Heroes of the Storm

[Mugsy]

Yeah, this week's Brawl is quite good. Loved the two games I played yesterday.

And yeah, we need more support characters. This one will bring it on par with the number of specialists.

[Mugsy]

WTF?

I got two dailies today! 600g and 800g ones!

[boars]

Garrosh looks like he'll be fun, get the fun of diablo gate throws much easier and saving allies to boot.

[Mugsy]

Hmmm, another Warcraft hero. I suppose it was their turn again.

Sitting on 315k gold atm... should probably spend some of it.

[Mugsy]

Haven't been doing brawls lately... they just bore me now and I got other things I wanna do with my gaming time. Still farming gold though... 328k atm.

[Mugsy]

Stukov is in the free rotation this week so I decided to open up lootboxes till I got a stimpack and level him up to 5... I think I've found a new healer that's to my liking!

[Mugsy]

Well this is one way to announce a new hero...

[linxus]

Niiice.

[Mugsy]

It does look like the heroes on that leaked list are being released one by one. The next few should be interesting to add to the roster...



Simply put, I'm gonna keep farming gold so that I can get the number of heroes on this list. Could do with another Mega Bundle though

[Mugsy]

Ugh! He's another Assassin.

[boars]

Haha yup.

Also I agree, Stukov is quite fun to play

[Mugsy]

Season 3 for 2017 has started... another damn horse mount. Think I might skip this one unless I have a boring arvo where I don't mind queuing for 10 games.

[Mugsy]

Well, well...

[kharis]

junkrat!!

[Mugsy]

junkrat!!

Looks like Ana will be first to be released which is disappointing...



Junkrat better be a specialist. They need an Overwatch specialist of some sort and I'm sick of all the bloody assassins they keep releasing.

It's also time for a price drop too on many heroes. Just look at all the 10k gold assassins...

[boars]

I think I have 3 heroes I haven't bought yet, they've been dropping from 15k to 10k much faster than they used to.

Not looking forward to either hero, other than levelling them to 5 for more gold anyway

[Mugsy]

I believe Rarrosh is still in the free rotation till tomorrow night so if you wanna get him up to lvl5, there's an opportunity. I didn't have it in me to unlock a stimpack via loot boxes and play through 8 or so games with Garrosh this week. Abathur is still raking in the mulah for me. Currently sitting on 355k-ish gold. Still gonna wait for the next nexus challenge (hopefully with more mega bundles) before getting all the heroes.

[linxus]

Ana is out. No price drops on heroes though. Spent gold and shards on getting Ana and one of the Volskaya(?) themed skins for Varian.

[Mugsy]

New event too...

New Special Event: Pachimari Mania

Open Loot Boxes and be the first team to find the Golden Pachimari!
At the beginning of a match, Loot Boxes will spawn around your starting area. Open as many as you can, and try to find the legendary Golden Pachimari!
Opening a Loot Box will grant you a movement speed boost, enabling you to open even more boxes.
The player to open the most Loot Boxes on each team will be announced when the event ends, so be sure to always try your best!
The first team to find the Golden Pachimari will win the event and earn credit toward their Pachimari Mania quest progress!
Quests and Rewards
Pachimari Mania is a four-part quest chain. All quests must be completed in order, and only one quest will be active at a time.
Part 1: Finding 2 Golden Pachimaris will unlock the Pachimari Portrait
Part 2: Finding 5 Golden Pachimaris will unlock the Golden Pachimari spray
Part 3: Find 8 Golden Pachimaris to earn a Pachimari-themed Banner
Part 4: Find 10 Golden Pachimaris to earn a set of Pachimari in-game Emojis
Find Golden Pachimaris to earn your rewards until the event ends on October 17 PDT!


I think I'm just gonna do this gradually... got gaming burnout.

[boars]

Not very exciting rewards for doing the mini quest thing, that isn't any different then normal I guess. :\

[Mugsy]

Yeah, the rewards, are like the previous event and both suck.

Incidentally, I think the last patch must have changed around the way daily quests are given out as I'm now getting ones for Assassins and Support... neither of which I've played in weeks (I just use Abathur as you know). Seems my days of easy gold farming may be coming to an end. I'll wait for the next Nexus Challenge pack and then buy the remaining heroes I'm missing. Hopefully a few of the 10k heroes will drop in price too.

[Mugsy]

Haven't played the game since they messed up my dailies but I'll still be getting upcoming stuff. Junkrat seems to be coming along well...

[Mugsy]

Ah, hell... another assassin...

[linxus]

Was hoping for an Overwatch roster specialist - but ah well .

EDIT - after watching the spotlight video - assassin or not - he looks like fun - and could have some good strategy - such as knocking people behind enemy walls - ala Garrosh. That and the rocket ultimate looks awesome.

[Mugsy]

Really there's bugger all info in that trailer. You'll need to read the blog post
