Hearthside Chat with Dave Kosak: Knights of the Frozen Throne Missions

[@Hearthstone]

Dave Kosak discusses the challenges of bringing the Lich King to hearthstone and reveals a few new cards!

[@vijaygarv]

What are all the class encounters with the Lich King?

[@GoldGalaxianFin]

I have already beaten all adventures on heroic. You think that "lich king" is "hard". I have seen more difficulty on chromagus on heroic.

[@theshadowman7691]

DJ-Amezo The FinskaBomb no adventure yet heroic or standard... has set your health to 1 on turn 1

[@DDespicable]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That freaking hilarious! Suck it mages!

[@moltenpanther3736]

How about you give people what we what you now death knight and monk classes

[@tonjoubasara5259]

''You play cards the way my Father ran his kingdom. Weakly.'' pure savage right there !

[@EndTheEnding]

Tonjou Basara probably also a pun for weekly because we only play tavern brawl nowadays

[@fathappy3]

Hopefully the quality will be even higher than previous adventures. Those missions where great fun.

[@CuriousDust]

Cant wait for arthas interactions with Jaina and Uther

[@blasramirezlaborde7609]

CuriousDust and the Lich King, mabye

[@GreatfulGert]

Lol literally none

[@paladinprime9202]

Well it looks like I'm going to have to play rocky music to fight Arthas as NINE different classes!

[@christiangarza8122]

But that one health though

[@mysticalgoose2349]

IMAGINE YOU ARE RETAKING THE HOLY LAND BROTHER AND YOU WILL BE VICTORIOUS!

[@paladinprime9202]

The Wierd Deus Vult!

[@mysticalgoose2349]

DEUS VULT!

[@silasthule9199]

play reno...

[@erosfabricio325]

Dave: "Do you think you can defeat the Lich King 9 times?" Me: YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER.

[@jamescarter4869]

Arthas! You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the undead, not join them! Good old times. makes me want to play the campaign again.

[@ViolacTrough]

Things appear to be shaping up well. Also, I for one, Look forward to serving our new Paladin overlords.

[@LakritsUwU]

DWC15 hail our master the paladins may our praying maybe give us a chance of mercy

[@elvispepely4778]

is that a Simpsons reference?

[@ImSquiggs]

But which one is the real video?

[@facelessman9224]

Are people still getting double videos? I'm not getting that anymore.

[@N1ke]

Guess who's gonna put Al'akir with corpsetaker in his deck...

[@vahe1813]

nice thinking mate

[@iamhere8267]

That's a paladin card right?

[@samdillard1824]

Sam Gamlin its neutral

[@vijaygarv]

N1ke corpsetaker is a paladin card and Al'Akir The Windlord is a Shaman card so good luck with that. I doubt that's going to ever happen and Paladin doesn't have Hallucinations in their deck

[@Alfonso88279]

Corpsetaker is a neutral card.

[@Vorlite]

What is that starting hand :O 1:10

[@Sniperfuchs]

Some amazing ideas but why would you tell us any of this beforehand? I remember the look on some streamer's faces when Rafaam stole their deck and setting their health to 1 would have a similar great effect.But now that is kinda spoiled.

[@chrisberg2]

Yea well only 2 class encounters spoiled still 7 left, but I see what you mean - I remember being suprised about Rafaam aswell.

[@nickpavon4388]

Sniperfuchs I guess it because now they have 9 of those moments so they spoil some to get people hyped for the others

[@Sniperfuchs]

Kyonami Yeah I can see that, but the whole idea of every class being different and what not. Feels kind of lame to now know this big gimmick.

[@SuzakuX]

It'll be datamined anyway.

[@tmdiz4579]

Because so far all the card reveals have suck and they have to get the hype train going.

[@salon9417]

Quest: Beat The Lich King with all 9 classes. Reward: permanent virginity

[@Dredbot-hj7gy]

I already have that Reward. Kappa

[@swagmaster1437]

Dredbot 1337 i recieved it as a privilige

[@tickingabomination170]

I'm excited!

[@yoo667]

me too

[@inigomiquel]

Ticking Abomination excited for kill your board?

[@filipporamagini5227]

Ticking Abomination yo imagine using evolve and getting ticking abomination LOL

[@Dmactyjc133]

just don't get too excited and clear your own board..

