New Alternate Mage Hero: Khadgar

[Polarthief]

I'm fine with it being a second Mage hero because to have the first alt skin for a class would be terrible to keep exclusive.

That said, FUCK exclusivity like this, especially when you have a 10-day time limit.

[McNeil]

Good thing I've always had HS on my iPad. Not a fan of the Khadgar portrait by the looks of it, but I'm probably still buying it because I'd like to support WWF.

[Vynestra]

I do want to add if you click on his portrait once you have him it says something like "Available from a promotion in April 2016" or something, so they might not let people buy him later on.

I'm sure they'll release it at a later time to everyone, it'll probably just be $10 and the profits will go to Blizzard. I don't think they would make him super exclusive like that, not someone like Khadgar. He's the main protagonist in WoD, and Legion.

[Frumpy Frumpy Frak]

Well Jaina Proudtits is still the best looking Mage Hero. Khadgar's head doesn't fit with the rest of his portrait, and Medivh looks very bland on that tiny portrait. They should went with a waist and up shot, not a full body shot.

I agree that Khadgar doesn't look quite right, but his emotes are great and he doesn't make me feel like Blizzard sees my gender as a pack of slavering chimps who'll instinctually throw money at the screen because they were shown a couple of nice titties.

So if I download Hearthstone on say my iPad I'll have it unlocked for my PC?

Still have to buy him, just can't do it on anything but ios.

[Al Gorefiend]

Just bought him. Makes perfect sense it'd be a hero skin for a class that already has one. Imagine the uproar if they released a skin for Druid for example, making it only available for iOS and for a week.

His hero portrait is also lower detail, almost looks like it's from an in-game cinematic. His voice actor also isn't Tony Amendola like it is in WoD.

So he's obviously rushed. But Blizz doesn't pocket any cash from it, he's cheap and for a good cause.

[Totle]

Blizzard don't need this cash, they could have taken a higher road.

100% of the proceeds are going to charity. Blizz isn't pocketing anything.

[Mormolyce]

As a collector I need to own this.

I apparently don't know anyone who owns an iPhone or iPad. I guess I need to be friendlier with turtleneck-wearing hipsters or something.

Wrong. Only purchasable on iOS but playable on PC or anything else.

[Jester Joe]

It ends up I actually do have a friend.

And by that, I mean a friend who didn't sell their iPad, unlike my other friend who did for reasons unknown.

So Khadgar here I come tomorrow.

[breadisfunny]

Another mage hero?

Shamans, warlocks, druids and rogues are upset.

except nobody plays rogues. i mean why make a hero nobody will buy?

[ironik]

Available only on iOS... and THEN you can use him elsewhere. Looks like Activi-$$ard has an Apple in their pocket...

You know it's for a charity event, right?

[Deleted]

Everyone should be on iOS by now anyway. It's 2016, boys, time to consign those other devices to the dustbin of history where they belong.

[Khaza-R]

It is kind of weird that its for a charity but then they decided to make accessible to only some platforms. For the charities sake, you would think you want as many potential buyers as possible.

I just wish they make a more interesting hero. Khadgar looks so boring.

[melzas]

I just don't get why it had to be another human, thematically close to Medivh when they could go with Kaelthas, who would be the only male elf and fire mage on top of it.

[jayeffkay]

Meh the original golden portraits look better than any extras thrown at us for $$$

[Twoddle]

Not that I'm interested in buying the portrait but couldn't you buy it by running an iOS emulator on Windows like everyone did for that 3 pack promotion?
