Something that wasn’t mentioned in the previous patch notes is that the Tavern Pass got discounted by half. You can now get it for $9.99 or 1250 Gold. It doesn’t seem like a temporary offer, it has no ending date etc.
As a reminder, Tavern Pass is a way to purchase the extra Battlegrounds perks – picking from 4 Heroes instead of 2, having access to detailed stats, emotes etc. It also lets player use new Heroes right away, as opposed to regular people, who have to wait for 2 weeks before they get added to their respective pools. On top of that, it contains 4 Arena tickets, making it even a better deal, given that those would normally cost 600g (so the Pass part itself is only 650g if you’re also into Arena – and in the worst case scenario you can just concede empty runs for 4 packs and some extra small Gold/Dust rewards).
And it only makes that it got discounted. Tavern pass lasts until the new expansion. At the beginning of an expansion, it’s much more valuable, since you’re getting full 4 months of perks. The longer you wait, the less it would be worth it to get it at full price. To be perfectly honest, it would be cool it it would get automatically discounted by $5 per month (so $15 after 1st month, $10 after second, $5 after third and then it resets to the full price and duration when new set launches).
Anyway, if you’re playing a lot of Battlegrounds and wanted to test the Pass, it’s a solid opportunity. You can get it on Battle.net in the in-game shop after downloading the latest patch.
P.S. Yesterday the offer was not displaying correctly – you would still see the old price, but after making the purchase you would get the discounted one. If you purchased it after yesterday’s patch and haven’t god a discount, be sure to contact customer support.
This is not a discount? First it was supposed to last for a whole wow year, now it only lasts until the next expansion?
Nope. Still not getting it. 🙂 I do actually like the 2 hero restriction even.
Ps, I would definitely get a pass like this for ranked, even if it was money only. Hs really lacks some stats I think.
If only Blizzard would apply the same concept of discount to wild legendaries and packs. Surely if something has seen its day in standard and has rotated into wild then it should be cheaper to craft and purchase in gold from the shop hmm?
Good news! 😀 But i can’t 1° a match like 30 games (maybe 2 months ago). :/ MMR 7.8k and then crush. xD I’m not playing anymore.