[@blehaman5950]

Why is ticking abomb a meme rn

[@stussiedwards2683]

When are you doing the return to wild event?

[@Yes-jh7bx]

im just gonna leave this here

[@xandp2611]

.

[@dapperdapster]

Paul Brown Brode said that they're hoping to get it out before summer ends on Twitter

[@stussiedwards2683]

Dubster Velocity oh thank you

[@moona202]

Why so much hate? Such a hype vid looking forward to this expansion

[@Noremac951]

My favorite class is Paladin and I'm all for another hero portrait and everything, but how about showing druids, Warlocks some love? I would love a Hamuul Runetotem for Druids since there's no Tauren hero yet and we could get an Undead hero or a dreadlord/demon hero for Warlocks. Both Mages and Paladins now have three hero portraits while there's still two classes with none. Share the love Blizzard!!

[@frankey10]

THIS IS HOW YOU HYPE AN EXPANSION!

[@frankey10]

What? Shitbomination is an awesome card... I can't wait to craft 2 golden versions.

[@attitudeRKO1]

Mac heh 2? .. real man craft 4 .. how you may ask? craft 2 the dis them tge recraft .. just for value .. since trashbomination is bringing value with him

[@JulienRoigHerr]

I previously left a comment on the KotFT announcement video saying I would like these video's to be less cringy and easier to watch. To follow up on that I would like to say that this is what I am talking about. A developer being himself while speaking is much more enjoyable for me to watch.

[@doubled6490]

Julien Herr normies dont get memes i see...

[@MadSwedishGamer]

You can use Wild decks in adventures, right? Reno Jackson seems like a pretty good card to include if you're fighting the Lich King as Mage, you just need to stall until you draw him and have enough Mana. Unless the Lich King has direct damage spells, in which case I have no clue how you're supposed to do it.

[@wh33lers]

Dave very well presented that content. Loved the video... can't wait.

[@avsaucyboi9733]

We better get a 3 mana 8/8 with a overload of 3

[@OHA97]

Corpsetaker sounds like an autoinclude in every deck (maybe except mage)

[@bloodfang9820]

OHA97 that depends on how you look at it. While there are many viable, universal minions with taunt and some with divine shield, windfury is a bit hard to squeeze in while not concentrating on a specific deck build. And we still have no idea how viable the minions with lifesteal will be. And it says in deck, not in hand, so there will be a lot of RNG involved to pull Gravedigger before any of those minions (unless you wanna build your deck solely around them)

[@nickpavon4388]

Piotr Wittek I think corpse taker would be pretty solid in shaman decks since a lot of them have taunts and windfury

[@daws761]

Kyonami just add alakir and you get 3 out of 4.

[@MrMockRock]

An aggro Shaman deck that can drop a divine shield, windfury minion scares me just a bit. Apart from that, Paladin seems like the other natural fit, and maybe an aggro deck that runs Argent Squire.

[@OHA97]

yeah i also thought that windfury is not going to be seen on it very often but still it sounds pretty strong

[@Facuchena]

On the minute 02:15 they showed a common card called bonemarc, its that a legitimaly card for the set? Or just a lich king card?

[@spartnstarcraft2]

This guy does a really good job introducing new content, he seems really passionate about the game.

[@yaerius]

Yes, yes, yes! That is what I wanted! Prince Arthas, welcome in my army.

[@EmperorBello]

I PRAYED AND PRAYED AND PRAYED AND THOUGHT AND HONESTLY KNEW! IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN I WOULD NEVER HAVE ARTHAS AS A PALADIN HERO!! HERE IT IS! THIS IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!

[@EightThreeEight]

Thank you SO MUCH for bringing the mission stuff back. Frankly, deciding to stop doing those adventures was a dumb idea.

[@Bebop17]

Pretty darn hyped about this now! Dave did a great job here!

[@theronerdithas2944]

Running through Ice Crown with Attack on Titan music in the backgrough. Epicness overload!

[@palcugyozo8980]

when can open my Knights of the Frozen Throne packs (exactly) ???

[@Ubiiiii22]

Dave's awesome! I'm super excited for this!

[@chrisberg2]

Great reveal video - This should have been the one they showed 24.

[@Asper_A_Goose]

Asked this on twitter but... what happens to your Hero Skin when you play a Hero Card? Will my Maiev turn into Valeera the Death Knight?

[@psynque]

Asparagus All alt. hero skins will turn into default heroes after Death Knight transformation.

