Summary January 23 has now come and that means Blizzard games including: World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Diablo 3, and Overwatch (2) have been shut down in China. The shutdown shouldn't come as a surprise, as it was first announced in November 2022 when Blizzard and Chinese publisher NetEase were unable to reach a renewal agreement. The company’s services in China were suspended at midnight local time on Tuesday, marking the end of an era. Quotes My thoughts This is a really unfavorable scenario, as I know WoW and other Blizzard games are really popular with people all over the world. I also know that the Chinese gaming demographic is one of the largest, reaching 664 million in 2022. Millions of Chinese gamers are affected by this and who knows how long it will be before they gain access to their Blizzard games again. It's good to know that Blizzard is trying to figure out a solution and is already communicating with a prior Chinese publisher. Additionally, it's also good to hear that players are able to back up their history and saved progress while awaiting for another publisher. In the mean time, it will suck for Chinese gamers to have to be overly-patient while an agreement is reached between Blizzard and another publisher. Sadly, they will have to find another game to play in the mean time.

Can someone tell me how much free space do I need for Hearthstone? In App Store I see that it needs 3,2 GB. I have 6 GB. In the middle of installing process, I'm still getting "not enough space" notification.

Hello everyone I have a laptop with an Intel processor (i7-6500u) and an amd gpu (r5 m335). Today in the morning I installed the newest amd driver which is 17.7.2 for my gpu. Everything seemed fine, when i wanted to play some games later it seemed like i had no problema, i was playing a league of legends match, when suddenly the screen went black and a message appeared and said that the graphics manager was unabled to work, i was capable of hearing the backgroung noises so i decided to turn off the laptop and turn it back on, i launched the game again and everything seemed normal, then i moved to overwatch and i had no problem, but when i try to play hearthstone the screen keeps in black the whole until i switch to something else. Could anyone help me with some advice of what should i do? thanks for Reading and have a good day

for example, im plat in Overwatch. just wanted to get a scale for how good we are here

I have a simple pc and specs are: CPU: intel i3 4150 Motherboard: msi h81m-e33 RAM: g-skill 4gb GPU: intel 4400 Storage: INTEL SSD 120GB 540 PSU: COOLER MASTER GXII 450W I generally play games like stardew valley, undertale, but recently i am playing hearthstone and its very addicting game! so, will this game cause any problem to my pc? (as i do not have a gpu) btw the temperature remains between 45-55 degree celsius while playing the game.

just a thing i have notice seeing as i always monitor my framerate, i can sometimes not even push 60fps in heathstone with my GTX970 at 1603Mhz is it just that poorly optimized or what? thanks for any replies and any help, not that this is a problem just wondering...

Looking for HotS/ Heroes of the Storm/Battle NET's MOBA player Also looking for Hearthstone players and perhaps SC2 Ive been squandering around in HotS and none of my friends liked it they prefer LoL or DOTA 2 which i like too but doesnt play frequently. Im also looking for Hearthstone player to practice duels with as i am shitty at Hearthstone and because of my skills, havent played Hearthstone in a very long time. Im interested in Starcraft 2 Free To Play, you can play matches but not campaign or ladder matches. Someone to goof around with, Must be willing to have fun and see these games are not serious AT ALL. Because thats what games are for, Fun. Region: Americas, at least thats what BattleNET told me to play in. But i prefer Asia. Mic preferred, but not required. Just accompany me. Im lonely... And also have alot of patience because i suck at BattleNET games

