The new Hearthstone expansion Journey to Un’Goro is now live in North America, signaling the start of the Year of the Mammoth. Cards from The Grand Tournament, League of Explorers, and Blackrock Mountain have been moved from Standard to Wild, to make room for the 135 new cards that are now available.
Journey to Un’Goro also brings a pair of new mechanics to the game: Adapt, which enables minions to take on powerful new abilities, and Quests, a new Legendary card type with specific prerequisites that, when completed will reward players with a powerful new card or effect.
Some players on Reddit have reported that the Hearthstone servers seem to be struggling to keep up with the load. There may also be issues with the Mass Disenchant function, Kripp’s pack opening rate, and missing “All tables full” queue times. Nothing too unusual for an expansion rollout, really, but be prepared for a bit of a wait—and don’t click on anything without double-checking.
