"HS" What will happen with cards from open beta in the full release of HS?

[xarmon]

Hey Peeps,

I got a question if i buy card packs in the shop with real money do i keep those cards in the the full release of HS
or is it just a waist of money?

Friendly greets.

You either keep them or you get the coin value of the packs afaik.

The cards will get removed, but you will get new stack of card packs to open. You will not lose your money.

I'm fairly certain that blizzard has stated that there will be no more wipes.

So keep playing, testing, and amassing your Hearthstone collection, as we do not plan on performing another card data wipe.

Please stop misinforming people. There will be no wipe. All the cards you've collected you will see them in Release. (Same as it happened when Closed Beta went to Open Beta)

There is no way they are letting you keep your Beta progress. They meant no wipes during beta.

Think what you want, there will be a wipe when the beta ends.

There will not be any more card wipes, including when beta ends.

Especially as Blizzard have now gone full-promo with it.

Do you have any sort of link or reference? or are you just assuming?

I understand that in most games there's a wipe between the beta and release...but I think the only wipe will be to the ladder and not your actual collection

Thanks for the fast reply guys.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see, but there is no reason to avoid standard post-beta wipe. Beta has bugs, glitches, different card dealing algorithms etc. The game is not finished. That is the reason you don't migrate beta content to final product. Blizzard never did that, nobody does that. Period.

Neverwinter is one that went from open beta to live without a wipe.. so it is at least possible.

FAQ - Hearthstone

Will the cards I earn or purchase in the beta test carry over into the live game? What happens if I purchased card packs for real money during the beta?
At this point in the beta, all purchases will exist in your game going forward. Also, as a thank you for testing out the in-game store during Hearthstone’s beta phase, everyone who purchased a card pack or entry into The Arena in the beta test will receive a Golden Legendary card, Gelbin Mekkatorque!

Ok, I will take you word and go through the pain to unlock all remaining heroes. You better be right
