Hearthstone Tavern Coming to WoW?
posted
2017/02/23 at 9:31 AM
by
perculia
It's been a
big week for Hearthstone
with Year of the Mammoth news, and now 7.2 PTR data points to Hearthstone-themed fun in Warcraft as well. The 7.2 PTR has added models for Alliance and Horde game boards, a Hearthstone pet, and game cards.
We've frequently seen Hearthstone game boards used as decorations in WoW cities like Dalaran and Tanaan, but all of these models suggest Blizzard is taking things to the next level and adding a special Hearthstone-themed area. We've also datamined a new zone called
Hearthstone Tavern
.
Could this be part of a revamped
Kirin Tor Tavern Crawl
? A larger promotion like "For Azeroth" for the
Primal Flamesaber
? A way to celebrate Year of the Mammoth? We'll update this post if we hear official details.

Blizzard posted a blog about upcoming celebrations of 20 years of Diablo across their franchises, including World of Warcraft. We already have some datamined items that seem to be related to a Diablo event in WoW, and there has been some speculation that the Treasure Goblins we saw during Legion's beta test will possibly be back!

Mean Streets of Gadgetzan: Comparing Gadgetzan in Warcraft and Hearthstone

Mean Streets of Gadgetzan
, Hearthstone's latest expansion, launched on Thursday, December 1st! As Gadgetzan was originally a city in WoW, we thought it would be interesting to compare both versions of the city.
Gadgetzan in Hearthstone is much more of a cosmopolitan city than in WoW; it would be fun to see some of the Hearthstone factions make their way to WoW. Perhaps the leaders of each faction could each be a boss!
For info about Mean Streets of Gadgetzan, check out our guides on

Whispers of the Old Gods
is Hearthstone’s latest expansion, going live today, April 26th. As the expansion is a playful interpretation of Old Gods lore from Warcraft, we thought it would be fun to highlight how the cards are related to WoW.
C'Thun, Yogg-Saron, Y'shaarj, and N'Zoth are new legendary cards and they are accompanied by WoW bosses from
Temple of Ahn'Qiraj
, members of the
The Klaxxi
, and members of the Twilight Hammer like
Cho'gall
.

BlizzCon 2015 - Hearthstone World Championship
posted

Skiffington
The 2015 Hearthstone World Championships are coming to a conclusion and a new World Champion will be crowned today! The finals were set to start at 2:00 PM PST but with how close the two series have been today, we're a good bit behind schedule. While you wait, here's our recap of the action at BlizzCon thus far!
Quarterfinals
Thijs vs. Kranich
Thijs continued his hot streak, properly picking his decks as he and Kranich traded match after match. The only player in this year’s Championship that also competed at BlizzCon last year, Kranich went down as his Midrange Hunter failed to find its footing. This was particularly surprising because Thijs was quick to express his intense desire to avoid playing his Patron Warrior into a Midrange Hunter.
Ostkaka vs. Pinpingho
Pinpingho, the Shaman himself from Taiwan couldn’t find a win with his Midrange Druid in the first two matches and as a result found himself behind from the start. Luckily his Hybrid Hunter was quick enough to beat Ostkaka’s Oil Rogue, but the same couldn’t be said for his staple Shaman deck.
DieMeng vs. Kno
The only other Shaman player in the tournament, China’s DieMeng, found himself hamstrung by the Midrange decks of Kno. Though he did manage to win the Secret Paladin vs. Midrange Paladin matchup, he struggled to find wins with his Face Hunter deck that just couldn’t get going thanks to Kno’s board clears and control.
Zoro vs. Hotform
The days matches concluded with North America’s lone remaining hope, Hotform, taking on Zoro. The former took a quick win as Zoro’s Secret Paladin struggled to find the right draws. However, Zoro rebounded with two great matches that just barely remained in his favor throughout, leaving Hotform with little choice but to trade board control for face damage. Much like our other Chinese player, Zoro just couldn’t close out a win with his Face Hunter.

The panel will be starting shortly.
10:00
Should be starting any time now.
10:06
Mike Donais, Senior Game Designer takes the stage.
10:07
First design goal of Tavern Brawls was to be weekly, to give players more content to chew through between expansions/adventures.
10:10
Next goal was variety, to try new things and improve them over time.
10:11
Donais is now breaking down the three different types of Brawls: build your own deck, pick a class, and prebuilt.
10:12
Most of this information has been talked about before, players that like to innovate like to build decks, pick a class is very replayable since it's random, and premade decks give you access to cards you may not own.
10:15
Co-op Tavern Brawl now being talked about. It didn't make sense for Blizzard to completely rearrange the UI and players to have them both on one side of the field.

Many of you are probably playing the Grand Tournament this week in Hearthstone, so we're taking a closer look at the Argent Tournament which inspired all of the new cards. A few weeks ago, we covered the
Argent Tournament Rewards
, but this post primarily looks at the specific references to each card--the
Trial of the Crusader
raid, jousting, dailies, and more.
If you're not playing Hearthstone, this can be a fun nostalgia trip--or perhaps you'll learn something new if you've started playing after Wrath of the Lich King!
To learn more about the Grand Tournament, check out our
coverage on Hearthhead
. Also be sure to check out the new

on sale in the Blizzard Shop, and use WOWHEAD10 for a 10% discount.