[@what_that_cant_be]

psynque well that sucks I was hoping to see a Death Knight Morgle

[@w18ftw]

Blizzard thanks you for your 10 Dollars.

[@evanauger6574]

I hope the Paladin hero card has something to do with divine shield

[@ZuhexEntertainment]

ikr, like, Battlecry: give all your minions divineshield

[@yutiko]

Evan Auger for rest of the game your minions have divine shield :O

[@ZuhexEntertainment]

OP OP OP OP OP

[@ZAndr3yZ]

Thank you Dave Kosak ! Can't wait to play the new expansion

[@avaloninamber5710]

This video was so good. Nice to hear things from a new face, thanks for telling us about this cool stuff Dave Kosak. :)

[@tohruchungus5445]

Best official Hearthstone video is while

[@mutzikatzi1]

I have a question. When this expansions is released you can't get any duplicates of legendaries (as long as you don't habe every one) But what is when I open my pre order 50 packs before i do the solo challenge ? Can I still get "Prince Arthas" two times ? Would suck, because you probably need new cards from this expansion to defeat every boss.

[@mutzikatzi1]

OHHH. It's just a new portrait not the paladin legendary death knight hero.

[@JustSomeDamnGinger]

Now that's the kind of mission reward we needed! I'm so glad it's not just a card. That would be pretty restricting to newer players without a massive collection of cards to be able to beat him with all 9 classes, but it's hopefully difficult enough to make the Paladin alternate hero at least something of a badge of honor.

[@Johnoamondo]

i really want that last image of the nights of the frozen expansion as a moving wall paper!! please make this happen for us to download!

[@davidfernandezii4295]

This is some great incentives to beat the lich king with all 9 classes. Well done

[@SinofSloth6855]

I was excited about the new expansion when it was first announced, really excited! Then I saw some mage and rogue card reveals and I was mad because it looked like freeze mage was getting buffed, and after this reveal I'm excited again!!!

[@al-aurum2457]

this is somewhat you expect during the introduction of the expansion..awesome!

[@bim41337]

This is some seriously intriguing news :) Once again, Blizzard comes up with great stuff for their players. Really one of the top game producers out there! Young Arthas as a special reward, that's just awesome :D

[@hammertime1607]

Am I going to be able to defeat arthas using basic cards? Or I'll have to purchase enough cards to make "good enough" decks for each class?

[@wind7519]

Wow, good voice acting on Dave's part. Going along with the undead theme.

[@Roo2o]

This all sounds great, can't wait to try these missions and hopefully get Arthas!

[@fishum6483]

Anyone else notice how dave looks through the camera, through the screen and deep down your soul whenever he is on screen.

[@TheLegoJungle]

This was very cool. And surprisingly not cringy. Well done.

[@PrinceOfOpinion]

Yes! Alternate hero's that are actually hard to get!

[@Kujamon]

those new warlock cards look so good 0:01

[@AwpWilliams]

I can't tell if he's overworked or if he needs to clear his throat.

[@Demetrius900000]

So basically Lich King is like Kel'thuzad? And I really love that every class will have a different encounter, new hero and Bolvar!

[@Shinjo281]

Where is the Mulligan's episodes I want to see more!!!

[@Weenaru]

More importantly, does Arthas mention anything about installing thermostats in the throne room?

[@Speverban]

Miss your lore panels at BlizzCon, Dave!

[@SanderMalus]

will this adventure have a time limit or we will be able to defeat lich king infinite number of times during the years to come?

[@Th3Sh1n1gam1]

I just realized something... how will the alternate heroes be affected by the deathknight hero cards?

[@bosuro]

Th3Sh1n1gam1 they become normal heroes :/

[@vince0308]

i love the "winter"-theme synchronous with Game of Thrones

[@ryuchigo]

Does anyone know if wickerflame is going to get his effect changed to lifesteal so that corpsemaker is great with wicker in your deck?

[@JakaVerdnik]

Time to tryhard the Lich King fight once it goes live.

[@BoricuaSamurai97]

"Ya I don't think I'm gonna beat this dude with all 9 classes" "You'll get arthas as a hero" "Done and done"

[@brian-vm1zt]

This is the hype we needed.

[@stronorhighlander]

to get the new hero do u have 2 replay the whole thing or just beat him 9 times

[@whut9245]

Yes more divine shield synergy iv been looking forward to this for ages with a blood knight deck just sitting there...

