Nice, so you can't purchase the non-Golden mini-sets with Google Play (and I'd assume App Store) credit since it's Fuckyoustones or Old & Busted Gold only now. Oh nice, you can't even purchase the non-Golden mini-set directly from their store anymore. It literally outlines in gold "Use Runestones or Gold to buy the Normal Mini-Set in-game!" (and yes, I'm aware that - at the very least - they didn't make the mini-set cost some odd cost of Fuckyoustones...this time) BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Sep 27, 2022 |

If for whatever reason you wanted to buy something in Hearthstone, there's a PayPal promo active through Google Play at present: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/google-play-2022 Only 100,000 redemptions, US only. Hope everyone's had decent luck accruing Play Points for money off expansions. I've found that once you hit ~$30 saved, surveys start coming more infrequently through Opinion Rewards. Another thing to keep in mind is - if you've ever paid for anything on/through Google Play (with PayPal) prior to this, no for you.

Sandwolf posted:very hosed up if they're just gonna let people lucky enough to open the packs early a bunch of legendaries wtf It's not like Signature cards can be dusted, so they're actually worth LESS than standard or golden legendaries. It's a stupidly brilliant and evil move by Blizzard, making people desire something that has less utility and flexibility. And, of course, I opened my packs late and out of the four Signature legendaries I got, Grand Magister Rommath and Blood Matriarch Liadrin were two of them, so I got doubly-hosed because GMR and BML are Season Pass and "Caught 'Em All" Diamond legendaries that also can't be loving dusted.

victorious posted:I got a Signature Rommath in a pack and then collected Diamond Rommath from the reward track but was not given the option to re-roll either, sounds like this is happening to multiple people on Reddit too. Other re-rolls are happening properly though, weird. Yeah, I not only got Rommath but Liadrin as well. Diamond and Signature cards are a ripoff as they're a premium element that have less utility and flexibility than Standard and Golden cards.

Just a reminder - for those who took my advice on the Google Play points from the last thread, don't redeem your 12/30 weekly reward until 1/1 so the points count towards your *next year's* total. They don't do you any good for next year if you claim them in 2022.

Strawberry Panda posted:Shout out to the dude who told me about the Google Opinion surveys. Love banking Google Play points and Gold for future sets. Remember, don't claim your last weekly bonus until after 1/1 so whatever points you get credit towards next year's status. Also, periodically keep a watch on the promotions tab since every so often there's a "load this app for 24h and get five points" promo, and they usually put ~3-5 up for an easy 15-25 points every month or so. They put them at the very bottom of the page, and make note of when you installed them because if you uninstall them before 24h, they'll remove them. You never have to open the app, just download it.

