No idea but the rope just kept burning and burning. I restarted and it looks like it gave me the win anyway, perhaps it was on my end...it was just weird timing for it freeze right then.

If they disconnect sometimes it does that shit. The game has some serious syncing issues since forever. There were a few actual exploits(like several months ago you could actually do the force hang stuff by playing tracking then going afk and the turn would never end) but for the most part it's just fucking bugs with you or your opponent being disconnected and the game never figuring it out and syncing with the clients.

5,000 gold banked right now. Naxx pricing can't come soon enough...
As soon as I know how much Naxx costs, I'll spend down to the point where I can pay for all of Naxx and then start saving again. I really don't need much but I am still missing a few Legendary and Epic cards and Golden cards are always fun.

I managed to bank 1k, which was the most I had ever saved at once. Then I said fuck it and bought packs. God only knows when they're actually going to drop Naxx, so I should have enough time to save up most of the money I'll need between the announcement and the actual release.

I've been having a hard time holding on to the gold I do have for Naxx (about 3200 atm) since I am missing so many good (and necessary) cards still. An announcement would be great.

I have 4k banked but I'm really afraid they are going to make it a disproportionate ratio of gold vs. real money in order to tempt people to just buy it with money instead of gold.
for example, if the prices announced are $16 for all 4 wings, or 4,000 gold, you might as well just buy it with money, since the gold in-game equivalent is $50 worth of packs or 52ish arena admissions.
Since there is no way to directly convert money to gold or gold to money, they can separate the two prices for naxx by a wide margin in order to discourage gold hoarders.
And yes Nola, game does need a better way to make gold. I'm really hoping Naxx introduces this, so that after you beat the wings and class challenges for your cards, you can replay them for some amount of gold.

Why would they want to give you faster gold?
What you say about the pricing makes sense though, but if that's the case I'll just drop the cash and buy tons of packs with all my hoarded gold. I was wondering if the packs will have new cards in them now too, or can you only get new cards by running Naxx?
There's a lot I don't know about how this is going to work, not sure if it IS known, but...can you pay once per wing and then run it til you beat it or do you have to pay again every time you fail?

you can only get the new cards by running naxx, but they will show up in arena as random picks as well. wing bosses have legendaries, regular bosses have the other neutrals, and the class challenges give you the new class card. you only have to pay once to unlock a wing and it is unlocked permanently. first wing will be free, the next 3 will cost money, and the 5th will cost money and require you to have beaten the other 4.
And they need to introduce money for beating the challenges/wings because if they don't, after you beat each battle twice to get both cards from it, there will never, ever, be ANY reason to play naxx ever again since you'll already have the cards and they cannot be dusted (they are soulbound). So their huge expansion that they've been working on for literally a year will be beaten in all of about maybe 2 days from the time the wing opens.

Don't know if there will be gold rewards, besides maybe the 10gold per 3wins thing. The reason to beat the wings is they'll simply put the golden version of the cards behind stupid achievements, some of which will probably be "clear entire naxx once a week for 6weeks" or whatever. I could see them reward gold, maybe, but I think it'll be unlikely, as I said before, because of botting.
It also makes sense for them to make it "cheaper" to buy with money than gold, since they do want people to buy it with money, not with gold. I'm fine with it, if it's reasonably priced for money, I'll just spend money then buy a bunch of packs, don't lose much and I need many cards still. If it's too expensive(in my opinion I mean, I doubt they'll sell it for crazy prices regardless but like if it's 10bucks per wing they can go fuck themselves) I'll just spend my gold and keep doing daillies for a few months until I have all the shit done. Well first I'll wait to see what are the rewards and what's most efficient use of my gold.

gold versions of the cards come from beating the heroic challenge of each encounter.
Most of this information is already known from the 2 leaks:
naxx - Imgur
which confirmed the other leak that I posted earlier in this thread, which has since been taken down, even the archived version. I'm trying to find another mirror but I don't think any other site saved it, they only linked to the original...

Ya it's funny they are putting so much time into this when all they really needed to do was add new cards.

Eh, its more interesting than just "adding new cards", creates a gold sink, gets them money$ and adds more single player options. Not that the game is really supposed to be single player friendly, but for people still joining there will be the regular tutorial, leveling, then Naxx content to build some coin and collection before jumping into the shark pool of live players.
Now that you put it that way I can totally see them adding more questing with this stuff. Maybe mix in some PvE Naxx dailies, heroic versions if you've beaten the heroic wings and some more one-time quest rewards like 100 gold when you beat a wing the first time etc. Achievement system would probably go a long way for the game too.
I think some of you are back to the MMO trap of thinking that min/maxer's like this board are all the players, but there are still more casual people playing as well. There would seem to be a ton of stuff they could still do to this game to add depth (2v2 anyone?) eventually, but of course this is Blizzard so it will be slow and some people will chew up every update in no time flat.

The 5000 was the total cost for a scaling price per wing. The first wing was 500g then +500g per wing. That would make it accessible to new players, they didn't say all of it would be accessible and I highly doubt that'll be the case, but having one cheap wing(hell even a free wing) would make it accessible and they can tax on the rest.
