Loot Chest Unboxing

So yesterday afternoon, Heroes of the Storm 2.0 launched. It completely revamped the progression system, adding "loot chests" of four items each - items that could previously only be gotten through real money purchases, as well as brand new cosmetic flavorings.

Those who played before the change logged in with special chests based on their total hero levels prior to the change. When the number were crunched, I ended up with 5 common chests, 55 Epics, and 6 special Veteran chests (basically a common chest with a fifth guaranteed Legendary item). Duplicates award "shards" which allow you to craft the item you want if you didn't get it.

My original plan was to open them next Monday at my gaming group in front of my friends, but they were all excited to play yesterday so I logged each item I got. I am posting them here, mainly for my friends who didn't get to see it in person. But if you're a HotS player, you may appreciate it too...

I Need a Hero

Hello, my name is Adam, and I'm a Heroes of the Storm addict

After Over a Month of Nothing, Hey! Post-A-Day!

Yes yes, like I always do after not having anything to say for a month, I try and go for a week of one post per day before going off into obscurity again for a while. So I'm here to announce that.

What I won't have this year is a standard Halloween entry, since due to budget and time concerns I'm just pulling my Vader suit out, and it's like - who hasn't seen that?

I'll also be stepping outside my comfort zone a bit this week, so be prepared.

Lastly, this December I'm bringing back my Listmas thing from my early days, to simply update based on new material and changing opinions.

Watch this space.

Good news: Content!

Bad news: Nothing to do with Star Wars - I'm on a sabbatical from the galaxy far, far away in case people are wondering but I hope to come back to my Jedi News column this September.

In the meantime, I just watched my first YouTube Livestream. Guess what it was about!
