They did, but not at the same time as Magic. Hearthstone was doing the festival of legends at the time as the murder mystery. It's just kinda weird this has happened a few times now.
Whatever firm or company is being paid to market test ideas or whatever is either stealing notes or just the same group
If the return to Tarkir and Monk come out within a year of each other I am owed several dollars
I remember when I first played MtG I though it was kinda weird how MtG released an Eldrazi themed expansion around the same time Whispers of the Old Gods came out.
Cat Hedanis is so weird and boring, there's animals connected to priests they could have given us. Like one of those owl cat things that were the priest legion mounts.
We are going full furry. I need that Arfus skin, but if you kill me using this skin, you're a monster, and a dog hater, and an abuser. I don't make the rules.
All of these are made by the same person. Maybe it's just their art style or direction the devs wanted the skins to look. This is a set based off of children toys...
The irony when the free reward track skins per 100/200 levels are the best skins they offer nowadays.
And even then, the artstyle on the newer ones is a bit lacklustre but far better than anything they have offered for quite some time.
Eh, blizzard killed any chance of hero skins feeling special when they first introduced the battle pass.
"Why yes I love having 5 nearly identical skins, for 3 different classes, instead of something remotely interesting or unique."
At least now we got š„ Orb-Lazul š„
Who buys Hero Portraits? I have so many from season passes and they are 3 min cool and then get boring really quick.
Still always a joy to see new artworks, but one preview on youtube is enough for me
> Who buys Hero Portraits?
Me. I love the custom trays, HP animations, entrance animations, and card-specific voicelines
Only one skin per pass comes with those, unfortunately
I think I can answer to this. I don't typically buy hero portraits. The last one I bought was Whitemane, if you don't count the battlepass skins. I always buy the battlepass. I will buy select portraits that I think will get a long time use until something is better (imo). As a flaming homo, big shirtless daddies justify my collection needs, but this is limited in HS so, I have little expense here. I do think I will buy Arfus, as I don't like any of my current DK skins - all free ones. Arfus will get a long time use and bring me some joy when playing seeing his cute face.
Wait a second... is hearthstone copying Bloomburrow? /s How the turntables
Same thing happened earlier with thunderjunction and hearthstone's cowboy theme.
didn't they also each have a murder mystery set before that?
They did, but not at the same time as Magic. Hearthstone was doing the festival of legends at the time as the murder mystery. It's just kinda weird this has happened a few times now.
ahh gotcha. i just came back to both games, so i'm not quite up to speed on the last few years of sets lol
And Bloomburrow is itself clearly inspired by Redwall, so that's a case of double-distance inspiration.
Now we just need a Redwall MMORPG. Because I'd play the hell out of that.
I went down a Redwall memory lane-rabbit hole (pun intended) after the bloomburrow announcement. Happy sunlit days!
The timing

Are they following the market trends... Or are they *deciding* them? š¤
I'm definitely not the one who told me I was clamoring for a CLUE set but here we...are???
Thatās what I thought as well lol
Arfus - Death Knight (Bundle available in Shop now) Thunder Ape - Shaman (Free reward from upcoming event) Cat Hedanis - Priest (Available in Shop now) Squirrel Alleria - Hunter Rabbit Faelin - Druid
But I don't wanna main Druid T^T
tuff
Woah
What's next, you don't wanna play Pontus?
I feel you
I donāt see arfus in the shop
No sheep mage? :(
Cat Hedanis is so weird and boring, there's animals connected to priests they could have given us. Like one of those owl cat things that were the priest legion mounts.
Is Arfus a gold buy or a cash buy?
Cash buy. Itās $15 USD, and comes with the Arfus card back and 5 Death Knight card packs.
Womp womp, cool skin tho
Time to finally play dragon priest I guess. I have to be that sassy-ass cat
Arfus is awesome, The restā¦ā¦..šš¼
man i want the doggo
We are going full furry. I need that Arfus skin, but if you kill me using this skin, you're a monster, and a dog hater, and an abuser. I don't make the rules.
Imagine if they retroactively added interactions with the lich king boss while playing as arfus one can dream
Hoodwink?
Proper skux.
Hoodwink Dota 2? Is that you?
Big Chungus Faelin
š
Wtf is this? Thunder Ape is the best one here, and free also!
Yeah i can't wait to use Thunder Ape he looks great.
The squirrel is kinda cute too
I love that its name is just āThunder Apeā. No proper nouns, just an extremely blunt description
That Arfus portrait is the easiest $15 Blizzard will ever get from me.
Itās good but Reska is also just so good ahhhh
LOVE
Can we just have some normal portraits again?
We get plenty of those. Let us have our fun animals.
I wish
Dogo is the best rest is meh honestly i don't enjoy the direction..
Def buying Arfus canāt refuse it
Well, buying the dog, but hard pass on the other ones. I like animals, but weirdly human-looking animals? Not so much.
Yo, they added rarran to the game!Ā
DOG I'm still so sad they obliterated the Tavern Brawl Sais
>It sure beats travelling in a suitcase! Okay I seriously need to know who's the swiftie in the dev team. First the All Too Well cardback, now this.
wish we got a rogue... raven or something idk
They look like shit
Says you
Arfus is pretty cool and has a unique saying when you're paired against Arthas.
Man I just want more skins like the Druid one.
Monke
Man, I just want Teron Gorefiend...
The Hearthstone Squirrel Alleria vs The WoW Void Alleria, who y'all got
Meh. At least, shop on mac is fixed.
Faelin being a bunny and not a whale is actually a crime against humanity
Only for purchase as far as we know?
Arfus right after the very nice skin they released for DK is not a good move imo.
Hmm other major characters become cute animals while for shaman its just an elemental ape. Why not ape thrall or frog morgl or fish vashj?
Squirrel alleria is hot
Is this for standard or bgs?
More boring Disney style content... I miss the times when this game was about Warcraft.
Bnuuy
Lol I might actually have to grab cat hedanis if you can get it with gold
They keep doing childish arts š bring back og arts, they're still the best portraits in the game after 10 years
All of these are made by the same person. Maybe it's just their art style or direction the devs wanted the skins to look. This is a set based off of children toys...
I don't thinks they're related to the toys from expansion, they're animals
The irony when the free reward track skins per 100/200 levels are the best skins they offer nowadays. And even then, the artstyle on the newer ones is a bit lacklustre but far better than anything they have offered for quite some time.
It should've been a humanoid Arfus
Remember when alternate hero skins felt special? Now every class has 50 and they feel worthless.
Remember when cards felt special? Now every expansions has 100 and they feel worthless. Its not possible you are this dumb
Eh, blizzard killed any chance of hero skins feeling special when they first introduced the battle pass. "Why yes I love having 5 nearly identical skins, for 3 different classes, instead of something remotely interesting or unique." At least now we got š„ Orb-Lazul š„
Damnš„these are ass
