This Week’s ‘Hearthstone’ Tavern Brawl is Now Live – It’s… Too Many Portals, or Maybe Showdown at Blackrock Mountain

TouchArcade Rating:

Well, this is kind of weird. This is normally when we’d post about the new Hearthstone (Free) Tavern Brawl being live, but it’d appear that there’s bit a bit of a SNAFU this week. Per a post on reddit, this week’s Tavern Brawl is supposed to be “Too Many Portals," which basically mimics the Hunter Webspinner craziness except with Unstable Portals. … Buuuut, a bunch of people (myself included) are seeing the old Showdown at Blackrock Mountain Tavern Brawl featuring Nefarion versus Ragnaros.

Blizzard Community Manager Zeriyah has chimed in and has mentioned they’re working on a fix. Also, there isn’t any free pack double dipping this week once they get all this ironed out.

Hi all,

Currently in the Europe region, it is showing Ragnaros vs. Nefarian as this week’s Tavern Brawl. As noted in the OP, this is not the correct brawl for the week – the correct Tavern Brawl is “Too Many Portals". Sometimes when you play with dimensional space, the wrong Tavern Brawl gets sucked through the portal. Whoops.

We’re currently working on a fix so everyone can enjoy the new Tavern Brawl for this week. If you currently earned a card pack for winning in the Rag vs Nef Tavern Brawl, that counts as your pack of the week. Thanks for your patience!

Sooooo… Yeah! I guess if you really wanted to revisit playing as Ragnaros, you better hurry before they fix it. The Unstable Portal tavern brawl sounds pretty awesome too,

      Ohh!! This is very exciting. Glad I left $10 in credit just in case something extra special snuck out. Even Maglor agrees.

        I don't trust Maglor, has a tendency to pick really strange games to instabuy.

          It's a feline conspiracy! lol, most of the time he's spot on, but yes...I would definitely read feedback in the forums before you instabuy based on an ascii over enthusiastic dancing cat image... :P no offense sir maglor

      Hmm... This was on my watch list and I'm definitely interested. However, my only iOS device is my 6 plus. Would be helpful to see a Mobcrush stream before I buy it.

      This is a pleasant surprise. Was searching for some stuff for the weekend. Think I'll give it a shot. Screen size shouldn't be a problem for me cause I'll be playing on an iPad, but wondering about the low res comments.

      1. hellscaretaker

        The game graphics by the looks have been scaled down its not retina or metal, if you compare it to PCs it is poor to,say the least.

        As I said on thread even on a iPad some of the graphics on star map are tiny so if we have problems seeing them on iPad I hate to,think what it's like on iPhone. Still if you can bear with these issues its not half bad but it's no ELITE either.

        1. Gamer_Kev

          I've played it some and can definitely see what you mean. It does look like you're playing a iPad 1 game, though I imagine with all that's going on, on the screen, that tablet wouldn't have been able to handle it memory wise. It's not a deal breaker for me or anything but some of the small texts are difficult to see even on my full size iPad. I do hope they bring the res up enough to see the smaller stuff clearly in an update, but like I said it's not going to stop me from playing it if they don't. As it stand though, I couldn't imagine playing this on anything smaller than the large iPad.

      Don't bother I'm getting a refund the lag is unbelievable, the graphics are total rubbish compared to the pc and no-where in the description was it stated that this was a direct port.

      Bring the developer to my sword!

      Finally a true "the sims" game, i was looking for a good SIMulation game.

    6. henrycupcake

      lol this game looks like the space version of fallout shelter

    7. rick0r

      For those that are wondering, this is nowhere near the resolution of Fallout Shelter for example, and the screen elements are absolutely tiny. Multiple buttons on the space of a single thumb press on iPhone 6.

      Looks interesting but $7 seems a bit high. I'll wait and see if it ever goes on sale.

    9. Repulsa

      Definitely Not worth the price everything is soo sloooow the jaunt from planet to planet takes forever and there's nothing to do but watch your crew sit on the toilet. Not my cup of tea.
