Not really a patch, but it's an event nonetheless:
HEROES OF THE STORM BLACK FRIDAY SALE
Sale Details:
Time works a little differently in the Nexus, meaning Black Friday will be starting early and lasting a whole two weeks! From November 24 to December 8, the Heroes of the Storm shop will offer the following deals to players in all regions:
All Heroes, Mounts, and Skins will be on sale at a 50% discount
A new 360 Day Stimpack will be available at a deeply discounted price
A new Second Chance Bundle will be available with the following items:
Winter Veil Jaina Skin
Greatfather Winter Rehgar Skin
Reigndeer Mount
Nazeebra Mount
Lunar Tiger Mount

So mix up your mounts, snag some Skins, and grab a few new Heroes during our Black Friday sale!

A stimpack for essentially a full year is pretty crazy! And the fact that all heroes, mounts, and skins will be half-price is amazing

I'm very curious about how much the new Stim Pack will cost. I'm not interested in buying it, I just want to know how much they think it's worth to people.
And if Kael'thas had a good skin I'd get one for him but Stormpunk is just so bad =/
|
That seems very interesting :D
I have my eye on a few things. I usually only buy skins on sale that week so this is a good opportunity to do it all in one go lol
|
Was tempted by the WCS bundle, but this might an alternative...
|
oh fuck just spent cash on heroes and stuff
|
No reason not to own every support now...

I'm going to buy Monk, but I don't think you really need any supports besides Uther/Kharazim/Malfurion and maybe Tass/BW
great opportunity for a Thrall purchase though

I own Tass/BW/Malf/Uther/Rehgar, and I guess that means Ill only be buying Kharazim... I'd like Morales but shes not too great and only semi-fun.
Maybe Ill get KT/Monk/Morales/Leoric...
I look at my heroes owned and I already own most of the heroes I like to play...
EDIT: Tyrande! Of course, because people love being matched with semi-supports in QM.

I hate Night Elves.  Now if she was Vol'jin I'd main her all day erryday.

She is my favorite support. Even in hero league as solo works fine imo.

Sorry if I overlooked this but are these discounts only on cash, not gold?

Real money only.
|
this might be the first time ever that i'm spending real money on this game.
Definitely getting Sylvanas, Monk and Johanna. Maybe 1 more
|
I still don't want to put real money on heroes, I only have 13 heroes to go, so a few months and I'm good. Oh, and Cho Gall but he's free.
That being said I'll buy Shando Illidan as I've been waiting for him to be discounted since last time it was and I missed him. Already have 1 skin for Murky, 1 for Tyrande (Master pink Tyrande rocks), 1 for Raynor, 1 for Zagara and 2 for Nova so I don't need anything else for now.
Maybe 1 mount for my smurf account ? Tired of the horse and the lizard thingy.
|
I am going to spend entirely too much on skins and mounts (mostly for my gf)....no need for buying heroes as I own all but 5 and currently have close to 40k gold anyway.
|
Is this live on EU? I just logged in but i cant see anything, so just wondering if they are going after NA timezone
|
It should start at 23:30 CET according to this post (At least that is when this weeks sale ends, so the likely time the next one starts). Which is 2:30 PST
|
The Black Friday Sale is live!
Looks like the 360-day stimpack is $60 (the standard price will be $120 after the sale), which is pretty respectable if you're interested in +exp/gold. I might get it since I already have all the heroes and I think I have all the skins I want.
|
Why would you get it then?
|
In case I wanted to stock up a crapton of gold to afford future new heroes. Not sure if I'll do it though.

I was a little disappointed with the 120 normal price tag. Because the normal price for the month is 10 so if you were to buy 12 months we get 120. So you're really not receiving any benefit for paying up front. You may as well just pay for your 10 stim pack each month to make sure you use it.
That said the 50 percent off everything is obviously welcome. though 60 is still steep.
I thought the full year stim would be doubly efficient. Both from the increase in efficiency one would expect paying all that up front, two from the Black Friday discount.

I'm not sure that it worth it unless you really want a bunch of master skins and new heroes and play a lot every day. You could buy 6 new heroes for $60 and will probably make enough gold from quests and games to get another hand full if you are playing regularly enough to warrant a stim pack. If you want heroes that have already been released, buying them now at 50% off is even better for the $60.

This is probably true but remember 50 percent off so really you could buy 12 new heroes. Crazy.
That said its a lot more fun earn with gold. ..i think thats why people like stim packs despite not being very cost efficient.
|
So THIS is why I've had 4 games in a row with Abathur on both teams.
Explains it all!
|
Sure, but you are still going to be earning other heroes with gold in addition to whatever you bought for the $60. Now if it increased quest gold by 150% then I would consider it.

Or even an increase by 50% would be awesome... 450 gold instead of 300 over and over again *-*
|
The stimpack with a 37.5% increase is pretty close to the 50%. But its still only worth it if you
- like the XP for watever reason
- want gold for gold exclusive items (masterskin/ some mounts)
- play alot (9+ games a day; maybe less if you reach gold rewards you would not have reached without the bonus XP)
|
Wasn't going to spend any money on HotS, other than the two stimpacks I bought when I started out, but now I couldn;t resist. Bought the Pure Country ETC and Vampire Slayer Valla skins, because I think they're awesome. I wish Johanna and Kael'Thas had better skins though, they're my best and most played heroes.
|
Lot's of heroes have very mediocre alternative skins in fact. Ended buying Shan' do Illidan as planned, and Ranger Sylvanas (not planned).
Mecha Tassadar and Angelic Valla are highly considered but these are heroes I don't play much.
I wonder how much you can confuse people with a team of Tyrael + Angelic Valla + Betrayer Malfurion + Shan' do Illidan. The 5th can be abathur to really make things worse if you jump at Illidan thinking it was Malfurion.
