I finally got a key, but it won't let me login!

 

[IllumiNate]

So the packs we purchase now, will they be wiped after Beta? Or is everything we open now ours to keep?

 

[Paches]

I was just able to log in just now. I was getting the error before.

Edit: Scratch that, I am now getting a playful sprites error on launch.

 

[princemarth23]

Finally got my key..it's sort of surreal to me, really. Can't wait to finally try this game.

 

[dk_]

Grats to all the guys getting keys here.

Spoiler

weeps

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

I'm making mad gold off you noobs in arena. Even using horrible decks I'm constantly getting 8 and 9 wins.

 

[KuroNeeko]

Yeah, congratulations, you gais!

Here's a quick question for ya... how many of you are thinking about playing WoW again after playing / watching Hearthstone?

Seems like there's just enough atmophere / nostalgia surrounding the game to make me remember all the good times I had trolling the Barrens in cheetah form or sapping random Alliance in Duskwood back in Vanilla / BC.

Blizzard has said they dont want another wipe, so you should be safe to not lose any cards (for better or worse).

I was thinking of resubbing when I watched HS streams (mostly because of boredom), but then I received a key. Ironically HS saved me from my WoW itch

So I don't know if it's a matter of opponent skill, or a good deck, but here's the priest deck that I'm just rolling people with in constructed unranked:

 

[UNCMark]

Still closed for me! WTF.

Any newbies that just got NA keys able to get in and play? "Closed" when I try to open.

Open for me. Are you sure you're starting the beta executable and not the Hearthstone executable? One works, the other leads to the closed message.

unranked should tip you off. Not saying you have to be good to be a 3 star master in constructed, though you won't be playing against crappy starter decks and whatnot.

they are aware there are login issues, they are fixing it.

 

[Brick]

Grats to everyone who got in!

 

[kirblar]

Boy, this getting DC'd = game loss thing better not go live.

 

[KuroNeeko]

Boy, this getting DC'd = game loss thing better not go live.

I think DC = Loss is fair, especially if you're playing a ranked game.

Another viable option is to have a third (fourth) stat so you have Wins, Losses, Draws, and Disconnects shown. Otherwise, people are just going to disconnect mid-match to keep their records clean.

I mean, how hard is it to reconnect someone while the timer keeps ticking? Blizzard DC'd me, hence my annoyance.

Yeah, it's not a perfect system because it punishes people who are legitimately booted. There is probably another solution out there.

 

[The Lamonster]

So many DCs tonight...


great game tho

 

[Rokam]

Think I'm just going to wait till release, losing arena games due to client errors and random disconnects is about the most frustrating thing.

 

[Brofist]

So I don't know if it's a matter of opponent skill, or a good deck, but here's the priest deck that I'm just rolling people with in constructed unranked:

That's about the most generic Priest deck you could assemble, but its solid enough that you'd win a fair amount in unranked.

 

[Vee_One]

Another day no invite
I don't think I have ever managed to get into a Blizzard beta
Want to play this so badly

 

[squidyj]

There was a time I was in all the betas. I wish that time was this time.

I want a key

Blizzard giveth, and Blizzard not giveth.

Tis better to have loved and gg'd, then never have loved at all...

 

[UNCMark]

I'm addicted. The game is scary good, but I have to fight myself from putting a form of payment on my account. Too easy to buy decks of cards.

Have they said what will earn a beta tester the Hearthsteed yet?

 

[michaelius]

How fast do you get gold if you are not spending real life money ?

Is it somehow managable assuming 50%+ win ratio ?

 

[kirblar]

Um, you'll probably be able to do Arena every other day if you scrub out. You definitely get enough gold from the starter bonuses to get a decent amount of boosters.

 

[UNCMark]

I just keep doing the quests it gives me and I've gotten a few free packs already. I definitely feel like I'm at a disadvantage at times by not buying stronger cards, but I'm also having a lot of fun so at this point I don't mind.

Is there any word on when Deathknight and Monk will be added?

 

[Boken]

so if im doing quests I can only do arena once every 2nd day if I go 50%?

sounds bad man

 

[Xater]

That's basically what I am using, but I have more taunting minions, and both Gurubashi Berserkers. It's working until I can build up enough opened packs to make something better. People keep surrendering to me, so apparently it's annoying as shit.

Edit: I don't have to rely on the Berserkers, but it's fun as hell when I get them out and buff their health.

Yeah I am thinking about putting a Berserker in as well. I has another deck where I got one up to 19 attack.

 

[KKRT00]

Btw are servers [EU and NA] separated?

 

[Sandy Nipples]

I got a key two days ago, haven't had much time to play it, jamming the shit out of Dota 2 at the moment between work and chores. It seems nice and polished. I wonder how many cards there are, I know MTG has thousands.

legacy isnt the most popular format in mtg though, so having thousands isnt that important

Hearthstone Wiki says there are 469 cards.

For all the new beta players, I'd highly recommend to check this out, especially the achievements, which rewards some gold

[Xater]

Oh man I just got a gold card from leveling up but you can#t dust those because they are soulbound. That sucks, I was hoping for some easy dust.

Do you always get 3 daily quests each day ?

 

[Xater]

You get one every day. If you don't finish it in a day or more you can have up to 3 going.

Thanks for the info... though I can't even load the site right now. I will try my luck but I have been dissapointed so many times. Maybe this time though?

 

[Freki]

NP ;-)

Good luck guys!

Thanks - I figure there has to be a time when I get lucky as well

 

[Bizazedo]

I desperately want to build a good Warrior deck, but I just can't seem to get the balance right. 2 Fiery War Axes, 2 Arcanite, 2 Heroic Strikes, 1 Mortal Strike, 2 Cleaves, 2 Whirlwinds is probably too much haha .

It's even worse when I try Warrior in Arena.

 

[Megasoum]

Do EU keys work in NA?

 

[Lyng]

Man registering on that site seems like an impossible task haha

 

[Smokey Mcpot]

Do EU keys work in NA?

As far as I am aware, the key "codes" arent bound to a region

Unless this giveaway has some special treatment
