    Does seem a little too easy to me. Of course they probably wanted to test the waters for crossovers with something really easy, I expect later they'll introduce more difficult rewards.

    Ya you do need them if you want to get anywhere high in rank.

    You are right, you just need to spend massive amounts of time and be extremely good at the game.

    Did it reset your decks and card collection in US? Just logged to EU and seems nothing changed just "BETA" disappeared from loading screen

    They never said that. Reward for buying packs was a golden legendary card.

    People are extremely cheap, especially ones who play F2P exclusively. Doubt many F2P'ers are like "Oh cool a mount, all I have to do is buy a game and pay 15 a month to use it".

    I thank Blizzard for actually giving us, the loyal fans something for nearly nothing that isn't tied to some crap like RAF, or SoR. This promo, even if you are horrible, or hate the HS, it's 3 wins. I wish there were more tie-ins like this, milestones would be great.

    Annoying that some people want everything to be a challenge, so they can feel special. It doesn't matter, hell you think the guy who got the legendary amulet from MC back in the day still feels special? I think he was the only person who got it before it was removed from the game... People need to try harder at life, and just play for fun.

    Sorry for the rest of that, wasn't aimed at you.

    Lolwhat? You still fight people in casual and it is harder than ranked for the first few ranks.

    VERY frustrating. I absolutely hate these types of games. I have continuously had the most horrible cards so that I am dead before the other guy is down to 20 points...wtf?

    Just got the achievement at 10:40 GMT+1
    Are you playing the right mode?

    I predicted the "P2W!!!" "RNG BS" "THIS IS STUPID WOOOOOW" comments would flood in.
    Y'all just have to get gud <3. Getting 3 wins even when you're just starting should be easy-ish. If you can't seem to win with the basic free deck you were given, then just build your own. Just Google Trump basic mage deck, and you should see what cards you should really really avoid in your deck. I don't really remember how many basic cards you got though, but it wasn't that bad I think. You just have to hope there won't be a flood of legendary decks, but most of them are +20 by now. Or will be after evening in Ammuricah time.

    On a side note, I'm gonna make peoples lives miserable when EU gets this too. I'm sitting on rank 25 anyway.

    Edit: on a side side note. For those that are just trying out Hearthstone for the first time, don't let the constructed (Play) scare you away. The most fun, for me anyway, is the Arena where you don't have to slug through the endless waves of P2W you get in constructed. Since its all RNG more or less, making it quite unpredictable every game. Not for everyone of course, but do give it a spin before you drop the game.

    Strange,
    I won 1 game yesterday and 2 today, and didn't get the achievement yet.. (Europe)
    Can anyone confirm getting it on EU realms yet ?

    /Len


    Edit:

    Okay, I just won another time and got the achievement (Apparently the games I did yesterday did not count)
    So, did 3 games now and got it, I guess it only applies to games won today.

    Best of luck to you all!

    Yup, better that every one looks the same, have all the same gems/enchants, so much better to have a collective where no one stands out and you have no one to aspire to be as good as, best idea ever!.

    It seems you need to win 3 games today after the patch on eu. I won 3 games last night nothing. Won 3 games this morning and it worked.

    EDIT:

    I can confirm it's available in the EU as well. (Maybe it got delayed here slightly because of the maintenance/patch this morning?). Started up Hearthstone around 10 AM GMT+1 after downloading the new Hearthstone patch, won 3 ranked games and got the pop-up for the mount in HS. Logged onto WoW and found the mount in the mailbox.

    Finally got the mount. Lost almost 13 times in a row, but it was worth the mount I will probably only ever use once, and flaunt around the FoS until everyone has it.