The games that I managed to play: Forza 6 Overwatch Mirrors edge catalyst Tear away unfolded Hearthstone the Grand tournament expansion Favourite game: Overwatch New Xbox One controllers: $150 of controller goodness. Ford GT forza 6 controller: Halo Controller: The only real reason I took a photo of this one is because It had a really cool transparent display showing it. Pro controller Impressions: The controller felt very premium, because I was using it with forza 6 many of the features were pointless like the alternate trigger style, it practically halves the throw on the trigger. The D-pad felt a little strange, but yet again I didn't really use them much. The sticks felt godly, the metal shaft of the controller made the sticks feel super, no more plastic on plastic clicking action that makes controller sticks feel horrible. It also has a 3.5 mm jack I wasn't entirely sure what headphones they were using along side but I didn't really get a feel for the sound quality as it was really quiet, but I'm sure it's fine. They didn't have the paddles on the back of the controller sadly, I feel like you would need to set it all up yourself before hand if you were to use those. I obviously couldn't try the different trigger response curves. Bottom Line, don't buy one unless you have a lot of free cash. Forza 6: Forza 6 felt okay, my favourite part had to be when I drove an Audi around I think it was brands hatch in the rain. God driving in the rain is hard man. I've never felt aquaplaning like that in a game before, it puts the rain in GT5/6 to shame for sure. They are ones for testing things methodically turn 10 so they have 100 different friction coefficients for materials when in the dry and the wet, so every surface feels different. I spun a few times when I tried going through a puddle, damn you've got to avoid them otherwise you're gonna lose total control. I also tried the ford GT at the rio track, it has tires that actually move when you crash into them, that was the biggest improvement. As with all racing games you're gonna like racing certain cars around certain tracks, they had a wide selection but they didn't have the cars that I would most like to drive. The last one I tried was a Lamborghini Huracan at sebring at night, that felt really good. I'm not sure how it handles compared to something like forza 5, but from what I remembered of forza 5 it felt similar(just I hadn't played forza 5 recently that's all). New Ford GT and they also had triple screen set-ups with motion cockpits but the wait times for that were 2 hours so I didn't bother at all. Hearthstone: HOLY CRAP IT'S KRIPP! Hearthstone was awesome just because I got to meet kripp, and shook his legendary hand, I didn't think to "brofist" him because I wan't thinking, shame on me yeah I know. He was streaming at the time, you could tell he didn't want to be there somewhat, probably just because he was practically being a tourist attraction . Anyway super awesome guy glad that I got a chance to meet him. I played TGT, it was setup in such a way that you would play two classes: mage and paladin. Mage was super OP it seemed, from the two games that I played with my new found friend. Maxim super cool guy too btw. There were lots and lots of stations with players on, you played the person opposite you and you could talk to them through battlenet just like you would normally. The new insipre mechanic, which is where you use your hero power and you get a benefit from was quite cool, however I just think it would be too slow, the game would have to slow down considerably to use cards such as this: This isn't going to win you games against something like face hunter, however this next card could: I think I might just play this card for the art alone, I mean it's a freaking turtle and a walrus, has got to be the best art in the game. Using this card with cards such as antique heal bot 3/3 for 5 mana that heals for 8, and lay on hands, guardian of kings, seal of light, true sliver champion. You would just annoy the hell out of your opponent and that would be funny as hell. The secret effigy that was really awesome(replace a minon of the same cost with one which had just died), I think that hearthstone is best when you're thinking strategically about the probabilities of certain secrets and guess what it could be, play it wrong and it could make you lose the game, play it right and you seal the game. One last thing I want to talk about hearthstone wise the brand new mechanic jousting, the mechanic is simply put: you play a card with joust flavour text, then the game takes one card from each deck and compares their mana cost, person which has the higher mana cost wins if you win you get the benefit if you lose you don't get the benefit, however this is only with minions, the really interesting thing is that you could have a deck that's filled with early game spells to take board control and you make huge plays in the mid to late game with your higher costed minons which are a benefit to you. I could bore you all day with hearthstone but i shall move onto the next game. Overwatch The game has to be the funnest FPS I've played in a while, the controls feel solid, every character feels unique and every character has their own special abilities. I played reaper and bastion. Reaper was a stealthy character in which you had two abilities. Bastion was my favourite, just because of his Q ability where he turns into a tank. WOW! they've changed it, in the video it's a remote mine, it's nothing like that any more, you control a remote tank and you can wreak havoc firing bombs everywhere, in the short time that I had that ability I killed about 5 people. Most of the videos of the event that I took are still being processed, there was some really cool stuff there, some things most of you have already seen before like that transforming PC case that rotates the mobo tray 90o So this is where I just dump a load of photos and view them if you're interested. iRacing Setup was working.... not ... Tie Fighter made from Wood and spray painted, was freaking huge and super awesome. I wish I had time to play more games, my mirrors edge hands on got cut short sadly, also just an insight into the current development of the PC version, mouse and keyboard support doesn't work yet, or it does but not very well, but again it's alpha and they still have a long while till they release it, I think it's coming 23rd Feb 2016. I played about 3 minutes of the 15 minute demo(most of the first three minutes of the demo was cut scenes/un-interact-able in game cut-scenes), before hand we had to watch a video in what was practically a movie theatre and they made us wear headphones and no filming was allowed sadly, but most of the information that was said is already known to the public anyway, like the open world nature the story behind the game. They had awesome keyboards G110+ with custom mirrors edge logos on all of them, so perhaps their going to release some peripherals for the release of the game? However it could just be normal G110+ keyboards with stickers on them, it was hard to tell. The hardware they had there was insane, I'm pretty sure there were a lot of (ASUS monitors) g-sync and 3d vision monitors at many stations including blizzard and EA. There were mechanical keyboard everywhere, even at hearthstone, razer deathadders for overwatch, never used that mouse before but I might get one as it's so damn comfortable. Anyway I really can't be bothered doing any more about gamescom, I had a blast, I'm definitely going to go next year, awesome time, awesome games and awesome people. If you have any specific questions about the games I played just ask below.