[@Queltomen]

Hoping dk hero appears later on after this expansion. Darion Mograine as a hero, alternate Kultira and Thassarian perhaps?

[@unowno123]

WOW look at the card priest is holding at 5:05 FINALY LEGIT HEROPOWER?

[@aaaaaa-kz9cb]

This is the reason I play hearthstone not over

[@icefrogice5240]

1:29 Silenced priest

[@VortFX]

icefrog how does ppl notice thinks like that? XD. Nice.

[@zeta2209]

Oh wow, must be priest's challenge against Arthas. Should be fun to play priest without hero power or maybe even spells.

[@MrDane59]

zeting aw Look at his hand, i guess you cant use minions lol

[@lukefairhurst5980]

Does anyone else kinda love this guy's voice?

[@ΓιώργοςΠαπαδόπουλος-θ1κ]

Well Arthas seems tough sooo it's time to bookmark hearthpwn

[@RoyInverse]

If im using arthas skin and i put the new hero card i turn into uther DK? or do they have variants for every skin?

[@Droxal]

Love the Game of Thrones reference "Winter is Here"

[@Krokodilius]

pretty good opener, but i think pirates beats it.

[@ZuhexEntertainment]

lmfao

[@theslashx3876]

ryan phillips ew

[@TheFranciscoFm]

It is confirmed that Pirats will cost 10 more mana when you play as a Warrior

[@troys50]

They have taunt. Taunt > Pirates

[@alfonso6012]

The lich king will start with taunt minions or gain a bunch of armor

[@mlgoreokid4028]

i cannot wait. this expansion is going to be amazing

[@ChicagosHomie]

I was clearing my throat every 10 seconds listening to this guy.

[@darkaleksboy1548]

Did you get the "cold"?

[@somalianpirate7305]

I didn't realize Bonemare (2:14) was a collective card... it's crazy good. :^)

[@Tias858]

Looks awesome, great job!

[@theok391]

Will we pay to play the 9 challenges?

[@thecookiemeister5374]

"This time around, paladins are gonna fight dirty" Really sticking to the theme of the class there champ. What's next, is rogue gonna be filled with taunters?

[@sosomadman]

The CookieMeister they are if you try and play questing mill rogue

[@thecookiemeister5374]

bbbuster o

[@SealingWG]

All these comments hating on his voice :( I like this guy

[@nick-playercharacter8583]

I'm so glad Hearthstone is still going forward with PvE content.

[@Jamick98Geass]

I've been secretly hoping they would someday make an Arthus Paladin skin, but figured it would never happen. AHHHH so hyped.

[@GeorgeRMN]

SHWAAA!!!1 Prince Arthas! Now I have a reason to play these single player games!

[@RemusNeo]

Arthas hero skin? Nice! :D

[@wouju9600]

But wait, can we only get Arthas hero until the adventure is open?

[@henrileino5270]

What if you play mage turn 1 kabal lackey and mana blind, then turn 2 use it and hero power

[@bosuro]

Henri Leino good point

[@АнтонНекрасов-т9н]

but he has armor. so you need to break the armor first and then do a combo none the less dealing 31 damage is much easier than 60.

[@pain1373]

YOOOO hold one 1 min i dont know something pls someone tell me this the new expansion is a expansion of cards i mean like dino cards etc or is and adventure like mediv one or the black rock mountain i think is calld ?

[@sosomadman]

Do you think you can make a better mill rogue.

[@Petrico94]

AWESOME, Arthus the Paladin face! Can we get a new warlock already though?

[@StefanKende]

Now that looks like a challenge. Finally some good PVE action

[@TheEel228]

amazing can't wait to see more

[@AllNicknamesStolen]

And I'm still waiting for Tyrande to be obtainable in my region.

[@cluehunter18]

So Divine Shield Paladin archetype? I kinda like the idea tbh.

[@Seoundy]

Corpsetaker-"Winter is here"

[@connormacdonald9217]

Watching that last bit, I couldn't help but think of SBEmail's "Virus" episode. "I CAN DO IT. I CAN DO IT NINE TIMES."

[@joshe3108]

But what about Naxx?

[@gwtlightning3818]

I did get in 2days 4 legendarys from this new expansion 3from card packs and 1 from the first mission how lucky can i get more? OMG!!!
