No.
I think it's great Blizzard is allowing everyone to get old TCG items, as a collector I would love to collect it all! I already have the Dark Portal toy and it's very nice to see others will get their chance to enjoy it too.
I am actually very disappointed in this. The Dark Portal toy is obviously a perfect toy for a Legion, WoD or TBC bundle, but it is also a Rare TCG loot. Just going in and removing its rarity like that is not fair nor fun. This is exactly the same overstep as when they removed Titles from CM realm masters cause “so few have them”, yet Scarab Lord title can remain. If you make the Dark Portal available again then why don’t you throw in a Big Blizzard Bear in the Game-store as well for 20£? Not fair to the players who obtained this TCG who find it awesome to have something rare, and then you just pull it away from them.
Funny to see the current devs cannibalizing the cool ideas from the dev team of the far-past (i.e. neat TCG toys), there really isn't much going on in the R&D lab now these days is there? The ape pet giveaway was just testing the waters.
I do hope these come for retail, too. Insta buy in that case, even for a price of 70 bucks.Might even entice me to play BC and invest in a character boost to re-live the glory era that was BC.
It could be like the Anniversary pack that had the stone looking gryphon/wyvern, it was released around Classic but the rewards were for Retail?
As someone who has owned The Dark Portal toy for many many years I will be super pissed off if they do announce that everyone can just "get" that toy.
No
April's fool is early this year
lol
Better than old tcg items just not being present in TBC classic imo. Hopefully they add in-game ways to get other tcg items
Let's be honest. Tcg stuff should be more accessible one way or another as they're finite. Honestly I would love if they kept up with the tcg loot cards but we know they won't. And no by more accessible I don't mean easily obtained.
Blizzard really shouldn't attack collectors.If they made a different portal, all of the masses are still going to buy it.This way you can make everybody happy.If the Dark Portal HAS to be released at least make it slightly different and/or classic-only.
Over in Europe we got an extra murloc pet with the CE due to some issues, will we get to use those as well?
I wonder about the Netherwhelp's Collar as well.