I just pre order the 50 card pack and now i can't wait until they allow them to be open.Are there alot of hearthstone player in ltt ? And if you play hearthstone what are your though on the reaveal cards so far ? I'm liking the new expansion since they are pushing the game toward a slower meta which i'm super happy for since gvg give alot of good card for aggro deck. The first two week of gvg for me was super boring since the only 2 class being played was mage (mech mage) and hunter(especially the undertaker aggro hunter before they got nerf).I'm a ok-ish hearthstone player the highest i ever got in rank play was rank 4 and i have only gotten 12 wins arena twice but i would love to play with you guys when the new expansion roll out. My battle.net number is #1487 i play on the americas sever and my in game name is Jamesfox. My favorite cards so far are Justicar Trueheart and Eadric the pure.

Our friends at Intel will be at BlizzCon 2014, and they have some pretty cool stuff going on. Their booth is located near the Hearthstone Stage, and they are showcasing Haswell-E based gaming rigs and other systems, and some two-in-one systems which will be showcasing touch-based Hearthstone - they are actually the only booth at BlizzCon which will have touch Hearthstone available to play. In addition, there will be some Twitch streamers playing live at the booth, and a green screen photo app where attendees can take pictures. But what if you can't attend BlizzCon this year? Don't fret, there is something for you to enjoy as well. Intel has partnered up with Newegg to provide you guys with three awesome deals: $200 off an ASUS ROG Gaming Laptop (newegg.com) with the promo code: INTBLIZC2G $100 off a Lenovo Y50 4K Gaming Laptop (newegg.com) with the promo code: INTBLIZC1G $200 off a Lenovo Horizon 2 27” AIO with the promo code: INTBLIZC2A These deals are available from now until December 31, 2014, so be sure to check them out!

I heard Linus say the next game he'd like to see Twitch play is Hearthstone. I just recently got this concept working. So here you are, Linus! http://www.twitch.tv/twitchvshearthstone

I own a teamspeak and am looking for more hearthstone players in particular to join and play. We currently have a fairly low community around 7 players in the game ranging from rank 10 early beta to rank 25 new to the game. All our welcome and are not restricted to Hearthstone we play all games and are always looking for new faces. Kundrat.teamspeak3.com Rezi#1411

Hi, so I just bought 7 packs. Got no legendaries, bought 7 more, no legendaries, bough 15 more, no legendaries. My friends keep telling me there is a curve. A curve as in, the more packs that I open without a legendary the higher my chances are the next pack will have a legendary. They are super sure of this and I am not, but I trusted them and bought 7 more packs. I AM NOT GETTING ANYTHING GOOD. I spent 50 bucks and got no legendaries plus 500 dust. My question: Is there a curve? Also, the average is 1 legendary per 20 packs (5%).

Does anyone in this forum play Hearthstone beta? I was going to ask someone to give me a free beta key, but then I saw that people are selling them for 100$ on ebay I mean like C'MON!? Who the hell sells beta keys for that much?

Since my group of friends isn't exactly the hardcore gamer kind of group (we do play AOE2 though) i decided i had to make new friends who play more different games! I currently have 2 friends on hearthstone and this is ofcourse far to little. Feel free to add me on steam/hearthstone... BattleTag: HappyFeet #24176 SteamID: pieterdewolf93 Grts Pieter

So i might get a tablet preferably with a keyboard or a small laptop? What I had in mind is: Tablet with windows 8 on it wich I'll download classic shell on to make it similar to previous windows os with the start bar etc. Optional ability to connect a keyboard to it for faster typing. I'd like it to have the ability to stand up on its own so I can use it like a laptop screen with my keyboard connected to it. I want to use it for notes, webbrowsing, hearthstone, movies, play around on open WiFi connections (do the stuff a laptop could on a WiFi net basically) and simple games. Can I acces my steam games on a tablet and play simple indie games? EDIT: I'd like to be eligable to compile simple programs on it ( i'd like to learn more about programming ) THE CHEAPER THE BETTER :-D I have no experience with tablets at all that's why I came here for advice on what to get. Thanks in forehand for your advice, thoughts and ideas
