Title: Hearthstone beta key anyone?
Post by: krele on December 08, 2013, 06:05:58 PM
I've been waiting for 2 months to no avail. I was also caught up in the opt-in beta bug which is maybe why I didn't get a beta key yet.
Anyone kind enough to share one?

I think I might have a spare. Are you around right now?

Awh shoot, looks like I don't currently. If I run into one, I'll let you know for sure.

Alas, I haven't  gotten an extra one either, but I'll throw one your way if I can.

To anyone who's been waiting for a Hearthstone key, check your email! Keys have been sent out to everyone who opted in before the 16th for the final closed testing phase before open beta.

If you're new to the game & are looking to improve (because frankly, getting gold can feel quite slow at times) I highly recommend browsing the reddit, www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone, checking out the articles on this website; http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=437398, and if you're reading about hearthstone anywhere this extension is incredibly helpful; https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hearthstone-linkifier/hgfciolhdhbagnccplcficnahgleflam?hl=en

Couple tips to making progress;
You get some free gold for reaching level 10 as every class.
You get some free gold for beating every expert level AI once.
Don't bother with the AI after that, go against other players in casual mode or ranked (it really doesn't matter, you start at the last rank & can't go below that so you might as well), the AI will derp hardcore sometimes & there's not a lot to be learned from that.
You get some free dust for your first disenchant. On the subject of disenchanting, I highly recommend only disenchanting gold cards - it's very inefficient to disenchant cards (especially commons) to craft cards you might aquire anyways. I recommend disenchanting gold cards though, they give you a good chunk of dust.

I don't have any tips on cards to get first, go with what you think you'd enjoy - there will always be those cards that people will say are extremely powerful & you should get them ASAP in order to win more often, etc, but I'll let ya'll find those on your own & develop your own opinions.
