard: the gameplay is more than boring, clunky, spammy, it plain sucks. It's as antediluvian as Diablo 2, without the fluidity and "oomph"-factor.
I agree almost completely with you.
PoE is the complete opposite of D3, all of D3's weaknesses are fixed in PoE and all of D3's strengths(mainly engine-wise) are missing in PoE.
I don't know what to think about this Hearthstone, lol. It might be fun, has been quite a few years since I last played the greatest card game ~ MTG.

How is this super unfair.
People who spend real life money during Beta will not have that money vanish when the game gos live and instead will get the same about of stuff they bought. There is 0 advantage here over non-beta players.

this is going to make them a lot of money

You can like cardgames or not.
But a new blizzard game deserves a better OP on TL than the current one.

The part about reimbursing money spent in beta is 100% fair because it's equivalent to giving out free cards in beta, wiping everything as usual when beta ends, and spending the money that would have been spent in beta on the first day of launch.
What's unfair is a "special gift" (what this gift is hasn't been announced) that is in addition to getting your decks reimbursed.

saw this on reddit..a good point that I definitely realized once they announced WoW (tho it was probably more mmos than EQ, such as ultima online)
They're making the game they (as in Blizzard) want to play.
Warcraft 1/2/3 -> Playing D&D/Warhammer
WoW -> Playing Everquest
Starcraft -> Playing Warhammer 40k
WoW TCG -> Magic the Gathering
And now we have the online version.
The pattern here is that Blizzard makes games based on geek culture that inspires them. Say what you will about them "selling out", but most of the C-Level team at Blizzard could probably kick your ass at Magic the Gathering.

so getting something that is unknown is totaly unfair? when it could just aswell be something with no effect on the game at all?
Right
yeah
Super Unfair.

There will probably be a new OP just for discussing the game itself. This thread is indicative of how the community feels about the announcement, which is accurate. Many of us feel the exact same way as the OP- hugely disappointed.
I hope Riot or someone announces something interesting!

dont talk to him. he doesnt get it. he made one or more threads about blizzard being unfair because you get stuff cause you played hots beta.

We've been working on a little something, different from our other games, and we're pleased to invite you to be the first to see it. It's not a sequel, expansion, or that rumored next-gen MMO, but it's something we're excited for you to get your hands on.
Enough with the "disappointment". Blizzard has created "a little something" just like they said they would. OP should delete his complaints.
For a small f2p game, this could be fun. We don't know yet.

Yes. If it's so insignificant why doesn't everyone get it? Beta testers aren't special. This isn't going to be given exclusively to people who have specially given useful beta feedback or demonstrated amazing skill, it's been given to all beta testers who deserve nothing in general.

The intro video gave me a big April Fools vibe, not sure about this TCG thing...

Because not everyone helped them beta test the game.

I'm actually pretty excited for this, I might even be playing it.
I love TCG games, minus the "expensive" aspect of it :D

Think of this as another Rock and Roll racing. Just something minor compared to their other titles but quaint and fun.

Are you new to betas or something? There's always a bonus, why would you otherwise waste your time betatesting a game when your progress will get wiped out?