Since it's a new year, I feel the need to type up a new effortpost on how to spend less on this loving game courtesy of Google. What you will need: 1. A Smartphone (Android or iPhone doesn't matter) 2. Access to *some* kind of Android device that can access the Play Store *and* preferably run Hearthstone (at least load it to the point of being able to navigate the menu/shop) 3. The Google Opinion Rewards app (available for Android and iPhone) Step 1: Turn on Location Services on your phone. In order to earn credit, you have to let multinational conglomerates spy on where you've been. If that's a bridge too far for you, skip down to Step #3. Step 2: Install Google Opinion Rewards. It's going to ask you some basic demographic information, like age and gender and languages spoken. Not that you should ever *lie* to a multinational conglomerate, but evidently claiming to be a woman will get you more surveys. Be sure you can also *speak* the languages you claim you're fluent in, because the surveys will occasionally test your proficiency with "what word doesn't belong in this group" types of tests. What to expect: The surveys you will get will be tied to locations you've visited, or locations you might've just been close enough to that the app *thinks* you visited them. Occasionally it'll "test" you and throw five locations you were never even close to or don't even exist. If you bite on these, you risk being paid less or ultimately locked out of getting further surveys. Answering honestly will usually net you around ten to fifteen cents. Trust me, it adds up. The location surveys (that you complete) will also ask you to take a picture of any receipt(s) you got, so get into a habit of saving those as that can usually net you an extra 20-30 cents in exchange for giving Google more demographic data about you. You'll also occasionally get surveys about whether you'd be interested in a specific app. Try to answer something other than "3 out of 5" because it seems that earns you a consistent ten cents because it's indecisive. You'll also be queried about poo poo you might've browsed for, and these occasionally will have "fill in" sections. These are the "money" surveys and pretty consistently give fifty cents or more. You might be asking why you should care about ten-fifty cents, but it does add up. Over the course of a Hearthstone expansion release schedule, you can accrue ~$20-40 in Google Play credit, which is a healthy chunk out of an expansion pack. Now I'm going to tell you how you can save even more. Step 3: Google Play Points. These are another way to stack savings. This is unfortunately where you need an Android device, again, one that preferably can at least load its way into the Hearthstone menu and navigate it without bursting into flames. There are four levels of "status" with Google Play: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Once you get to Silver (at 100 points) you start earning weekly "awards" every Friday which can be "up to" 100 points. It's immaterial because hitting Gold (at 600 points) should be piss easy by March/April (when the next expansion should drop) if you're diligent. Gold should be your primary goal, as once you hit it, you're earning 20% more points per purchase (which, granted, isn't much given $10 would net you 12 points instead of 10 on Bronze and 11 on Silver). Given that the year JUST started, it's not out of the realm of possibility to get Platinum before the end of the year just through Opinion Rewards and Hearthstone purchases, but I've done it before. The hardest part about these is just that, being diligent and patient. If you're not ultra-competitive, *don't* buy expansions and mini-sets as soon as you can. Why? Because every so often, usually once a month (and usually at the end of the month), Google Play will drop point modifiers for purchases, anywhere from 2-5x. Which means the upcoming $19.99 mini-set we all know is coming would net you anywhere from 40-100 points in a single purchase. They'll also have point multipliers on books every so often, so if you're a prolific reader, maybe buy during those bonuses. Every 100 points is redeemable for $1 in Play Credit. And it's pretty easy to find yourself with 1000 points to blow on an extra off a Hearthstone expansion. There are also occasionally "free points" in the form of installing an app on your device for 24h, and you find these at the very bottom of the "Special Earn Rates" list. They're serious about the full 24h, though - you never have to actually *open* the app, just keep it installed for 24h, and you get your free points. Every so often they'll drop *five* of these at once. Between Google Opinion Rewards and only buying poo poo just for Hearthstone during point bonuses, I'm able to save up ~$50-60 in Play Credit between expansions. NOTE: Every so often you'll see a "quest" with four steps that will promise a ~reward~ of "at least 100 points." Unless you're already planning on buying something, don't do it. I've done two of them now and the "reward" was a measly 100 points, which really sucks since you have to SPEND at least 100 points to *get* 100 points. You'll also occasionally get a "special" where if you spend $X usually two times, they'll give you bonuses, usually of a few hundred points. Again, it's your choice if you want to do that. Also, the Opinion Rewards app *does* work outside of North America, I just don't know how lucrative it'd be. Every new update to it mentions new countries being added, but even then, you should still get the "browsing" and "rate this app" surveys. Again, it adds up, and even if you can only save up $10-20 (in your country's currency), it's not *your* money you're spending. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Jan 7, 2023 |

I know they were moved to the Legacy set, but I owned them before that happened, and now I don't.

goferchan posted:That said I assumed there would be some kind of deal at least equivalent to the preorder bundles for the Cavern set but it doesn't seem like it. Don't know if I'll dip in, feels like it would have been more enticing as a mini set or something instead I was able to complete the set with just the new "Wild Bundle" with 25 packs and two random legendaries and dusting all my commons and rares from Uldum. So it really only cost me $19.99, like a mini set. I definitely bought a Wild pack with gold first before I changed buying the bundle, though - got Al-Akir in that pack, so I figured I didn't need to buy the specific expansion packs. It's really lovely that they didn't even bother to put in a collection reward unlock for completion of their "first" Wild expansion.

EDIT: Apparently these offers are random, but check anyway as any money off is helpful. Those on Android, make sure to check your Notifications on the Play Store, there's a $4 off $19.01+ offer that expires 11/17 on any game or app. It makes it seem/sound like it's only valid on some bubble game, but when you look at the offer, it's on anything $19.01 and higher. The catch is that it's not passive - you have to claim the offer before you can use it. Four bucks is four bucks, especially going into a new expansion. Bisse posted:What gets me is the 5/5 stats.

Whizbang was worth the Golden upgrade. Used him to polish off some early rewards to earn new packs before opening my bundled ones. This is the first expansion where I was actually getting duplicate Legendaries with 44 packs left out of 205 (195 Standard/10 Golden) total. I also managed to get one Signature Legendary (Pipsi Painthoof) and two Golden Legendaries from the Golden packs (Game Master Nemsy & Puzzlemaster Khadgar). I've learned my lesson about not getting the Level 2 reward as prior pack openings have loved to give me the Golden version of the Season Pass Diamond Legendary. I avoided that this time with Whizbang.
